coyote_walking: (Coyote tattoo)
[personal profile] coyote_walking
Viewers can see a pair of legs sticking out from under a partially constructed VW Bug. Occasionally, as Mercy struggles with a particularly recalcitrant part, someone might see her shirt ride up enough to expose the coyote tattoo low on her abdomen.

After a while there's a loud sound of something breaking off, the sound of a heavy wrench hitting flesh, and a flurry of mechanic's power words as Mercy pulls herself out from under the car, shaking her rapidly bruising hand.


Damn!

She moves out of frame for a moment, then returns to sit by the car, holding a bottle of ice cold water against her hand.

Guess that's a sign I need to take a break.

Her eyes drift up to the network device and she laughs as she reaches for it.

Oh geez. Of course it would have to be on. Nice, City.

And the video clicks off.

Ouch. That looks like it must have hurt. But the Bug looks impressive so far.

It sure stings!

But I've had worse.

Thanks. I'm still missing a ton of parts, but I have enough to work with for the moment.

It's good it's not one of the worse ones then.

Finding parts here must be pretty hard. I know a few people get them from the underground.

Yeah, especially since I can't heal quickly the way the werewolves do.

Kyle arranged for these. I'll have to figure out how to get more.

I can heal pretty quickly, it only took me a bit more than last weekend to get back normal.

Ask him again? Or I'm sure Thomas could figure out a way.

That's the one thing I do wish I had.

I suppose I could ask him, but he just got me Medea and I don't want to give him anything else he can kind of hold over me. You know, 'I'll do this for you if you stop seeing Thomas' or whatever.

Thomas... You think?

It comes in handy. Also makes drinking a lot more fun, heightened metabolism means it's really hard for me to get drunk.

He'd seriously do that? I'm sorry.

I'd guess he probably could if he could find them. I doubt the Underground would be dangerous for him, it isn't that bad for me. Or I know a guy, Remy, who might know where to get things.

I don't drink anymore. Maybe half a beer or half a glass of wine from time to time, but that's it. Not smart to get drunk when you're keeping secrets.

I don't know. But he said some things in a post that made me wonder. And just in general he does too much for me. I like to pull my own weight.

Remy, yeah, actually, I think he might have been the one Kyle hired to get this stuff.

I've probably drank too much lately, it's easy when you don't end up ridiculously drunk. I've never had the secret problem, I can still keep mine.

That must be a bit awkward. I hope that wasn't a reason he did that.

You could try asking Remy yourself sometime. Or if you can find someone that knows where to find them in the Underground I could go. I spend sometime down there.

Yeah, I try to keep myself alert as much as possible. if it was just me and my secrets that would be one thing, but it's not.

I don't know. He's a good guy and I love him dearly. I just don't get why he's so wigged out about Thomas.

Maybe I will. Gotta save up a bit more money first anyway.

I understand that. I have a lot of secrets in my head, the locations of safe houses, codes to get into Sanctuary, things like that are much more important than my own.

He has a reason to be cautious based just on what Thomas is, but not to refuse to acknowledge any other perspective but his own. But you can be cautious and still give someone a fair chance.

Being able to pay is a good thing.

I could kiss that and make it all better.

Absolutely.

Yes, I understand the caution. I'm cautious too. In face, Thomas and I did a little experiment and it turns out that in coyote form I'm one heck of a lot faster then he is, so if I get spooked... I change and bolt and he can't catch me. Not to mention that I'm pretty sure any of his mind powers won't work on coyotes. And not that I've noticed any of them anyway.

Yeah, I'm pretty independent. I like to pay my own way.

I just bet you could!

I honestly don't think he'd use them on you or any of his friends. I think he works hard to keep control. Which I understand. I lose control and someone ends up dead. A lot of my kind have ended up going bad or giving into the animal side. So I sort of get what a big deal it can be and how much constant questioning of if you can keep control can hurt.

Independence is a good thing for a woman to have. I don't get along great with other women for the most part, especially ones that just come off as wanting others to take care of them.

I don't think he would either. And I know he worries about losing control. He... he made me promise that if he was ever mortally wounded that I wouldn't come anywhere near him.

I don't actually have any close female friends. Being a mechanic doesn't really lend itself to that well and most of the female werewolves hate me.

Have a drink and an Advil and a snack and a quickie you will feel better in no time at all.

Drink, Advil, snack. No quickie, sorry.

It's a difficult thing to worry about. But the fact that he made you promise that shows that he works hard to keep his control and wouldn't want to hurt you.

I've never really gotten why so many females think it's weird for a female to be a mechanic. I only had one close female friend back home. Here I think I've seriously pissed off at least one female.

He's a really good guy. And I think... I think he cares about me a lot. And I like him a lot too.

Maybe because they're mostly men and it's a pretty dirty job? Can't have nice nails and smooth skin when you're a mechanic.

You are disappointing so many willing partners. Can you not hear their hearts breaking?

Date: Monday, August 31st, 2009 12:34 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] coyote-walking.livejournal.com
Right. That would be, um... you and... yes, I think that's it.

Confidence is sexy in a woman. You should try it on for size.

I'm a really great mechanic.

That better?

Christ, Mercy. You sure don't think much of me.
