(Begin?)
(Sure. you can start)
Melody ran a hand through her hair. Her calculations must have been incorrect, seeing as she was staring up at a swastika. Frickin' Nazi Germany. Why? What did I do to deserve this?
"Oh. Shit." Lau shook her head, laughing incredulously. Swastikas, really? She glared down at her vortex manipulator. "Traitor," she mumbled to it.
"Lau? Am I dreaming or are we in Hitler's office?" she asked.
Lau glanced around, her lips pressing together. "Let's just say we're both dreaming. The same exact dream. Because, obviously, we're not." They definitely were.
"Well, let's hide. This is literally Nazi Germany."
"Good idea," Lau said, "but you know what we could do instead? Explore. When life gives ya lemons…"
"Freeze them and throw them at your enemies?"
Lau gave her a look. "No. That's a waste of lemons. Make lemonade, poison it, give it to your enemies."
"Better." she said.
"Anyway-" Lau froze suddenly. "Wait, someone's coming."
Two men were speaking to each other in German. One opened the door, and none other than Adolf Hitler himself walked in. The guard left, and it was the two travellers and Nazi Lord. Alone.
Lau was no stranger to the dangers of time travel. Hitler, WW2, Nazis… all fixed points in time. However, that wasn't enough to make her not want to kill him. "Should we knock him out?" she asked in a cold voice.
"Allow me." she said, walking into plain view. "Come with me." she said pushing Hitler to a closet. "Hitler, this is Closet. Closet, Hitler. I hope you become good friends." she said, shoving him in and deadbolting the door. "Lau, let's go! Quickly!"
"Fiiiiine," she groaned. "I just wanted to be able to brag about sucker punching Hitler. You never let me do what I want."
"The closet was better. History says he got ambushed here, at this point in time. Who am I to argue?"
(Lol she made her own history happen.)
"Whatever," Lau said with an uncaring shrug. "Can we at least go find a different Nazi to punch? I need to punch a Nazi."
"There's a guard outside the door, be my guest."
"My pleasure," she said with a grin. She yanked the door open, stepped out, and said, "Hello!" before colliding her fist against the guard's jaw. He crumpled against the wall and fell to the floor. She gave him one last kick for good measure. "All clear, Mel!"
"Right." she said. Five guards walked up to them. "Dammit."
"Ooh, yay, five more Nazis to punch!" Lau said, full ready to dive in and start swinging.
The guards pulled out guns. "Lau…." Melody said.
"Or….not." Lau raised her hands, eyeing the guns. "What's our move now? We can't just punch our way out, sadly."
"Erm… we surrender?"
"Ughhhhh," Lau let out a long, pained groan. "Fine. We surrender."
Later, in a holding cell……
"Just saying, it could be worse."
