Re: Atlanta, Georgia, United States
Brandy refused the device, not even paying attention to it as she watched Roger get up. And of course, Roger seemed ready to attack Sean, a rather insane smile on his face, before Roger suddenly caught a vision of an attack from a less likely person. Even though he saw it coming, the surprise of it made him hesitate, and right after, Brandy's leg connected with his crotch, sending Roger to his knees.
"You asshole!" she shouted down at him, "When will you learn when enough is enough!" she scolded him. Meanwhile, Roger seemed highly in pain from the kick, and couldn't stop coughing, and holding his crotch with his left hand, "Just what are you trying to prove by being an idiot, by making us worry about you!" she yelled at him in question.
Roger barely started to get back to his feet, holding his gut with his right hand, "What the hell was that for!" he yelled.
"That was for your own good!" she told him, "For god's sakes Roger! You'd get angry at a brick wall, for being unable to break it! There are somethings you just can't do, no matter how hard you try. And I know what you're thinking," she said, grabbing his head with one hand as she caught him giving Sean an evil eye, "But that man was only looking out for what's best for you! He may be as stupid as you are when it comes to handling things, but at least he cares about whether or not you're okay!"
Roger folded his arms, not saying anything, and only having an ever defiant look on his face. This made Brandy sneer at him, and take a step closer, looking at him right in his face, "Look at me, Roger," she said as Roger averted his eyes, "Look at me!" Roger reluctantly turned his gaze to her, when she stared at him a good long time before saying more.
"What matters to you more, Roger? That Wesker guy, or us?" she asked him simply, and before waiting for an answer, she wrapped her arms around him, "I appreciate you coming here to protect us, Roger, but now it's our turn to protect you, from yourself."
At that point, Eddy and Tyler, having been watching the whole time, decided to add their two cents on the situation. They walked over, and each put a hand on Roger's shoulders. "You can't win every fight, bruddah." Eddy said, laughing a little.
Brandy nodded, "That's right, you're not invincible, Roger, no matter how much you think you are, and if you want true strength... Why don't you just ask your friends for help? That's where true strength comes from." she told him. After squeezing him lovingly one last time, she felt she'd diffused most of the situation. Roger wasn't talking, which was a great improvement, but she was sure he had some ill will towards Sean still.
She turned to Sean, letting Roger go, and putter her hands on her hips, "Don't think I haven't forgotten you!" she announced, "Remember, you and Roger are friends, whether you like it or not! I want both of you to apologize to each other, right now! Or else you two will just keep fighting each other like a couple of idiots."
