#She is Thunder and Lightning

[atangledfate]

(from sakuraandscales) Charmette to Kit She really should have asked her mom to give her his number sooner. But she had it now and that was what mattered, even if she was currently crouched behind some rubble while Adam handled those giant badniks. The bee HATED being useless right now...but she still had to test her new little defense method and those bots in particular may be a bit much. So...she chose to text her friend.

[Text] Kit? This you? It's Charmette.. I got your number from Mom. [Text] Ma and I are in your dimension for the whole weekend, I think I've managed to get close to your location or...where ever Surge is right now. [Text] But uh...my current chaperone and I are having a bit of a Death Crab delay. So if you hear a battle....that's probably us. Mind lending a hand?

The Fox hadn't been very social lately, in fact less so then normal. His obsession with drowning his Emotions rather then confront the truth was a powerful motivator. But that didn't make him callous or immune to there effects, as he had begun to realize that the drugs and hypnosis that Starline had used was starting to lose its effects. But he had no idea what narcotics Starline was injecting him with and any hope of finding out was lost when the bastard got buried under a mountain of steel.

He jumped when his burner phone went off, as it should have been impossible for anyone to track--- but seeing who messaged him it didn't shock him either. Charmette was resourceful and, her talent with software was probably unmatched. Funny enough that was something they had in common. He wasn't as skilled in mechanics as Tails was, but he was rather good with software, programming and data breaches. Perhaps intentionally so as it was a tad more useful to starline then building random devices. He also seemed to lack Tails innovation as he could enhance things but trying to build from scratch was alot harder.

" ... Surge... if you are not busy i require your assitance. Or rather Charmette does, it seems she's gotten herself in a pickle as they say... "

" and... why should i care? That girl has got to stop followin' us... she's gonna get hurt worse... "

" ... Because you get to bash a giant badnik... and i'm well aware how much you enjoy doing that..."

" NOW see you gotta lead with that shit Drippy... i am bored outta my mind over here! this is just what i need! "

Kit Sent the coordinates to Surge's phone and the Tenrec, gave a wistful Smile before she bolted across the old factory, and tore through the old bombed out city toward the big bot. Ripping and tearing through the old city like a bolt of lightning she came to a screeching halt overlooking the scene of the battle with her arms crossed!

" hah! look at that you losers can't even handle one lousy super badnik! come on do i gotta keep bailing you out honey pot! though i might be convinced to help if you ask real nice like! "

If your breasts flop in your face when you run without binding them, how large ARE they, Surge? That sounds like a problem only people with massive tits have to deal with...

" What? no... its about aerodynamics asshole! get moving at super sonic speeds! they go floppin' around its annoyin'! i wonder if sonic has this issue with his balls..."

[atangledfate]

The Tenrec despite the sudden object moving out in front of her managed to vault it like a pro gymnist! She skidding and turned trying to figure out who did it but finding nothing, she squinted and blitzed back down the track! Her reaction time and speed were off the charts after all!

The Fennec didn't seem to move at first as if he was thinking carefully about something. He seemed to wave off Kalak's offer as he picked up a few parts and started to fit them back together. His entire focus on his work rather then the people bothering him. His water pack extending out to grab several tools with his water tendrils as he tinkered with bits of the engine. He didn't seem offended, nor did he feel anger or rage toward the intrusion either. Even his speech was monotone as if he lacked emotion entirely.

" No... I do not require any assistance ..."

He paused giving Kalak a look over and a tilt of his head

" I'm assuming Surge said she did not care if she even bothered to stop and speak with you. My sentiment is the same... Your presence is neither required nor does it hinder our goals. Do as you wish... i have other more important tasks to see to... "

He seemed to brush them off though not in a rude manner. He never raised his voice, he never seemed upset he simply was focused on his work. What ever they wanted it was fine, he just needed to put this engine back together and finish his adjustments before the next race.

Tangle turned to Kalak with a shrug clearly she didn't expect much from Kit. He was so devoted to Surge, and nothing else. She'd just have to explain it to Kalak on the way back to let Lani know things were good on there end. Still she hoped it didn't put off Kalak from the two she knew they just had it rough and were still adjusting.

" Eh well that went better then i thought! you wanna get a bite before we head back? I am starved after my training routine! "

Kalak frowns at Surge's antics as they weren't too friendly in her opinion and Tangle seemed to agree. The wolf wished to give some choice words to the tenrec, though the lemur didn't seem to want to pus hit. That said, a small wave of her hand with her magic would make a random obstacle move right into Surge's path as they walked away to leave her no time to dodge. She may have a hold on her anger, though didn't mean she couldn't be a tad petty.

Kalak would follow Tangle to the garage, seeing the very small fennec in there. They were about the size of Queen Kit which is funny seeing as Surge seems to call him Kit as well. "Oh, I'm sorry for bothering you. Lanolin just wants everyone's okay before I may join the team to help out. At least as a float from what Director Jewel said." The wolf would be around for a bit at the start.

"Though do you need help moving anything. I know I seem on the skinny side, though I'm pretty strong. Well, as strong as the average wolf is anyway." Kalak doubts she could match Lady Tala's top guard as they each had Lucky Stars of their own that made them pretty strong. The wolf was honestly glad to see someone with water on the team should she start getting heated.

Stealing her Thunder (dp x dc)

Sam really hadn't meant for the night to derail so much. She hadn't even meant to be out tonight, this was all Paulina's fault.

"This is the worst senior trip ever," mumbled Paulina from where she was sitting with her back against the wall, next to Star and Sam. Despite having been essentially kidnapped, she looked just as beautiful and perfect and put-together as she had when she'd come down from her hotel room. Oh, how Sam hated her.

"Maybe if you hadn't snuck into a club while underaged-" Sam hissed to her.

Paulina's shimmering green eyes flashed. "Oh I'm sorry, Susie Nobody, why were you in the club, then?"

"Trying to prevent something like this, you dimwitted, spoiled little princess!"

Paulina's shiny lips opened again to say something equally as inane, and Sam was gearing up to retort when Star elbowed her friend.

"Guys, stop!" Star whisper-shouted. "This is not the time to flirt."

"We're not flirting!" Both girls exclaimed at the same time.

They immediately shut their mouth as they realized they had been much too loud but by then it was too late. With an ominous creak the door to their temporary holding cell was pushed open, and a blond woman walked in as if she owned the place.

"Now, now, girls," she said as she strode towards the three bound girl. "It's not very polite to make a ruckus in someone's home."

Sam couldn't help her snort. The woman raised an eyebrow and Sam smirked.

"That is one ugly ass home," she said as she made a show of looking around the bare cement floor, dirty walls and heavy metal door.

"As much as I hate to agree with Loserville over there, she's right" Paulina sneered, somehow the expression making her look just as attractive as she always was. "This is the ugliest place I've ever been held hostage."

"Maybe if you added a skylight or like, a few prints-" Star added kind-heartedly.

"Enough," the woman said, though her smile had vanished. "I don't have time for this."

Then in just a few strides, she was face to face with Sam. She raised a hand just in front of the girl's face and gave her a smirk as her long silver nails started to lengthen more and more under their eyes.

"That is some free edge," Star mumbled, as her eyes widened.

"I have this fun ability," the woman ignored the blond girl, "where my blood," she looked at her ever elongating nails, "lets me bestow gifts on people."

"Yeah," Sam dragged out as the weird silvery trails started approaching her face. "Not interested."

"I don't even ask much in exchange," the woman said, as she leaned towards the goth teen. "Just a little obedience."

Sam was now struggling in earnest, doing her best to lean back in the restrained space, only just avoiding the weird silver things. "Get away!"

"Get your hands off her, you bottle blond bitch-" she heard Paulina's voice spit out when there was a large boom and a portion of the wall blew open.

The woman was blown back, the silver nails retreating back into herself as she turned to face the newly made hole. And from the hole walked in a woman dressed in a yellow and black reinforced suit.

"Step away from the children, Looker," the new arrival said.

"Thunder," their kidnapper answered with a sneer and that was all that was said before the newly-dubbed-Thunder descended on the woman with a kick, that was evaded.

Not so easily evaded however, was Thunder's punch to the kidnapper's solar plexus that sent her crashing right into the metal door, and falling through the half-opened doorway.

The black-and-yellow-decked woman turned towards the bound teens, and kneeling next to Sam, she ripped apart the girls' restraints as if they were spider's web

"You girls ok?" she said, looking into Sam's eyes.

And here, for the first time in her life, Sam found herself tongue tied. Feeling her cheeks grow warm, she quickly looked down before opening and closing her mouth a few times, until finally-

"A-okay," Sam squeaked out before immediately wishing the ground would swallow her up. A-okay?? Could she be anymore lame?

But Thunder only chuckled and Sam chanced a look up to see the woman smiling at her, and her lips pulled up, feeling shyer than ever.

"We're fine," Paulina's sharp voice cut through, "no thanks to you." Sam turned to see her lips were pulled back in a sneer.

"Paulie, she literally just saved our lives," Star said as she rolled her eyes, while massaging her wrists.

"Yeah, why don't you try being a little grateful?" Sam bit out.

Paulina just sniffed as she crossed her arms and lifted her nose higher. "I'll show you grateful," she mumbled under her breath.

"Ugh," Sam let out. When she turned back towards the hero(?) was looking from Paulina to Sam with a weird little smile on her face.

"What?" Paulina barked, having obviously also noticed it.

"Nothing," Thunder said, the smile still in place, as she got to her feet. "I'm glad you girls are alright. I have to go, but the police should be here soon ok? Just stay in here and you'll be safe"

Sam nodded and she could hear the other two make noises of assent, though Paulina's sounded more like a scoff than anything else. Thunder then clapped her hands together and the wall opposite to them crumbled down. With one last wave, she was off.

Sam watched her go with wide eyes as she heard Paulina grumble.

"What a poser."

[atangledfate]

Surge didn't Miss a beat as she landed and stuck on the wall like a magnet. Her eyes flashed with electricity as her body was brimming with energy. She was pissed, not because Charmette was attacked, oh that upset her no doubt. But they chose to ignore her, treat her like a nobody and she wanted that fat bitch to remember her mistake. She didn't hesitate not for a second as she attacked Metal with a furious frenzy! Spin dashing into the chest area! despite the burns it didn't seem to slow her down! She fought with reckless abandon! because unlike sonic she knew she'd heal---so why did she even care if she got hurt!

Her quills ripped into the steel before she uncurled her body and landed directly on top of Metal! Laughing like a mad woman as she grabbed onto it's skull! her flesh searing! but it was like she didn't care anymore! Maybe she never did! that recklessness is what made her so dangerous!

" GO TO HELL AND ROT YOU PILE OF SCRAP! "

She let loose a wild surge of electrical energy! so bright that the entire base was lit bright by a violent bolt of electricity that soared into the sky like a bolt of lightning! If Metal exploded on her she didn't care she was confident she could survive it even if she was out of action for a couple of hours!

Kit meanwhile as trying to use his medical kit to patch up Charmette. He was confident Surge in her current state would wipe the floor with any Metal Sonic. Really he had to pray that was true! He didn't know enough about insect mobian anatomy to really know how bad it was, he knew they were more durable. Yet feeling that ring in his hand, made him pause as he rolled the ring over. He had no idea how it worked, but Charmette only threw it to activate right? He quickly rationalized that it was all mental. A Though, a Place, a focused idea--- it sounded simple but he was worried he'd mess it up.

He vaguely recalled Espia, they had never directly met which maybe made this harder. But with an idea in his head and a name--- He tossed the ring out and prayed it would work...

Surge's sudden attack was enough to force Metal Velocity to drop the young bee in order to avoid the metal ring shot at her. While Metals were famously faster than any version of Sonic... the machines weren't faster than the tenrec so Metal was struck hard by the second blow and raked her claws through a metal floor in order to stop herself from going too far. Surge wasn't the only one who weaponized electricity however... this older model Metal still had the Overdrive frunction. An ability to super heat her body and charge after the tenrec, oh she'd get battered sure...but any contact with Metal was going to leave a serious burn. Whatever retort Iva had to both Surge's and Kit's actions was silenced when Kit smashed her communication screens. Effectively silencing the mad doctor for now... No one wanted to hear Iva's screeching anyway...

Charmette herself could only whimper softly as she laid on the ground, trying to process through the pain her body was in. Metal had slashed her several times with its claws, leaving deep gashes in the tiny bee's body. Her wing was tattered and although that was the greatest bundle of nerves for her and thus caused unimaginable pain...it didn't bleed. But Kit's assistance was more than welcome... The young bee already felt dizzy, she didn't have much to begin with in her tiny body. She didn't have a lot of time...

"Th-Thank you, Kit..." She forced herself to try and get up... to try and get out of there. But it was no good, her mind was spinning from the pain and blood loss.

Fine. There was one thing she could do... she reached in her pocket and pulled out her warp ring to hand it to Kit. She didn't have the ability nor the strength to use it right now. Getting out of this place on their own would take too long. She was in no state to try talking more nor to get up and move on her own... Kit had seen her use the warp ring a few times by now, she could only hope that he knew how to use it... They HAD to leave.

<3 Surge

(from sakuraandscales)

" ... I think i have a thing for Pink hedgehogs... not just amy either though, yea she's hot--- but that adam guy to! I dunno why...and i ain't about to say shit to any of them! "

She fumes! she hates that she doesn't understand why! it just bothers the fuck out of her!

" ... fuck, i hate myself right now! if it ain't the blue bitch makin' me feel shit i dun wanna feel its that pink dork... "

[atangledesire]

" Are you gonna hand me my towel or stare at my ass... "

[atangledfate]

She didn't understand why she was so angry with herself? Lanolin should be angry with her shouldn't she? She was the one that tricked everyone, she knew all about Duo the entire time. There was this sense of irritation at Lanolin not blaming her. That's what she expected wasn't it? For all of them to hate her, to push her away or yell at her. The demand to know why and maybe she felt a little guilty about it.

For once in her life she almost felt like a hero, but then like always she fell crashing down to earth. Reality was cruel and vicious monster and she knew deep down she couldn't exist as anything else.

" ... A Failure? Is that what this is about? Chaos you hero types are so damn fragile... i think the real question yer askin' is--- how can you forgive yourself. Well answer is you either pick yer fluffy ass up and keep throwin' punches... or you lay down an let the world forget you... frankly you never seemed the lay down and give up type ..."

Surge admitted as her eyes were a bit softer as she was mulling so much over in her head.

" If anything--- This is Pinkies fault... she wanted to run off and play hero, so she picks the first idiot to walk in the door. Tch, what did she expect to happen? She even let me in... an i clearly hate all of you ... "

" A bunch of nobodies leading nobodies... Honestly...shocked ya all' made it this far. But that's the thing ain't it? you did make it this far... an i got more respect for that then i will ever have for sonic or his two tailed dork... "

she held her hand out to Lanolin with none of her usual malice

" So... what's gonna be... stand an fight or... should i get you a pink of ice cream..."

Lanolin glanced back at Surge as she suddenly made her way out into the clearing – she didn’t know what the hell was happening – how the tenrec had managed to find her but in the state that she was in she was already finding herself realising that she must look like a pathetic leader, hero, anything right now…

“I…I’m not! I have something that I’m doing to ensure that the Diamond Cutters is kept alive, I’m going to be rebuilding Emeraldville but…”

She paused, she knew that even despite that – there was this gaping feeling in her soul that she would just be forgotten about. The people that she thought were her friends that she had betrayed the trust of would simply leave her and never come back.

“Even with my apology, I can’t help but feel something…”

She wasn't sure if it was anger at someone like Whisper for not telling her anything about Duo when she tried to attack him in broad daylight, whether she was upset at Tangle for keeping Sonic's identity as the Phantom Rider a secret...

Or maybe all of it just came at the fact that no one seemed to stick up for her...

"How the fuck can any of them look at me as anything less than a failure for this?"

Sketch concept that might become a fully rendered piece

(Also sorry quality is crap)

[atangledfate]

Honestly she couldn't imagine how busy the reaper got, and her brain could never wrap around what she did. Spirits, magic, and all that jazz was an unknown to surge and, the most she knew came from Bapho herself. She couldn't always understand it, but she trusted her and knew she came around as often as she could. Plus with her own slow aging it wasn't like she'd disappear one day entirely. She was in it for the long haul after all.

" Ah yea... Avalice has really juiced me up. Dunno really why--- Kit thinks its that weird Stone thing everyone talks about. Something about... it blew up and is a weird ring around the planet now. But since it provides power to the planet, it like super charges me to... i'm faster then i've ever been, but kits worried i'm absorbing to much so i've been running it off to be safe. "

It was a strange world Avalice, but it was her new home. She was settled in now, and even had a job as a delivery girl of all things. But seemed to work out well, and it was a good excuse to see there world. Though she wished Carol was less busy but that was life right? It was better then back on mobius that was for sure.

" You can always bug kit he has me on speed dial--- but anyway i kinda owe you this "

She reached over and pulled the other girl against her and leaned her head against Baphomets. Well it had been awhile, and they were dating right? this felt ok... right? this still still felt so strange for her, but she was learning.

" Wanna get some caramel apples? its like a big treat right now for this Halloween thing... "

It... Certainly has been a while, hasn't it? Time just seems to blur together at points, and obligations and the like just seem to get swept up in it all. Which is a crying shame, because of just how important everyone is to her. Why must life get in the way? As Death, one would think that wouldn't be the case...

"Busy? Yeah. Between tending to the graves of the lost and hunting down rogue spirits, I've been all over the place. And yet, nowhere at the same time."

Some days, she almost counts herself amongst them, but the thought of coming home eventually, to see the smiling faces of her friends welcoming her home always kept her going.

A shrug followed as she states, "I'm just glad I was able to catch you. I may be fast, but you always seem to be getting faster by the day."

✔️(Surge about Adam) from sakuraandscales

She would never admit it but she keeps imagining Adam climbing out of the shower, and leaning against the wall all sexy like! Sure it was just a physical attraction but the thought keeps rolling around in her head! hot, wet and sexy and---

" Nope that does it imma have to drown him ... for my own good! "

[atangledesire]

Hc: surge has definitely fucked about half the women of the resistance, but has bottomed/subbed more times than she's like to admit

" if you think i bottom yer fuckin' crazy... and no i dun fuck those losers! "
