Chapter Three: The Salvation of Paradise

[Solace]

Whipping her head around to lock her icy glare on Abbey, Paige bit the inside of her lip to keep from attacking the other blond flat out. “Wasn’t a threat? Wasn’t a threat my ass.” Paige growled advancing on Abbey as the other blond tried to play peacekeeper between her and Iron Fist. “The man just flat out offered t’ kill ‘Toria if things came down t’ it. Now t’ mah southern mind that’s a threat.” She was breathing heavily and fighting with all her might not to go all female hulk and smack this girl silly. What right did she have to come in here and pretend like she knew anything about any of them, after all nobody knew anything about any of them other then their names. “Oh and if yuh think ah’m going t’ kiss and make up with him yuh’ve got another thing coming. After all ah’m not the one he should be apologizing too.” Paige clenched and unclenched her fists and wished not for the first time that Pete Wisdom or Jonothan had been brought into this crazy world saving gig, because they seemed to be the only two people in the world able to keep Paige's temper on an even keel.

Tapping one combat booted foot on the ground as she weighed the options in her mind, soon choosing that decking Abbey flat out probably wouldn’t be the best of ideas. Then she’d probably be labeled team bully or something by all these newcomers. “Look ah’ve said mah peace, now it’d be best if y’all don’t go assuming things about Victoria before yuh get t’ know her. Same goes for mahself and Barry…because frankly we’re yuh’re guides in this little gig and if yuh want t’ make it through this without losing yuh’re minds it’d be best if yuh wised up and took ‘Toria’s earlier advice.” Her blue eyes still blazed with bridled rage as she silently counted to ten in her head and took a few steps back from Abbey. “Ah’m not here t’ bully any of yuh. Just understand that Victoria and Barry are like family t’ me and ah’m very protective of my family.” The petite blond slunk away from the group not caring what any of them might think of her outburst or her as a person. Soon they’d come to realize why it was Paige got so angry over Iron Fist comment, and why she was so protective of Victoria and had it been Barry she would have been protective of him as well.
