When Lihko came over and helped lift the wall just enough for them to escape, Ryu took Blackbird under his arm and squeezed out from beneath the ruins. "Thank you." Now standing, he held Blackbird in his arms, bridle style, keeping her close. "We should go help the others." 

[i]"We're okay!"[/i] Hex had pushed the pile of rubble off of himself and Blade and was now standing with her at his side. [i]"At least, she is, heh..."[/i] He placed his hand on the back of his head, smiling and chuckling. This caused him to wince and clutch his side. [i]"No, no, wait. I'm fine, honestly."[/i]

Ryu raised a brow at Hex who was now being tended to by Blade who seemed overly concerned about someone who she was supposed to oppose. "Riiight... If you say so, man." In his arms Blackbird began to stir, he looked down at her with his brows knitted together in worry. "Hey there, pretty birdy, you feeling okay?" His attempt at joking didn't seem to phase her, she opened her eyes slowly and didn't seem to have heard him. 

[i]"Wh...what?"[/i]

"Wh...what?" Her voice was naught but a whisper. After a moment the teenager realized that she was being held, but unlike her normal self, she didn't seem to mind. "Lihko... what happened to the girl?" Blackbird turned her head toward the vigilante she had been speaking too. "She must be here somewhere right?" It had occurred to her how awkward it was speaking to someone from someone else's arms. "Ryu put me down, I'm fine now." 

[i]"If you say so, doll."[/i] Gently he set the girl down onto her feet and brushed her shoulders off a little bit. [i]"There, good as new."[/i]

There was no doubt in her mind the girl had escaped, if she was in the rubble she would have emerged by now right? There was always reason to double check. Blocking out the obnoxious sounds of the panicked city, Blackbird held out both hands in front of her, her hands glowed black and most of the rubble began to take on the same aura and floated up into the air. "She's not here..."

"/That/ was a demonstration of power, my friend. Or you know part of a hunt. Not quite sure yet." He said to Lihko.

His heightened senses were irritating him. The sounds were louder for him than any one else, the dust in the air agitated his sensitive nose and he could almost taste it when he breathed in. Now clutching his side he realized just how hurt he was, landing so hard may have caused him to fracture a rib or two, however he cared not as long as his girl was okay. She seemed mostly unharmed besides a few scrapes and bruises. "If it were quieter I could hear her. Talking, breathing, walking. Anything. but it's so damn loud" It was beginning to take a toll on his head giving him a massive headache. "Ughhh." He groaned once more and place his free hand on the side of his head in pain. "Blade can we get out of here now."

[i]"Not until you return what you've stolen!!"[/i] Ryu spoke aggressively toward Hex. 

"Hey calm down hot head, it's just a gift for my girlfriend, I was gonna pay for it later on." 

Blade's eyes widened a bit and she looked away. [i]"So um... you have a girlfriend, eh?"[/i]

"Of course I do!" He smiled at her.

"Look, Ryu. I'll take care of this one when the time comes, but right now we need to find Aya." It was obvious from Blackbird's search that Aya was no where to be found in the wreckage. [i]If what Leon says is true, this was done by his father or sister... maybe even the Healer or all three of them, this is bad...[/i]

"This wasn't an accident."

[i]"Of course not."[/i] Blackbird had set down all the rubble and now turned to face them all. [i]"If not the Healer then someone else did this. A person one of us here knows."[/i] Her eyes shot toward Hex. 

[i]"You're saying /they/ did this? How would you know that if I don't."[/i]

[i]"I think you do, Hex."[/i]

[i]"Well if it was who I think it was we all better get out of here before we get sniped."[/i]
