Perhaps it was made more difficult by the bad impression that the girl had left in their initial conflict, so at this point she wasn't inclined to cooperate without question. "The last time I checked, there was no magical girl police force. Besides us anyway," Alicia remarked with a growing frown. Someone was definitely pretentious. Her head was practically on a swivel though as the other girl cut in, the two settling into a fierce and heated debate. She wasn't entirely sure what was going on, but it left her with the impression that it was nothing good. At the same time, the way that this girl carried herself, the way she acted....she was either a very good actor, or she likely was not the one who bore the total culpability for whatever was going on. Perhaps it was the mention of 'we', or the fact that she didn't seem like the kidnapping type. "Alright, hold on," she said after a moment, raising her hand in a 'stop' gesture towards Sammy whilst accompanied by a glare. Only once she had fallen silent did Alicia turn towards the other girl, still keeping up a stern look as she focused on her. "What's this about experimentation and more powers. And who's bankrolling you?" Her foot tapped, an impatient drumming as she crossed her arms over her chest and a finger tapped on her upper arm. She normally wouldn't be this annoyed, but if there was another Justine around then they needed to know now, before something tragic happened. "I'd be quick about it, or else I really will let the gumshoe over there have you."
