When Dragon's Hearts Were Good

a Navy man came up behind her, holding a gun to her head. "don't move. you're comming with me" he said knocking her sword and pistol out of her hand and kicking them out of reach.

Calico held her hands up, her mind racing. She thought of tripping him, maybe being able to knock the gun out of his hand... She went on instinct, quickly turning to knock his arm away, ending up getting her right shoulder shot as she faced him, while he still had the gun.

"GET AWAY FROM HER" a voice roared. the soldier looked up and fired at the sky as a blur landed on him. Jason slowly got up, a dagger in the man's chest and neck. "are you alright?" he asked her, even though he was shot in his left shoulder. When he faced her their injuries were a mirror image of each other.

Calico nodded, "I'm ambidextrous, so I'm fine."

Jason smiled a bit at her. "me too" he said. he held a pistol up and pointed it in her direction. "don't move" he said, his expression set.

She held her mouth shut, not moving a muscle.

Jason pulled the trigger. the bullet came so close that she could feel the air as it just missed her cheek and ear before bringing down a navy man just inches from her feet. he smiled at her. "what would you do if I wasn't watching your back?" he asked smirking and not noticing someone was sneaking up on him now.

Calico quickly fired behind him as well, "I could say the same thing." There was a thud behind him as blood pooled at his feet.

"well it seems we got a good system going doesn't it?" he asked laughing. "i watch your back and you watch mine" he said smiling at her. he turned and pressed his back to hers as navy surrounded them. "hmm..." he looked up at a rope. "how High can you jump" he asked pointing up to the dangling rope.

She jumped onto his back, then launched herself off, bring him the rope, "That good for you?"

"perfect" he said turning it into a lasso. He launched it and it wrapped around a chest, held up by another rope. he took aim and fired before grabbing calico. when the bullet broke the second rope, the chest fell and lifted calico and jason up into the air. He landed on one of the beams holding her in his arms. He took a bomb from his pocket. "care to light me?" he asked smiling as he handed it to her. "go ahead and drop it down on them when it's lit" he said as some started trying to aim at them.

Calico lit a match, then lit the bomb, dropping it, "You are aware that we're going to have to put out the ship, right?"

"actually not" he said smirking. the bomb exploded with no fire, just shrapenel in all directions. "shrapnel bombs. No fire just pain" he said smirking. he was still holding her in his arms as he walked along the beam. "i think that was the last of them. "he observed looking around.

Isador looked from one navy ship to the other, tossing a match on one and watching them all burst into flames.
Calico cheered, "Way to go, Isador!"
Isador looked up, but said nothing.
"That kid is a genius with explosives..." she muttered, climbing down.

Jason sighed watching her climb down. Cheering for the cleanup guy but not even a thank you to the guy that did the hard part. his shoulder was starting to bother him, and some of the shrapnel from his bomb got his legs a bit too.

Calico smiled when they got to the bottom, "Bet you thought I forgot about you, didn't you?" she smiled, kissing his cheek, "Thanks."

Jason felt his cheeks light up in a blush. He hadn't been expecting a kiss at all. after the initial shock wore off he smiled at her. "you're welcome" he said smiling happily at her. "so it seems we'll have matching scars" he said motioning to their shoulders.

Calico shrugged, "You never know. I don't scar easy."

"well if you do scar then we will" he said grinning at her. "do you want me to wrap it up for you or are you alright?" he asked.

"I think I've got it." she said, wrapping it with her sleeve.

Jason smiled and did the same to his own. "at least that was easy to wrap up" he said as he started to sit down on a barrel. the second his rear touched the wood he shot up as if electricuted. "now this sucks" he muttered rubbing his eyes. "shrapnel got me so I can't sit" he muttered.

Calico looked over at him, "The best one to talk to is Isador. It's kind of his thing."

Jason shook his head. "no thanks i'll just deal with it till it heals" he said walking around.

Calico sighed, "Isador! Jason needs you!"
Isador looked up, walking over to Jason, motioning for him to follow.

Jason rolled his eyes but reluctantly followed.
