The sole reason that Valkyrie didn't even think of dumping kerosene on top of those green locks were the established fact that her esper form only lasted [s]thirty seconds[/s] a couple minutes, and the last fight sure lasted a hell lot more than a couple minutes; every second she could save for Justin was worth it to the point where sacrificing a few lives was still the better option in the long run. [color=ff991c][b]"Sooner or later, we'll find that fake nun and end her heresy, the fact that she and Silhouette seemed to know each other should help to track her down."[/b][/color] But Lenore was but a small obstacle to the real meat of this operation, that being purging Justin's existence, [color=ff991c][b]"Tiger Tony the human trafficker monster apparently had half a brain since he escaped the moment we culled more than half of his pack, but hopefully this bloodsucker is too arrogant for that."[/b][/color] The ostentatious decor of his godforsaken home seemed to imply this was the case. Twas' not only Binky who had an apathetic expression to the death and destruction around them, a common occurrence amongst people in jobs that involved witnessing grievous harm and death on a regular basis really, being too sensitive in this line of work wouldn't be good for you, just look at Orion. [color=ff991c][b]"Took the words right out of my mouth, we shall not let these innocents' deaths be in vain. The more we delay, the more this world has to suffer his presence, let's go."[/b][/color] She nodded firmly at Veronica's Punching Bag as the agents made their way deeper into the mansion, inching ever closer to the inner sanctum. ...or so they would if not for a slight delay when Leroux suggested the idea of using Lada's hemomancy to 'top up' their mana, something Valkyrie honestly hoped would work as well, but unfortunately, the facts said otherwise; worse than being a high risk high reward gamble, the gimmick wouldn't do much for an esper, merely wasting Lada's mana for meager returns. Well, at least there was no harm suggesting it. The discussion finished, the septet marched onward. .......... ..... ... Entering another open chamber of the cursed mansion, just like before, Valkyrie subconsciously tuned out all of the superficial decorations: the tiled floors, furniture, sculpture of bestiality, and everything else that wasn't relevant to the mission, they would all be burned down soon anyway. What caught her immediate attention was the distinct larger-than-life presence of Billy Black, monster and leader of the terrorist organization dubbed 'Maverick Alternative'. Well, him and his cohorts, most of which Valkyrie could recognize, either through intel or recent experience; Tetrad, a maverick esper (Read: terrorist), and the rest... freelancers, from the Cobra Gang operation; that oriental ice queen, the faceless chiseled douchebag, and... what was a [i]child[/i] doing here with them? Hooo... roping even children into his cause, that was to be expected from a lawless organization led by a literal [i]monster![/i] [color=ff991c][b]"..."[/b][/color] Valkyrie's orange eyes subtly narrowed with the callous hatred that she pretty much reserved for all monsters and espers who took their side, no exceptions. Her trigger finger was itchy to take a shot at Billy, but her sense of self-preservation - fueled by her knowledge of Billy's might - kept her in line. Hearing Binky's exchanges with him made her mentally roll her eyes, Justin and Billy, there was little distinction between them, both of them do [i]NOT[/i] belong here on god's good earth. They all should return to the shithole where they came from and stay there, that or just perish really. Frustratingly at the moment, she didn't have the power to assert that ultimatum, but one day... Right now, she could settle with thinning out his herd; the less brainwashed fools flocking under the wendigo monster, the better this world would be. As for the freelancers, well, as said before, they had made their choice and if they decided to go against the law, then the law would fight back, nothing personal. It took barely any convincing from Breacher's sign language for Valkyrie to go with the plan. The moment Su moved, the brunette did the same, sprinting to take position behind the armoire on the opposite side of Tetrad's. See, there was this dilemma about going up against the railgun esper, unlike Breacher's hand cannon, Teslic Gauss cared naught for the presence of mundane cover. Valkyrie triangulated Tetrad's exact position based on sight and sound, aimed, and fired three sabots at her in that specific order; each of them would punch through the closet as if it didn't exist, then if all went well, they should puncture through the card-carrying bitch's vital organs. Whether she'd die instantly or painfully, it didn't matter, for as long as they ceased living.
