[b][u]Abandoned Atrium (Back) - Ravenbrook, NY[/u][/b]

[indent]The first guard had fallen to Sarah's ambush with trivial effort on her part, his back meeting the ground with a hard thud and a painful sounding crack along the spine. With her adversary still in a state of shock, Sarah added some insurance with a Chi-enhanced right cross to his head. She looked down upon the unconscious sentry, somewhat and surprised and entirely disappointed at how little it had taken; she had expected a proper fight. Promptly, and quickly, she assessed the guard's equipment, noting that he had been heavily armed; a semi-automatic rifle stood out to her as it slid from the watchman's loosening grip. Assured that her jump on him hadn't drawn any attention, she leaned in and carefully pried the gun out from his fingers. She had never been one for firearms, as her powers usually accomplished enough to compensate for their absence. However, she didn't sit well with the idea that this guard would wake up and return her favor with a bullet through the back of her head; if she had it, then he wouldn't and if push came to shove, she wasn't opposed to pulling the trigger herself. 

The weapon in hand, finger kept away from the trigger to avoid an untimely discharge, she checked around the corner towards the Atrium. She caught sight of a second guard before pulling back behind the wall of crates. Keeping the rifle gripped in her left hand, she gathered energy into the palm of her right hand. Estimating that she had enough, she rounded the corner, throwing her right hand forward. The [color=orange][u]Chi Projection[/u][/color], barely visible to the naked eye, broke through the air on a course for the second guard's chest. Sarah followed in its wake, brandishing her acquired armament with intent to use it if necessary. If she had understood the lay of the land from Baker, she would eventually find the gang's leader, Weeping Willow.[/indent]
