"Stubborn ass male." Morrigan muttered, shaking her head before starting off again, at a slower pace to let him keep up. "Fine. But if ya pass out, I'm carryin' your dumb-ass outta here." She said, taking a slow breath to try and ease the build up of her fire. Slowly, it was becoming harder and harder to control in the face of danger.
"Cause' you care," Keith scoffed. He moved a little slower but a steady pace. He could see that Morrigan was also getting a bit tense, and wondered if she really did care, or if there was another reason.
"'Course I fuckin' care. You're an ass, but you're one o' the nicest actual cops I've ever met. I just hate ya." Morrigan shot back, sticking her tongue out at him. "Now c'mon, hurry up. We need outta here 'fore I-uh, 'fore we get caught."
"Honey, I'm a lot of things, and nice may be one of em'. Heck crazy is probably one of em', but I ain't stupid," Keith stated. "You need to get out of here before you self combust."
"Don' call me honey." Morrigan said, golden eyes flashing briefly. She did, though, look moments away from combusting, even if he had no way of knowing that that meant near literally. "An' don' tell me t' get outta here, 'cause I ain't gonna leave without ya."
Keith rolled his eyes. "I didn't say leave me, I just said you need to get out more than I do. I wasn't saying I wasn't gonna get out, geez. What do you think I am? Someone who just gives up on things? God, if I were someone like that I would have gone down a long time ago," he snapped. "And what are you gonna do if I call you honey? Pick up another charge? By this point honey, I would be willing to vouch for you in court. But you kill or hurt me and I won't."
Morrigan opened her mouth to snap back, but paused, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath. She took a half step closer to him, poking his chest as she opened her eyes again. Even her non metal hand, the one she’d poked him with, felt warm. Hot, even. “I am asking you, not to call me that. For the sake of making this work, for getting us out of here alive. Now. We’re getting out of here at the same goddamn time, because if any of us need to live more, it’s you. Somebody with something to live for.” The last sentence was muttered under her breath, that angry(and strangely…desperate) expression flickering into a sadder one for a moment.
Keith rolled his eyes again, but gave a half smile. "Lead the way then, miss supergirl," the familiar nickname slipping out before he caught himself. Hoping she wouldn't take notice of it he changed the topic slightly. "The longer we stay here arguing about it, the more likely we are to both die."
“Yeah. That’s fair. Just…don’t call me things like honey or sweetheart. All I’m askin’.” Morrigan muttered, motioning for him to continue following her as she started off again. “Wait. We can’-we can’t just ditch the ship.” She said suddenly, eyes widening as she looked around. “There’s-There’s a lotta bad people, yeah, but what about-“
Keith staggered again, this time due to the ship lurching and starting to move again. "What about what?" he asked catching his footing and looking at her. They had almost completely gotten away from the gas, so it wasn't effecting him nearly as much.
"The-the wolf. I highly doubt he can pilot an escape pod on his own, Monto." Morrigan said, brow furrowed in concern as she continued looking around. She looked less like she was going to explode now, though, which was a good thing for everyone involved. "We have to find him. He saved my life."
Keith bit his lip and glanced around. "There was a wolf?" He asked. "Okay, where did you last see it? We can start there and then try and convince it to come with if you really think we should."
"Back. Back where Henison showed up. Before you popped up out of nowhere, he disappeared." Morrigan said, the connection flying straight over her head. "Hendi-kle was threatening him." She chewed on her bottom lip worriedly, spinning around to look back the way they'd come. "Can't go that way. There should be another hallway that'll get us close, but there's a chance that one was gassed too."
"We need to get out of all the hallways and back out to the surface. That way we won't have to worry about being gassed. It won't do much good at the speed we're going now, so the worst that they would be able to do is shoot at us," Keith decided. He looked around at the area they were in. "I wasn't hardly ever on the transport ships, however, if I remember correctly there should be an exit down this hall and either to the right or the left. So keep an eye out."
Morrigan nodded, still worrying her bottom lip as she started off again, making sure Keith never fell too far behind. Occasionally, she would let out a couple sharp whistles, trying to see if she could gain the attention of the wolf, wherever it was. If he's still alive. She couldn't think like that. Not when she had so many things to focus on and worry about. "Up here, I think."
Keith chewed his lip as he followed. This was one situation he was hoping he might have been able to avoid, but it looked like he was going to have to face it anyways. Someone suddenly landed in between the two of them, a female, the one they'd seen earlier. She stood up straight and cracked her knuckles. "Red watc-" Keith was cut off as he was grabbed from behind by a very large man.
"Yes Red watch out," the woman laughed. "Because it looks like I found a couple rats on the ship."
