Abel's mind screamed for him to move at the same time he saw a ball of energy shoot towards him. He dove away from the building at the same time the rubble he had hidden behind was obliterated. His heart began to pound harder than it had ever beaten before. He had been in this new world long enough to know when someone was firing a warning shot at him. He still believed his instincts would have saved him from death had the bird man actually aimed at him, but he doubted he would have remained unscathed as the blast moved faster than anything he had ever seen before. He glanced up and saw that enough of the rubble still remained to keep him hidden from view, but his location was compromised.

The bird man yelled for Able to come out from his hiding place. Abel was very certain that whatever that amazing weapon the bird man had was still aimed in his general direction. "No thank you! We're all good here!" Abel shouted out as he army crawled to the next bit of cover he could find. He laid there for a few seconds accessing his situation. He could possibly hop from cover to cover and avoid the metal monstrosity. However, if he took to the sky, Abel doubted his chances for survival. 

"Fuck." Abel cursed to himself. "Alright, alright!" He yelled, slowing standing up. His arms in a surrender position, but still holding the machine gun. "I'm just a scavenger friend." He said trying to figure out his next move. He decided to stand still, thinking approaching him would be seen as aggression and retreating might signal some sort of predatory instinct in the man and he'd shoot Abel in the back. Because, that's what Abel would do. "So, I'ma, just, go then? Sound good?" Abel said questioningly. "It sure does. Good luck with all your genocide or whatever it is you've got going on. Big fan, by the way." He then tentatively raised a foot to take a step back.
