K I N A B A L U S U M M I T ◆ Subira Arendse ◆ A Dark Figure
As soon as Empathy latched onto her leg and waist, Subira felt her inner emotions being forcefully dragged out. Terror, frustration, along with the buried feelings of powerlessness, and greed. She felt violated, and by a woman who knew nothing about her. This entire situation could have been avoided had Selene not rushed in and attacked, but then again, Subira knew of the other girls fatal desire. Dark eyes watched the bubbling shadow morph into a face, and as she felt real fear well up in her chest, a burning, hot rage bubbled in the pit of her stomach and overtook her emotions. Like a hive controlling its host, the celestial bodies within the bruiser redirected her focus and emotions, syncing their own needs and feelings with her own frustration until their voices came to her in the form of intuition.
Dark eyes flickered from the roaring black void to Selene's form, waiting and ready to be swallowed up and granted her wish. While it would have been nice not to hear the other girls apathetic and dark comments for the rest of the operation, Subira knew they needed her strength. Like fine hairs, electricity began to ripple across her skin and clothes as Gijimani granted her it's speed, and resilience. Jaw no longer hanging in awe, and anger almost radiating off of her, Subira's mouth was twisted in an irritated scowl as she glared at Selene from behind her sunglasses.
"
You idiot."
Without fear or hesitation, she grabbed the tar like tendrils of Empathy that were wrapped around her waist. Twisting them around her hand, the bruiser tugged on the woman's shadow, ripping it like fine material until it snapped from its source. Once her waist was free, the Guardian tore her ankle from Empathy's grip and rushed for Selene.
Like lightning, Subira left a trail of electricity in her wake as thunder clapped above. Racing against the sweeping black void for her teammate, she moved at blistering speeds, body visibly blurring as she darted from behind Thael's shield and across the clearing. Seconds felt like minutes, and once she was no more than a few feet away from Selene, Subira reached out and pounced. Losing her sunglasses upon jumping, she tackled the other girl to the side and effectively pulled her out of the way of the attack, tumbling hard across the clearing thanks to her own momentum.
Picking up a cloud of dirt as they came to a halt, Subira quickly rolled to her knees and crawled to her teammate. Adrenaline pushing her to act so compulsively, Subira grabbed Selene's shirt collar with a vice like grip before lifting her off the ground and bringing her a mere inches away from her face. Subira bore daggers at the scythe wielder despite knowing that this reaction would probably do nothing for her cynical teammate. However, frustration and adrenaline was fueling her right now, and frankly -- she
still didn't care for Selene's opinion!
All of her self control and patience was being tested right now, and instead of giving Selene a well deserved punch in the face, Subira released her frustration through a sincere threat, "
Do that shit again and I'll be the one to end you!"
Shoving Selene back down into the dirt, tense breaths came from the bruiser as she pushed herself up from the ground with a grunt, scowl still visible on her face as she attempted to sort through her own thoughts and calm down. "
Sorry -- but, hear me out. We need to move as a team right now, and rushing in like that will not only get you killed, but all of us as well." Turning her back to Selene and focusing on the stranger still blocking them from the mine entrance, Subira pushed aside her own morals and made her teammate a promise, "
Once this mission is over and we reach the front lines, I promise to never stop you like that again. Go crazy for all I care -- but right now, we need you."
