lizfirestarter and Alisa

What: Jack is going to let the three female members of his staff blow off a bit of steam and a few 'alien' cars. He's broken out the heavy artillery, treated for pizza and hot dogs to go with heavy machine guns and one rocket grenade launcher.
"Okay, Liz you're not going to name your first born 'Uzi'." Jack teases, as he places the guns, all of them Earth bound guns on the tailgate of the SUV. "I know all of you are trained on how to use these but a bit of out doors practice doesn't hurt anyone."

Yeah, Jack giving Liz the so called freedom to tell Owen he gets to determine if Liz is fit for field work was NOT a good thing. It's a complete no win situation in Liz's mind, so much so she can't even find the guts to bring it up to Owen. Liz is more cranky than ever from trying to come up with a way to have that conversation go smoothly.
She sighs and looks over to Gwen, then Alisa. "You guys wanna go first or should I?"
no subject
"No, you go ahead. I have a feeling you have the most anger you need to get rid of." She smiled warmly at Liz and went over for a piece of pizza. She so did not want to be in Owen's position. She just wanted to be there to watch it when it happened.
Smiling at Alisa, Gwen moved over to the side and decided to just hang back and watch for now. "Jack doesn't do discreet. Not well."
no subject
She wanders over to take a look at the guns and the fact they used the Hummer that's Red friendly with the gun up top gets a smile from her. "I think we're going to wake up a nest of Weevils that have slipped through." She looks at the guns for a bit and then the food, a hot dog is going to be more interesting right now.
"Have fun with that gun, they're all very you and in vogue with this spring's greatest fashion." She takes a bite of the hot dog and she mmphs. "With an accessory of smile." She gives Gwen a smile and she leans back on the tailgate. "Discreet and Jack, you should of seen the look on the people's face when he 'forgot' what side of the road he belonged on."
no subject
Jack looks to see Alisa and Gwen pay more attention to the food instead of the guns. There's a smile on his face and he picks up one of the machine guns and a clip. "Liz I think they're waiting to see you in action." There's more to their trip out there and Jack goes to mention it. "Oh, just to let you know there was some Rift activity here. I'd like to see if we can wake it up, it being a floating creature with ten eyes, a big gaping mouth and those eyes are very laser happy."
Yes, he drug out Gwen and the two pregnant women to do a little monster hunting. It's good for moral even if there's that risk involved. "Hey! I know how to be discreet. As for that van with a bunch of nuns in it? They had it coming for them!"
no subject
"Wake up the rift oggity boogity?" Liz glaces around before fire the weapon, emptying the entire clip into a pile of rubbish on the edge of a fence near the warehouse.
She really didn't know that tank of explosive fuel was there, honest she didn't. Oh, well. At least it was a small explosion. Well, small by Liz's standards, which is to say enough to make all the car alarms within a block or so start blaring.
Liz's jaw drops as she blinks before looking back at the others, unable to hide her shock. "Uh...mission accomplished, I think." So much for discreet...
no subject
Before she could say anything else, Gwen jumped at the sound of the bang. Her eyes widened and she stared as the pile of rubbish blew up in flames. She could feel the heat a little even from this distance.
"Well, at least it wasn't Jack who was broke the discreet rule this time?" She grinned and looked over at the Captain and Alisa, trying not to laugh.
no subject
"If there is even a monster from the Rift out here. I don't think anyone sticks around when you come out here Jack," Alisa smiles, and she loads the clip of the gun.
The explosion gets a flinch and she eyes Liz and Gwen. "Okay, so we get to break our rules of discretion today. Liz the Russian judge gives you a 6." The neighbors surely didn't appreciate it but they're growing more and more used to their colorful neighbors.
She picks an empty trailer and she goes to empty a clip into the side of it. The lack of anything in the single wide is disheartening. "Yes, those ninety-year plus Salvadorian nuns deserved to die due to your horrible driving."
no subject
He might be kidding or not about the monster that's lurking out there, its the fact of life of a global rift that's more than just Cardiff. Then there's the exploding car that gets Jack to flinch. "The Canadians give you a Nine."
He points a finger at Gwen and he slides off of Alisa. "Oh, she reads us like a book. There's nothing that escapes the watchful eyes of old PC Cooper here." He's begging to get slapped by one of the girls here today. Then he watches Alisa with the old trailer. "You're installing air conditioning for the neighbors Alis?"
Then the flaming car and Jack ums a bit. "Everyone has their time and place, so they were about to be ran off the road by me." Jack jokes back and he shifts his hand on the grip of his gun. "I don't think you woke it up Liz."
no subject
She meets Gwen's eyes for half a second. No, she didn't forget that conversation on the TARDIS. That was the moment Liz realized the relationship with Owen really was....real. Still, it took her finding out they were going to have a baby to be brave enough to tell him everything. Well, almost everything. She'd have to thank Gwen for the pep talk, but now was not the time for that.
Liz rolls her eyes, casting an almost judgmental glance between Gwen, Jack and Alisa. She looks back at Gwen. "Remind me to ask you about how to figure Owen out, huh?" With that, Liz grabs a bigger gun, one she's not exactly used to but hey, a gun's a gun right? You've shot one, you've shot them all. "This is more like it..." Liz grins as actually giggles like a kid in that candy store. Jack really should know better than to let Liz Sherman around an assortment of guns by now.
"Guess that means I gotta try again." And with that Liz turns from them and runs closer to the blaze. The heat doesn't bother her much, seeing as her ability makes her fireproof.
no subject
Gwen smiles at the compliment from Jack. It's nice to know that he has her back. It's what made him a great leader. "The Welsh give you a ten, Liz." She turned to Jack and blinked at him. "Nuns? No, wait, I don't want to know."
Gwen nodded her head to Liz. There was a lot she could tell the oher woman about Owen. And not just because she'd been in his bed a time or two, but Liz was right. Now wasn't the time to have that conversation. "Later, over a few strong margaritas." She watched Liz with the bigger gun and she grinned at what she saw. Liz was like Owen with a video game at his computer. Happy. Well, now she knew what to get Liz for Christmas.
However, Gwen doesn't know about Liz's gifts. Not yet. She hadn't been lucky enough to see them in action. "Wait! Liz, don't get too close!" Her eyes widened and she started to run after the girl, intent on keeping her back far enough from the fire. "You need to be careful with that gun!"
no subject
She pats Jack on the head and she gives him a forgiving smile. "Okay, you're back in the bed room." The cop comment gets a little bit of a laugh and she reaches back for a slice of pizza with a free hand. "You have no skills with people in authority. Jack, you're worse than Owen when it comes to tact with authority."
She looks at Liz and in her best mock accent. "You didn't make it blow up big enough!" Then there's a defeated look on her face and she slaps another clip into her gun. "The trailer? Its just got redneck air conditioning. I was really hoping to find a meth lab in the center." Then there's concern for the small fire in the field and she scrunch faces. "Let's try to avoid burning down the Bronx?"
Margaritas, margaritas ... "I'd be glad to have one and so would Liz." She then watches her friend with the gun. "Liz! You've lost your mind!" Okay, the big gun fun is there for all to have. It felt good either way to just be out there and having fun. Alisa places the machine gun back with the other guns and she hefts up the RPG launcher.
no subject
"The two of you forget something about those who think they have authority," Jack places his arms around both Alisa and Gwen. "They only take to having someone with actual authority to rub it in their face. Oh, come on don't tell me, the two of you hate walking all over the Cardiff Police or in this case New York's finest, the Royal Army or United States Army?"
When it comes to the monster remark from Alisa and Gwen he gives their sides a squeeze. "No monster can say no to me!" His eyes are still on Liz when she goes to get another gun. "You shouldn't get that too close to an open flame.."
He lifts his arms up from the two and he eyes Alisa with the rocket launcher. "You know, that says fuck me all over." He looks back at Liz and his face changes, the jovial facial features are changed for something more serious. "LIZ!" Jack calls out and he goes to run after her..
no subject
Everyone else was laughing and having fun still, it seemed. Liz however... "Shit," The closer she got to the epicenter of the blast, the slower and heavier every part of her body seemed to become. It took what felt like ages for Liz to raise her head up enough to get a look at what was coming from the explosion. It was slowing her, physically and mentally. So much so it took her a moment to get her mouth open.
"Aw...crap..." The monster, which had to, of course, resemble a one-eyed floating squid let out a howling scream that nearly knocked Liz off her feet. The flailing tentacle like things took care of that, though.
She hit the ground hard enough to knock the wind out of her and send that shiny gun flying. "Mother..." Liz gasped as a halo of blazing hot fire wrapped it's way around her body instantly, instinctively protecting her from danger. The creature hesitated, but the effect of it's power to slow down any living creature was still too much for Liz to overcome and make an escape.
The beast lunged at Liz, and on instinct her fire flared as her arms shot up to protect her face. "...Fuck." Liz hissed as she watched, and felt, the thing take a chunk out of her favorite leather jacket, and the portion of her arm it was supposed to be protecting.
no subject
She had been about to comment on Alisa with the rocket launcher when she heard Liz. they weren't mocking, just a little poking fun in a loving manner. Gwen agreed with Alisa. Liz had lost her mind. She had never seen anyone run that head first into danger before except Jack.
Her eyes widened and she ran, stopping in her tracks not far behind where Liz was battling the monster. It was like everything was in slow motion. She watched what was happening and for that one moment didn't know what she was supposed to do. When Liz flamed up, Gwen screamed, thinking Liz had caught fire because of the monster. "No! Jack!"
Gwen pulled out her gun and started to fire shots at the monster. There was a small part of her that thought the gunfire would probably be useless, but she still had to try. Suddenly, a tentacle flew out at Gwen, knocking the gun from her hand and throwing her back on her ass with a loud thud.
no subject
"Yes, Jack would be happy in a room full of everyone along with a thing," Alisa teases, and she then watches Jack run after Liz. She's got the rocket launcher in her hand and she goes to run after the three. The kids are going to wind up with some serious issues somewhere in life.
Then out came the tentacled monster and Alisa just has a rocket launcher with her as she runs along with the others. She feels herself in slow motion this is bad as her legs feel like jello. "Ugh...shit...." This just feels bad and she puts the rocket launcher up to her shoulder.
There's no need for instructions on what to do she's going to shoot the monster once it's cleared from Liz and Jack.
no subject
The poking at one another was always done in a loving manner and those limits were never crossed. The creature was successfully drawn out and he left the big machine gun back with the Hummer. He feels his body become sluggish under the effects of the creature and he's taking forever to get his webley out, it's the dream of dreams where he tries to get control of his body but fails.
"GWEN, LIZ..." Jack's lack of control of his legs has him falling flat on the disgusting ground. His gun still sitting snug in it's holster he stays there.
The sounds of gunfire and now a rocket are heard. "ALISA!" He turns his head to see his staff, two of them pregnant going after this thing but it has Liz and he needs to get to her.
no subject
Liz cried out in pain at the bite. Her mind was clouded, the effect of the monster still too much for her. It was all she could do when she noticed her friends coming to call the blaze back enough to keep them safe.
As soon as the threat of being burned alive was gone, the creature lunged at Liz again. By sheer luck, her legs caught the think and kept it at enough of a distance Liz could turn her head and shout without being eaten.
"Boss...?" It wasn't actually a question, but a demand. Liz stretched the arm that wasn't bitten to hell out above her head before calling out. "Get me the hell out of here before this thing eats me!"
no subject
She was aware of the fact that she could still hear. The powers that the creature had didn't affect that. At least, she didn't think so. She could hear Jack yelling for them clearly and she wished she could look over at him. Next time, they need better research before they go hunting. Some times things don't run smoothly.
Gwen tried to look over at Jack, blinking her eyes. And did so. Frowning, Gwen tried to sit up. This time, she found that she had no problem sitting up or moving. Her brow furrowed as she tried to figure out what was going on, scanning the area around her. Then she saw it. Off to her side, the monster had spotted the enigma that was Jack and was distracted by him. It reminded her of Abaddon.
She didn't think twice. Running over to Liz, Gwen bent down and grabbed the large gun that Liz had been wanting to shoot. Hauling it up to her shoulder, she turned and looked for Alisa. Making eye contact with her, she motioned her shoulder towards the creature. Her gunshots hadn't made a dent, but maybe if they both fired larger weapons at the creature at the same time. It was worth a shot at least.
no subject
She frowns at the rate of time its taking her finger to find the trigger, it's pissing her off more that it is now going to look at Jack like dinner. "Oh, no you don't, you horrible tentacle monster with piss poor depth perception.." She grates under her breath and she gets wind of word from Gwen to put a little girl power into it.
Go team girls! Maybe she can try to get her Vortex Manipulator to do the Power Rangers jingle. It'd fit even if she wouldn't get a robot dinosaur to come to her aide.
The finger and trigger finally connect, she slowly presses it and hopefully the rocket that comes out finds the creature. The heat from the back end is felt as it passes by. "I bet this is one of those, 'fuck me' moments..."
no subject
He slowly goes to grab the Webley from his holster and he tries to do what he can to fight it off. It comes in to take a bite out of him and it manages to get hold of his leg. "OW! Not so rough there big guy!" He's going to hate having to let that heal, he recalls the two headed dragon that did the same and he hears another chomp. "Seriously, I'm not your type..."
"Hey! Alisa and Gwen? Mind a little help?" Sure Jack can't die and he heals, but it hurts a lot to get mauled on. The creature is interested in both Jack, Liz and also the other immortal in the area. It stops nomming on Jack to turn it's attention on Alisa when it's jumped by the two girls.
no subject
Now's the tricky part. She knows that Gwen and Alisa won't hesitate to blow this thing to kingdom come, and she know that she's not explosion proof unless she's the cause of it. Liz see's the whatever the fuck this is snacking on her boss's leg and grumbles under her break before launching a fireball at the things face...eye...whatever. "Hey, I wanna go one mission without getting my boss killed, OK!?"
Liz reaches out her good hand and pulls on the back of Jack's coat as hard as she can. Maybe they can avoid that rocket Alisa just shot...maybe
no subject
"Working on it Jack," she calls out to him. Get out of the way, she thinks as she pulls the trigger. The boom echoes around her and the kickback makes Gwen shudder. The gun is nothing to Gwen compared to seeing Liz launch a fireball at the creature. While she thought the creature flamed Liz before, now she's not so sure.
Gwen looks over to Alisa, shooting her a large smile. "Yeah, it is one of those moments. And no dinner first," she teased. She looks back at the creature, watching him with a morbid curiosity that she only could have learned from Torchwood. Everyone else would run, but not them. They stay and make sure the thing is dead. It's what they do.
"Is there one mission that goes off without Jack dying? I don't remember that many of them?"
no subject
There's a look of relief that neither Jack or Liz got caught in the gunfire and she tries to turn her head as bits of monster rain on her. There's that look of ugh but it's replaced with a smile. "Now this is just the icing on the cake."
She wanders over towards Jack and Liz with the rocket launcher still in her hand. She's going to help Jack to his feet. "No, he's getting better at not throwing him at things.." She smiles over at Gwen as she goes to place her arm under Jack and she drops the rocket launcher at her feet. "Kind of better.." It doesn't matter to her if Jack's bloodied or covered in alien goo, helping him out on his feet is important.
The thing is dead, it's well dead and full of sticky goo..
She looks at Liz's arm and she frowns. "I'd ask if you're okay, but I know the answer to it."
no subject
He's hit with a nice spray of alien parts and gunk. "Oh, how I love you guys when you wear your work home." Jack tries to get up on his knee but he's unaware how much damage was done and he looks at Liz. "Why don't you let me take a look at that?" Jack asks Liz and he's going to put her before himself.
"I'll be okay." He tells Alisa when she goes to help him when he goes down on one knee. "Really, it's fine.." He never got over that part when he sometimes can use help from the others. Still Alisa isn't about to let go of him. He hefts his blood soaked pant leg to expose the nasty bite that's got bit of bone, muscle and sinew exploded to the world. It hurts like hell but Jack does his best to push it back.
He can't help but to laugh at Gwen and he looks over at her. "The new look? It's very you." He uses a free finger to swipe a bit of the goo from Alisa's cheek. He goes to look at it and he mmmms. He takes a taste of it. "Fabulous. It would make a great topping on a hot dog."
no subject
Liz knew could count on the others to take the thing out, but she still feels stupid for going to stir up trouble. She was trying to capture, for lack of a better way to put it, herself again.
Liz sits up, wincing in pain before she looks over frowns at her arm. "See, this shit's familiar, too." She won't be wearing any tank tops anytime soon. "Son of a..." Liz holds her arm out to Jack, knowing it's better to have him look than just leave it to get all nasty and clotty and gross.
"We didn't bring along something to make this nice little flesh wound go away all quick like, did we?" Liz pokes at her arm then cries out in pain. It's anything but a 'little flesh wound'. This is going to be fun to explain to Owen. "House isn't working today, is he?" Liz is hopeful, Oh so hopeful to avoid Owen seeing this wound until she comes up with a really good excuse for why she was so reckless.
"Oh..I am gonna puke," Liz winces when Jack licked the slime from the creature. "It's not jelly donut goo, boss. It's...goo goo!"
no subject
Reaching up, she wiped some goo out of her hair, frowning as she did so. She was sticky, and not in the good way. Rhys was going to have a good laugh when she got home. Looking up at Jack, she stuck her tongue playfully out at him. "Better than you look. And no, this would not be a good topping on anything." She had no desire to eat alien anything. Ever.
Her smile faded a little when she looked to Liz. The poor girl's arm looked really bad. She wished she had more medical talent when she saw that. Liz clearly didn't want Owen to see her like this. "Liz, do you need some help?" She inched closer, offering Liz her arm for support. "Please, don't puke on me though." Gwen had a few questions regarding Liz and the fire, but she'd save them for later.
no subject
She reaches for the goo that's on her chest and she pulls the sticky and weird feeling goo. It was all good until Jack helps himself to the stuff on her cheek. "Ugh! Seriously, it's not a romantic thing. This is why we keep Jack away from making food." Alisa's time traveling through time and space meant eating 'alien' food along with what would be alien.
Alisa's worried about Liz and she really got chewed up pretty good but then there's Jack when he hefts up his pant leg. She knows it hurts him but he's good at hiding it from everyone. "You're not okay to walk on your own or drive." She scolds him a little bit but the smile is there on his face. "I'll get you a box of Krispy Kreme donuts to make it feel better. Make it three boxes."
no subject
He's not upset that Liz went out there and he goes to think for a bit. "I left the Laser Saw in the TARDIS." Jack's going to grab another bit of goo from Alisa to nom on and he listens to Liz. "It tastes good. It's got a nice tarty taste and it feels amazing on your tongue." He offers it to Alisa with a smile on his face as wide as it could be despite the pain his leg is in. "You've eaten alien meat before so this is nothing new."
When he's turned down he offers it to Liz and he waggles his eyebrow. "Trust me. If you let your Jack do any cooking..." Then there's a pout and he gives a look of horror. "Oh, I wouldn't dare stick any alien goo in anything I've touched. That's Owen's doing."
"House is back in New Jersey, so you're going to need to let Owen patch your arm up."
He looks between Alisa and Gwen, one is offering boxes of donuts and another chocolate cake. "I like where this is going. Come on let's get back to the HUB."
