Lowe didn't hesitate to pull his jacket off and pull up his hoodie, the angry wound clear as day beneath his shoulder blade. The quick bandaging from before had stopped some of the bleeding though each time the Sun hunter moved it oozed a fresh, bright red trail. Having the arrow gone certainly helped with mobility, and the sun hunter stayed kneeling, waiting for the wound to be properly treated.
"Thank you." He really didn't know why he was saying thanks, but - he wanted to. "I...think we will need this. For what is coming."
There was no way that the Horsemen would just run off and leave like this, nor would the heads just stay behind like that if....if they all expected to survive. This wasn't a mission, it was an outright slaughter. Lowe wasn't going to live through the night, nor see the new year.
It was...a terrifying though.

To be frank, it was less optimism and more carefully constructed denial. She had seen many of her companions die-- but the leaders? Well, they always seemed to be...well. In a gilded cage, untouchable and ...safe, or something like it. She put a gun away to nervously fish for a cigarette and a lighter, lips pursed. "What happened in there, anyway?" Selena waved one of her guns and tapped it. "Runic here, so I'm always a little out of the loop. Francesca is the name, by the way." And it was...One of them, anyway. "Something tells me we are not quite out of the woods. Not yet. I hate sitting around more than anyone." Finally, shaking hands found a smoke, and now she was trying to light it, fumbling with the lighter a little. Green eyes scanned the field-- she saw C over on one side, and Mark on another. Good. The Retarded Duo were safe, or something like it.

"I'm not," she clarified, though she didn't mean that as any sort of invitation, not after Profe had propositioned Caelius. Andy made a face at him, one that said 'Really? Of all the people?'
Before she could say anything more the creature swept past them, and instinctively Andy backed away. Even Caelius shoving bandages into Profe's mouth didn't bring a smile to her face, as it usually would have; the little burst of glee she felt inside was promptly overshadowed by the sight of shadows peeling off the creature, and even though she'd seen worse, Andy felt like she might be sick. She brought her hand up to her lips, trying to choke it back. It wasn't like there was decaying flesh or anything- okay maybe that, under the robes, because had she just seen ribs, she almost didn't want to check again.
Not that she had a chance, really, considering it had disappeared.
Andy didn't like not knowing where the enemy was. Better to have them in plain sight. For the first time in forever childhood memories of lurking shadows came back to her- when she had to sleep surrounded by pillows and her back straight against a wall just so she could be sure nothing was going to grab her from behind. What was this, flashbacks already? Andy wasn't quite read to die yet, but the sudden insecurity had her moving closer to Caelius, Gear and Profe.
"You guys okay?" She couldn't look at them, or her face might betray how scared she was.

When the creature just up and disappeared, Mya was instantly suspicious. Regardless, she wanted her dagger back, and she strode forward to retrieve it from where it had clinked to the ground, bending down to scoop it up and put it in a safe place until the next time she had need of it.
Then she started her search.
There were just so many hunters milling around, a lot of them hunters reuniting after coming back from the portal, others making their way towards the healing area to be stitched up, bandaged, put back together, and sent back out to war. She got up onto her toes, craning her neck as she looked around. Any glimpse of blonde hair had her turning her head, but everytime it was not who she was looking for. Her heart began to sink, but she tried not to lose hope.
He's fine, he's fine, he's here somewehere....maybe he's looking for me too, maybe he's just over at the healing teant.... she was biting at her bottom lip, something she tended to do whenever she was worried about something.
As she made her way over to the temporary hospice, she continued to look, her head turning left and right, her eyes scanning over the top of the crowd, searching, always searching. And now, she was at the tent, and who should be there, right in front of her, but Lucas, in all of his topless glory.
"Did you seriously get yourself that badly injured, again?" She shot at him, barely noticing the young man standing with him. "I should've used that barrier on you. Zoey handles herself better then you do, and would have gotten herself less hurt." She scoffed, eyeing him from head to toe...and then back up again...
Somebody came up to her and told her to sit down so that they could redo the bandages on her shoulder. Blood was staining what was already there pretty heavily and she grimaced as she was pushed down onto a stool, muttering curses to herself. "That gun of yours has quite a ******** kick to it." She glared at Lucas, as though it were somehow his fault her shoulder had begun bleeding again after she had fired his shotgun. Her attention shifted to the boy...dear lord was that actually a hunter? He looked like he wasn't even old enough to shave yet! "Picking up strays again, Lucas? What's your name, kid?"

The two remaining leads at last burst out from the portal, weapons summoned in front of them, expecting the worst.
"Sir-" The Hunter stationed to receive them walked over, "Did you find the-"
"It is not there." There was no mistaking the creeping sense of despair in Liam's words: he had not even bothered to desummon Circe. "We need to move now. The artifact has been moved." He had gotten the information from his headset from his division's Runic Hunters just mere moments before but it was all too clear now, how could he have missed it the first time - no, it was too late to regret. They still had a mission to complete. "There are three pieces to the artifact. Each of them represents a detonation point. At the moment we only have enough resources to pool two groups to handle and disable the artifacts. The third group will be solely in charge of constructing a barrier to contain the artifact until we have ... eliminated the first two." An unintentional hitch in his voice over the headset. He did not think they were going to survive any of them. "Any news of Nkiruka's team?"
Silence: it had been too long. Liam suppressed a sigh, instead, nodding to the only other division leader left. "The plan does not change then, we will move now." He paused for a second to recalibrate his Runic weapon, a simple Fear monitor. "Three leaders of the Four Clans left, three full fledged Horsemen. If you do not see either me or Velda, avoid engaging them if possible. Sun Hunters are now with me, Mist is on barrier dispatch duty, Moon Hunters with Velda."
In all honesty, a division died with its division leader for the most part, but Liam could not bring himself to say so. Those Hunters should always carry out their division leader's insignia and name with pride.
