Rat didn't respond initially. He groaned in pain again, hand clutching his stomach. From what Jack could see, though, there were no cuts. Simply bruises from a first glance. However, it didn't take long before the reason for his injuries drew his attentions. At the end of the alleyway, there was a lone figure. Short black hair topped two narrow, violet eyes. A black mask hid the rest of the assailant's face, but the figure was clearly female. She wore a jean jacket over a tight, black bodysuit, part of the mask that obscured her face.

"I'd advise you to step away from that man," she stated softly. "He's involved with this city's underworld. He challenged the Iron Giant himself." She looked at the other man passively, betraying no emotion in the little he could see of her face. "You have no need to get involved here, but you'll earn yourself the same treatment if you resist."
