Lydia and I are in the Oxygen Garden, and Stiles hasn't gotten back to me yet. He's probably sleeping over the announcement. Or maybe he's here and he hasn't found us yet. [ everyone's cram packed and if he's not with Isaac and Derek, then he'd have to be here. ]
[ sometimes you have to sacrifice the other things to be valiant. ]
I still don't have any strings for my bow. [ probably a good thing. ] And I've also learned not to go anywhere without my knives, sorry. [ but she's telling him they're on her person. ] I'll keep them under wraps unless we need them. Flashlights?
It might be nothing. If it's not then— you can fill in the blanks. With how cold it is, even if you don't want to let me, it's a bit of a possibility. Trust me.
Not that different from home in that way, is it? I'll tell her.
And he's fine. Completely fine minus him probably embarrassing himself in front of Alayne?
If it's not doesn't get to be an option. It's Stiles. [ actually, she's not okay with any of them ending up alone with the what if it's more than nothing? category. ] I do trust you. I'm asking you to do the same. I'm going to keep you warm. :)
Only because we care about you.
I saw. Guys are built for embarrassing themselves in front of pretty girls. He'll manage.
right now? no. i think he's cool with me talking to you in the event of the ship blowing up. also you can take iron man in a fight, i don't think he has the suit on board. ask him anyway.
You can but I might have to kill you for it. I'm going to be alone with one of them, I'd like to know which one of them wants me alive. [ but to be fair, Stiles is a trick pony in that mix, or at least he used to be. ]
What, avoiding quality advice? [ not that she's planning on hanging out in the gardens, anyway. ]
Some priorities are greater than others. [ unsettling but as long as Isaac's going to be alive, then he's not worried. ] I'll ask him for Christmas. Anything you want from Stark-Santa?
And Stiles being anything but fine isn't an option. Got it. If he comes down here, I'm sharing a blanket it with him, for the record. Body heat until you two get back with some blankets. And even then body heat still stands. :) [ Don't say it, Allison. Just don't. ]
I know. I just would like everyone to remember I am as capable as everyone else.
It was embarrassing. Think we should give him a gold star for trying?
Any one of you being the opposite of fine for the duration of this isn't an option. I won't let anyone die. [ Peter isn't really on that list and Derek has a foot on said list, even if she doesn't know how she feels about him. ] Are you instigating a huge cuddle pile? If that's what it takes to keep all of us alive, I'm not objecting.
I know. I know what you can do. It's what we can't do if anything happens to you. If I didn't have a reason to keep going... [ she stops that, she stops that right there. ] You'd be even more capable if you could kick ass. [ and that's a thinly veiled want to learn? ]
I think we should give him hell and then ask her if she's interested.
I follow advice when it's accurate and when I think I'm better off staying put. My talents could be put to better use on the go. [ while there's going to get to. ] I think we have that belief in common too.
I can't believe I'm the one who's saying this, but you can't actually prevent all of us from dying. And you know what, that applies to you too. I'm not letting any of you die either. [ Peter is the debatable one here, because she really doesn't have that much of a problem letting Peter die, but a part of her feels like anyone but her killing him takes away from what happened to her. it's complicated. ] I'm instigating a cuddle pile between him and I. If you and Isaac get back quick enough and want in, then you can join.
Don't. You don't get to talk like that Allison. I can't lose— losing any of you, but you especially, you don't want to know what that will do to me. [ because the one solid string that holds Lydia back from complete insanity and keeps her from making a single move against Peter is Allison's safety. Allison dies and all bets are off for her. ] That's implying I don't kick ass already. [ and that's a thinly veiled of course i do. ]
After we get out of this alive? Something tells me she's a little too distracted right now to bother.
