Nikky moved with him as she slowly brought up the tempo. She was enjoying this, despite the fact that she was in a strange place with a lot of drunk or wacked out people.... but wait. Wasn't that how they met? In a bar... with alcohol. She laughed softly and danced still. "Only if you want to..."

He kept up with her, nodding. "Why not?" He spoke quietly into her ear. "I want what you want, baby." He put his arms around her waist and moved with her a bit faster.

Nikky grinned and moved against him a bit as they came close to going to the music. "Hm... what if I don't know what I want... then what?" She spoke back to match his tone, staying with him closely.

He smiled and looked into her eyes. "Then we improvise, baby. What do we got to lose?" He sped up a little more, finally coming up to the music's tempo, swinging her around a little. Her warmth in his arms made him feel all was well with the world.

She grinned and danced along with him, complimenting his moves. "All we've got is our little bit of pride... which I through out the window when I decided it was more fun to be freaky weird." She spun about a bit, grinning and laughing slightly. She loved being around Reno... this was the subtle fun she enjoyed....

"Freaky weird, huh?" Reno grinned. "Not just freaky, and not just weird, but freaky weird?" He spun her close to him, resting his head on hers. "I am, too-- I just never had a name for it." He kissed her before spinning her around, feeling the joy of moving in tandem with her. Never believed in soul mates before, but I'm a believer now.

Nikky laughed and nodded. "We will be so together... can't be freaky weird alone, now can ya? No fun in that." She kissed him back and laughed a bit as she was spun around. She almost entirely forgot about everyone else as she danced with her Fiancée.

This continued for a while, and of course Reno had a grand old time... But then the beer started to get to him. Not badly enough to make him act oddish, no... but enough to throw off his coordination a bit.
Hence why he bumped into a rather largish man, knocking him over into a table.
Even the band stopped. They played at this place often enough to know Leroy was not the type you messed with, intentionally or not.
The man, now covered in tequila and peanut shells, stood up. He was at least a foot taller than Reno, with his shoes on.
The guy cracked his knuckles.
Reno sighed and groaned. "Aw, h**l--"
The guy swung at him. Reno knocked Nikky out of the way, ducked, and came back up with a hard swing at the other guy's head. It connected with a heavy SMACK, and the guy staggered... falling against a girl who was with another guy almost as big as him. This guy moved his startled date out of the way and reared back to punch Leroy, and accidentally punched another guy (That's MY move, Reno thought), who spun him around and gave him a good hard whack. As those two kept on duking it out, while the girlfriend thumped Leroy around a bit with her purse, Leroy's drinking buddy came at Reno from behind, grabbing him around the neck-- Reno grabbed the guy's arms and tossed him forward reflexively, sending him into a table, which collapsed under his weight. This annoyed three other morbidly fat patrons, who rose and balled up their fists, and just like that, a full fledged bar brawl was in motion.
The beer chant guy got up on the counter and began yelling drunkenly. "BETS HEERRRREEE!!! BETS HEEEEERRRRREEEE!!!"
A couple guys forsook their game of poker and started laying money on who was going to win.
Reno fended off his random attackers without much difficulty-- after a demon army and a crowd of Seraphs, these drunks were no problem whatever. But he wasn't worried about himself... it was more Nikky he was concerned over. He glanced around between blows-- "Nikky!" He swung again, another drunk collapsed. "Nikky, where are you?"
The band started packing up quietly, but quickly joined the brawl when the cantina manager started bickering about how much money they could expect for the afternoon's playing. Guitars and amplifiers smashed in unholy musical vengeance...

Nikky heard him but turned to face a rather large man. She glared. "Move it." He didn't move and instead came closer. She made a face of disgust before jumping up and roung housing him, knocking him into another. She swore before moving and bumping into another drunk. This one took a swing at her but she ducked and upper cutted him.
She spun around and nailed a band member just because she could before seeing Reno and waving. "Hey, babe! I'm over here!" ^^;; She spun herself around and sweeped the feet out from under a rather tall man. She was just doing this for fun now, she had missed bar fights....

Some Afro-wearing guy over in the corner was taking out a whole bunch of people... inexplicably, the server that had been helping Reno and Nikky toppled over and bled a little bit, even though nobody had even touched her.
Reno ignored these facts because neither really applied to him. He made his way towards his fiancee instead, snatching her wrist and propelling her towards the door. "We're outta here..."
A couple of tall, butch chicks wearing WRO uniforms had different ideas. Oh, great. Now I gotta hit girls. Not cool, not in front of Nikky. Actually, anti-coolness, really.
He resigned himself to this quickly and took a couple of swings at them. He figured he might be able to use his powers to get past them faster, but he didn't want to expose himself in front of all these people.

Nikky stopped when he did, she looked at Reno before grabbing one girl by the hair and slamming her face down on her knee and throwing her into another. She had no problem hitting another girl. Ha, she would hit almost anybody but a cripple or a kid. She glared at any one who gave her funny looks but was the opposite of mad. This was a h*ll of a lot more fun then dancing or drinking....

One of the member of the band, a young blonde with a big red coat, swung at anyone around him mercilessly with a very pointy and seemingly invincible electric guitar.
The WRO girls dispatched by Nikky, Reno resumed his bid for escape. The rock guy almost impaled him with the guitar, but he dodged back at the last second, shielding himself with a chair...
Leroy, covered with several purse-shaped bruises, made another pass at Reno from behind, but was predictably thwacked over the head by Rude, who had appropriated his partner's EMR. He tapped Reno, who automatically assumed he was being attacked and swung the chair around at Rude, conking him on the cueball but good. Rude, who was used to such treatment, merely wavered unhappily and offered the EMR.
"Oh... thanks, yo," Reno said, penitently.
Rude shrugged and started staggering off towards the door. Nobody could lay a finger on him... but that was probably because he was using his shield again. He's getting the hang of that pretty fast, isn't he...
Now armed, Reno took to the nailing of thugs with renewed interest, clearing a path towards the door. Bids on his victory suddenly went up.

Nikky laughed when she saw Rude and waved a bit before decking a guy hard in the jaw. She spit on him before kicking another guy in the gut. She made her way back to Reno and stayed close to him so it would be easier for her to get out with him. Wow... a nice little walk turned into a crazy bar fight. We should get out more often! She grinned as she tripped some random chick before stepping over broken glass to get to Reno.

Reno finally seemed to be making some real headway in this melee. He saw Rude stumbling out through the doors, and something falling out of his jacket... The paper!
He surged forward and snatched it up, just to have somebody else grab it and toss it to his buddy in a vicious game of Keep-Away. Reno growled audibly and went after the paper, his irritation rising... the guy took advantage of Reno's distraction and connected a hit. Reno whirled on him and socked him in the gut, spotting the paper fluttering to another guy a few feet away... He moved after it, the spot where he'd been socked now hurting slightly. Great... I was this close to getting out and some lousy Steno sheet's got me back in the thick of it... sigh. That's life.

Nikky saw him and stopped, frowning. What is he doing? She moved over and tackled a guy who was about to get him, putting him in a choke hold and bringing him to the ground. "Never make it easy do ya?" She sighed and knocked the guy out before getting up again, looking around for Reno.
