Crossroad Blues [Tag Cole Reynolds]

[ralphina]

Traveling the country on foot was no easy task, especially when human. You have to walk on foot, hitchhike(which isn't exactly safe), scrounge up money, sleep in sleazy motels, eat less than healthy diner food, and if you don't have money, sleep on the side of the road and starve...or just don't sleep at all. Thankfully, that was not the case for Ralphina Creed. Instead of walking on foot, she transformed and ran on her four legs. Instead of scrounging around for money, she worked briefly at bars after a bartender is suddenly "ill" or is stuck on the side of the road. She also hunted her food, seeing as that would be extremely easy for her to do so. She knew damn good and well that she would get tired of eating raw meat, or meat cooked by fire and she would stop into a diner to spend that money. Instead of sleeping in a sleazy motel, she would curl up under a nearby house or curl up under a picnic table(so long as it was raining) and sleep there. Either way, Ralphina didn't starve and she didn't mind sleeping on the side of the road in her furry form.

Of course, recently it had grown to be a pain in the ass for Ralphina as she crossed the country from New York City, New York to Coast City, California. She usually ran across different states, it took a few days at a time and it really wasn't pleasant after a while. Sure, it was fun and cool at first, but it didn't stay that way, much to her disappointment. Although, when she finally got to Coast City, Ralphina was the happiest feral mutant around. The first thing she did was transform into her human self and go to the nearest restaurant for some food. After that, she headed to the mall and bought herself some nice clothes before she headed towards the once place that she could have fun and enjoy herself: the beach. Ralphina loved the beach. It was calm, serene, and still fun. Even loners enjoyed themselves at the beach. It was really nice and she really did love it. She wondered whether or not her mother and/or father enjoyed going to the beach. She had no idea where she got this love from.

After slipping into a swimsuit and shorts, Ralphina headed towards the beach. Sure, it was getting late, but she didn't really care. She just wanted to swim and feel the ocean and the sand between her toes. As Ralphina walked towards the beach, she weaved in and out of people and as she spotted the beach, she headed towards it, but not before running into something that resembled that of a semi-soft, brick wall. She squeaked and fell back onto her ass before looking up. In front of her was a rather attractive man, which made Ralphina blush somewhat. "I-I'm so sorry. I should have watched where I was going," she said as she moved to stand up. "Are you alright, sir?" she asked, looking at him. Her eyes showed how sincere she was. Sure, she may have been the daughter of Victor Creed, but she was a bit more caring than her father thanks for partially being raised by her grandparents. "I'm so sorry," she apologized again, feeling extremely guilty. "I-I was excited to see the beach and..." She trailed off, realizing how childish she sounded and blushed heavily.

All over the planet their were hundreds upon hundreds of heroes and villains that stretched from nation to nation. Some where all mighty while some where nasty and maniacal. However their's one that stands out in history as being both one and the same. Something that heroes could look up to, while the maniacal and nasty could fear and hope to become. That person was THE Sentry, one of the most powerful and dangerous of heroes around. He inspired most heroes to become like him, while he unintentionally made them fear him. And when they 'killed' him they thought it was over, however he came back and is alive somewhere in space. However it came to known that there's a son of his, which roams around the earth. And his name is Cole, the son of the Sentry and the same as his father in the might and maniacal factor.

And ever since his creation along with his meeting of his father, he still couldn't understand what was wrong with him. All the videos of his father where either encrypted well, or hidden away from the people. Which made sense, if you want the people to forget about someone you hid the evidence away from people. However, if you look hard enough you can find the smallest of hints here and there. In which Cole went back flying faster than the speed of sound, breaking the sound barrier to go back to where he was created. Once there he rummaged through the ruble of the building finding any computer that worked. Fortunately he found one, unfortunately when he actually started to get to the history of his father the computer shorted out. Cole could feel himself grinding his teeth together due to the frustration of it all.

But in the end Cole decided to take a little break from everything, from finding the truth and all. Climbing back out from the ruble he flew back to the sky and jetted off. He wondered where to go and thought about it for a moment, he never has been on a beach before. Mainly due to all the people, but today was a off day so he decided to head to on of the famous ones he heard of. He could see the California beach line and headed to Coast City faster than people could see him. Landing softly on the ground he looked around a bit before walking away from the spot. But than after a few moments a women had bumped into him and feel down from the contact. Cole looked down to the women, and she was quite beautiful, stunning in fact. She apologized to him, and want on to explain why. "It's no problem, I wasn't looking where I was going either". She blushed lightly, and that got him to blush a little as well.

Ralphina looked up at him as he said that it wasn't a problem and that he wasn't looking where he was going either. She smiled at him, still blushing before she noticed he was blushing as well. She giggled a bit and bit down on her bottom lip. She wasn't sure what exactly to do so she held out her hand to him. "I'm Ralphina...b-but, um, you can call me Ralph..." She said, trailing off a moment before realizing how idiotic she must look. She was introducing herself to a complete stranger. Sure, he was a cute complete stranger, but a complete stranger nonetheless. Not that Ralphina should really care seeing as she could take care of herself thanks to her mother and father and their mutant ways, but still. She needed to at least try and blend in, even if she did think it wasn't possible for her to blend in...well...entirely.

Although Ralphina did figure that this was her luck. She travels all he way across the country, from New York City, New York to Coast City, California and isn't distracted by one single guy and all of a sudden she arrives here and heads towards the beach in her hand-me-down, semi-ripped bikini and her ratty old backpack and BAM! She slams right into a rather cute boy who seemed to be the shy blushing type, which was Ralphina's favorite type of guy. Sure, some bold, strong guys were nice, but Ralphina enjoyed cute, nervous, nerdy guys mostly. Not because she was a dominant woman(which she was) but because she needed someone to relax around and for some reason, she found that she could definitely relax around shy, cute, nerdy guys. Of course, she did keep in mind that just because he seemed shy and nerdy didn't mean that he was. Either way he was still cute and Ralphina wanted to get to know the seemingly innocent brick wall.

Cole continued to look at the girl in front of him, his eyes lightly scanning her as she got up. And the reason why he was scanning her was to see what her personality was like. And from what he gathered, her muscles was relaxed telling him she was a calming person. However in a moments notice her muscles can retract greatly hinting at a possible easy angered person. Than from what he got from briefly looking into her eyes he got that she was quick to act type of person. However from her eyes he also gained that fact that shes a kind person when she wants to, but only if the conditions are to her liking. Those where of course only his observations at the moments can and well could be wrong. Though of course he was going to keep those thoughts in his head.

After Cole said his response, he looked again to the girl in front of him as she smiled. Again this made him blush lightly, however it seemed she took notice to him blushing. She than smiled a bit and bite her lower lip lightly. Cole watched as she extended her hand to him and introduced who she was to him. He want to grab her hand as well, though he tried to watch his strength levels, he didn't want to crush her hand to oblivion. So lightly as he could he grabbed her hand and shook it a bit before speaking. "Names..Cole.." he told her. He really didn't know what to say to her other than his name. Cole normally stood away from people, seeing as he disliked the stupidity that comes out of their mouths. But Ralph..she was different..in the sense that he simply didn't feel annoyed by her.

Ralphina smiled at him when he grabbed her hand and shook it before telling her that his name was Cole. Cute, she thought to herself with a smile in his direction. He seemed somewhat shy and Ralphina wasn't going to lie, she thought it was kind of cute, especially since he was talking to her when he didn't have to. "It's nice to meet you, Cole, she said kindly, meaning it. It was rare that Ralphina ever actually told someone that it was nice to meet someone. Usually Ralphina wasn't glad to meet anyone new. She usually despised meeting new people, especially if their smell was odd to her. Speaking of which, she hadn't exactly attempted to smell at Cole yet, but she didn't want him to think that she was beyond odd and never speak to her again. She liked the shy man in front of her

After a moment, Ralphina thought of something to ask him. "So what're you up to here? Beach?" she asked, motioning to the beautiful, large body of water behind him and in front of her. Her eyes fixated on it a moment and saw how calmly the waves crashed against the shore and felt herself immediately start to relax and calm. A small smile tugged at her lip as she looked at the ocean, watching it. The sun was just about gone so the sky was being painted different colors. The scene was so serene that Ralphina felt like sitting down right there and watching, but alas, someone ran in to her shoulder, knocking her out of her serene moment. A snarl ripped from her throat as she turned and glared at the rude man who had bumped in to her. He laughed with his friends about how "strange" she was. She rolled her eyes. Humans were stupid.
