As soon as she heard the unmistakable sound of a cocking firearm, Kora's weight swiftly shifted onto her back foot, her trained reflexes compelling her back more than any conscious thought. She sprang back as the man flung himself forward, and then, feet skidding in the dust, dived behind the doorframe moments before bullets splintered off the wood. The shots might've missed her head had she stayed. But that was a big might. The knight pressed her back against the wall of the building, and lifted her hands up. The metal plating of the adapted gloves flared red as heat started to manifest around them. The air rippled and blurred. [b][color=ed1c24]"I just want you to keep in mind:[/color]"[/b] Kora called back through the entrance, still stood parallel to the frame in order to avoid the hidden gunner. [b][color=ed1c24]"That you instigated the fight here. We could have handled this in a civilized way. I want you to be completely aware of that when everything that's about to happen, happens."[/color][/b] She sprang across the doorway, trailing one hand across the threshold of the wooden door and by the time she'd cleared it a fire had spread all across the dusty wood, blocking the entrance. She didn't imagine metal guy was going to be too worried about it, but whoever was shooting at her in there was. With any luck she could split them up and deal with them one at a time. Trying to take out the big guy whilst under fire was not a great idea. She'd learned the hard way about the kind of setup.
