What the Hell just happened Maggie thought as Luke's left boot went down in the daisies next to her front door.
Luke went down with a yelp of surprise. There are a crunchy thud as he kissed the gravel. Maggie felt a wave of satisfaction.
Luke came back up to his feet, his nose was bleeding and there was gravel in his hair and shirt. He growled and came around her car.
"I am going to fuck you up! Asshole!'
Luke crossed the distance between them and charged Mars who had somehow moved between Her and Luke again. She had to give the man credit, he was incredibly fast.
Luke crashed into Mars and came to a dead stop. Mars did not budge or get thrown off his feet. Luke looked like a car that had slammed into a brick wall thinking it was a picket fence.
Luke tried to take a step back even as Mars suddenly moved and laid Luke out with what looked like a full armed boxer punch like Mike Tyson would throw. Needless to say Luke's mouth and jaw went in opposite directions and teeth flew. Luke followed his teeth through the air to land flat on his back with a bone-jarring crash that Maggie would have sworn she felt.
Mars straightened back up even as Maggie stepped around him to consider Luke who was sputtering up considerably more blood now.
FUBAR
That was the word that came to mind and she could not remember what it meant save that it was an apt description of Luke's face contorted in bewilderment and rage. One of his eyes was beginning to swell and his cheeks were going a shade of purple.
Luke screamed something but ended up biting his tongue and howling instead.
Luke made to get up and Maggie step forward without thinking and kicked him in the crotch.
She did manage to step back before Luke hunched over and puked all over his jeans.
When he was done puking. He crawled to his knees, then got to his feet, stumbled around until he spotted his boot and carefully retrieved it. Mars began to move, but Maggie put her hand on his arm and he stopped. Luke froze then slowly back pedaled out of her short drive, then turned as quick as he could manage and limped away down the road.
They watched him go.
"I could end him." Mars said after a moment.
"No, let him live." She heard herself say as the rage slowly drained out of her.
She looked up at her Alien with a strange sense of pride. He was the first person who had ever stood up for her since her Dad had died seven years ago. Well, stranger things have happened.
She was dog tired suddenly DTTW. She need a shower, a shave and a beer.
She chuckled as she walked back to her door.
Mars still stood looking down the road.
She turned back to this man, no scratch that this alien, and did the unthinkable.
She walked over to him, took him by the arm and escorted him into her home.
her last thought was. "Come into my parlor said the spider to the fly."
She wasn't sure who was the spider or the fly.
At that moment she didn't care.
