A Woman of Ability - A Little Drabble Do ya! - April 3rd

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

“Will you be alright if I nip to the loo,” asked Mark Slate.

He and his partner, April Dancer, had just concluded a rendezvous with a contact, but the bar they were in wasn’t exactly pleasant. The patrons were friendly enough. Most were a little too friendly around the classy red-head.

“I’ll be fine, Darling,” she replied. “Just don’t be too long.”

When Mark retuned, he found April re-touching her face powder while, at her feet, a man writhed in agony. He was clutching at his ‘family jewels’.

“Everything okay, Luv?”

“Absolutely lovely!” April told him brightly. “Shall we go?”

April is certainly coming into her own. If they'd written her character like this, the show probably would have lasted more than one season. Good job cuz!

Thanks :-)

Women in fiction have always played two main roles. They're either damsels in distress or exceptionally evil. In the U.N.C.L.E. universe alone, the only capable women tend to be on the side of the bad guys.

Not anymore, now there's April Dancer... and in my stories Elliott, the future Mrs. Kuryakina. "D

I like Elliott :-)

You've just reminded me that I also have a future Mrs Kuryakina. I really must try to get back to that storyline (and the many others I've got going). Illya and Cat go engaged years ago, LOL.

You and me both have that sort of storyline to get back to, though poor Elliott. I left her preggers with their third child so long ago that she'll give birth to an elephant. Ouch!

And that's how it's done. Brava April, and you ;)

We girls need to be able to take care of ourselves :-)
