Not Exactly A Good Day

[numbered_doctor]

It's been a while since she's been in the Bar. Between very long hours at work, and House running the team ragged, she hasn't even had time to think about Milliways, let alone come here.

Today is different, though. Milliways has usually refrained from pulling the young doctor in, since she had found a stable door, but now, she's stumbling in, almost unseeingly, and it takes her a moment to realize where she is.

Remy's certainly seen better days, hair a mess, red-rimmed eyes, and, oh yes, did we mention the blood? Though that's not exactly on her mind at the moment, as she's just noticed her lack of door and has turned to pound on the bare expanse of wall, leaving bloody prints as she hurls insults and generally screams at it.

Luckily for Rachel...she didn't care if her hair was messy! So she ignored swats at her own hair to keep messing up Remy's.

Plus she had a height advantage, what with sitting on the Bar and all.

[numbered_doctor]

Remy squawks. Dirty tactics it is!

There may just be fingers poking at ribs now.

[futures_of_ash]

Ah, yes, dirty dirty tactics! Tickling was a low blow!

...so was that thin shield of energy between Remy's fingers and Rachel's ribs.

And even more cheating, well, there was the feeling of phantom fingers along Remy's side. TEKE TICKLING!

[numbered_doctor]

Remy yelps and shrieks, instinctively trying to twist away from the fingers.

"Not fair!"

Yes, she noticed that shield.

[futures_of_ash]

And the invisible, unblockable fingers? She noticed those to right? Right?

Rachel chuckled and stuck her tongue out. What? It seemed like the proper response to Remy's outrage!

[numbered_doctor]

Remy's shrieking with laughter now, trying to squirm away from unblockable fingers.

"Cheat!"

Let's just see what scrambling for a higher perch will do. She's sure Rachel can handle it.

[futures_of_ash]

"And?" Rachel challenged with a grin. What was she going to do about it? Ah, scramble for higher ground?

Well, Rachel could deal by hopping up into the rafters!

[numbered_doctor]

There's another squawk as Rachel begins to levitate, and Remy clings all the tighter.

"Fuck!"

[futures_of_ash]

"Didn't think that one through did you?" Rachel chuckled, drifting close enough to the rafters that Remy could let go and sit on the wood.

[numbered_doctor]

She does just that, carefully easing herself onto the well worn length of wood.

"Okay. Right. Flying."

[futures_of_ash]

"Among other things." Rachel admitted easily. "I'm kind of a catch all for powers."

[numbered_doctor]

"Apparently so," she says, letting her feet dangle over the Bar.

"Nice view, though."

[futures_of_ash]

"It can be. Welcome to the area where the crime fighters hang out." She landed on one of the rafters and grinned, looking at the shadowy areas. "And ninjas."

[numbered_doctor]

"You lot get the best view, then."

Absently, she swings her legs, grinning.

"I always thought the flying bit of bring a superhero was pretty awesome."

[futures_of_ash]

"I guess." Most views had something to recommend them so she really didn't choose many as 'best'? Top of the tower of London was a good one though.

"For some. It takes getting used to, learning to move your body in ways most bipeds don't. Humans, people, they don't look up. They don't think about moving through a free fall environment."

[numbered_doctor]

"I'm sure it would be a lot of work, but doesn't make it any less awesome. One of those things that pays off."

Adrenaline junkie, much?

[futures_of_ash]

"Maybe, as long as you avoid jets. And geese." Rachel grinned and poked Remy's shoulder. "I'll take you flying sometime."

[numbered_doctor]

The young doctor absolutely beams at that, shining bright, if Rachel is looking.

"Promise?"

[futures_of_ash]

"Sure" It wasn't a big thing really.

[numbered_doctor]

The smile fades just a touch.

"Is it weird that I'm excited over it?"

[futures_of_ash]

"Not in the least. I run into people who really really like it sometimes." Mainly adrenaline junkies.

[numbered_doctor]

"I'm afraid I'm a bit of an adrenaline junkie. Fair warning that you'll probably get asked multiple times."

[futures_of_ash]

"Duly noted. If it gets to dangerous levels I'll cut you off." Simple as that right? Right!

[numbered_doctor]

A grin.

"It's not that bad, I don't think."

Says the recovering party girl.

[futures_of_ash]

"Sure, but often when losing one addiction..." she trailed off and flicked her fingers. Addictive personalities were addictive personalities? "Anyway...rafters. Sometimes you can find interesting things up here."
