// gonk Holy Crap! //
The shadows around Supergirl suddenly stopped as Roxy starred wide eyed at the hole in the wall. s**t!
Anger set in again and she turned her attention back to the girl. The shadows solidified again and went to toss the girl down the hall. Without even looking at where she was aiming, she slid the sonic device out and let it off towards Chaos.
Chaos grimmaced and whirled his head towards Shadow. Sonics didn't seem to be effecting him much anymore. At least, they didn't appear to be. Either way, it was enough for Alex to slam her knees into him and toss him off of her, and down the stairs.
"Alright, now turn that blasted thing off!" she growled. Sometimes she hated her heightened sences with a passion. Instant migrane.
"Go after her." Roxanne said in a fairly angry tone, switching it off for just a moment. "You'll be faster than I will right now."
And she would. She had no shadow to follow at the moment, and she wouldn't until her other half was close enough to the ground to make one. Alex would should be able to at least find where she went. She'd stay and buy some time. Or exercise some seriously needed anger management.
Alex knodded and rushed out the new hole in the wall, leaping out it and onto a nearby building. She ran and jumped as fast as she could across the buildings, using her claws to cling to walls when needed.
Sapphire was still too far though. There was no way she'd be able to keep up, or catch her.
A second later, she noticed a familiar figure zipping by on the street. "WARP!!" she screamed, hoping he'd hear her and stop.
He did, looked at her, then noticed something flying through the air. She didn't have to say anything for him to know to follow it.
EXIT Warp to Metropolis

It only took a moment for Chaos to reach the top of the stairs again. He paused there and took a quick look around the room. Everyone was gone except for the clone and that girl.
The woman who had been walking down the street paused a moment when she heard something from above her. She glanced up just in time to see Alex sliding down the side of the building towards the ground.
The woman stepped out of the way as Alex landed. Alex took a quick look back at her and started running. "Sorry about-" she said, then suddenly stopped. In her tracks. And simply stared wide-eyed at the woman.
The woman paused and stared as well, though she didn't have the obvious surprise in her eyes as Alex did. "Is something wrong?" she asked after a brief pause.
Alex shook her head, snapping her thoughts back. "Oh...um...no, nothing. I just thought you were someone else." she replied, then took off down the street as quickly as she could.
The woman didn't seem to recognise her. No surprise there. Why would she recognise her. She was far from being one of her "favorites". And honestly...Alex wasn't sure she wanted the woman to know her.
Didn't matter right now anyway. She needed to find Sapphire before the absolute worst happened.
EXIT Alex to Metropolis
ENTER Warp from Metropolis
Warp flew down the street, no sign on Alex anywhere. Crap, he took the wrong street then, or she had gone a different rout. Didn't matter, he knew the direction Sapphire had flown from, so he had a good idea of where Shadow would be.

The creature was having trouble getting up from where Shadow Spider had thrown her; clearly, the kryptonite was still having quite an effect.

Chaos looked over at the girl a moment, then slowly started towards her. It would be easy to get his suit back now. No ape freaks to get in the-
Suddenly he felt the sonics on him again, and took an involuntary step backwards.
Shadow turned the machine off and soon placed herself between Riku and the girl. She stared at Riku a moment, clearly still ticked off, then took a small glance back at the girl. "Clearly...that's not you. But I'm assuming that she has your origional Blood." she said, looking back at the black and green Chaos. "Which would explain why she was wanting to kill Sapphire. So what do you want Riku?"
She wasn't sure why she was standing between them. For what the thing had done...Sapphire could easily be dead right now. She should just let the boy tear into her. But Riku was the one that attacked Sapphire first. Nearly scared poor Rosie to death. And she was already emotionally...nnnnnnh.
About that time, Warp came zipping up the steps and stopped ontop of the stairwell.

It hurt... It hurt so badly... Difficult to think... What did we .... What did YOU do? The first one was right, beloved. We wanted it. NO WE DID NOT! I- I don't want this! I don't need this suit if this is what we-- Unfortunately, beloved, you no longer have any say in the matter. You've let us in. And now... we ARE you in every way that matters. No! You're not! You're-- SILENCE, pathetic little girl!
The part of the creature that was Kara Zor-El screamed as blue-black overwhelmed her conciousness, and the creature on the floor curled up into a little ball, shaking.

// Again, holy crap. //
The scream caught Shadow off guard, and she whirled around to look down at the girl.
Chaos, who hadn't noticed Warp arrive, lunged at Shadow to try and take the device off of her, his spikes shooting out as he went.
Warp had grabbed him and pinned him against the wall on the opposite end of the hall before he even had time to touch her. Even though he had his powers freezing Chaos in place there, one of his arms stayed pressed against the boys throat to keep him from moving.

The creature stopped shaking, dragged itself to its feet, and shot at Warp. The next second, HE was pinned against the wall... Several buildings over. "DO NOT TOUCH HIM," the creature hissed. How dare this worm lay a hand on... Oh. And the effects of the kryptonite were gone, too. Better and better.

Shadow blinked. Suddenly, it was just her and Riku in the room. The girl was gone, and where Warp had been, there was now just a hole in the wall.
"Warp...?" she said quietly.
Warp, for quite a few moments, didn't move. Partially from being pinned, partially from being stunned. That...what just happened? Couldn't move... needed to reverse this and get this thing off of him. Wasn't working though...why weren't his powers. Needed to get his bearings back.
Riku slowly got back to his feet, and took a quick glance back through the hole. So, his old blood still...
At about that time he noticed Shadow making her way towards the hole. Happy...was the absolute last thing on her face.

"Time manipulation, yes?" the creature asked, "Oh, we can't have you using that." Without further ado, it proceeded to do everything in its power to knock him senseless. Once it managed that, it could REALLY start taking him apart.

// Wow...you realize Shadow has no choice but to snap now, right? //
Warp had no way of avoiding the attacks, and after a couple of hits, using his powers was out of his hands as well.
Shadow's eyes widened, and in a flash, the same enraged look she had when she realized that Joker had slipped away from her returned.
Her gaze shot towards Riku, and in an instant her shadows had lifted off the ground and wrapped themselves around him. She dropped the sonic device into her shadow, then detatched it and stood there a second.
After a moment, Riku began struggling, then groaned in pain. Shadow's eyes snapped back towards the hole, and soon her shadows lifted off the ground and wrapped around her in a bit of a forcefield. A second later, the room that Warp and Supergirl were in began to become pitch black.

((^_^ Yeah. Good luck with that.))
The creature tensed, still holding onto Warp. What had she done to-- "You want him? Should we throw him in a random direction as well? Maybe he'll land in the ocean..." The next second, the two figures were just GONE.

// burning_eyes //
There was a long, very silent pause. Then suddenly the room that Warp and the girl had been in became filled with black...and the room suddenly sounded like it was being torn appart from the inside out. When the shadows dissapeared, that's exactly what it looked like. The room no longer existed.
Absolutely furious, she turned her attentiong towards Riku. Her forcefield melted off of her and double wrapped Riku. Riku again groaned in pain. Slowly, she walked up to him and stopped mere inches away from him. "You. Are going to tell me who that is. And where they are. I know you can still sence your old Blood. And unless you want me to aim the sonic frequencies into your brain...or worse...you are going to tell me." she said in a low, controled, venom dipped tone.

"Perhaps...if you let me...breathe..." Riku managed to get out.
Shadow stared at him a moment, then, made her shadows loosen around his torso.
He gasped a moment, then groaned as she hit him again with the sonics...the requencys traveling throughout the shadow around him, acting almost like a tazer would.
"Answers. Now."
"I don't know who the girl is. She was attacking someone I was helping, so I attacked her. She nearly strangled me, and my Blood attacked her."
"And, as usual, it didn't come back...
Riku was silent for a moment, clearly annoyed. "No. It didn't. Someone gave me this new Blood to help get my old Blood back. It's stronger than my previous form, and it has some kind of power over the girl. If you had let me kill her once you rid her of the suit, she wouldn't have taken-"
Another blast of sonics. A stronger one.
"Don't. Tell me this is my fault." she hissed. "Your suit still has some kind of attatchment you. Don't give me a reason to make it griev over you. Now. Where is she."
"That direction. That's about as close an answer as I can give you." he replied.

ENTER from Metropolis
Alex soon made her way back into the old building that everyone should be at. At least she hopped that they were all still there.
Exhausted, she still managed to make a graceful enterance from the stairs. Though that was probably only because she was angry enough that her powers had everything maxed out.
She paused a moment once she reached the top, checking out her surroundings. Only Shadow and Riku remained in the room. And Shadow...well Alex had never seen her this angry before.
Shadow soon turned and looked back at Alex. After a moment, she looked back at the boy. "Is Sapphire alright?" she asked quietly.
"Yes. She's with another group Warp had left her with. Spine damage, but she's healing."
Shadow was quiet again for a long moment. "The other one took Warp. I'm going after him. Stay here and keep a very close eye on him. If I give you a signal...kill him. Don't wait to do it."
Alex paused a moment and looked from Riku to Roxy. "Kill him?" she asked as she approached them. Sure she was angry enough that she could easily kill someone. But... "I don't think-"
"It has his old Blood. It'll care if Riku's alive or dead. If I give you a signal. Kill him." Shadow said, then turned to leave.
"Now wait a moment, I don't-" Alex started, but was stopped suddenly when Shadow spun around and grabbed Alex by the collar of her shirt. Her eyes were absolutely murderous. "That thing beat Warp unconcious and left with him." she said in a tone Alex had never heard come from her before. "Burn. Him. Alive."
With that, Shadow was suddenly gone.
The shadows around Riku however, stayed in place.
EXIT Shadow to No Man's Land

Alex sat against a wall nat far from Riku. Both sat still and quiet while they waited. Well, that was about all Riku could do. Alex...was thinking.
"So why do you do it?" she finally asked. "Why do you keep going after Sapphire? I thought you said you didn't want to be the bad guy. Or was I just hearing things before?"
Riku glanced over at her a moment. After a bit of a pause, he opened his mouth to say something, but without warning, the shadow around him completely engulfed him and fell back onto the floor.
Alex jumped up to her feet and stared. That wasn't a signal...Roxy had just taken him. Great, so now what? Did she just snap, or were they making some kind of trade? Honestly, she didn't like the sound of either option.
