Good, this will be fun then. She flipped backward as the edge of the blade came at her midsection. She smiled, [color=CF045A]"Well Mary Poppins, seems you got more tricks up your sleeves than your brainwashed soldiers. Color me impressed."[/color] Ginger sneered, [color=f6989d]"I hate that movie!"[/color] She lunged at her and R0se countered and kicked her feet away as she stumbled forward. Ginger brushed herself off before she started talking to some unknown figure. When she mentioned someone coming after her, an idea in her head clicked. This woman needed to be punished, perhaps death wouldn't be enough. Ginger got off her comm before staring at R0se [color=f6989d]"I need to leave, but I will be damned if I let some bitch take my children from me."[/color] R0se snickered. She'd been called that before, but somehow it made her feel all tingly that this old spinster was doing so. [color=CF045A]"They are not "yours". They are not assets to be gained and used. They are children. However unique their gifts are, they deserve a life."[/color] Ginger shook her head, [color=f6989d]"What life? They would be abused! Sought after! Tested! They are safe here! Or were safe, until your lot showed up and ruined everything!"[/color] R0se merely stared at the woman, [color=CF045A]"The sad thing is...I think you actually believe yourself. I admit, our world is a fucked up place, but there's good in it. I will make sure these children are placed back with their parents if they have them or put into good homes where they can grow up with a normal childhood. You, however, need to be stopped."[/color] Ginger smiled. It sent a small shiver down her spine. She was slowly losing it. [color=f6989d]"What are you going to do? Kill me? Think of the children if they found out."[/color] R0se had to admire her cunning, but she shook her head [color=CF045A]"No, I won't kill you, but your friend might."[/color] Ginger looked shocked, but in that moment, R0se darted forward and cold clocked the woman. She fell instantly. R0se shook her head. Damn, she had a hard head. She did the same thing she did with the crazed man before. She found something to tie her up and placed her in a nearby cloak room. She locked the door and placed a post on the door that read "Present Inside. Do what you will." She imagined the person she was worried about would come looking here. And if all else failed, at least they could bring her to the authorities. Her comm beeped and she answered. [color=f9ad81]"R0se, Willard and I will be evacuating the children. I trust you're handling Madame Ginger quite well?"[/color] She was thankful NERON had Willard safely out. She responded, [color=CF045A]"Yes, she is taken care of. She is locked tight and I believe she has a friend coming to get her that will do more damage than I ever could. I'll meet with you outside."[/color] She tagged Darric, [color=CF045A]"Darric, can you make sure to grab my gear. I never did find where you placed it."[/color] With that, she turned and walked out to meet up with the others. [hr] [@Wick] [@RumikoOhara] [@Necrophage] [@alexfangtalon] [@pugbutter]
