Gate Patrol (Open)

Fu curses as the gate opens, fear and elation pumping through his veins. He rolls with it, taking a step forward feeling his mantle roar outward. Dry desert heat pushes back the night. "This is what Summer needs." He says to Terra in an utterly dead voice full of anger. "Either stick close or go find a sovereign and let them know someone went in and we are chasing."

A foot plants his weight then Fu pushes off and starts running to the gate. The barest of a glance to see if Terra follows suit. Spartan's words echoing around his stone skull.

Irea watched as the gate opened, fervently wishing that the woman would run away from it screaming, but the Darkling knew that wouldn't happen. Her nails dug into bark as she clutched spasmodically at the tree she was peering around, watching hopelessly as the woman stepped into the gate. Then, like the echo of a roiling nightmare she saw Rook take off sprinting for the gate with Fu not far behind.

"No, no, nononono," she murmured, realizing that she would be helpless if she followed her friend and his companion into the hedge. Her purse was sitting on her bed at the Four Seasons, mace canister and dagger tucked safely and uselessly inside it. Yet, as every moment passed and as every "no" escaped through her lips, Rook and Fu got closer to the Gate and all the dangers that lay inside it. She rose from her crouch, muscles knotting with tension, eye's flicking back and forth wildly as she tried to reach a decision. Her heart throbbed and Rook sprang closer, the Gate growing smaller; she blinked and Fu leapt after; a bead of sweat fell from her brow and the Woman disappeared into the Hedge...

With a stifled cry Irea plunged from her dark resting place and tore after the Summer Courtiers. Once upon a time she'd let the Fae take a sister from her, but this time she wasn't going to let the Hedge take a friend.

"This" echoed inside her, it was something she could do. In a flash, Terra's phone was out and dialing.

The woman remains oblivious to the horde of charging changelings currently catapulting towards her. Rook takes off like a speeding bullet, heading towards the gate, arriving at the gate at the same time as Irea. Fu's instructions to Terra cost him precious seconds. He does not quite make it to the gate at the same time and is currently 16 feet away from the gate.

Rook's rigid metal fist touched the police badge in his pocket, and his lips pressed together in a thin line as he called on that reforged part of himself to come forwards. He felt the Wyrd warping him as rigid, metal armour locked in place around him, the same vivid steel as his hands. So hard that it would break bones to strike at it, the metal only made him resemble some sort of strange man-castle even more.

"Madam, I think you're probably better off not hanging around in here," he said quietly, but he was prepared to spring. Just not prepared to beat a potential innocent into the floor. Not until she'd proved herself otherwise, anyway. He made sure Rea was behind him.

The Darkling came to a trembling stop behind Rook, eyes wide and dull looking. She crossed her arms, stemming the ripple of tremors tracing through her, and stepped to the side so that she was at the Metalflesh's shoulder.

"It can be dangerous, gentile, won't you step out?" Rea uttered, pitching her voice low to keep it steady. The Moonborn shifted her weight to the balls of her feet, and thought of the small bit of Doom or the writhing Mind Killer that she could place on the woman if need be.

**Matt** · Aug 11th, 2011 02:37 PM

The woman turns around and looks at Rook then Irea. All is silent for a few moments as she observes them, her face showing the signs of a woman that was on the verge of a freak out. She takes two steps back, away from the changelings that had come to her rescue.

"Wha...wha...what are you?"

"People who weren't lucky enough to have someone show up and go 'Hey, idiot, don't walk into that horrible hole full of thorns'," Rook said, bluntly. "Listen, ma'am, you need to get out of here. This isn't a good place. You need to get out, go home, and forget this ever happened." He made sure he was in front of Rea still, shielding her with his metallic body. They couldn't afford to be in here for any particularly long period of time.

How long would it be before something was attracted by the woman?

**Irea Dimelo** · Aug 11th, 2011 11:42 PM

Rea nodded and, after glancing at Rook, stepped slowly towards the Woman, holding out a hand. "Come away, gentile, come away from this place. We make sure nothing passes through here, nothing more. It is not safe to dwell here, but only here. If you leave, you shall be free of all this."

If only the Woman would come out of the Gate, then they could also return to the shelter of the mundane.

Fu · Aug 11th, 2011 11:49 PM

Fu comes a halt inside the gate behind Rook, he places a hand on the man's shoulder. "Hold on there, making her run will only make her run one way. And we don't need that." He looks at Irea and nods his head slowly. Hopefully the nice talk would do its magic. Chasing a human through the Hedge would bring all sorts of bad attention.
