The sisters however seemed to react quite aggressively about the tall firefighter getting bottled in the head. Her staggered state didn't allow her to react in time to catch Marinalia from elbowing a girl, but she did try to stumble in front of the pepper spray and held up her arms. It was too late to try and block it from everyone, but she still some brunt of it. Which might of been the best idea considering it burned like ever living flames of a volcano against the opened injury on her head. Body ever so slightly shaking as her gloved hands clenched into tight fists as she tried to deter the several different pains coursing through her body. Teeth clenching behind closed lips, she put a hand on Marinalia's shoulder and another on a furious drunk woman. Gently, but firmly pushing them apart. Forcing when needed to get the large cat fight under control, which was difficult and little to success by the fact that there were several scratches of nails against her arms. A man and a pair walked over to scold the girls, Ashton turning to them and gave the same reassuring smile and waving her hands. She didn't want them to get involved and possibly hurt. Even though her smiling face was covered in a good portion of fresh blood. Staining her dirty blonde locks and sliding along the scars. Soon after a woman shouted out and she felt Alex grab her wrist, attempting to lead her to a seat while a woman tried to seem to give the tall woman medical aid. Ashton resisted being pulled aside, despite feeling a bit more light headed and running a bit more on will power and instinct at this point. Instead slowly shaking her head a bit and putting a hand on them, urging them away from the situation. She understood the concern, but she didn't want to risk them getting hurt. Alex's words simply caused Ashton to give him a warm smile. It was hard to explain really. Yes, she knew that she perhaps shouldn't get involved in matters like this. Marine told her that plenty. But she couldn't stand by and just let things happen. Especially to friends. Especially to people who are misunderstood. People who in reality, just need to know that there are people who are willing to look out for them, no matter what. Maybe she was stupid and ran head first into things.... but she wanted to follow her heart in doing what she felt was right. These were things that... were difficult to explain so she just smiled at him, placing a hand on her heart before pressing it against his gently. A simple touch, but one she hope got something through. Police arrived and was soon trying round up everyone. Ashton waved her hands as a officer went up to her, before holding up her index finger. Quickly placing two hundred dollars on the bar counter in front of the bartender to pay for some damages and the problems. As the absolute worry and adrenaline of keeping people safe died a bit down, Ashton realized that she could see some blood drip from her eyebrow. It reminded her...... Ashton could feel her throat tighten at the memory, as she stumbled a bit as she was handcuffed. She was losing focus now that she was sure the police could handle breaking everything up with ease. It burned. Marine's going to be mad... Despite how desperately her body wanted to just shut down and pass out from the sudden trauma it endured, she stumbled into a van and more or less, passed out once she sat down. It was going to be a long night. As it was. These things she was sadly a bit used to.
