They were more adequately supplied this time around, hinting at the attempt of a longer stay. She wore a rubberized kevlar bodysuit, insulated against electricity, and covered her metal limbs.

In their brief break from the Plant, she’d gone back to the drawing board on her makeshift electric fence. With some more hands to build it and a better idea of materials, she was well on her way to constructing a genuine defensive border around a small compound.

“It’s basically an endless battery, there’s so much juice here,” she explained as she tightened down a knot of wire. “Whether or not it will protect against the things that live here, uh… tee bee dee, I guess.”

none of her raging bolt, or her other mythical paradox pokemon, have earned their names yet. part of it is her fault. with how busy she is now, she rarely has time to train with them like she should, and that's partly the reason why she brings one of them here now. 

it will be a good test of the creature's meddle if one of the giants comes upon them. 

freya has borrowed gloves from ana and works meticulously, feeling out of her depth but also confident under ana's supervision. 

"do you think we could harvest it? bring it back in any way?" a long-term settlement wound mean needing defensive measures, though, and personnel to manage it. with eva recovering and illie's focus on repairing the spatial distortions, there's no one to oversee a project of that magnitude.

“Oh, yeah, probably.” She steps back to review her handiwork. “We could set up a battery charging station here-- that would be the easiest way. Charge up, take it back to Hoenn, empty it out, rinse, wash, repeat. Anything more… stationary would run the risk of collapse if the rift ever shifts, or closes.”

She wipes her hands on her thighs. Zenais floats over carrying a clipboard and a pen, holding it out for her to read. She does, then catches sight of the Raging Bolt out of the corner of her eye, craning her head to look up, blinking owlishly.

“What in the god-forsaken sam hill fuck is that?!”

freya watches ana survey their work. electricity races across the ground, streaks above them, but leaves them well enough alone for now. it could be, in part, to the raging bolt standing sentinel on the other side of their makeshift fence, claws furrowed in the earth.

it turns its head at ana's exclamation, lowering to be at eye level. hot breath snuffs towards her.

"we call them raging bolt. we think it's a paradox version of johto's raikou. there are others like suicune and entei too." its fangs gleam, pointing skyward as it turns its head upside down. "the bolts are the most docile of them all, i've found. this one is...more playful. i think because it - " she starts, then abruptly stops, realizing she'd grown complacent in their normalcy. 

her skin prickles. secrets knot in her heart and though instinct makes her want to swallow it, trust knifes its way through her trepidations. "it mostly spends time with my partner's daughter."

She stays still as the thing drops its head to examine her, chin falling to her chest.

“Wow-wee.”

She reaches out to give it a gentle pat on its head-- then its chin-- and steps back.

“Aw, that’s cute. Like Harold and the Purple Crayon but instead of a purple dinosaur it’s… this thing. Sure.”

She doesn’t even latch on or pick at the sudden, personal revelation, because she knows those kind of things are rare for Freya. She just pockets it away, securely, for safe-keeping.

“Anyway. Come over yonder. Let me show you what else I’ve been working on.”

Across the way there’s a dip in the electrical barrier where the path breaks. A portcullis-style door of barbed wire raises and lowers, here, on janky, squeaky wheels; there’s a tall, wooden pole, like a standard light pole, with a wooden platform near the top. The pole itself is covered in strange striations, each a shade of silver or gunmetal, and uneven, as though done in a hurry. “I call this the Corviknight’s nest. You can put a spotter up there. Nearer the top is sprayed with insulating foam so it makes it super non-conducting and also inflammable. I did all this in the garage and then brought it over a little at a time. Now,” she waggles her eyebrows at Freya, “watch this.”

There’s an unassuming pile of trash nearby-- likely remnants from the construction of their small, half-egg-shaped fort-- from which she grabs something that looks like a rusty old manhole cover with a circular bite out of it. Hefting it with her metal hand, she hovers it close to the pole, and just before they touch, it repels. She repeats the gesture a couple times, before spinning the cover to fit the missing section over the pole.

“Thennnn we get some juice in here to flip the polarization of the magnets, and--,”

Zenais charges up a thunder punch and just barely taps her first to the pole. The air fills with a strange hum and the manhole cover shoots up to the top of the pole until it bangs on the platform with a loud ringing noise, like knocking the bell on a strength test at a carnival.

The magnets hum as it slowly falls back down.

“I got the idea from roller coasters that use magnet propulsion to zoop up over their first hill,” she said, giddy and pleased as punch as she stands on the manhole cover and offers an arm to Freya. “Fucking magnets! How do they work? Anyway, Hell Plant Part Deux is on the other side of this wee gully. C’mon up!”

two things dawn on freya: 

1. ana's brain is a steel trap and none of freya's secrets will ever be betrayed, and 
2. ana has been here without her. quite a few times, from the looks of it.

which shouldn't really bother her, because she knows ana and her team are more than capable of holding their own, but something raw and primal stirs in her when she looks at her beaming smile. a dragon is protective of that which it holds dear.

freya looks down at the platform, then at ana's outstretched hand, and then back down at the platform. she's an aerialist; flying through the air doesn't scare her. but flying through the air in a perpetual lightning storm does not sound in any sense of the word safe.

"it feels like a carnival almost, but the deadly kind." she steps up, taking the offered hand, and shakes off any lingering fear.

Yeah, she likes it here. If you bring enough back-up, the giants are easy to evade. They’re fairly simple and are pretty good at just chasing a blinking light.

The magnets hum, and up to the top of the Corviknight’s nest they go. Not taller than the eggshell wire frame around them.

A long line zips down from their height to a smaller camp in the distance.

She picks up a two-handed dog toy with rubber handles.

“Now we go back down! It’s really fun. I’ve only fallen a couple of times.”

She hooks it over the line and slides.

"how are your other projects going?" she asks as they're lifted up to the platform. freya eyes the rumbling clouds overhead, but takes the...dog toy nonetheless. her fingers grip the edges tightly. "actually, save that thought."

she takes a couple of steps forward, hopping up and tucking her knees against her chest. the dog toy catches. her weight sends her hurtling down the zipline, muscles flexing with ease. 

at the bottom, she stumbles into a jog, veering to the side so ana doesn't collide into her when she goes.

She lets go of the zipline a little early, hits the ground with a hup, and forward rolls, springing up at the end to throw her hands skyward and ‘stick the landing’. “Biles!”

Does that have meaning here? Maybe not.

“My other projects? Oh, you know. Little bit of this and a little bit of that.” She waves her hand like suggesting away a bad smell. “The arrows are good, and I’m trying to make my dragonwing alloy have practical uses. Or, you know, however practical deep space travel might be.”

The ground ridges here, in a large circle, like an impact crater. It slopes down to something in the center: a strange, black structure, large, but thin, like licorice. White shapes that look eerily like taut zipties wedge out of the ground. There are makeshift lights set up all around-- just bulbs on transmitting metal wedged into the soil, powered by errant plasma-strikes-- and they halo the contents of the crater with bright light.

“It’s-- what do you call them? A Xurkitree?”

She slides down the slope towards the excavation site.

“But it’s dormant. I think if you keep the pluggy bits buried they stay grounded and it can’t get any juice.”




we are heading towards hubris

"deep space travel," she repeats, adding to the tally marks underneath her mental placard entitled things to stress over when you think 'i wonder what ana's doing right now.' 

she's happy, at the very least, to know her arrows are still top of mind. freya hasn't asked for any details about them, mostly because she just anticipates that ana will be creating more of what she already has. surprise, surprise, when in just a few weeks' time, she'll be packed to the brim with brand new tech, ready to take back her city with shrapnel bombs and puffs of pollen. 

at the explanation, she lifts her heel up, stepping neatly off one of the braided cords running through the dirt.
