The Milliways portal door is a capricious, fickle thing. It had opened for Gordon earlier when he'd tripped over the charred, blackened remains of a lurking zombie while firing a sawblade into its still-mobile companion. Then it'd gone and opened again, back to Ravenholm, just as he was leaning forward to check and see whether the zombie that'd loomed over him before had gone.

The blade had flown true and eradicated the zombie threat, but in the moonlight that trickled through the cracks in the boarded-up window and badly patched roof, Gordon could see he still wasn't alone...

A wise decision on both their parts! For up ahead the cobbled streets are filled with light- the light of purifying flame filling a whole plaza, dancing off every wall and casting leaping, capering shadows. The fire burns bright and hot, but a careful eye will spot shapes twisting in it that might have once been adversaries.

Above the fire a door swings open. The man who steps out onto the balcony laughs, a thundering cackle that dances on the edge of madness. As several more zombies stagger past the flames, he leaves off with his laughter, and the sound of gunfire echoes through the alleys.

"Ah, what is this?" he suddenly calls out. "More lives to save? Very well, I will keep my eyes on you! More than that I cannot promise."

"Wait, we should stick togeth..."

Dinah's words are cut off when he slams the door in front of him and disappears.

"Uh, I guess we should be grateful for the help?"

"Right," she says, drawing back from the flames a little.

They're still a lot like humans and it's slightly disturbing.

"Lead on, then."

"Down!"

Dinah barks it out like an order, and isn't surprised when Gordon hits the floor in a heartbeat. She leaps over his lowered head to the creature, sending it flying. In the same movement, she follows through to land, crouched and ready on the rooftop.

"Where did it go?"

A familiar laugh rings through the air. If Dinah looks back the way they came, she'll see the source: the man who lit the fires is standing on the rooftop of a nearby building, gun in hand. "Well done, sister!" he calls, raising a fist in acclamation. "And you, too, brother. Make free us of my traps. But take care not to fall in them yourselves- behind you!"

The sound of a gunshot splits the air, and the black, vile thing that had been about to leap at Gordon again gives its death rattle.

"In Ravenholm," the man intones, "you do well to be vigilant."

And he steps back into the hole in the roof, still smiling as the darkness claims him.

"Yeah, thanks," Dinah says, unimpressed. "We weren't being vigilant before then."

She steps back to let Gordon up, looking around them both, alert.

raptorcanaria: ([young] listening)
From: [personal profile] raptorcanaria
Dinah, who has been following with ease herself, glances back where they came.

"Oxygen cylinders," she suggests. "They'll do?"

Dinah takes the crowbar promptly while his hands are still occupied with the gun, and stands ready, moving quickly everytime a flaming creature comes leaping at them. Crowbar and feet alternate in sending them back into the mess.

It stinks.

"Neurotoxin?"

Dinah pauses - no, she doesn't, she whacks another flying back then she pauses - turning to Gordon

"Gordon?"

Are you okay?

"Oh my god," Is Dinah's response. Then: "Don't get bitten, check.

"What is that you've got?"

"Metahuman strength?" Dinah suggests. "Flight? Telekinesis?...Oh."

Rhetorical question, huh? Pretend she didn't say anything.

"This is one of the traps he was talking about."

She glances around, looking for a zombie to drop the car on to.

A zombie? No.

Four of them, shambling forward in a ragged group that trails its own cloud of flies? Yeah.

Gordon glances at the cluster, then gestures to the switch in a 'be my guest' fashion.

raptorcanaria: ([young] grin)
From: [personal profile] raptorcanaria
Dinah grins at him, turning to the switch. She's happy to wait until the exact moment that they're under the car, before yanking the lever with both hands.

"Wonder how he managed to set them up without being attacked."

"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Dinah asks, peering up at the walkway.

She looks around, then runs to the second lever, waiting for the zombies to line themselves up. "Get ready to jump."

Dinah's grin is reassuring but slightly nervous, but she focuses on the job at hand - as soon as the zombies are under the car, she pulls and runs immediately, landing with a klank on the hood of the car.
