Outside, the rain lashed at the tiny automat like it was Noah's Ark. Inside, Angie was appropriately dramatic for the latter, not the former. "Peggy, please, I need it!" Angie pleaded. Put her palms together and everything, like Peggy was one of her mother's saints. "Because otherwise you won't get the part?" Peggy reiterated sourly. "Yes!" A sigh. "Angi...
A/N: Gail is the character played by Natalie Dormer in the movie who offers herself to Steve. Steve really just wanted some sleep. It'd been a long day and he didn't even get to punch any Nazis. So he went into his room and there was that blonde, the one that introduced her tongue to his tonsils, what was her name, Lorraine? No, that wasn't it, Gail. Gai...
It was a moment of downtime, the DJ spinning an unpopular but requested song, so Chloe and Rose went to their table to regroup and check phones. Carson, Rose's date, was happy to take a moment with his boys to horse around, they grabassing him and demanding details, making him momentarily the most popular guy in school. Lily, Chloe's date, had similarly gone...
A part of Liv would miss happy-go-lucky brain, but ever since the boat, she preferred to take life as it was, rather than how she'd like it to be. Otherwise, she would've taken a Scientology pamphlet a long time ago. New brain was a case of autoerotic asphyxiation, and in a woman no less. Liv almost felt proud. Took dedication for a girl to be that into ma...
When Felicity got home, it took her a drink to think about her day. She wasn't normally a drinker, but with her mother staying with her, she'd picked up a bottle. Now, already on edge, she'd turned out to need it. First, she'd spent the day with Ray, catching him up on notes as he teleconferenced from a stretch of private beach he'd just bought. Because she...
Just before she went to meet with him, Illyana went to the girls' room. She took her time there: blushing her cheeks with a dark wine rouge, darkening her lips with a thick, luscious lip-gloss. She spent a good deal of time just combing out her long, honey-blonde hair, looking at the way it shimmered in the mirror, imagining how Scott would run his hands thr...
Laurel looked over the docket of cases she'd have to make. The first one was of a serial arsonist. It came with pictures of his three victims. She'd gone into work that morning bearing a smoothie with the smoothie dumped out and vodka filling the Styrofoam container instead. She'd been smart; that was enough to keep her on an even keel through the work day...
Dick couldn't believe it. He just couldn't believe it. He'd known Donna was an Amazon, and even heard what the Amazons were like from reliable sources. Donna had actually warned him what becoming an Amazon, even an honorary Amazon, would be like. But actually experiencing it—seeing what sweet, innocent, sisterly Donna was capable of... He was more aroused th...
Kory and Diana strained against each other, muscle to muscle in competition. Their conjoined fists wavered this way and that, grips crackling with the power poured into the simple arm-wrestling. "You know of Catalina Flores?" Diana asked, her voice slightly pitched with effort. "The Tarantula," Kory spat. "Dick's told me of her. How vilely she used him—"...
Why was she doing this? Felicia Hardy had been a cat burglar, it was true, but those days were long over with. She had people to steal for her now. She could order gunmen to do a smash and grab to take anything she wanted. She could outright buy any loot she craved. Why was she bothering to sneak into a penthouse after dark to knock over one piddling safe?...
