1x1 with BarrenThin

[Selina]

She sits underneath the moss covered London bridge. What was once a beautiful landmark is now a ruin ridden with filth and trash. She takes a deep breath and closes her eyes as trickles of the now poisonous water tickle her toes. She gets lost in the sounds of the soft waves slithering across the bank. The smell of acid and mold fill the air evermore at each passing wave. Her mind is going back to a beautiful time when she could sit in these waters and build sand castles with the gritty mud. She starts to tap her fingers slightly to try and bring herself back to the unearthly world she lives in now...death, destruction, pain, there is no good in the world anymore.

Anastas rocked back on his heels as he examined her tracks. They were very recent. This woman had left a trail of blood across the country side. It was time he brought her tirade to an end. Surrounded by sand and ash, he knew she was close; the footprints would have been blown away long before if she wasn't. The gun at his waist bumped against his thigh as he walked. Soon, she came into view. Unfortunately for him, she came into view a few feet away as he came around the corner. Agonizingly slowly, for fear of being heard, he reached for his revolver.

X sighed calmly and wiped her hands together to get off the sand before standing again. She rolled her eyes at the sad truth and her heart became cold once more. She pushed herself up from the ground kicking herself at that moment for being so cold. As she turned she saw a man, a few inches taller than her and very muscular. Her eyes met his and she smiled calmly as she gathered herself. It was a passing glance and she quickly turned to go about her business in the other direction. She walked away slowly "that was awkward" she whispered to herself.

She started to move away, making him frown with confusion. He drew the revolver, the hammer clicking back. "Where do you think you're going?" He wondered what she thought as going on. Anastas jogged to catch up with her, pressing the revolver to her back. "You've hurt a lot of people." The question was, how to go about getting rid of her. Despite what people believed, this world still had law. It was just scarce. If he got caught here with a gun to her back... He was distracted, now.

X freezes in her strides and breathes slowly to calm her nerves. She's been in this position before. She knows the value of her head is a hefty bounty. She also knows the feeling of having to justify her actions. She puts her hands above her head slowly as to avoid further confrontation. She can hold him off once the gun is out of her back. For this moment, he has her. This man, who she can tell is Russian by his voice, is her captor for now. "I know" she whispers in false defeat. She has to play by his rules for now. "I never meant to hurt anyone good. I want to protect the innocent people." She pronounces trying to validate herself and her actions.
