Wolf was calmer now, and so Masami's presence didn't put him on edge like it had before. Besides, apparently she knew William.

[color=DarkKhaki]"Wolf. Likewise."[/color] He didn't have the strength to say much more. He was about to take her hand before she got distracted. In that instant, Vera reached out to pull Wolf to his feet herself. Well, she made a show of grabbing his arm, but she wasn't in much better condition and so Wolf still had to do most of the work.

When Masami would look back at them, she'd see Vera giving her a nasty look for daring to try and touch Wolf in front of her...

[color=007236]"Hm, so even at a time like this your mind can go there,"[/color] Vernon chuckled and rolled his eyes at William's comment. He gave Andras a gentle push so that she could rejoin the group. It seemed the fighting was finally all over. From a silly little scuffle with Wolf to an all out battle against Galbrek's dolls and some masked weirdo. [color=007236]"Don't us men already have a bad enough reputation as perverts, dear William?"[/color]

He supposed they had won?

[color=Magenta]"Cool, great, go bang it out then. We're leaving,"[/color] Vera grumbled as she and Wolf joined them, once more clutching at her aching head.

[color=007236]"Just going to run away? You were so brave a minute ago."[/color] Vernon smirked, though winced slightly at the memory of her kneeing him between the legs. Girl didn't hold back.

[color=Magenta]"Screw you. This job isn't worth it!"[/color] Vera snarled. [color=Magenta]"We just got here and already all hell has broken loose, and there's no way we can trust [i]you[/i]! You attacked us twice!"[/color]

[color=007236]"Well maybe if you would just apologi-"[/color] Vernon cut himself off at a sinister glare from Wolf. OK, so maybe that joke had run its course. [color=007236]"Fine then, go tell King you're giving up and see if he can send us someone more helpful."[/color]

[color=Magenta]"Why yo-"[/color] Vera stopped as Wolf put a hand on her shoulder.

[color=DarkKhaki]"We'll stay."[/color] He sighed.

[color=Magenta]"Excuse me?"[/color] Vera grit her teeth. Was he going against her? [color=Magenta]"You wanna say that again? I don't think I heard you right!"[/color]

[color=DarkKhaki]"I said we'll stay,"[/color] he repeated. 

Vera's hand shot out suddenly, gripping his face like a claw, forcing him to look at her.

[color=Magenta]"Idiot! Whose side are you on!? You want to help that idiot and his fucking backstabbing boy toy?"[/color]

Vernon rolled his eyes, [color=007236]"I take offense to that. Clearly William is [i]my[/i] toy-"[/color]

[color=Magenta]"SHUT UP!"[/color] Vera snapped and turned her attention back to Wolf. 

Wolf pulled her hand away, even as it caused her nails to scratch his cheeks, [color=DarkKhaki]"The Vigilantes. You might be right. William's plan might be a huge mistake. Vernon might not be trustworthy. But if Andras is going to be involved with this, then I'm not walking away."[/color] He turned to William. [color=DarkKhaki]"I'm sorry, but if we do stay to help, it's for Andras's sake, not yours. If she at any point backs out, so will we."[/color]

[color=Magenta]"Uuuuuugh..."[/color] Vera groaned and smacked his hand away from hers. [color=Magenta]"I am surrounded by idiots. All you men are idiots."[/color] She took a deep breath and let it out slowly. As much as it burned her up inside, he wasn't wrong. These fools would get that girl killed if they didn't help.

They already almost had.

Regardless, she was mad at Wolf for putting her in this situation, and so stomped away from him. She made her way over to Alex. Andras. Whatever the hell her name was.

[color=Magenta]"Well, [i]lady demon[/i],"[/color] she spoke somewhat mockingly and heavily threw an arm over her shoulders. [color=Magenta]"I guess we'll be getting to know each other [i]real[/i] well, hm? Who knows, maybe we'll even end up as besties."[/color] The wry smirk that spread across her face told that she didn't believe a word she'd just said. However, Andras would notice something. The way Vera sort of leaned into her, it was impossible not to notice how badly she was starting to shake. Between nearly [i]dying[/i], getting thrown clear by Wolf, and getting blasted in the head by Vernon, she wasn't in the best of ways. The wound on her forehead was still seeping blood, blood that had long since been smeared across her face and soaked into her shirt, dying nearly half of it red.

Meanwhile, Wolf wasn't doing much better. He had been thrown too, but only because the car had actually hit him. With his armor gone and the adrenaline fading, it was impossible to ignore how messed up he and Vera were.

He patted himself down, but his phone was missing. Then he remembered Vera had never given it back.

[color=DarkKhaki]"Vera, you still have my phone?"[/color] he asked.

[color=Magenta]"Yes. And you still have no friend requests. On anything,"[/color] Vera rolled her eyes and tossed it to him.

[color=DarkKhaki]"That's not..."[/color] Wolf shook his head and just ignored her comment. He went through his contacts, which didn't take long. He barely had ten. There was one in particular he could really use right now as the throbbing in his ribs only got worse. He was also pretty sure it was getting harder and harder to breathe. 

Whether she answered or he got voicemail, Wolf spoke, [color=DarkKhaki]"Hey... Meredith. Um, hope you weren't sleeping."[/color] Andras would have been able to practically [i]feel[/i] Vera's animosity the second Wolf spoke that name. [color=DarkKhaki]"I could... use your help. I think I'm bleeding internally. I'm [i]probably[/i] not dying, but... can you come to the park?"[/color]
