RUN FOR COVER. RUN WHILE YOU CAN, BABY. DON'T LOOK BACK. YOU GOTTA RUN FOR COVER. DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE FEAR, THAT'S A PLAYED OUT TRACK, MAN. YOU KNOW YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE. AND DON'T LOOK BACK, JUST RUN FOR COVER.

She held onto him.[break][break]

Bailey shut her eyes, rejoicing as her worries finally, finally accepted their defeat. Those thoughts dripped to the back of her mind, where they could be willfully ignored. The time for talk had passed. She had vented her concerns. Now, her mind could concentrate on what was most pressing. It was either the warmth of Daniel's hands or the warmth of the water that made her tremble; she leaned into the former–literally and figuratively.[break][break]

Her lips pressed against him, urging him with a thirst that never seemed to be quenched. In the back of her mind, she can register when her back collides against the outer ridge of the springs, where the steam could obscure them.[break][break]

“I could never leave,” this was her home.[break][break]

Tomorrow, an exodus would begin. She could feel it coming. People would try to escape from Rocket. They would flock to the shores, to the ports, to any boat that was accessible to leave Hoenn and this conflict behind them. It had happened in Kanto. It would happen here; but, Bailey could never fathom the thought of running. She was too stubborn to let this place slip away from her.[break][break]

In her backpack, there were two tickets in a manila envelope; two tickets for a boat ride to Sinnoh. It wasn't for them. It was for her family. She had made their decision for them. “I can't start over. I can't uproot myself,” even if, at one point in her life, she would have killed for the opportunity.[break][break]

Maybe Bailey Cooper had matured. If anyone had said that out loud, she would have immediately protested. Some things never changed.[break][break]

“I'm not running,” and she leaned herself against him.

Bailey could have spent the entire night uttering promises. [break][break]

She kissed his cheek, against the side of his face that had been threatened. “I do like your scars, but let's not get excessive,” and Daniel's reassurance was a band-aid to their wounds–it would cover the problem, but it could never fix them. Not while they were still in Hoenn–not while this conflict continued to grow–but, she knew he would do his best to uphold his word. It gave his promise weight. [break][break]

“We'll be together,” if he wasn't enough, then maybe they could pull through; together. Luck would favor the bold. Her fingers brushed against the polished metal; rubbed the scar and the ridge that separated man from machine. [break][break]

“I won't worry.” They were partners. They would see this through. “We beat up Regirock, remember? A legendary,” and she laughed, trying to belittle what was happening beyond the confines of the hot springs. It...kinda worked.

The innocence of his confession made her laugh as she walked him to the ledge. It mirrored her own embarrassment from earlier. Sometimes, they were on the same wavelength. It was frightening how familiar they could be; how their minds could follow the same train of logic without even a glance. [break][break]

One step, then another, before Bailey was able to sink down and let the surface of the springs brush against her shoulders. “You'll love it.” There was nothing that these waters couldn't cure. She had spent so many hours in this place, trying to wash away the worries that a day could bring. Right now, she wondered if they would be strong enough to sap the stress from her body. [break][break]

“We can take it slow.” She teased, feeding on his brief embarrassment as Daniel joined her. Her hands sought him, drifting close while enjoying the feeling of weightlessness that the waters brought. Her fingers laced as her arms looped around his neck... and she sensed that something was on his mind. It shone in his eyes. [break][break]

A sad smile pulled at her lips as he spoke. Like the beach, they would share their concerns and be vulnerable. Bailey does not object; it needed to happen. A threat was starting to manifest. Their lives were being threatened. If they didn't speak their minds now, would they ever get the chance? “I... know what you mean.” She'd lean, tapping foreheads with him. “I got so wrapped up in the moment,” but it had been pretty funny to watch her Pyukumuku deck a Rocket Member. [break][break]

She cleared her throat, touched at the next confession that left his lips. It weighed heavily, as if to remind her that her reckless nature–their reckless nature–could come to hurt them. “When you joined the fight at the station, I was surprised... worried? Maybe? I knew you would be okay. If there was anyone I could count on, it'd be you,” but she had seen him hurt, before. [break][break]

“But, I didn't want to see you hurt. Not again.”

His words tempt her with their warm suggestions–as tempting as the heat of his breath against her nape. They had been apart for too long. She knows it. He knows it. It encouraged her to melt the moment his hand reached for her; the moment she felt his lips press against her neck.[break][break]

Bailey gasped to the sensations, knowing it wouldn't be the last time he'd coax these sounds from her.[break][break]

“I missed you,” and her skin prickled beneath the soft grazing of his fingers. One hand was warm. The other was cold. She appreciated the contrast as he guided her against him. It roused memories of that night on the beach, but it would be different this time. They were familiar with one another. There was no urgency to acquaint themselves; no urgency to learn. Now, they knew.[break][break]

Hunger drove her to take his hands, leading them to where she wanted them to go; just like last time, she let her intentions be known.[break][break]

Confessions easily spill from her lips, murmured as he kept his mouth to her pulse. They were requests that only he could hear. After Slateport–after running through the dark train tunnels to the beat of the throes of the people–she forgot how nice it felt to be safe in his arms. “More.”[break][break]

If only the night could last forever. They could get lost in another moment. They could pretend that the next day would never come. “Of course,” and Bailey gave his hand a reassuring squeeze. She closed her eyes, suppressing the thoughts that would come when tomorrow came; the loss would be staggering. [break][break]

Hoenn was falling apart. [break][break]

She fetched the keys when they arrived, unlocking the door to the lounge that petered to the locker rooms; the hot springs were supposed to be separated by gender, but they wouldn't abide by those rules. Not when they were alone. “You can get it wet, right?” And Bailey gestured to Daniel's metal limb. “It doesn't... detach, does it?” These were innocent questions that she had pondered, but never asked. [break][break]

Her unawareness roused a tinge of red that reached her face. “Erm. Never mind. Dumb question,” and she tried to backtrack from the subject as she walked to the rows of lockers, each opened and emptied. When tomorrow came, she knew this place would stay closed. The region would have a day of mourning. Nobody would think to wash away their woes. [break][break]

There was a stack of white towels, neatly folded. She had to break her hand away from his, only because she had started to shed off her jacket.

When Bailey stepped away from the bike, her hand naturally sought his; fingers easily slipping into Daniel's grasp, feeling a warmth that seeped through her skin. It was a comfort. It brought a sense of security... and his offer coaxed her first laugh of the night, breaking the somber expression that had been fixed to her face. Finally, her mood lightened.[break][break]

It was not the events of Slateport that weighed on her mind, but the implication that it could happen here, where the people were kind and unable to defend themselves.[break][break]

“You just got out of the hospital,” except, he had not been released as the hospital had intended. His rehab had been brought to a premature end, or so Bailey presumed as she remembered the sight of Rocket Members storming the streets of Slateport. “Let's not put you in another.” She wanted him safe. She wanted him right where he was–right next to her.[break][break]

They were partners, both in their work and in their personal lives.[break][break]

The streets were empty. People were likely sealed in their homes, glued to their televisions as the invasion was broadcast for the world to see. Slateport must have fallen into Rocket's hands by now. She has no doubts about it. “Not sure.” The word home sizzled in her gut, rousing memories of a girl that wanted to be anywhere but Lavaridge. It was a simple place. Its comforts had been wasted on her and her teenage rebellion.[break][break]

“I guess I missed it,” and she returned his smile, trying to match his stride. The waters would be warm; they always were. A good soak would ease her body of its burdens. “The springs aren't open right now... but I know where they keep the keys.” Under the mat, right by the front door.[break][break]

She could see the steam rising in the distance. “Does that sound tempting?”

She traveled through the night.[break][break]

Bailey struggled with her exhaustion, unable to shake the image of the stretching road from her mind. As the road curved and swayed, she followed; the low rumble of her motorcycle drowning out her thoughts; her worries. Slateport had fallen. She had escaped. The events of the day continued to play in her mind... and Mauvillie was now behind her, where the Professor could now reside. The man was safe, but for how long?[break][break]

What about her? What about the people she cared about?[break][break]

The lights of Lavaridge greeted her. The small town was a speck on a map. It was a cluster of tiny homes. The only light it carried was the glow from their tiny, square windows. It was humble. It paled in comparison to the metropolis that had been Slateport...[break][break]

And Bailey knew that Rocket could mow it down in a single second. “We're here,” and she shut down the motor, granting Daniel a chance to step off from behind her. They had met in the subway tunnels during their mad escape from the city, and through some unknown force, they had escaped unharmed. It was a blessing.[break][break]

“I...thought we should lay low. I don't think anyone would try to come out this far.” If Rocket was well connected, then someone would be on the lookout for them. At least if they were out here, they were far away from the rest of the region. They could... recollect.

“If I can't derail the train, mid-transit, in the midst of a frantic battle as I scream in the face of my enemies, then what's the point?” Bailey announced as Kapow separated the connector between train cars, suddenly feeling less invested in this whole endeavor. Whoever let the power get shut down fucked up and ruined Bailey's entire week.[break][break]

And when @min showed up, ready to start the fun, it was too late. With all the poison bullshit in the air, the Rocket member might have missed the Stealth Rocks that Bailey had asked her Gigalith to employ. So, as the woman began her speech and the Professor latched to Bailey's arm, the floating rocks suddenly deployed–except, instead of striking against the Salamance, they shot downward through the floor of the train, allowing the long length of the rocky spires to block off the space between the both of them, akin to rocky jail bars... or some shit that I am too tired to properly describe.[break][break]

“Nah, fuck that. I'm gonna bounce,” and she shoved the Professor towards the door as Dallas Rhodes ripped them open. People started to flood out from the train car, and she was swift to follow. His question would be met with a shrug. “I dunno, man,” and Kapow scooped the Professor into his arms, similar to what he had done back in the cave with Regirock.[break][break]

It was time to hoof it.[break][break]

tldr: bailey takes the professor and runs. peace, bitches. stealth rock makes shitty bars to bar off @min from messin' with her or the professor as they dip with Dallas Rhodes.

Gigalith was withdrawn, but the Stealth Rock remained.[break][break]

Bailey had shielded a hand to her eyes as the glass to the cabin shattered –glass rained across the control console and the glittered against the ground, crunching beneath the weight of her boots as she stepped back. “Professor!” He was fine. She had glanced back, wanting to check on his condition, as he made an effort to retrieve a... crystal?[break][break]

The train leaned. The sounds of scraping metal interrupted any noise that the officer could have made, the cabins unaligned as they struggled to scale whatever remained on the tracks.[break][break]

“Shit. This is going to be a bumpy ride,” and she patted the Professor on the back. “Put on your seat belt. Safety first.” Rules that Bailey Cooper refused to abide by.[break][break]

She cast Kapow, knowing that if anyone could help with the unaligned train cars, it'd be him –but it didn't seem to be necessary. She stepped back into the crowded cabins just as Dallas Rhodes came to the rescue. “Suit guy!” She called out, recalling him from the wild thread that Rascal kept forgetting to post in. “Get your ass over here!”[break][break]

The effects of Pinpin's safeguard started to filter through the poison gas, offering relief to the passengers as she passed. There was still one train car that refused to budge. “Everyone! Come on! Move it!” She waved a hand, trying to herd people towards the front of the train...[break][break]

And when that was done, she entered the junction between cars, where the mechanisms that held cars together would be located. Bailey had no clue what it was or what it looked like –but she figured that one good hit would be enough to sever it.[break][break]

SKY UPPERCUT would do the job.[break][break]

tldr: yelled to Dallas Rhodes saying heeeeeeey. kapow punched one of the connectors between train cars after she yelled at everyone to move further up. this happened on train 4.
