28} i'm an angel with a shotgun

[SPAM]

[When Allison wakes up, she's on her stomach, which isn't the way she usually sleeps. She sleeps on her back so Duchess can curl up on her chest if she wants to.

The second she tries to roll over, she's met with blinding pain.

It takes some doing, but she manages to get out of bed (and dislodge Duchess from the little nest she's made beneath one of the new appendages on Allison's back) and get a look at the massive, brilliant white wings that have not only sprouted on her back, but shredded her t-shirt.

It takes everything she's got not to panic. She doesn't move for a solid hour as she figures out where the new muscles are, how to get them to respond to what she wants them to do. She breaks her bedside lamp in the process, and whacks the wall a couple of painful times, but after a while of spreading and contracting, a couple of hesitant flaps, and getting used to the feel of what she perceives to be two new limbs, she finally settles into the task of being able to leave her cabin.

For the moment, a shower is out of the question, but thankfully she took one before bed. Jeans are fine, but none of her shirts will work. She finally tracks down a purple string bikini top, and with a little work secures the lower half just beneath the root of her wings. It's a little uncomfortable, but for the moment it's functional enough that she can eat in the dining hall, be seen in various corridors as she heads out to check on her pack, and later spend some time on deck and in the Enclosure as she tests the limits of her wings for the first time.]


[VIDEO - PUBLIC]

[Later in the day, the feed clicks on. Allison's features are against a gleaming white backdrop of soft, fluffy feathers as she restlessly stretches her wings.]

Okay...so who else woke up looking like something out of a comic book?

You mean, more than usual? [It's a joke!

Also, you can only see the bottom third of Steve's face, from the forehead down. There may or may not be a few lingering, light green bruises here and there on his face, but they're hardly noticeable, by now.]


Actually, yeah.

[He watches, his eyes getting just a little wider as she moves.] Wow. That's... something. Do they work?

[Because that's the first thing he would have tried.

But instead, he huffs and raises the camera up to show the top of his head, where he's got a pair of ears (that look just like the ones on this dog) that match his hair pretty well. So does the tail she can't see.]
There's a tail, too. [He might sound the tiniest bit miserable. This isn't funny, Admiral.]

Had to sacrifice a pair of pants - but, uh, you might understand that problem. [Just with a shirt.]

[It is true, wings would be easier for a guy and a tail easier for a girl, but it is what it is, right?

All the same, wings or tail or ears or whatever, it's embarrassing and he's just not in the mood for it. But he's not mad at Allison, so it's a lot easier to curb the anger he's been feeling, lately. Plus, he's feeling more satisfied, now that Zane's down for the count.]
You could wash 'em in the sink in your cabin, at least, [he offers - look, he had no access to laundry facilities for most of his life - but really, it comes down to,] I hope so too, though. Usually it's just a couple of days.

[And it beats turning into the real deal - Bucky told him he'd been a dog, once, a real dog, and that sounds even less ideal than a human with dog appendages.

He does look pretty interested at the rest of it, though.]
Yeah? I - uh, when we were kids, during that flood, Kara gave me a ride. There's nothing else like it. Maybe you could work up to more, if we have those couple of days.

[He laughs a little.] A couple of years ago, maybe. But I appreciate the thought.

If you want someone to spot you, I was gonna go for a run anyway.

[Sadly, he has not even made the dog-running connection. He might even take a joke about it pretty well, coming from her.

Those wings sure are something - yeah, the ears and tail kind of react to thoughts and gestures, too, but not like that.]


You got it. I'll be there in about ten, but take your time.

[It's still weird, having vague memories of living - growing up - in Beacon Hills from that flood, even though he knows that's not his life. Steve's got a good memory - perfect, essentially, since the serum - so maybe that's why the memories haven't faded as much as they could have, but they are still a little faded, a little hard to grasp.

All the same, the area he steps into does look vaguely familiar, even if the stump itself doesn't. He smiles wryly as he makes his way over, although yeah, he's a little distracted by the wings because... those are impressive, and he can't help but study them now that he can see them in person, utterly curious.]


I sure hope not, we've got enough unfamiliar territory to chart as it is. [He's joking, for the most part; he approaches quietly, not wanting to scare the rabbit, especially since he definitely has a couple of canine traits at the moment, although he's not sure the rabbit is actually going to notice.] Are they heavy?

[The wings, he means - he figures they must be light enough to function, but... a person is big. Wings that could get anyone aloft have to be substantial.]

Oh, you look beautiful!

Can you fly?

If you've never done it before, you don't want to tire out! But that's great!

Oh, yes! I try to get out every day, if only just to catch my lunch!
