Anthony screamed as he plummeted. He scrambled for this glaive, but the chain fluttered too much in the wind. Just as he was moments from crashing into the fiery depths below, he crashed into a white figure standing atop a tree. The two tumbled down into the ground below. Carwyn shook his head for a moment, then looked around himself. He noticed a stocky human laying motionless to his right. The figure began to stir, and he rocked toward Carywn's prone position. Who the fuck are you?
Who the fuck are you?

Anthony shook his head and ran off. "I don't know and I don't care. You have wings and you're caked in blood--if I wanted to deal with your kind, I'd sooner let the dumbass who is following me take a closer look at my blade."
Anthony exploded into a clearing, leaving the angel behind. Amidst the burning flames, he saw another slumped body in the center of the clearing. He ran over and picked up the girl's tattered frame. Shiiiit, he thought. She does not look good.
He began to walk away from the clearing when he noticed a flare of light from above him. The resulting soundwave stirred the figure in his arms. She looked up and into Anthony's eyes.
Who....who the fuck are you?
Anthony chuckled to himself. "Everyone seems to be asking that right now. I'd call myself your guardian angel, but after the last ten minutes I don't want anything to do with fluffy-winged assholes. Let's just call me a friend."
The figure slumped in his arms again, going limp.
"So much for small-talk," he muttered. Let's get out of here.

Carwyn threw a flash of light over his head as he saw the white wings of an angel pass overhead. The explosion rocketed past the flying figure, causing it to shake in the air and circle round.
Longinus looked down to see a white-winged figure below him. At least, partially white. Both wings were battered and beaten, and one appeared to be comically pink. Longinus stopped short, and swerved in time to dodge another energy blast. He swooped down, knocking the other angel to the ground.
Carwyn's last fleeting moment of consciousness was dashed away by a rock colliding with his skull. All he saw before him was black.

"Fuuuuuuck my life." Cass turned over, shielding her still closed eyes from the light. "Tylenol. . .Aspirin . . . A rock to the head!" Painstakingly, she lifted her head up and looked around. ". . .Where am I." She caught the eyes of someone new. She attempted to leap away from him, but the moment she applied pressure to her right wrist, she collapsed in pain. "Who are you?" she growled, cradling her arm

"We've been over this. I'm the guy who just pulled your ass out of a blazing inferno that would make Smokey the Bear cry." Anthony waited for the reference to register in her eyes; it didn't.
"Nevermind. You were passed out in a clearing. I saved you. Fire was involved. You know, fwoom, bpkrsh, ahhh, fire? So you're here now, and I'm going to be frank here--you're a fucking mess. So hold still for a little bit, I'm going to try some in-field first aid."

Cass looked warily at him. "Why should I trust you?" she asked. "I can manage on my own."

Anthony shrugged. "Okay, see you later. Nice talking to you. Hope that the blood pouring out of your broken wrist doesn't stain your clothing too much."
Anthony started to walk away.

Finally Cass took a good look at the state of her being. "Jesus. I'm going to kill that Angel." Assuming you live, a small voice in her head chime. "Shut up you," she muttered to herself. Stubbornly, she tried to pull herself to her feet. In a second, she was on the ground again, shouting in pain.

Anthony stopped. Thought so.
He turned to face Cass. "Was that a "Shut up, you" directed at me, or directed at the pain that probably lives in every joint in your body, m'lady?" He stepped forward. "I could help, I really could, but it'll cost you."

Cass glared at him. "What'll it cost?"

"A night on the town with yours truly. And it doesn't really matter if you say yes or no at this point, chances are you'll pass out from blood loss before you can form a coherent enough response."
Anthony's grin spread from ear to ear. "So, whatdya say?"

She stared at him. "Are you daft?" she cried. "You act as if I have time -- " She exhaled sharply as she thought what she was saying over. "Deal."

"Perfect! Okay, now you'll just need to take off your pants..."
Anthony jerked away as the girl violently shook away from his grasp.
"Kidding! Jeezamaryjehosephat, you'd think a guy could be fun in this day and age without being gutted." He took a strip of cloth from his shirt and dabbed it with his canteen. He placed it on her forehead tenderly, and began ripping more strips off. Her body slumped during the process.
Anthony finished ripping off parts of his shirt, only to see it was all but gone. He sighed, looked at the girl, then back at his bare chest. "At least one of us got half-naked."

Cass clenched her eyes and inhaled sharply. "Good lord," she murmured. "Pain. . . Oh, pain. . ." Slowly she opened her eyes. "Obviously. . . I'm still alive."

"And you're a damn lucky one," Anthony commented. "You had wounds covering practically every inch of your body. If it weren't for the fact that most of them were burned shut, you would have died of blood loss before I even saw your pretty face."
Anthony stepped over to the girl. "Before we get into that, I do need to say one thing." He kneeled down by the girl with a grave look on his face.
"What's your name?"
