Daniel waited off to the side, he watched as another hero launched some kind of energy attack, and as one of the fliers from earlier finally joined the fight. He had a feeling he should recognize the two, even if they were villains, but for now he would need their help, so he stayed his hand, and brought back his attention to his original prey. Although he had ‘joined’ he had still done nothing, which made his knife grow impatient again, and the drumming began to slowly beat in his head.

[i]You’re right, they haven’t seen us yet. They don’t know he’s ours[/i]. Daniel thought to himself, or maybe it was his knife.

He eyed the fight carefully as the Splatterer and the angel grappled with each other, the former demonstrated some skill in CQC, skill he didn't look like he had initially. Daniel continued to wait, even as the Splatterer blew off a part of the angel's skin, Daniel expected some bloodshed, but there wasn't any, maybe this new villain could end up being helpful after all. But the angel looked like he might have bit off more than he could chew, and Daniel would need him alive longer if he was going to claim the Splatterers’ life. 

Daniel burst out into a sprint towards the Splatterer, he ignited the energy vents on his body, and swiped his arm down at the Splatterer’s legs to knock him down, or at least help confuse him long enough for the other to get away. If the Splatterer got knocked down Daniel considered backing off immediately, no point diving into this kind of a fight if you were the only one up, but if he himself got caught in a counterattack he'd have to rely on a trick to save himself.
