At this point, it was beyond any shadow of a doubt that shit had hit the proverbial fan, but hey, it was already admirable that the squad came as far as they did. Initially, Angel had the inkling that they'd be sussed out right at the porch, but sometimes, it was nice to be proven wrong. [color=ff3838][b]"Yeah that's right! This here is a fucking robbery, so scram if you value your lives!"[/b][/color] Fortunately, the civilian employees - who weren't paid enough to call a bluff from the 'lunatic redhead with a gun' - immediately retreated from the vicinity. Good, the less collateral damage they had to worry about, the better it'd be for everyone involved.

With her aerial form still encased in Orion's neon-green barrier, Angel decided to err on the side of offense more than caution, saturating the first floor with supernatural bullets from her equally-supernatural gun of an esper instrument, forcing most of the mobsters to hunker down behind cover, just as intended. Hey, if she could get a lucky tag here and there, then it'd be nice, but her main priority was to keep them occupied.

As a result, Angel's rambo rampage allowed Cerberus and Witch Hunter to more easily close the distance with their respective targets; Honey Badger for the former and Spades McGraw for the latter, engaging them in melee. Only time would tell how well that'd go...

...and apparently, not [i]too[/i] well as a pair of those devil-touched [i]monsters[/i] finally made themselves known, weretigers, neither tiger, nor man, living insults upon God's creations, abominations deserving nothing more than extermination. [color=ff3838][b]"Oh, shit!"[/b][/color] However, as much as Angel wanted to assist her comrades - and also indulge in a bit of personal vengeance - in culling the feline mutants, Estelle being accosted by Loki meant Spades was free to fight fire with fire, peppering the Messenger of Gunpowder with hails of .45 from his own SMG, the classic Tommy gun. Perhaps as a testament to his skill, he was accurate enough to hit Angel enough times to shatter Orion's shield despite the redhead being a moving target [i]and[/i] partially covered by the massive chandelier. 

[color=ff3838][b]"Tch..."[/b][/color] Okay, [i]now[/i] it's personal. 

For a brief second, Angel's fiery ambers and Spades' sharp golds mutually found each other, and though it lasted barely an iota of passage in the grand scheme of the universe, in that infinitesimal moment, they both understood what they must do, what must transpire.

Furious swirls of golden wind began surrounding Angel's body. This time, she opted to let her defensive Melody protect her while she hovered in place, focusing all of her attention to one thing and one thing only, neutralizing the SMG-wielding mobster. If God wills it, he'd go from sharply-dressed to bullet-ridden very soon.

Thus, without a moment left to spare, the two gunners of opposing sides began furiously exchanging shots, a deadly waltz of bullets backed by the symphony of hammers striking against primers. Time itself seemed to slow down, allowing any would-be universal observer to witness a few of the projectiles clashing mid-air, mutually flattening each other with impunity, while their compatriots blitzed through the air, whizzing past, occasionally shaving a few locks of either red or dark hair, and maybe, just maybe, one or two would be fortunate enough to claim the grand prize of a forever home within the vitals of their respective target.
