Who, [janus says,] the Hell else is going to buy crack from random white people in alleyways?
[and then they break free from the mouth of the allway, all at once. the suspension of the car shrieks in protest and there's a crunch as the nose of the car follows the downward slope onto the street, bounces off the asphalt. janus mashes their foot down on the gas and the gasoline roar fills the air, underscoring the unnatural whine and hiss of thom's power discharging against the dubious moisture on the pavement below.]
And why aren't you trying to kill them?
[the next moment, the car lurches forward with enough force to bang thom backward into his seat. he probably didn't have time to put on his seatbelt, which is going to feel like a mistake as soon as janus twists the wheel, spinning the car out into a turn. behind them, the chitauri tech-wielding bigots are spilling out into the road and shouting.]
