(LA Night)Battle Finale! (Post-'Armour')

[Jackson ''Doc'' Ellison]

"Let's make history," I said, moving to the Training Centre, being careful to avoid past selves in any form. "Why the hell didn't clock boy think of invisibility cloaks."

As they moved down the dark hall, I suddenly peeled away from the shadows and grabbed Doc's shoulder. Of course, he immediately attacked me and tried to judo-flip me. Expecting this, I immediately countered and tried to flip him back, but he countered back, trying to throw me off balance and trip me, but I moved with his motions and tried to pin him against the wall, but he spun the both of us around, leaving it entirely up to chance and whoever was more determined as to who would wind up on top.

And all of that happened in the amount of time it takes the eyelid to stay completely shut while blinking once.

When we slammed into the floor, ironically enough, we were side by side, neither one on top, so I figured now would be a good time to let them know who I was.

"Guys!" I snapped, then I shook him a little harder. "Doc! It's me! Joshua!"

"Wha--!" he shouted and stopped struggling. We both got to our feet.

"What the heck are you doing here?" he snapped.

"What the *HELL* are YOU doing here?" I shouted back at him.

"Well, uh, actually . . ." he stuttered a little bit, suddenly looking a little put on the spot.

"We talked about this!" I snapped at him, keeping my voice down. "Before even opening the portal! Everyone is supposed to be looking for the devices and then *after* that, fulfilling their rolls in history. According to what everyone's mentioned, that means only me, Mai, and Nicki who deals with the Charmed Ones with Paige! Now Past-Mai and the early survivors are here with the idiot Tucker. We're about to go back out for the battle where I get Slayer powers. I don't care *if* you were told by God, not Ate, *GOD* to come here right now for your destiny and to save the entire fucking universe. Get out of here. Now."

Then Doc did the one thing I never expected him to do. At least not to me. He swung at me, and hit me. Hard.

I rolled with the punch, as I had been trained, and instinctually knew to do and fell back a couple steps, but I stayed on my feet.

Turning back to him, rubbing where he hit me, I said to him, "I'm a Slayer now Doc. It'll take a lot more than that to knock me out."

He actually looked like he was winding up for another hit.

"Fine," I snapped, forestalling him. "I don't care what you do. Because I've got a lot more to worry about now than the loose ends. Maya trusts these people and I trust you."

I stepped closer and got up in his face. "Get those devices Doc. Not the ones we already have, just the ones we didn't before we came back. I don't care what you have to do, or what you do now, because I've got enough trouble making sure the Space/Time Continuum doesn't get blown out the end of a kazoo because somebody made one, tiny, insignificant change."

I turned and walked down the opposite end of the hall, but he stopped me for one second. I looked back at him and said, "We're going back out there in a few minutes. Tucker's run off again, and it'll be the battle where my Slayer powers kick in. Like I said Doc, I don't care what you have to do. Get those devices."

He let go of me, but I heard as I was rounding the corner, "So how come you didn't pack invisibility cloaks."

"Because I didn't think any of you were stupid enough to let yourselves get seen by past-selves when you know it didn't happen to you. Mai and I are safe. So is Paige. We know we meet with out past and future selves. The rest of you . . ." I stopped talking and went back in to help Maya.

"We're all gathered within blocks of each other, ya doof," I muttered, moving towards the museum. "Where's the chance we wouldn't run into past selves?"

[Maya]

((im totally lost as to what im meant to be doing!help!))
