Welcome to Gaia! ::

The Count let out another yelp when he was smashed into the ground and he did release Asura but as soon as he realized that he wrapped his arms back around the werewolf and squeezed again. Then Asura began rolling. Knowing he would not hold the Count let go and dove for his bow. When he got it he notched an arrow with a electrical tip then loosed it. He hoped Asura would still be trying to recover his breath. Once he did that the Count rolled off the roof into the dark alley and hid to think.

The Count shook off the fear that Asura was trying to induce. He would not fall victim to fear. When Asura charged The Count ran at the wall taking two steps up before pushing off it into the air and over the werewolf. Landing behind the beast Edmond took off towards the street. He notched and trick arrow and fired it up into the sky using the narrow alley for an advantage. The arrow broke apart into several other arrows in the air and rained down toward Asura. Dantes then notched an explosive arrow and fired it directly at the beast. It would blow three seconds after it hit any surface.

Then he felt a pain in his chest. Looking down he had four cuts across his abdomen. It had happened when he jumped over Asura. Two steps onto the wall had not been enough. One claw had hit. For the moment it did not hurt but he would need stitches when the fight was over and that was never good. "You owe me a new suit..." He whispered.

"Are you sure you don't need any-" the Crime Doctor began, following after Emily. The woman had pressed past him and his new intern to continue out the door. Reaching the door, she turned to speak to him. "No. I'll be fine."

She then pulled a small notepad out of her purse and scribbled numbers down onto it with a tiny mechaical pencil. "I can take care of this problem myself. There's no need for my employer to know about your breech in security... as long as you step it up a bit." she continued, then ripped the paper from the notebook and handed it to him. "There. Thats my number should you need anything. You should know full well how to recieve your payment from Mister Cobblepot for your services."

The Crime Doctor took the paper, glanced at it then looked back up at her. "Are you sure you'll be alright?" he asked.

"Of course." Emily replied. "I have brought you customers, remember? Broken bones, fractures, internal bleeding... all on my own. I'll be fine. I don't plan on getting into a fight on my way home, and I don't plan on doing anything for the rest of the day. Go home, rest, be ready to work again tomorrow."

With that, Emily turned and walked out the door. She didn't feel like arguing with the man, or being followed home. With the injuries she had... she needed to visit her "other" home. She owned a place not far from the Lounge, one that she could spy on through a sniper or her cameras. One that she stayed at regularly. Her... other home though... well, it had quite a few things that she just couldn't risk keeping in a place where her employer could come check out.

So, Emily hailed a cab... rode about half way through the city... then had the cab stop to let her out. She paid the man, then waited for it to drive away before walking on. She didn't want anyone to see her get dropped off at the building she intended to go to, so she would walk to the store where she knew she'd be able to sneak through the back and into her own building. A tactic she had used before when she wanted to be sure no one would be able to put two and two together.

Emily glanced over at the buiding behind her, then frowned a bit. Rebecca's family lived in this appartmnt. She wasn't sure if they'd recognize her, but she knew Rebecca's brother would. He'd hit on her a few times in the past. Not wanting to be spotted, Emily quickly made her way down the street.

Or... as quickly as she could anyway. Heels were always fun to try to jog in, and the stitches in her back made it that much harder. So, when she felt she was a fair distance away from the appartment, she slowed down to an easy walk. She had bled enough today... she didn't fee the need to rip her stitches and start all over again.

She hugged the jacket that The Count had given her to wear a little tighter against herself and continued down the street.


===========================================================


The children both bounced excitedly. "Yes! Come one, lets go!" the little girl replied, then continued to drag Rebecca down the long hallway towards the stairs. The younger boy followed after them, stopping in the hallway to look back at Julianne and make sure that she was coming as well.

The girl had already pulled Rebecca through the door to the stairwell, and vanished through it. The little boy was still trying to stay in between his eager sister, and their new friend. He waited for Julianne to reach the bottom floor, then opened the door to hurry out of it as well. The two girls were no where to be seen in the lobby area, and were presumably already outside the apartment complex waiting for them.

The Count looked around for something to jump off but found nothing so he resorted to the one object sturdy enough to support his weight. He charged at Asura. When the werewolf came within range the Count jumped placing his foot on Asura's head and pushing off it into the air. He turned mid air and fired another explosive arrow. Then landed on the ground behind Asura not checking to see if he had hit before he began hearing sirens. "According to my last girlfriend, I don't have one." the Count said as he ran into the ally wall and took three steps up it before jumping off onto the parallel wall and off that one onto the roof where he rolled to get back to his feet. He could see now the police cars making way to the area. One dozen SWAT trucks, two dozen police cruisers, and a single running policeman.

"I am afraid our game must meet an end for now. But here is fair chance, you may want to remove any arrows in your body." The Count said as he pulled out another arrow and shot it into the ground. It began a small charge and a sudden beeping from many directions began. Every arrow Dantes had fired in this fight, was about to explode. because of that, he took off running. The jumps from roof to roof were simple and then he reached the ground and kept running. after a few seconds he stopped and looked back. No boom, they hadn't blown up. "Note to self, fix exploding arrow charges." He whispered before continuing his walk away. He had no doubt the wolf would follow him, he just wanted to move the fight away from the police. He knew Gotham had a protector, and he did not want to deal with the Batman.

((well, I would assume they are mostly dead or dying so I don't really think someone needs to. But yeah, someone should call Batman.))

The Count turned when he began hearing the screams. He started to run back until they stopped. He couldn't help them now. It was his fault but he could not help them. Without a doubt if he returned the wolf would be stronger and he would still be wounded. "I am so sorry..." The count whispered before turning away and continuing to walk back to his safe house.

((O.O.C: Nanananananananananana batman XD))

*Asura chuckled once more as he heard the footsteps, soft breathing of a lady coming close to the area of where he causing the chaos, he'd turn at the lady's direction as he sniff and say:* "So, another stray cat wanders into the battlefield, (Asura pauses analyzing her scent) she share's that archer's scent? impossible he can't be in two places once, tch let me see then!" Asura Howled as he got on all four's and started running towards the scent with a bloodlust powerful as ever*

*Leaping up in the air mid-way as his scents detected a more stronger smell of the Archer once more as he landed on top of a building as he overlooked the archer as Asura chuckled and said with his demonic tone: "So, the manly archer comes back to fight the beast, what's your plan you know how futile it is when I'm the dominate species of you human, but before I enjoy gutting you, what is your name brave warrior? I introduce myself as Asura, the Obsidianblade of Gotham!" *Asura got up slowly as he stared at the man chuckling*
