Flashback RP: Blood and Resolve
DIR By: Caterina Sforza

---------------------------------------------------------
She lands hard on cold stone, breath ragged, lungs burning from
the foreign air. Above her, the sky is gray and silent—strange
and endless. Somewhere new. Somewhere foreign. Somewhere
safe—for now. No one knows what she’s running from, and if they
did, they wouldn’t believe it.
The world she’s landed in is too quiet. It doesn’t scream or
burn. The sky above her isn’t ripped open. Nothing is in ruins.
It doesn’t know.
That feels wrong.
Cress pushes herself up off the ground. Forces her self to push
on, moving like a ghost through the city—boots scuffed, skin
torn, eyes older than her years. Her hands tremble, clenched
into fists that won’t stay still. She isn’t looking for safety.
That lies dead with her parents.
She stops, breath hitching, presses her back to a rough brick
wall. Cold seeps through her coat. Fingers trembling, she pulls
back her sleeve and checks a shallow cut on her forearm. She
presses her palm against it, wincing.
She exhales, voice low. “Pain’s all I’ve got to prove I’m still
alive. Being alive means it’s not finished. He hasn’t won.”
She pulls her sleeve down, pushes off the wall, and moves
forward—purpose carved from ash. Searching. Not for comfort. Not
for rest. She’s hunting power. Discipline. Someone ruthless
enough to make her what she must be. She doesn’t just want to
survive him. She wants to kill a god.
“No surrender. I won’t be the rat he watches run.”

Zelpharia had tracked a dimensional rift or portal which is the
one that brought Cress to the London Universe. She sees Cress
leaving the area of the portal that Zelpharia was tracking. This
makes Zeph suspicious so she decides to follow Cress at a safe
distance before confronting the young woman. Zelpharia scans the
Universal Library and finds that the woman's appearance means
trouble is following her. Very bad trouble. After a block of
following Cress at a non-noticeable distance, Zelpharia decides
to make herself known to Cress. She gets closer to Cress and
softly clears her throat. Zelpharia: Excuse me, dove, but you
look a little lost. Would you like some help? Perhaps a coffee
to talk about how lost you really are? Zelpharia says with a
soft, soothing, friendly voice as her Irish accent is almost
musical. The last thing Zelpharia wants to do is startle Cress
and make her run away. She would hate to have to stun Cress and
take her to Torchwood the hard way. She can sense the power
within Cress and knows the child doesn't belong in this version
of England. Zelpharia is taking her usual friendly approach with
a transdimensional traveler.

Cressida startles at the voice, already retching a blade free
from the sheath beneath her coat. The weight of it in her palm
might as well be as familiar as her own arm. She spins towards
the source slipping into a fighting stance with tense shoulders
before she remembers where she is.Nobody is out to kill me. A
heavy exhale leaves her while she straightens. Cressida:
Bleedin' Jesus. Sorry. She doesn't slide the knife away even at
the woman's friendly tone. Cressida: No I--. It's been a bloody
long day. Don't need a f*ckin' coffee.
Cressida smells like copper and brimstone. An energy radiates
from her, something dancing in a gray space. It's hard to place
it when it's drowned out by something much stronger and darker
that infects her like rot on bark. Her breathing is labored even
as she tries to push through the worse of what she's been
through. Her free hand has dropped to her side where blood has
begun seeping through her coat.
Cressida: Am a bit lost though. Don't know what Universe I'm in
now, just that--. She swears in old Scottish Gaelic. Cressida:
He's going to find me. You are all going to die like ants in a
jar and I've lead him here.

Zelpharia: And that is exactly why I want to talk to you. I
might know a bit about why you're running and who you're running
from, dove. Zelpharia maintains her calming stance and soothing,
friendly voice. She knows that she's going to explain a few
things to Cress. Zelpharia: We call this universe Alpha-1793,
and the beings of this universe might surprise when it comes to
fighting for survival. And don't think about trying to go to
another dimension because this one won't allow it due to damage.
She gives Cress a friendly smile. Zelpharia: So how about a
couple of Scotches instead of coffee and we talk about what is
going on?

Cressida hesitates at first, eyeing her up and down as if she’s
still trying to decide whether to gut her from teeth to tail
end. A friendly look doesn’t mean much where she’s from,
sometimes it just the last thing you see before you die. It’s
the information that she hands over willingly without expecting
something in return, that has her slipping the knife away.
Cressida: Sure. Scotches or bourbon if that’s available. Her
fingers come away crimson from under her coat. Cressida: And a
healer. I’m afraid my body isn’t quite keeping up with what I’ve
been through.
She stares back in the direction she’d come for a long stretch.
The sound of the rip closing behind her still half echoing in
her head.
Cressida: Can’t travel from this dimension…peachy. Um well
unless you’re versed in fighting a God, I might have picked a
piss poor landing spot.

Zelpharia: Not good on the injury. Please follow me, and we'll
get you treated. Zelpharia then talks into a wrist device.
Zelpharia: Tara, have Toshima bring a medic kit to the bridge.
She then looks Cressida with a warm, concerned look. Zelpharia:
As for fighting Gods, this universe has a seal on it that limits
how powerful Gods are when they come into the living realm. A
God is no more powerful on Earth than you or I in this universe.
Plus we have a couple of demigods running around. Lucifer helps
when he can, and Michael will send back up if needed. She then
takes out her scanner and scan Cressida's wounds. Zelpharia:
Best get you to my ship and take care of that wound.
