Caty was glad Danny decided not to fight her on this. She couldn't worry about her little brother. She just had to be sure he was safe. For now she had her own safety to worry about. She was about to face a professional assassin with nothing more than a theory and a sense of danger. Which was ringing intensely at the moment. Why was it ringing? She quickly looked up to see a blur that soon materialized into a full figure directly in front of her. [color=0244FB][i]"Oh. That's why."[/i][/color] Caty didn't know how he had gotten there that fast. Did he have powers to? When and how did he get them? She didn't have the time to wory about that now. She had to move or do something fast.

The gunman wouldn't give her a chance. He pulled his right arm in and swung it back out hitting Caty in the abdomen. He sent her flying into the wall but stopped short enough of sending her through it. Caty yelped out in pain as her back hit the wall. She slid down to the floor and realized that she wasn't hurt at all. She know she felt her back hit the wall and his arm hit her stomach, but the pain wasn't there. She'd check for any bruising later, but right now she was sure she was fine. Did she gain some kind of enhanced durability? And how enhanced was it? Was she bulletproof? She wasn't so sure she wanted to test that theory today.

She stood to her feet still feeling completely fine. [color=0244FB]"They sent you, didn't they? Why are you doing this? We're just kids."[/color]

He didn't seem to care about that. Her head started ringing again and she noticed he was starting to aim his gun at her. He started firing before she could even move. Instead of just one he shot off six. She felt a strange sensation in her eyes and the world around her seemed to slow just slightly. She could see the bullets and the paths they were following. She could see more than that. She could see how to dodge them and deliver a counterattack. Caty pushed off the ground and into the air before spinning above the projected paths. She landed on the ground before quickly transitioning into a flip. She sent one foot crashing down towards his gun hand and the second down towards his head.

He lifted both hands in response taking the brunt of both of her legs. The force caused him to drop the gun, but he had Caty stuck. He grabbed her ankle with his left hand and tossed her through the wall behind them.

When the dust cleared Caty found herself in a pile of rubble with a hazy head. Her eyes didn't show her that happening. Just who the Hell was this guy? Her head started to clear and she noticed some nurses, orderlies, and other assorted medical staff around her. So much for not causing a panic. This was going to turn bad fast. Her head started to ring once again. [color=0244FB]"Oh, right. Still fighting him. Well fighting would be a strong word in my case."[/color]

She turned her head forward to see him standing above her. He reached down and grabbed her by the throat and lifted her into the air like it was nothing. He applied pressure to her neck making it difficult for her to breathe.

Most of the staff was frozen in fear and worry for themselves and for Caty. She noticed this and focused on their safety over hers. [color=0244FB]"Run... Please..."[/color] She wanted them to leave while his attention was still on her. Some of the staff took off immediately prompting the others to follow suit.
