[no, my fellow Plane-goers, your eyes do not deceive you. there are, in fact, two Genes sitting at the Astral Bar, each with a pint in hand -- and each with a set of wings that were most certainly not there the last time anyone spoke with the Guv. there's also this weird little fact that the Gene Genie is looking a mite peculiar, in that he's, well ... slightly more feminine in appearance? oh androgyny, you and Gene don't mix. not that the Genes at the bar seem to care, really. they're more interested in talking shop]

This hellhole's gone on long enough. 'bout time someone stepped in to fix the bloody place.

So long as Tyler isn't getting his head stuck where it don't belong, I could give a toss about who's doing what to who.

I don't care who or what your Tyler is, so long as he isn't breaking the law. You understand that?

Like a tart with her titties showing.

[both men snort and take a drink.

I suggest you approach with caution]

Tyler, what--

[there is a surprised grunt and Gene yells, trying to grab hold of Diva to keep his balance, but he's awkward with his wings and can't stop himself from stumbling back toward the black hole]

Sam!

[he can't look]

{Diva pushes him hard towards that hole, but tries to prevent Gene from grabbing her at the same time, since she doesn't want to be pulled down with him.}

[and Sam!Gene can't get his balance and tumbles into the singularity, surprise on his face the entire time. thankfully, he doesn't get a chance to speak before he's swallowed into the blackness.

unfortunately, his Justice!twin does. hi guess]

The hell you think you're doing?!

[ooc; Hi Christy! I love yoooou]

[oh God. Sam buries his head in his hands]

The universe really does hate me.

{...shit. Diva looks back to the other Gene}

I forgot there was another one! Ne, I have to throw him in too, right?

What you just did amounts as murder. [glares at Diva, then Sam] And you helped her!

[pulls out his gun] And murderin scum don't deserve to live.

That's not how the law works, Gene!

{Diva runs back to Sam, standing in front of him}

He didn't help, Gene. It was only me.

Don't tell me how to enforce the law, you bloody murderer. [clicks off the safety] I am the law.

Gene, don't.

{Diva pauses for a moment, but she knows that she can only shield Sam so much because she's so tiny. Instead, Diva uses her speed to get close to Gene, forcing his arm up and away from Sam as she tries to pry the gun out of his hand.}

[this Gene, being obsessed with Justice, is a little faster than his Sam-obsessed counterpart. he isn't able to dodge Diva's attack, but he does manage to manouever in such a way she can't get his gun from him]

Assaulting a police officer is a punishable offense!

[and he's gonna try headbutting you now]

Guv...

{It's not like she can dodge it, so their heads smash! Diva makes a noise of surprise before her grip slips. She tries to stay where she is, but the world's kind of spinning at the moment :(!}

[Gene's ignoring you, Sam, and instead turning his gun on Diva again now that she's a bit off balance]

I am the law and no one messes with me.

[bang]

[Sam, horrified, does the smartest thing he can think of and steps forwards to try to punch Gene out]

{Diva pauses for a moment as the bullet goes into her chest, but she collapses. For a minute, at least.}

[unfortunately for Gene, Sam's hit connects and he goes down with a grunt, groaning as he holds his face]

[Sam's taking your gun now]

Let that go...! [looks up at Sam, angry and red-faced] Taking a police officer's firearm is against the law!

Stopping a police officer from recklessly endangering lives isn't.

What do you know about the law?

[quickly, Sam pulls out his warrant card]

DI Sam Tyler, CID, Manchester's A Division.

{And Diva is finally back! So she sits up quickly, picking the bullet out of her chest as she does.}

Ne, Sam, you're okay, right?

{She gets up to stand with him again}
