Valentina's dead stare turned into a squint as soon as she figured out what Zoe's surprise was. A ramp?! How was she going to be able to take such a ramp? The motorcycle was 443 lbs, and Valentina was less than a third of that. It was going to be tough for her to keep it together, especially on impact. She wasn't even sure if this motorcycle could take the impact. In either case, however, she wasn't going to back down from a challenge. There was no way she was going to back down from Zoe Mercier. Not while there was a challenge like that. Hopefully her motorcycle would make it through, she wasn't entirely interested in having to repair it again, nor was she particularly interested in flying off a ramp with the bike, as a matter of fact.

As she tore down the road, she was still debating on whether or not she was going to take the ramp. On one hand, it would've been sick. But on the other, given how much ground she had on Zoe and how much faster she was, she was wondering if she could beat Zoe there without flying in the air. Valentina didn't have a BASE rig on, so there was no way that she was going to be able to get away from the bike without breaking a bone or a few dozen. Valentina had no idea that this was even happening. All she knew was that she was going to be going for a ride like always. 

"Tell you what... we'll see who gets there first, eh? You can go fly and I'll go ride!" Valentina figured it was probably better this way, considering that if Zoe was successful, that bike was going to be toast and Zoe was gonna need a way back home. Valentina had enough confidence in her skill to believe that she could beat a flying bike. Could she actually do it? Nobody knew, but the confidence was good.

Ellie sighed again, brushing a lock of hair behind her ear, tucking it away so that it wouldn't get in the way. The Scot couldn't help but to giggle a little bit at Seb's white comment. Yeah, he had a point. "It looks cool. It's not like it matters now. Laundry is a thing, Seb." She laughed. Ellie gave him a light tap on the arm, doing it in jest. But he was right. Ellie was feeling tired out. Usually she had a lot more energy than this, but right now things were just slowing down and she wanted to take some time to herself and settle down. 

"Yeah.. I'm a bit tired." She smiled, before deciding to sit back on the ground completely. Thudding against the soft dirt and foliage, she sighed again. "I think.. I don't know... I think I'd like to slow down a bit. I just... I'm just tired, Seb, y'know?" She asked, staring up at the sky.

"...what am I doing here?" Athena asked, turning around, "Bird-watching." She faced the big, muscular man who was staring at her menacingly. It was about as thinly veiled of a lie as any, and they both knew that it wasn't going to work. The man rolled his eyes and tried to grab at Athena, but she quickly caught a hand and positioned her other hand behind the big man's leg. Putting a leg onto his hip, and the other behind his other leg, she quickly pulled her leg and other arm in, tripping him and allowing her to get forward and right onto him. With the sheer speed and timing of the move she managed to get on top of him in no time whatsoever. 

Before he could even struggle, Athena got into full mount, sitting on his hips and putting an arm under one his sprawled out arms, before putting her head underneath and sprawling out. Rotating out, she quickly applied leverage and torque onto him, cutting off the blood to his brain and knocking him out in no time. Once he stopped movie, she stood up, turning around to take a look at whether or not other people had caught on.

She thought she was in the clear momentarily before a bullet hit a tree not too far away from her. "Shit!" She muttered, reaching into her pants and pulling out her pistol. She was definitely compromised now, and if she didn't act fast, she was going to lose the trio. However, it was a dilemma considering these trees were the only cover she had and if she stepped out, she was going to be [i]fucked.[/i] She needed to think. Fast. But, what could she do? Keeping her pistol close to her body, she took a brief moment to decide on her course of action. Three Glocks shooting at her in a position like this wasn't entirely ideal, after all.
