Wait a minute... Is Ironsight blind or not?
Also, I forgot Mina used to be Mason's girlfriend. xD

Yan giggled when Mina poked her stomach and asked about the demons she had absorbed. "That's a secret, but if you want to know..." She leaned in close to the other demoness, smiling seductively as she did. "You'll have to persuade me over dinner and wine." A finger ran down Mina's side as Yan pulled back, before turning straight to the other Titan on the couch as if she had not just openly flirted in front of him.
"Nice to see you too, Viran."
Hikari was on her way to the mansion when one her tablet alerted her to a potential crime in progress. She had hijacked the traffic cameras and such in the town, and they had managed to pick up a few thugs drawing on someone. Hikari cursed as she kicked her bike into full speed and raced towards where the thugs had been spotted. She parked in an alley before hurried changing into her gear, glad that she never wore dresses or skirts when riding.
It didn't take her long to pick up the trail, and locate where the gangsters were. She grimaced when she heard the unmistakable sounds of blows landing on flesh and the grunts of pain from whoever it was they were torturing. Wait. The voice of their victim sounded familiar. Ironsight. She'd cross paths with him only once before, but there was no way she could mistake that voice. She had been keeping tabs on the Sentinels and him especially, as a fellow archer. He had skill with a bow and could handle himself in a fight, so how he was taken hostage, she did not know. Gangsters weren't known for being able to handle themselves that well.
No matter, she needed to get to him, and fast. She didn't want to tip off the enemies inside until she had a good idea of what she was dealing with, so instead of blowing the doors open, Nightingale picked the lock and snuck in, weaving through the dark walkways and using her superior senses to get a feel of the opposition. It seemed most of them were busy with Ironsight and had only melee weapons. That made her job easy.
She picked a nice vantage point from where she could fire without being seen. Ironsight had excellent hearing, but in his current condition Nightingale wondered if he would pick up on the sound of her bow drawn and take the hint. She fired the shot, opting not to use her elemental arrows and going for fear factor over fire power. There was a loud grunt of pain as the brass knuckle going for the boy's face was pierced by her first shot. The rest were quick to panic. She could hear curses as the gangsters forgot about their entertainment for the time being and fanned out away from Ironsight while they tried to find Hikari.
Good luck with that.
The cries were getting louder and more fearful every time Hikari fired and someone fell. She was going for non-lethal shots, but watching one's friends screaming in pain and writhing on the floor from the arrows buried in their shoulders, legs or arms weren't exactly morale boosters. The greater the din they made, the easier it was for her to mask her movement and shots.
There were five left when one of the gangster finally managed to find the light switch and turn it on. It didn't matter - Hikari was high above them on a support beam when she jumped down and hit the light-switcher over the head with her bow, landing gracefully as the rest turned around and faced her. "Brave enough to pick on one lone guy in a group but scared shitless by a girl." Nightingale mocked them, giggling childishly. "You idiots should be ashamed of yourselves."
"Yeah, well let's see how brave you are without that bow of yours." One of them challenged.
"Very well." Nightingale acquiesced to the challenge and placed her bow on her back. "Just as well that the rest of your boys are too busy plucking out those arrows I put in them, wouldn't want them to see you getting beat up by a girl."
It was over in a flash. There were only four of them and they were scared shitless. Not to mention the idiots forgot one thing - she had armour on. Landing her steel boot in the first attacker's groin put him out of commision. A gauntleted fist to the ribs cracked them for the second attacker and remaining two were still trembling they didn't move to back up the first two when they attacked. "You can run or I can send you to the hospital like your friends here. Choose."
The idiots chose wisely. Nightingale walked over to the chained up archer and sighed. "You owe me a date for this one." She joked, as she released him from the chains. "Somewhere fancy and expensive." They did a number on the blind archer, but it seemed there wasn't any damage that was too critical. She helped the battered archer over to some crates and sat him down, before calling for the police.
"Is your team nearby? You don't look like you're in much condition to go anywhere." It was a stretch, and the few of the Titans were sure they'd trust the Sentinels enough to have them near the mansion or to know who the Titans were in real life. Still, she didn't want to leave the guy there and just disappear. "You could crash at my place, if you need to... unless you're okay with the hospital."

@Stryder: Did you have plans with Ironsight's predicament or can anyone respond? Because I think Nightingale might have some great interaction here.

There's nothing you could do that I wouldn't enjoy, Reaper-chan~
Done. Maybe Kaitlyn can be standing guard as she wakes up? And they both get called to the grey wardens? I'm assuming that's where we're going with the current situation, anyway
Thea was tempted to tell the First Enchanter she was no child of hers, but held her tongue. Kaitlyn was in enough trouble as it is and she did not think it was a good idea to sour her reputation with the Circle any longer than was necessary. She followed the old crone quietly, uncomfortable with the silence but not quite willing to let it show. The Grey Wardens were mentioned, though why the Circle would entertain such guests would be... of course.
"So, there are Grey Wardens here in the tower?" She asked, hoping to break the silence with some conversation that didn't involve what happened earlier.
The First Enchanter nodded. "Yes, they are here looking for new recruits, among both the templars and mages. Though I believe the Revered Mother isn't happy with them looking at the trainees and newly Harrowed mages instead of those with more... experience. I expect your clan must have had a visit from them by now. The Dalish are one of the groups who signed a treaty to aid the Wardens, if my memory serves."
"They may have gone to other clans, but mine was never visited by a Warden, no." The First Enchanter was going somewhere with her line of questioning. There was no reason to bring up the Dalish here.
"I see. Well, much as I hate to see children I've taught and watched grow up in the tower march off to war, and I suppose there are some who would wish any opportunity to leave the Tower for good, even if they leave to certain death. Wardens are not known for leading long full lives."
"I suppose not."
"Now then, the Harrowing chamber is right beyond those doors. I imagine the Dalish do not have such practices, though no doubt you know how to avoid the dangers of the Fade. I must warn you, child, a young flower like yourself is temptation enough for the Templars, the fact that you're a mage under their charge and raised among the Dalish to boot will make you a more inviting target. I will be watching within that chamber to ensure nothing untoward happens, but be on your guard once the Harrowing is over."
Thea looked at the doors and considered the First Enchanter's warning. It wasn't anything she hadn't considered herself, but the words coming straight from the First Enchanter made it clear that at the very least, the mages were looking out for one another and she was one of them first, where she was raised was a different concern entirely. The mage simply nodded and stepped through the doors. "Magic exists to serve man, not to rule over him." The Knight Commander was already within the chamber, and began speaking when Thea walked up to the altar, filled with lyrium and surrounded by other magi. "The Harrow exists to ensure that all mages within our walls are able to resist the tempation of the demons who walk the Fade. Pass your test, and you will be welcomed into the fold, fail... and pay the price."
Thea rolled her eyes. "Simple killing is a warrior's job. Do not talk to me of the dangers of the Fade, templar, you know nothing. I am ready."
The Knight-Commander narrowed her eyes at the young woman and had Thea not been raised among the Dalish, she might have cowed under that stare. "Is that confidence, or arrogance?"
"We are the last of the Elv'henan, and never again shall we submit." Thea voiced the words of the Dalish, her eyes keeping contact with the Knight-Commander. "It is true even with regards demons."
"We shall see."
Thea awoke to a forest. Her forest. The forest she had come to know like the back of her hand. The forest she had grown up in, learned to hunt and tame her magic. The forest she trekked with her clan. It was hardly surprising this would be the demon's battleground of choice. Any deal this demon had to make would play on her desire to return home, it seemed. Not that she would have a choice in the matter if she agreed.
"Well, what are you waiting for?" Thea cried out into the silence of the forest, sitting at the base of a tree. She wasn't going to wander around and fight whatever stupid minions the demon had. No, she was dictating how this battle would go, however little power she had to do so in the real world.
"A feisty one. I do love a passionate woman." A desire demon appeared before Thea, curvaceous and wanton lust oozing off her purple body. Thea rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.
"The templars might kill me if I take too long, so do you mind if we sped this along? I want nothing you have to offer, not even the chance to return to my clan. Now, would you rather take me by force, or leave me alone?"
"You don't even have a weapon, and you're the one who stepped in my domain."
Thea smirked, touching her hand to the ironbark tree she was leaning against and pulled out a staff. This is a Fade, and I am dreaming, no? It would be easy to fashion a weapon in my own head."
The desire demon smiled, unintimidated. "If I had known you would be this cocky, I would have let a pride demon try you instead... Very well, Thea of the Dalish. I'll leave you alone, for now. One day I will return, when your arrogance can carry you no further. Maybe when that little templar whore you arrived with is at stake, hmm?"
The demon vanished and Thea could feel her mind being drawn back to her body. Well, at the very least, it seemed she had passed the test, though she wondered how specific the Circle was went they said to defeat the demon.
