[indent][indent][indent][color=dcdcdc][color=CAE1FF]"It seems you still haven't learned, child."[/color]

Everyone turned to the older police officer, who seemed to be avoiding everyone else in the room except for Katharsis. She got ready for another fight. On the other hand, Holly tried to get the officer's attention, but he still focused on Katharsis. So, she went in front of him. [color=87979E]"Hey! Leave her alone!"[/color]

The officer chuckled. [color=CAE1FF]"I don't care about you and your friends. I'm here for her."[/color]

[color=87979E]"You shouldn't undermind us."[/color] Holly held her ground while Lonnie and Miguel stood beside her. The officer smiled as he pulled out his baton and started swinging it around. [color=CAE1FF]"I admire your bravery, but you lack the manners to mind your own business."[/color]

Both Holly and Miguel was hit hard enough to fall down while Loonie managed to dodge the swing. The officer kept on trying to land a blow, but he wasn't fast enough. Loonie managed to hit him on the face, which left an impression on him. [color=CAE1FF]"Not bad, kid. Where are you from?"[/color]

[color=873946]"Why do you care?[/color]

[color=CAE1FF]"You aren't a Gothamite, right?"[/color] the officer managed to catch him off guard long enough to repeatedly beat his chest until he fell to the ground. [color=CAE1FF]"Well, I dealt with brats like you before. It took a few hits before they learned."[/color]

Katharsis landed a sucker punch before the office was able to land another blow. It caused the officer to drop his baton while he stumbled around. She stood in front of Loonie and called out the officer, [color=AA94BE]"Are you that afraid to attack everyone else but me, Whitt?"[/color]

Officer Whitt struggled to keep his emotions under control. He turned his focus on Katharsis and began attacking her. While the two of them started fighting, Loonie knew for a fact that his ribs were broken. Holly, with a nasty cut on her arm, called out to him for assistance with Miguel, slowly regaining consciousness. Despite the pain, he went over and attempted to help out. Holly glanced over at Katharsis, who was still standing against Whitt.

Katharsis managed to disarm him and briefly used the baton against him, knocking out a few teeth. Whitt grew angrier and charged at her with all of his strength, managing to tackle her to the ground. She tried to escape, but it proved difficult as the officer started choking her. Holly and Loonie made their way to stop him before it was too late. Despite their efforts, the officer was too strong to be pulled even with all of their strength. Whitt smacked at Loonie's chest, causing him to fall out for the pain, and kept on chocking Katharsis while avoiding Holly's desperate attempt. 

Suddenly, Holly's entire body began changing to a bright red to the surprise of Katharsis. Whitt didn't notice until he felt her pulling him off and turned to see... her. Without a word, Holly threw him to the other side of the room. He landed hard enough to leave behind an impression of his body on the floor. It was clear that he had lost, but she wasn't done with him. Holly approached him, grabbed his right arm, and broke it. Whitt screamed out loud and gawked at her with hatred. She then grabbed his neck and said, [color=C94447]"That was a message. You'll not harm us or anyone else again. Do you understand?"[/color]

Whitt stared at her and only responded with a [color=CAE1FF]"fuck off."[/color] But being the better person, Holly let go of his neck and left him alone as she was gradually turning back to normal. Katharsis watched with glee and had thought of kicking Whitt in the balls for chocking her. But, she heard the sirens and made her way towards the others. Holly almost lost her balance, but she managed to regain her footing. There wasn't enough time to react to whatever that was. She turned to Katharsis and asked for help with Lonnie while she tried to wake Miguel up. 

Fortunately, he finally woke up and wondered what happened. Holly helped Miguel off of the ground and asked to help out Katharsis. She went down the stairs and outside to get the van. Meanwhile, the pair managed to lift Loonie carefully up and started walking. Whitt made one last attempt to stop them, but he was unable to get up. He watched as the trio disappeared for his sights, causing him to yell in anger. 

Outside, Roshanna got out of the van to help out the others after she parked it. Drew, who was treating Holly's cut, felt incredibly guilty for sending them in. She should've known that Officer Whitt would've shown up if Katharsis was caught. Holly remained silent, trying to figure out what happened with her powers until she couldn't keep it to herself any longer. [color=87979E]"I think there's more to my powers."[/color]

Drew was caught off guard by the statement. [color=217D68]"What do you mean?"[/color]

Abruptly, Katharsis opened the van door while she, Roshanna, and Miguel carefully placed Loonie inside. She made her way to the driver seat and started driving away. Drew waited for an answer, but she was called for assistance by Roshanna. Holly turned away for her and inspected the bandage on her hand. Katharsis glanced at her and thanked her, [color=AA94BE]"Thanks for helping me back there. For a second, I thought my life was over."[/color]

[color=87979E]"It wasn't a problem. You would've done the same."[/color]

[color=AA94BE]"Probably."[/color] Katharsis was looking at the rear mirror for any signs of police cars. [color=AA94BE]"Say, why were you glowing red?"[/color]

[color=87979E]"I honestly don't know, but it could have something to do with my powers."[/color]

[color=AA94BE]"Powers? So, she went thought with my plan after all..."[/color]

[color=87979E]"Your plan? Wait, you were-"[/color] Holly stopped herself when she heard police sirens and saw two police cars chasing after them. Katharsis shifted her focus to her surroundings and entered an alley, hoping to escape them. [/color][/indent][/indent][/indent]
