[socloverit]

[She's about to shout something back up to Judar because she has something vaguely resembling a plan for once in her life, even as she's trying to back away, but—

but the vision comes and her expression had already been twisting further into a snarl but this time all at once it drops, dead and empty grief again and the Queen was right, wasn't she, that Clover is always retreating into herself and never helping because she just lets the barrier take the hit without thinking to get out of the way and oh, she thinks, oh shit.

He's too close and she's shaking and only now regaining her balance but if she's going to have to take another hit, she's slicing at him with the scythe again when he comes, trying to cut off another tentacle or laser-cut right through an oncoming blade or something to lessen the blow; she hasn't thought the move through much further than fucking do something you useless half-pint.]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[she hits, but while it's enough to wound him-- visibly, to an amount where he's not just flinching or growing angry but screaming in some kind of agony-- it does not cut through his flesh enough to make him armless.

i mean. harmless. coughs.

he still manages to slice her across the stomach, once, twice, thrice-- using his tentacles where his arm...thing... hurts, instead using that to grab at the scythe and wrench it out of her hands. he's not aiming to kill, it looks like. he's aiming to make her suffer.]

Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to give you that thing?

[socloverit]

[well it's fucking WORKING

there's a second where she's almost something like smugly satisfied to hear that screaming when she can separate the voice from being Adrien's, knowing it's not him but it's that thing, and it's gone when he hits her, again and again and again, and even though she shrieks as she stumbles back and hits the ground, her expression doesn't look more pained than it does when the scythe gets torn from her.

But having hurt the creature puts fire back in her, even as she's putting her arm over her stomach, even seeing Judar down and panicking for his safety before she's even had the realization that it means there won't be another barrier for her, doomed here.]

Who thought it was a good idea to put you in charge? [Okay, that was pretty weak, but there's vicious conviction behind it despite how her wounds choke her voice. She'll bait him, then, give the rest of them time, keep him off of the more competent fighters and off of her friend; she's heard the rest of the conversations and she's finding buttons to push—] At least my friends had something to leave behind, and what—what happened to everyone you brought with you, huh? Dead and gone like nothing.

[If he's going to take his time, make her suffer, it will keep him off the others, off her friend, and that's something, it's enough.]

[douchemag]

[well zia REFUSES TO FUCKING KILL ME so

Judar's down, nearly out, clearly hanging on to consciousness by a thread - but goddammit, a gaping stab wound has nothing when it runs up against pure spite. He's laughing darkly even as he chokes up a mouthful of blood.]

Not much of a king...if you're so weak you need all your subjects...to die for you. Pathetic.

[He doesn't have any strength left for any complicated spells, or even flight, but a barrier will shimmer around Clover again nonetheless. Finish it up fast though, because he is not going to be able to hold it for long.]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

You don't talk about them. None of you deserve to talk about them. We were all willing to die for our cause. [and then, lower, darker, bringing his face closer to hers and grinning:] What did your friends die for? You? What a boon to the world that was.

[but before he gets to stab her, Judar talks shit and barriers her again and it bounces off uselessly. he gives the world's most annoyed sigh]

Seriously?

[socloverit]

[It should scare her, but there isn't much that does anymore; if this will kill her then she's ready, if it's going to hurt then it will buy the others more time and she's ready. She lets him talk, snarling further, rage and pain but no fear at all because there's no worst-case scenario left for her anymore—and while he's all up in her business like this, she makes the grossest hacking noise and spits directly into his face.

She's about ready for that stab to kill her, and that rage dissipates into shock all at once when it reflects off the barrier instead. Judar—he's still moving but he's hurt, she has to do something, she can't waste this. Shock and gratitude and grief and concern and it's gone when she turns back to the alien, scowling, unafraid.]

He's right. Judar's right. And you don't deserve to talk about me, much less my brother—much less any of them. [Her expression twists against how much it hurts to move as she starts to stand, unsteady and uncertain, arm over her wound and knees buckling as she tries; if she's quick, she can get out of here and let Jason and Luke and Grell into the fray before the barrier dissipates. It's holding her scythe still and she's stupid, but not so stupid as to dive for it like this. She totally can't play keepaway with an alien.] No-nothing to be afraid of except...except myself, right? [The Queen had said that about her, she remembers, and She was right about that, too.] F-five foot nothing and unarmed and staring an ugly sword monster in the face and I'm the most I have to be afraid of. So what does that make you bitches?

[douchemag]

[Judar's panting harshly, one hand pressed hard against his stab wound - less to stem the bleeding, and more to use the pain to keep him conscious. Added to the stlil-healing bullet wound that likely just got ripped open again, and this is definitely more blood loss and pain and exhaustion that he's equipped to handle as someone who's rarely ever injured in fights - but he's very, very aware that the second he passes out, Clover is almost definitely going to die and he'll likely follow in short succession.

So he snarls through his teeth and pushes back the darkness enroaching on the edges of his vision, grinding his palm against his wound until white spots of pain flashes in front of his eyes.]

Talk less and move!

[You know it's bad when Judar's telling someone to snark less, ah...]

[erythristic]

[there's not much she can do at this distance - she won't make it if she runs - other than something thought up in a single second that probably won't even work. but if they do nothing, Clover's as good as dead.

which is why, from a different side, half of that door Grell brought in is now being thrown back at the alien. it probably won't do anything other than give Clover a few seconds of time to use, but it's a distraction whether it connects or not. enough time for something to happen.

that said, she's not staying in the same location after she throws it, she's racing to a different one.]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[at first he doesn't answer clover-- only trying to burst her stupid bubble barrier with swipes and stabs, because he has no idea what she's referencing when she talks about only having to be afraid of herself. he might be the Hivemind, but even he wasn't privy to his Queen's fun time conversations with everyone.

then even if he wanted to he is distracted by that stupid door again, and he dodges it by moving away this time. he still has Clover's scythe, but maybe if she books it now...]

I've had about enough out of you and your interference, Reaper.

[Grell is too far for him to bother, and he's had a bias against Clover since she was involved in Elizabeth's showdown, so that distraction only lasts a few seconds. better make them count.]
