Two Gods. Damn.

AGAINST EXPECTATION, instead of dying on the spot, the piece of shit shot off like a charger.

The old muscle car threw her back against the seat as hard as Erik once threw her down in the arena. Oh, yes. The memories were coming back, that giant stud landing on her as the crowd cheered.

She held the dash as the car peeled out, and grabbed Erik as it cornered on two wheels.

The muscular studs on each side of her helped keep her in place. She got part of her wish for tonight, but this wasn’t the kind of sandwich she’d had in mind.

Alright then. They might escape. Sirens filled the night behind them, and spotlights. “Fuck oh fuck.”

She grabbed the reeking vinyl seat as Corey cornered hard, vrooming away from the estate where they’d left Alten to face discovery by his guards, well-aimed piddle from his little pedigreed dog, and the wrath of his wife.

The charging chariot tore through the night, leaving the Heights for the garbage-reeking downtown.

The junker hit a pothole and lurched. Sparks hit her head and rubbed it. Bits of insulation rained from the ceiling like yellow snow. She sneezed. If they could just make it to downtown without being caught, they’d be okay.

Corey drove like he’d never driven before.

Sparks swallowed hard, her knuckles pale from holding on to the seat. It was possible this was his first time in a car. She blinked. Maybe actual chariots were a thing where they were from. Ancient times. Wasn’t that what Erik said? She ‘got ahead of herself.’ In time. Impossible, but it sounded like...time travel.

Weirder than that, she was having a hard time imagining her life without him in it.

Wait. Ancient times, as in, before electricity. Damn. That meant no Internet. If she went there, how would she ever adapt?

“Hold on,” Corey shouted, his voice high with glee.

Sparks tightened her grip so much her hands hurt. The upholstery felt squishy underneath.

She didn’t want to fly through the cracked windshield, but the probability of encountering slugs or whatever else if she dug in the seat’s crack for a seatbelt was too gross to face.

She sipped shallow breaths. The once-sexy steel charger smelled like swim trunks left to rot. Had the car spent part of its life in a lake?

“Where did you get this thing?”

“We didn’t want to steal, so we found a car graveyard and Corey resurrected this one.” Erik’s voice rumbled, setting off a heat blast between her legs.

He sounded so pleased, and Corey shot her a proud grin.

A car graveyard. She didn’t have the heart to explain that they’d stolen it from a junkyard where it was just as illegal to take a car as to boost one off the street. Well, at least with this thing, the owner was unlikely to be trying to chase it.

“Right. Thanks.” She rubbed her forehead. “Okay, we need to ditch this thing, I mean chariot, out of sight, and get to city hall—.”

“That’s littering, though, right?”

“It doesn’t matter. We just need to get rid of—.
