'I hate kits.'
The thought broadcasted itself in Batwing's mind a split second before Goosekit actually moved because to be honest kits were really predictable. Especially the rebellious little rats. Why? Because Batwing had been one and...he would have made a sprint for the path too just because someone was telling him not to. Even though he knew it was coming didn't mean Batwing was happy about it because for a heartbeat he had to decide what to do: Let the scrap of fur get itself smeared across the Thunderpath or do the 'proper' thing and chase after it? Thankfully there was a tiny scrap of Batwing that was actually a halfway decent warrior because as soon as Goosekit lunged forward so did Batwing.
The pluses? Batwing was older, smarter and faster than these little brats. He didn't have the -wing suffix for no reason after all. Batwing was a fast little shit which ticked off his relatives something awful because the bumbling hulking warriors couldn't catch him when he got to running. If they caught him it was because Batwing wanted them to, luring them into a trap or because he was ready for a good old fashioned brawl. It was very seldom that they snuck up on him and had the advantage, just like Goosekit didn't have the advantage here as much as he wanted to be a thorn in Batwing's foot tonight. Galekit was secondary, her little wail ringing in Batwing's ears but not really registering as the black tom threw himself forward.
Quick as a wraith, Batwing plowed past Galekit, paying no mind to if he trampled the little she-kit a bit. She shouldn't have left camp if she wanted to be safe and not run over. Besides, Batwing knocking her over was a lot gentler than what a monster would do to her if she got caught under its bulk. So Batwing ignored her for now and took a flying leap at Goosekit. He didn't have time for finesse so he grabbed whatever he could reach of Goosekit. If he'd grabbed the kit's scruff it wouldn't have hurt so much when Batwing jerked his head hard and threw the kit back toward the safety of the ditch, away from the Thunderpath. As it was...Batwing didn't have time so he simply grabbed a mouthful of kit fur and threw his head to the side, sending the kit flying back toward the grassy ditch. Now, physics. Batwing was a small cat, everyone in ShadowClan knew it and made sure he never forgot it for a single second of his miserable existence. The force of throwing Goosekit back toward safety sent Batwing off balance, his paws sliding on the rough gravel that lined the Thunderpath's edge.
Batwing lost his feet and slid toward the edge of the Thunderpath, heart pounding when he finally came to a stop at the very edge of the hard black not-stone. Heart pounding in his narrow chest, Batwing rolled away from the stinking path, it's acidic scent burning his nose. A flash of bright light dazzled Batwing's eyes as he looked up at the path. A monster appeared, the ground vibrating as it approached and roared past, the stinking hot wind from it sucking at Batwing's fur. With a cut off yowl, Batwing scrambled back from the edge of the path, fur standing up along his spine.
