I was frowning, "Cordy?" I asked, "As in, Cordelia?"

"Are dye always like dis, chere?" Des asked. Everyone turned to the previously forgotten arrival.
"Usually, petite," I said in a Cajun accent. "Den, there's times when dey get real crazy."
"I think I may like it here," Des muttered.
"Okay, who is Des?" Maya demanded. I blew out a sigh. this was going to be hard.
"Desere was de vamp i was following like a love struck puppy ages back," I explained, not noticing my Cajun accent. "She got her soul now. Never t'ought she'd show in LA."

"hehehe" I start laughing, "What is so funny?" asks Doc, I point at a window and say, "Window." Then I point at Doc's head and say, "Empty space," then I think ((It hurts me)) for a few seconds and say, "No, wait, Oblivion," then I crack up.

"'Scuse me a moment, petite," I said, dragging TPot out back and throwing him in a dumpster. "Now, where were we?" I asked, walking back in.

"Right about here," I say, grabbing Tpot around and then shoving my elbow right into his face, immediately breaking his nose.
I slam my fist into his gut and casually duck under his punch and sidestep his kick before going in with my own kick that knocks him back against the wall.
"Isn't that right Mai?" I ask, and Tpot looks up to see Maya standing on the wall, looking down at him.
"Seems that way to me," she said and picked him up by the hair, turned him around and threw him into the wall a few times like she was beating a rug. Done with Slayer strength, you can imagine the results. Although I don't know why you'd want to.
After she was done, she dropped him, head first into the dumpster.
Then, in the blink of an eye, it had never happened.
I turned Tpot back around only this time I didn't hit him, but he expected me to the way he flinched back. "I let you remember that for a reason Mr. British Drink," I say with barely controlled venom, "That, in there, was low. Nobody messes with Doc. Jokes, making fun of, even teasing is allowed. But our pasts here are not funny in any sense of the word. Suggestion; don't make fun of Doc like that again."
Maya came up behind me and smiled too-sweetly at the suddenly terrified boy. "I'd probably let you off with a Ditto, but I have my own message to deliver."

I smiled at him. He cowered. I leant forward, and he looked close to tears. I flicked the end of his nose. "Dont dis my friends." I said, and smiled again. "Ok, i'm done, back to finding out about 'Des'." I went back inside.

"A bit harsh, but t'anks fo' da sentiment, mes amis."
"What's wth the accent, Pepe la Pew?" Maya asked.
"Eh?" I asked then noticed it myself. "Merde... Damn. I didn't even notice."
"It seems I still have an effect, chere," Des purred.
"So, why are you here, Des?" I asked, keeping my Aussie accent this time.
"You are in trouble, mon ami. Dere is a contract on your head, and it is rather large."
"How large?" I asked.
"3.1 million at last count," I gave a low whistle.
"Who the hell'd I piss off this time?"
"I do not know," Des said. "But I t'ouhgt you may need some... assistance. And I agree wit' your friends. You are not selling," great, now Des is ganging up on me.
I am offically having a bad day.

"Woohoo. I like her." I said grinning. "And as for who'd you piss off- kinda dumb question when you're one fo the main demon fighters in a city like LA. Half the population of demons probably clubbed together." I thought a moment, "Lets just hope that the assasins aren't too good..." I grinned, thinking of Docs cajun accent and that Gambit story... i shook myself... "Not like it matters, we'll blow em all to bits anyway." Again i thought of the story, and looked at Doc and Des. I giggled.

"Uh . . . how much?" I asked, feeling rather pale.
"3.1 Million. American," the cajun lady answered.
Gulping down the bile I felt rising up in my throat, I felt even paler.
"What's wrong with you? We can handle this, just like we handle everything," Maya said confidently.
"And what if one of the bounty hunters sent after Doc is Draconis?" I asked her, my voice weak from the fear I myself was feeling. "I do have a favor owed me from him, but I'm not sure if it's enough to save Doc's life. And none of us can beat Draconis. I think he proved that the last time he was here!"

I grimaced, "I was actually trying not to think of that." I said, sighing. "But... i mean, i think most of us area a load stronger than we were last time he was around, plus we have cajun girl and Ate... even Tpot and Jessy if it comes to it. We'll deal... because we have to."

"How about we just be hoping that Draconis doesn't get involved?" I asked.
"Good idea," everyone agreed with me and we all went back inside.

((Wasn't I in the dumpster when you broke my nose josh?))
"Doc should be used to that" I said, "And I'm only stating the obvious, he would argee with me there."

My stomach did a flip when I thought about the what ifs. The what if Draconis did get involved? My hand flew to my ear in a second flat as we settled in the shop and I sighed
'So what do we do now?'

"We find out who took out the contract." I said. "And then, presuming they arent human, we kill them. Cos no one messes with my friends."
