[hr][h1][i][color=MediumSlateBlue]Lucille[/color], [color=red]Meifeng[/color], [color=plum]Trevor[/color], [color=aqua]Jennifer[/color], [color=Springgreen]Cindy[/color], [color=DarkSlateBlue]Reed[/color], [color=lightgreen]Marcus[/color], Alice vs. REAPER.[/i][/h1][hr] Reed and his senior partner quickly took cover behind the discarded pieces of furniture left behind by the party-goers and readied their weapons towards the two REAPER agents, quickly discerning that the others were fighting for their lives. Normally he'd have offered a warning but these people obviously weren't playing ball, and he had no intention of letting these kids get hurt, regardless of ability. Leveling his sidearm with the female REAPER agent, he quickly squeezed off a round towards her central mass. The bullet was the interruption that the group within the glass dome needed. The bullet hit her right in the stomach. red hot blood came out of her gut as she looked down - but saw that the bullet was being pushed out of her stomach. A wreath of fire burned her clothes as fire engulfed the wound while. It quickly healed itself shut without a mark. The woman reared her head, and gave Reed an angry glare. She raised her hand in the air above Reed, and ice blocks began falling from above him. Falling at high speeds. Chunks of shattered ice soon scattered across the beach yet Reed had just enough time to throw himself out of harm's way. As the wave of sand roared towards him, Marcus instinctively raised a hand up. The bone blade there immediately expanded in size, forming a huge shield that he braced himself behind. Sand crashed against it, making him stagger back a few steps as he drove the base of his shield into the sand and crouched behind it, bracing himself against the huge mass of bone. Eventually the wave subsided and he broke the bone shield off of his arm, forming another blade that extended with a wet [i]schlick[/i] from his forearm. He shook sand from his hair and shoulder and growled. [color=lightgreen]"Oh, you did not."[/color] Alabaster raised her eyebrow at the woman's imperiousness to gunfire, apparently unimpressed, but inside her head Alice was panicking. What had she walked into? It seemed that the two metahumans wielding sand and fire were, for want of a better phrase, the bad guys. That opinion, at least in her mind, was confirmed when she realised the girl she had vaguely recognised was in fact Jennifer. "No, I'm Al-abaster." [i]Huh?[/i] Jennifer thought to herself for a moment. Wait, this chick looked to be a bit familar. She looked awfully lot like a videogame character - Yeah, Vorpal! Jen raised an eyebrow at the revelation. They're getting backup from a [i]cosplayer[/i]? Okay... this has taken a turn for the weird. She didn't know. She would have said something but she realised that there was in fact no real way to identify her in this form, her ability was almost perfect for concealing her identity in fact. Maybe Jen would realise, she was no idiot after all, and she knew Alice was a gamer. Still, Vorpal was popular, millions of people played it, it would only be through familiarity that Jen might think it was her. She still wasn't sure if she wanted to tell anyone about this, let alone someone who was already registered. Her thought process was interrupted as she realised that the fight was still continuing, with or without her. The man with the gun was clearly now the target of the metahuman's ire, and blocks of ice were falling from the sky above him. She flicked her wrists, and the blades sprang forwards, seemingly with a life of their own, neatly dissecting the block directly above him into four, far less lethally sized pieces. The female REAPER hissed in anger as the newcomer reduced her attacks to mere dust. "Okay." Jen said to herself disecting the situation. They're dealing with two Metahumans with a high-regenerative factor (Possibly on par with her own). Every attack they launch against them will get healed. So, it's either a battle of attrition to see who gives up first, or.... "Guys, try to restrain them, or something!" Jen shouted, seemingly going ignored. There was something inside of her telling her to leave while she has the chance, but she couldn't abandon her friends. No matter what happened. [hr] The pain was disappearing while Trevor held Lucille's forearm. "T-Thanks." Lucy watched her burn slowly be replaced by new tissue. She was unable to hold her bliss and face the situation as she should. She was happy and high like never before. "What we do now?" She asked him. "I don't know." Trevor shrugged. "But, I think you should get out of the way - you're gonna be high for a bit." The dome of green glass was somewhat difficult to see through. Cindy was looking, and saw that there were a few more people joining the fight. Which was good, because it gave them that opportunity to get Lucy out of the way. Cindy looked over her shoulder, "It's great you're okay, but can you even [i]walk?[/i]" Cindy asked. Trevor knelt down and grabbed Lucy up by the shoulder, trying to pull her back up "Dunno, can you?" "Y-yeah." She replied. "No worries about my wobbly legs." She laughed alone. "That's the spirit." Trevor said, with a wide grin on his face as she hoisted Lucy over his shoulder. Capable of easily supporting her weight. "Alright," Cindy started off, the dome glass started floating - but didn't raise high enough to stop covering them. "Follow me..." She started walking, holding up the orb. High stream blasts of sand impacted the dome, and Cindy let out a groan as she had to try extra hard to prevent it from hitting her. The shield hit a car that was parked on the beach, and that gave Cindy an idea. She sliced the dome in half, creating two round halfs. She threw the half that was touching the car above the REAPERs, and she shattered it through sheer force of will, creating a rain of glass above them. With the other half, she firmly embedded it into the sand to act as a shield. Cindy walked over to Trevor, and grabbed onto Lucille's other shoulder, and supported her under her weight. Together, they managed to put Lucille up against the car. "Hey guys, we're not running away, right?" Lucille said "Well, lemme put it like this," Trevor said, his Texan accent very apparant. "I can't really fight, and you should be in la-la right now." Trevor looked at her, somewhat worried. "So, if you want to fight them while high [i]and[/i] sedated, be my guest." "Look." Cindy started off, looking at Lucille. She slid her glasses off, and wiped the sand off them with her tie. "You took one helluva hit right there, girl. You should sit down for a second... I don't know what Trevor's drug does - but he knows more about it than anyone else." Lucy only nodded and sat on the ground. Cindy nodded, and crouched down underneath the car, peeking out. [hr] A camaro left behind by one of the wealthier party-goers served as adequate cover for Reed as he quickly searched for a spot to hunker down, whilst Gabe sprung from behind cover to open fire on the REAPER agents with his shotgun. A sand storm wreathed the two, courtesy of the male REAPER. A circle of sand surrounded them, and obscured their movements. Bullets pierced through it, though Reed held fire to avoid harming the kids. Through the storm one could hear the sound of glass shattering whilst Gabe frantically loaded more shells. Diamond shaped pieces of ice shot into the sandstorm wildly. Coming from Meifeng, standing on the beach, and drawing seawater into a orb, and shooting it at high speeds. It was a bit harder to freeze [i]seawater[/i], but she was fully capable of doing so long as she put in that extra effort. She didn't know if it was hitting them. With the guys attacking from one direction, and with her own from another, they're bound to be getting overwhelmed. Out of the sandstorm rolled the camaro, pointed at the REAPERs; its handbrake had been released and the weight of the car was causing it to slip down the slope of the beach. Reed had ditched it, hoping to take advantage of the low visibility and throw them off for a volley of return fire. The car did go down the slope of the beach, it continued to roll and roll. By the time it had pierced the layer of the sand, it was just about to collide with the woman. Who had turned around, focusing on Meifeng's attacks. "Look out!" Her fellow REAPER shouted, putting out his hand. She looked over her shoulder, and dove out the way, landing on the beach on her stomach. Leaving herself open. Gabe saw the opening and closed in, weapon at the ready, whilst Reed sought to hold off the other agent with another volley of gunfire. Meifeng took capital of the situation as well, drawing more seawater into her orb, and freezing more chunks. She began unleashing a storm of ice cubes. Hitting with force to leave bruises, her goal was to utterly overwhelm. As the battle raged, Marcus saw an opening. The car that had been picked up (a really awesome 2015 Camaro) got lobbed at the two metas who were all evil and such, and charged forward. While the lady threw herself to the ground, he instead beelined straight for her male companion and ran past Gabe's advancing form. With a roar he charged straight at the man, leaping forward with his forearms extended in a very animalistic charge, blades aimed straight for his torso. The combined might of the various Metahumans going up against them certainly left the REAPERs overwhelmed. Ice slammed into the woman's body, leaving nasty purple bruises. However, she was given ample ammunition by the cyrokinetic. She drawn all the ice she could, and created a shield around herself, creating more ice. She had created a half dome.... but her hand started uncontrollably shaking as a pain filled her arm. She started at her hand in horror as it turned [i]into[/i] ice. She let out an antagonized scream of pain as her fingers fell off. As solid chunks of ice. "Hm." The Boss thought to herself out loud as she watched from the ledge. She put a hand on her chin, "... Gonna have to report that to Cross." [hr] The male REAPER was focused on the barrage of bullets, he was gathering his sand together, throwing it as balls at Reed, and the others. He didn't notice Marcus charging him up until he was flying right at him. His eyes were wide open as he tried to hopelessly gather sand together. He grabbed onto the blades, and tried to pull them away from his vitals, but they penetrated his flesh, and he let out a hiss of pain as his back hit the ground. He closed his eyes, writhing in pain as he tried to pull Marcus' blades out of him. That's when his eyes opened, and he stared Marcus right in the eye. A stream of sand shot out of the beach, and overwhelmed Marcus. Shooting him upwards into the air. [color=lightgreen]"Motherfu- "[/color] Marcus tried to stay anchored, but the onrush of sand blew him away, breaking the bone blades off his forearms as he flew away and to the side, landing and tumbling into a heap on the sand some distance away. Disoriented and dazed. Large tentacles of sand burst out of the beach, four large ones. They quickly poised to dive right into Marcus, and most likely bury him. As the male REAPER agent poised to bury the bone merchant, the screen of tyres echoed out somewhere near the house. Moments later footsteps crunched down the beachhead and then, a whirl and an explosion of smoke filled the area. The male REAPER would be engulfed in a cloud of gray, choking smoke that seemed to worm its way into his nostrils and mouth. He violently coughed and choked, as he tried his best to get the smoke out of his system. He had no choice [i]but[/i] to release control of the sand. As Marcus watched, a figure materialized out of the smoke and threw a wide sucker punch at the agent's face. The punch knocked him down, his cheek was red - but quickly healed. The figure drew over the fallen man and kept punching, even as the smoke began to clear, revealing a muscled but female form. Audrey's fists barreled down into the man's face, a move performed so many times against her own face her nose was always crooked because of it. She straddled his chest, her knees clamped down against the man's shoulders as she threw punch after punch into his face. The REAPER threw his arm up, using his elbow as a shield against the woman's barrage of blows. Every blow she threw regenerated, but he still needed to get her off him. He shot a splurt of sand at Audrey, and threw up a cloud of sand. Using it as cover, he created as much distance between them as possible. With a cough, she threw her hands up over her face as she got sand lobbed at her. With her eyes squeezed shut, her grip on the fallen man loosened, and he wriggled out of her grip even as a punch fell and landed in the sand instead. She stood up and dusted herself off, taking a nice long drag from the cigar clamped in her mouth. While Marcus recovered, she walked over and slapped him on the back of the head, making him yelp in surprise. [color=lightgreen]"Ow! Wha- "[/color] [color=gray]"Useless [i]blyad[/i]. I told you to wait."[/color] [color=lightgreen]"Yeah but- "[/color] [color=gray]"Shush. Fight now. I will have word with you and Cole later."[/color] [color=lightgreen]"Yes boss"[/color] He took her offered hand and stood, bone shards bursting out of his knuckles as he rolled his shoulders and tensed his fists. Audrey stood beside him, smoke coils roiling and weaving around her body as her cigar glowed brightly in her mouth. The REAPER created swirling tentacles of sand, and sent them out at Marcus and Audrey, as he rode in on a spinning pillar of sand. Simultaneously, the two of them split up; Marcus shifted to the left and up and sprinted at the man, while Audrey sidestepped right and moved towards him as well, going slower but making a beeline straight for him. The sand tentacles hit their previous positions as they moved, and as the man barreled in straight towards him, Marcus reunited with his boss. [color=gray]"Get me up there."[/color] [color=lightgreen]"Got it boss."[/color] Marcus sprinted ahead of her and immediately stopped, his hands cupped as she ran straight at him, stepped on his hands and jumped at the same time he flung her up with all his might. The momentum of the throw sent her a ways up and she covered the remaining distance by bursting into smoke, flinging herself as high as he was and engulfing him in another cloud of choking smoke even as she regained her physical form and landed on the roiling pillar of solid sand. As the smoke wormed its way into his lungs again, she threw a punch straight at his rib cage, the center of his chest. The man fell backwards, coughing violently. Things were going a little blurry for him. He created a sandstorm around himself, trying to get her to retreat (And damage her a bit in the process). Meanwhile, down below, Marcus dove out of the way of the approaching pillar of sand and rolled back onto his feet, waiting for his next opportunity to strike. Coughing herself, Audrey squinted but pressed the assault, braving the stinging pain of the sandstorm to attack him again. She moved in even closer, throwing a forearm into his throat even as she hopped forward slightly and wheeled around him, using her weight to pull him downward as her arms locked around his throat in a sleeper hold, her strong legs wrapped around his waist as she squeezed her arms around his neck. The man started violently thrashing, trying to get her off him. She was tenacious, he'd give her that, but foolish to stand in a sand-storm like this. He has to go to desperate measures to get her off. He started pulling the sand off the beach, and started piling it on top of them. Burying the two in sand. He'd be able to get out, but would she? This was all a plan to force her to retreat. She did indeed retreat, but she pulled her prey along with her. Arms still locked tightly around his neck, she began rolling sideways off the pillar, keeping her arms and legs wrapped tightly around him as they both fell off. Down below, Marcus looked up and saw the two breaking free from the sandstorm, spinning in freefall as they fell off the twisting tower of sand. Then, in midair, he watched his boss burst into smoke and drift off to the side, leaving only the man in freefall, even as he sprinted towards his landing site. Sharp points of bone burst from his forearms and hands, turning them into really spiky and sharp limbs as he rushed towards the REAPER agent to catch him in his sharp, spiny embrace. There was barely any time to even react. The REAPER fell upon the spikes, which immediately impaled him in many places. He let out groans of pain, as he tried his best to push himself off. After he did, he hit the sand hard. The wounds started regenerating... but he felt pain like no other. He pointed his hand at Marcus, but it started violently shaking. It started to turn into sand, which became no different from the sand on the beach. He started screaming, rolling around in the sand. He tried to control sand, but nothing happened. The serum he was given wore off. He kept rolling, screaming in sheer pain as he stared at the stump. All he felt was pain. Marcus immediately released the man as soon as his arm turned into sand and fell away, recoiling in horror as he scrambled backwards. [color=lightgreen]"Woah! What the fuck?!"[/color] Even as the man rolled around in sheer pain, Audrey dropped to the sand beside him, knelt down and delivered a swift punch to his face, dropping the agent out cold. She stood and took a puff from her cigar, shaking her head in disgust. [color=gray]"Useless fucking [i]blyad[/i]."[/color] Good, they took one of the REAPERs down. Cindy was watching from the sidelines, peeking her head out to stare at the seen. He was dropped out cold, and Cindy figured that it was time for her to make some good. Cindy ran over to the scene, with her hands up, "I'm on your side, don't hit me!" Before she knelt down, and put the man's hands (Or arms) together. She started covering them in glass, creating a thick bind of multi-layered glass. It'll be hard to break in case he wakes up. She ran over to his legs, and covered them in glass, restraining his legs. She looked up at them. "... Hi." [hr] Meifeng decided to take advantage of the disabled REAPER. The woman was in pain - which would make it easy for her to just go in and finish the job. She quickly threw her arms back, and sucked the water into her hands like a vortex. Meifeng put the orb on the ground, before she hopped on top of it. It started spinning as it carried her forward. However, she couldn't pull the trick off like she normally could. She was feeling quite dizzy. She was feeling really lightheaded. She grabbed her head, and before she knew it, she was landing shoulder-first in sand. The bubble of water splattered, and soaked the sand. She let out a groan, as she slammed her fist onto the sand. She was thirsty like a motherfucker. Meifeng knew that she couldn't give up. One solid hit and the woman would be out. Meifeng ran up, opting out of the water in favor of old fashioned legs, and gathered water out of her pocket dimension. Once she got up the shield of ice, she hosed it down with water. Both the woman, [i]and[/i] the shield were soaked. Which meant that all Meifeng had to do was... Suddenly, the woman shot the ice outwards - one chunk collided with Meifeng's chest, and made her stumble a bit - the woman raised her hand into the air, and started shooting large orbs of fire. Which came back down in a firey rain. Specifically over Reed and Gabe. "Move!" Reed quickly shouted, making a break for it and diving under a nearby trailer for shelter. Gabe followed suit, but was a little too sluggish and caught one in the back of the leg before he could make it under cover and let out an agonised "Fuck!" as he tried to beat out the flames. Rolling out from beneath the trailer, Reed quickly retaliated with another volley of fire on the woman, emptying half a magazine into her direction. Meifeng, on reflex, put a thin layer of water above her. When the fire came down, it hit the water, and did no damage. Other than melting the water a little bit. The regenerative factor granted by the serum returned, and the woman's fingers erupted in a firey wreath as her fingers quickly returned. She hissed as the bullets hit her again, ripping through her flesh and bone. The wounds quickly closed, before the woman created a circular shield of ice. Blocking the bullets. However, Meifeng noticed that she had left herself open, and a wicked grin found it's way onto her face. She ran up to the woman, fist covered in water, and she leaped up into the air with her fist cocked. The water formed a brilliant spiral as she punched, and shot a strong splurt of water at her. The woman barely had time to react before she was sent flying down the beach. The REAPER literally rolled down the beach, bruising her limbs. She stopped her movement by slamming her hand onto the ground, and freezing it on contact. She pointed her frozen hand at Meifeng, before letting off a volly of fireballs. A soft breath escaped her lips as she swung her hands out in fluid motion, and the water followed. Extinguishing the flames before they even reached her. She kept this movement, until it became dance-like in fluidness and motion. Alabaster finally snapped out of her reverie, so much had happened in such a short space of time, it was just like Vorpal, but so much harder to deal with when it was right there. She had watched as one of the attackers collapsed, his arm turning to sand and disintegrating before his eyes. The other was still very much a threat however, and Alabaster vaulted out of the way of a new volley of flaming projectiles, landing with an inhuman grace before leaping forwards. Even the treacherous footing of the sandy beach couldn't slow her charge and she rolled beneath another fireball before springing into the air. She was awfully aware of her fragility Alabaster was fast, very fast, but she had serious doubts about just how much damage her projections could take. As if to prove her point a fireball seared past her abdomen, and she contorted to get away from the worst of the heat, before landing feet first on the woman's stomach. At least there was weight to the projection as the meta let out a gasp, the breath forced from her body by the impact. Alabaster thrust a blade into her shoulder and rolled to the side, leaping about her as the meta struggled to stand. Before long she was entirely cocooned in long purple ribbons. The woman tried to produce as much fire as she could... but her hand exploded in a ball of fire, and there was nothing but a stump. She let out screams as she finally fell unconscious. [hr] With the two REAPERs defeated, incapaciated by the Metahumans, and bound with Cindy's glass manipulation, the fight died down. The dust settled, and revealed the extent of the damage done to the beach. Misplaced sand, shattered glass and scattered ice litered the battlefield. There was blood, destruction, and pain all over the place. Reed had pulled Gabe out from under the trailer and left him at their car, making a call for a paramedic over the radio. The group had gathered. Meifeng stood triumphantly over the woman, putting on foot on her shoulder. "Well, that was not how I expected this night would go." She shrugged, scratching the back of her neck as she examined the group. Sporting an awkward smile on her face. "... And I didn't expect that I had [i]super friends[/i]." Though, one of their friends was wearing a VPD vest. "Hey, you a cop?" She pointed at Reed, and asked him. Even though it was pretty obvious - but she had another plan. "You can, uh, clean all this up, right?" She asked again. "Because me and my friends here are going to get the [i]hell[/i] outta here. So, please don't mention we were here or anything." She tried to feign confidence, or a carefree attitude.... but she knew that the second this reached Lihua, her ass would get beat. Jen raised her eyebrow, and stared right at Meifeng. "... You know it'd take NEST like [i]five[/i] minutes to connect us to this? Even if he doesn't mention us in his report?" She kept eye-contact with her friend. "[i]Pttf![/i]" Meifeng tried to brush it off. "How many people saw us? They were running for their lives!" "... What about all the evidence?" Jen made a note of all the glass, ice, and water that could easily be tracked back to them. She didn't know if there was DNA or anything within it, but she knew that anyone worth their salt could narrow it down. "Know how many Metahumans can control glass? Or [i]water?![/i] It'd be like-" Meifeng said. Reed glanced towards the debris strewn across the beach, then to them. "Look, I can't promise anything but I'll see what I can do. I need to make sure my colleague gets treated ASAP. If you're going, do it now. I made a call for backup not long ago. Just... make sure those two can't escape, I don't know how things would've gone if you hadn't been there. Thanks." He reaffirmed them with a knowing look of gratitude and offered out a hand to shake. "Hehe... Your welcome. Just lending a hand to make sure nobody gets hurt." Meifeng said shaking Reed's hand firmly. Before she let go. Looks like he's one of the cool VPD coppers in this city. Though, right now, she was fairly concerned with getting out of here. "Well, you heard him." Meifeng said, turning around to face her friends. "Everyone coo'?" She asked. Cindy and Trevor hoisted Lucille over to the group. Cindy brushed some sand from over her forehead. Well, shit was crazy. Parts of her body were still glass, but she was more focused on getting the hell out of there. She looked around for a moment, and caught the very end of the conversation with Reed. "Yeah... I think, girl." Cindy replied. "Thanks, sir." She forced a cordial tone. "That glass should hold them..." She wondered for a moment how the hell Meifeng expects to cover this up. Especially with the glass that [i]has[/i] to come from Cindy. "Dunno about Lucy, but I'm feeling like a million bucks!" Trevor said, a jovial smile on his face. He was just happy that he didn't get his ass kicked for once. Though, it was scary how REAPER attacked a party like this. Well, whatever happens, happens. They better scatter before NEST and the VPD arrive. "Alright, let's get-" Before Meifeng could finish, she caught eye of a flash of blue light, obscured diamond dust and cold air. The Boss, a woman with blonde-hair, and blue eyes, appeared before the downed REAPER and raised her fingers into the air. "Wait, [b][i]Snowblind[/i][/b], no!" The man pleaded. Not a word reached her, because she simply jammed her fingers forward and poked him in the forehead. Right between the eyes. He let out a horrific scream as he started shaking. His body converted into clear ice. Before she released, and he was nothing but a fine ice sculpture. "[i]Oh shit![/i]" Cindy shouted, recoiling her hand. She started turning sand into glass to defend herself. "[i]Who the he- what the hell?![/i]" Meifeng mouthed the words, pulling water out of her pocket dimension. Ready to attack. Reed drew his sidearm yet again, anticipating another firefight. Snowblind, as the REAPER called her, turned to the woman. She then turned transparent, a blue color, her body taking the appearance of a flim. She was surrounded by diamond dust and cold air as she floated forward. Leaving behind a frozen afterimage with each movement. Rushing right through the group - who had to move out of the way. However, Meifeng didn't move an inch. She stood right in Snowblind's path, water ready. When she got close, Meifeng let out a loud roar as she spun around, and swung the water at her. It didn't have the effect she was hoping - the woman was apparantly frozen, while the rest of the water went right around her. "Hehe... Got you there." Meifeng grinned wickedly. Cindy gathered all the glass she had created, and pointed it at Snowblind, poised to attack. Reed aimed his weapon at her, searching for a vulnerability. "Hands behind your head, this won't end well for you!" "... Annoying." Snowblind said, as her body turned into flesh. "You're protecting the very people that were just trying to kill you. That's a little odd, don't you think." "Yeah! We already kicked their asses! That means you don't have to [i]kill[/i] them." Meifeng answered. Snowblind wasn't acting like she particularly cared about what Meifeng had to say. She merely started looking at her nails, and casually saying, "I do. They're just a loose end for the [i]Hands[/i] now. They served their purpose well... and so have all of you." However, she was gathering the ice that was set up around the battlefield, and created a blade to stab the woman instead. She'd just need a second. "Wait, you're with those Hands of Science fuckers?" Meifeng asked, pointing at her. "How the hell can you live with yourself doing all this shit to people?" "Eh. Do you really think breaking a few lives will matter in the long run? After we reach our end goal, [i]everyone[/i] benefits." "... Your [i]new age of super science.[/i]" Jen murmured, shaking as she remembered that ghostly speech Heartbreaker gave her. "You must have gotten that speech before." Snowblind smiled. "Yeah, twenty-minutes before your freaks damn-near killed her!" Meifeng shouted, gathering more water out of her pocket-dimension. "Oh, yeah, right. You're one of the kids that broke out and started this whole debacle." Snowblind started sarcastically clapping. "Congratulations. You truthfully are an [i]annoyance[/i]." "You're damn right!" Meifeng shouted again, clenching her fists, and grinded her sneaker in the sand. She was breathing in as she gave Snowblind the evil eye. "And I want to send a message to your mad scientist wannabe motherfuckers; every time you send one of your freaks of nature at me and my friends, I'll fucking rise to the challenge, and win. Every. Single. [i]Time.[/i]" Snowblind raised her eyebrow. Unimpressed. Her blade was just about ready. "... And you're that confident in yourself that you're willing to [i]challenge[/i] an organization far more powerful than yourself?" "Yeah..." Meifeng growled at her. "... And I'm going to start by bringing [i]you[/i] down!" She clenched her teeth, and jumped up into the air, enhanced by her hydrokinesis. She brought her hands back, open like she was holding a weapon. Before she swung it, and the weapons, like a baseball bat. "Wait, Meifeng!" Jen said, throwing her hand up. Cindy had literally no idea what was going on either. [i]Something[/i] happened a few weeks ago, Jen and Meifeng had to be in the center of it. There's just no other explaination. Cindy pulled the glass back so that she didn't hit Meifeng - but shot a few shards at Snowblind that weren't in Meifeng's direct path. "Crap!" Snowblind said underneath her breath- not because of the attack, but because she'd have to drop focus to dodge. She sighed, before she disappeared in a cloud of diamond dust. She appeared back on the ledge she was watching them from. She was about to attack, but.... "Screw it." Snowblind said. "She's nothing but a nobody within the Hands. No one will get anything off her anyway." She threw her hand up. Snowblind disappeared again. This time, out of sight. "... That chick's a [i]real[/i] piece of work." Cindy rolled her eyes, dropping the glass - but she caught it in mid-air, and turned the glass the clear color they're known for. That should make it a little harder to track her back to this shitstorm. "But her rack was great, though." Trevor said, laughing. "... Um, yeah. W-we should really get out of here..." Jennifer noted the police sirens approaching. "Oh shit! Time to go!" Meifeng shouted, before she broke off into a sprint. With her squad behind her, she didn't halt for a second. "See you all later!" As the others trickled away, Reed anticipated the shitstorm of paperwork that'd be flooding his desk for the week. [color=lightgreen]"Well that's done with."[/color] Having retreated away from the chaos of the beachhead, Marcus and Audrey were at the house, checking on Cole, who was fine apart from needing some rest. As the sirens approached the beach, the trio retreated back to their respective homes; Cole riding with Audrey on her scooter, and Marcus on his bike. They went their separate ways, thoughts still racing in their heads about all that had just happened.
