"And Lolita has invisibilty. Your point? You're not immortal, or undefeatable, you're not experienced enough, because I'm not either, but at least I had some formal training!"

“I. Am. Fast. By default. He cannot catch me. I can carry Lolita. It’ll work out, and we won’t be depositing the thing he wants most on his doorstep.”

Piper took a deep breath, trying to keep her voice steady, failing spectacularly. "YOU THINK I HAVEN'T TRIED THAT BEFORE?! YOU THINK I HAVEN'T LOST SOMEONE BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE 'FAST ENOUGH' TO GET AWAY?!!?!" She was on her feet now. "YOU THINK, THAT I HAVEN'T LOST ENOUGH ALREADY THAT IT'S OKAY FOR YOU TO JUST GO AND 'FLASH' YOUR WAY THROUGH EVERY PROBLEM??!" Paper's voice broke. "You think, that I haven't been stupid enough to let someone I loved do that before and die? Do you know how that feels? To keep making the same mistake, over and over again, thinking that maybe, just maybe, it won't happen this time?"

“Actually,” Pietro muttered, not phased. “I do. And have those people you were referring to… have they got superspeed? I refuse to give you up that easily. He is waiting for what you insist upon doing to happen.”

"Pietro you're not the only Speedster in the world. Pietro listen to me. I. DON'T. CARE. That you think you can do this. You. CAN'T. Not on your own. And I'm not giving myself up! Did you even think that maybe, just maybe I've planned for situations like this?" Piper was getting extremely frustrated.

Deiniol kicked her in the stomach, sending her flying back, “I failed to kill you before, I won’t fail again.”

Wren hit the ground hard. It took her a couple moments to push herself up again.

"Pietro you're not the only Speedster in the world. Pietro listen to me. I. DON'T. CARE. That you think you can do this. You. CAN'T. Not on your own. And I'm not giving myself up! Did you even think that maybe, just maybe I've planned for situations like this?" Piper was getting extremely frustrated.

“Maybe you have planned. But you can’t ‘plan’ for madmen.”

Wren's features were sharp. "Go ahead. Hit me again. I dare you."

He shrugged, “Okay.” He kicked her hard in the stomach and sent her flying

Wren screamed and got the ground roughly again. She tumbled over and lver, and when she stopped, she did not get up.

Deiniol smirked and walked over to Wren

(… is she dead? :o

Is iT A TRAP? :O)

Wren coughed painfully. She could hear Deiniol's footsteps coming and tried to force herself up.

Piper rolled her eyes once more then took off towards her destination, and, it only being about twenty feet away, she got there easily. She had another plan, but, seeing as Wren looked to be almost dead, she shouted, "HEY! YOU ANY ME YOU MANIC?! COME GET ME!" She yelled, holding her arms out, making finger guns and pointing them straight out to opposite sides of the street, a common challenge position.
I must be an idiot for challenging him…but I don't care. What happens happens.

Wren saw Piper and all vague thoughts melted away. "No!" she screamed.

Deiniol turned around and clasped his hands together, “Piper! What a lovely surprise. You know, Lolita what’s been wanting to see you, if you didn’t come out I would have killed her.”

Wren launched herself at Deiniol while his back was turned to her. She tackled him down onto the ground and jerked him up by his collar. "Where is Lolita?"

Deiniol laughed and spat in her face, “You won’t find her.” He said, kneeing her in the stomach and pushing her off him.

Piper clenched her jaw and leaped up, grabbing a lamppost and pushing herself up, using the momentum to leap on top of it and take out a gun, aiming it at Deiniol.

Wren felt like the force of one more impact would literally break her apart. She wiped at her face where Deiniol has spat and stood up again. She hadn't seen Piper move to the top of the lamppost.

Deiniol laughed, “Go ahead, shot me. But then I can assure you Lolita will die. My men have orders to turn her cell on if I’m not back within another hour, and if I’m dead she’ll definitely die,” He half turned so he could see them both, “If you come with me Piper, I’ll let her go, you as well as soon as I have what I need.”

Piper clenched her jaw, reluctantly lowering her gun. "If I give you what you want, you'll spare them?"

“Possibly.” He shrugged and put his hands in his pockets.

Piper shook her head. "If I give you exactly what you need, you are going to let them go, and I'm going to get them back alive and well."
