Angie meanwhile is gushing over the feats of some of her subordinate punkers. 

"And when you knocked that table on top of that fat kid, oh, my God, so cool."

Permalink

"Yeah! Too bad they cut and run - Bridge Queen Marla had a pretty good trick up her sleeve, though. I see why the others call her 'the bear'."

Permalink

"Lotta queens around here;"

Permalink

"It's a new world order. All that it takes to be queen is to get people to call you it. And honestly, if anyone who's not a punker or cheating deserves it, it's the bear."

Permalink

"Cheating?"

Permalink

"Vampires and werewolves are way too better, so it's kinda cheating."

Permalink

"That's true. I wonder why humans are even a thing."

Permalink

"If we were all-"

"HEY!" The downed queen interrupts the small crowd jeering at her. "Are you going to kill me yet or do I have to listen to your idiotic attempts at insults for longer?"

Permalink

"Why kill you? I won."

Permalink

"Oh? You don't know the sordid history of the group you just took over?"

Permalink

"What are you talking about?"

Permalink

"The punkers killed a lot of kids in the first couple months. Queen Tabby reformed them up a bit. But scum always shows its colors eventually, eh?"

Permalink

She looks around her hordes. "Is that true?"

Permalink

"Well, technically speaking, yes, but..."

"There were too many kids and not enough food and some of them attacked us, we were safe if we were the scariest and baddest around..."

"You have no idea how crazy things were in the Big Apple just after the Bug. Kids goin' insane left right and center."

Permalink

"Well, don't do it again!"

Permalink

The punkers look uncertain, then start nodding and looking guilty.

At this, The Bear bursts out laughing, hacking coughing laughs despite her bruises. "Oh, vicious noble savages, oh punkers, so easily cowed by a wild wolf!"

"S-Shut up! She's strong!"

Permalink

"For pointing this out to me, the Bear shall be rewarded with becoming a noble kitty!"

Permalink

She stands up with a groan. "Heh. Everything I ever wanted for the last five christmases and birthdays combined."

There is some consternation among the punkers, but they know better than to try and push right now...

Permalink

"You don't mind if it's the wimp-pire's blood, though?"

Permalink

"Blood is blood. Damn, you're actually gonna try it? We normals better get clear of the blast zone."

Permalink

"I will blow you all up and make you new."

Permalink

This is... Probably good? The punkers look a little nervous.

"Well, if you're treating it like a game, finish grabbing the boss fight treasure and get the hell off my bridge!"

Permalink

"See ya!"

Angie and her punkers make off with as much ill-gotten loot as they can carry. Nobody thought to bring a wagon, so it's not actually all that much.

On their way home, they stumble upon Joey. 

"What are you doing?"
