She'd been told to take Moss to Lauren and obey her orders from there, true enough, but... Didn't seem quite right, leaving Ben to go to the roof alone. Oh well, at least his virgin level would protect him. Amy helped the other woman down the stairs and to the cafeteria, making sure to keep her eyes and ears open. Nothing on the way down, which was odd and didn't sit well. Moss got there safe, but before she reported to Lauren... She dialed her semblance up, listening upward.

[I]THUMP![/I]

With an audible sound and a roar, something hit the roof. Something big.

"Sangue!" She shouted, her shield rattling out of her sleeve. "If you hear me call, come running."

[I]Sorry for the insubordination, Cap. Never did like being the submissive one.[/I]

Her eyes didn't seem soft blue anymore-they had a predatory gleam, her feathers bristling at the Manticore's presence. As far as the animal side of her was concerned, the beast had just stepped into her territory and was trying to make a meal of her and everyone else nearby. She stepped up to be at the right of her captain, shield covering their left flank, for all the good it would do. She aimed the spear's point at the creature-

[I]This was it, this was right-[/I]

And suddenly, all her feathers slicked back as she released a shrill scream, the sound of a hawk sighting its prey.
