So, this last week has not been kind to me. Everything from sudden deadlines at work that weren’t there two days ago to the average temperature in Oklahoma dropping a good 20°F and giving my sinuses the run around. Not to mention my DVR kinda died half way through watching Elementary last night… this really sucks cause I have two episode of Arrow on there I haven’t watch yet (wait, is this a bad thing?).
Anyway, tonight’s episode The Trask at Hand is not ready for it’s 7 o’clock air-time. I hope to have it up tonight, but at the latest, tomorrow. It will post as usual on FF.net on Sunday.
In consolation, here is a sneak of episode 1X08 – Scarlet:
Rogue slammed on the breaks as a car whipped out in front of her with no regard of little things like ‘right of way’ and ‘oncoming traffic, “Seriously,” she laid on the horn, “why is it a universal constant that three fourths of the world’s population do not know how to drive?”
“Hhhmmm,” Wanda crinkled her brow as she focused on the car in front of them, “fun fact, radiators have a separate section for transmission oil to be cooled. If the flow slows down because it’s not cooling properly, then the transmission doesn’t get old and can burn out. When your transmission goes, sometimes it’s just cheaper to get a new car.”
Wanda snapped her fingers and a keen eye would see a small spark of reddish electrical energy jump across her finger pads.
“I’d turn here if I were you,” Wanda smiled, “our inconsiderate driver is about to find himself most inconvenienced.”
“Nice,” Rogue chuckled as she turned down a side road, “I told you taking that automotive class would come in handy.”
“You only wanted me to be able to fix your car for you if you were feeling lazy,” the Romanian smirked.
“Hey, you said it was easier to affect the probability of something happening when you understood how it worked,” Rogue took a corner, then started to pull up a drive, “I was just trying to help.”
“Uh huh,” Wanda shook her head, pulling a garage door remote from her bag, “what’s the probability that the spa uses the same frequency as this remote?”
“I dunno,” the Southerner grinned, “you tell me.”
“Let’s go with probable,” Wanda snapped her fingers again, pointing the remote at the gate which then proceeded to open on command. Wanda feigned surprise, “well now, would you imagine that?”
