Lilie's eyes widen as she watched the scene unfold before her very sight, she watched as the young girl screamed something about being left alone, her monster creation beginning to reign it's short lived terror.
The next thing she knew, the monster was jumping in front of Annie, taking a huge bolt of lightening, which caused it to deteriorate into nothing, followed by the fall of the beasts creator. Lily shook her head, bringing her back into reality of the situation.
The tall girl quickly took action, dropping beside Trinity, the girl was out cold. She figured she probably over exerted herself, why not? She only created a huge trash monster that took a powerful lightening bolt from Leviathan, then she looked over to the man, who still looked pretty ticked. She had half a mind to say something to the man, but she kept her mouth shut, she had nothing but a gun to protect herself from the man, and she assumed it wouldn't do any one harm but herself.
Lily growled angry at the situation, she had to get Trinity out of here, the girl was out cold, she was doing herself more damage staying out in this mess. Lily put one arm under the girl, hoisting her up to her feet, then she placed her other arm around her front, holding her up over her neck. She looked around the group, hoping that maybe this would drive their attention away from all that way going on, and she hoped that Leviathan would see this to be his fault and return to his 'normal' self. Sure, the man was evil and sinister, but his pupil was down, surely he had plans for the young miss. "Look we have a common interest right now, Mr. Cortez. Your ward has just passed out, so why don't we settle this civilly?"

Gidget's visor polarizes to keep the sudden flash from blinding her. She sees the creature reach out to protect Annie, and then the girl with the purple hair passing out. Instincts take over and Gidget rushes over to Trinity. She gently places a hand over Trinity's head and chest. Her display shows signs of syncope secondary to severe over exertion. Gidget sighs in relief, happy that the girl isn't dead or worse. She looks to Lilly and says, "Let me carry her. I will take her someplace safe."

Lily looked at the girl called Gidget with a bit of shock. She looked at Trinity, who was still slumped over her shoulders. Sure, it would be easier to just hand her over to this girl, but she couldn't do that. Then again, it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to get the mighty mouse themed girl out of the picture, the quicker the better.
She looked over to Annie, who obviously trusted the girl, so hopefully she was doing the right thing. She slowly began to move Trinity over to Gidget, being careful as to not drop her, or cause her any more injury. "Let me at least help you get her some place safe." she argued, she didn't feel right letting such a small girl carry Trinity off alone, not only that, but Trinity didn't know Gidget, hell she didn't really know Lily either, but they at least had been around one another.
She looked around the shambled ally way. So much chaos had happened in a matter of minutes, it wouldn't be too long and the police would be on their way, it was only logic, someone would of heard the loud crashes and called the police. It was probably best Trinity not be in sight when they arrived, seeing this was her home neighbor hood. It would only cause problems for the teen.

Annie gasped as the monster protected her and she fell back against the wall, even with the protection of the monster she still could feel the blinding heat, the singe of the air, the tips of her hair, and her clothes. If she hadn't been protected from the monster she would have no doubt died. She turned to see Leviathan's pupil fall and Lily and Gidget taking care of the girl. Annie immediately changed what she had changed to acid in his blood stream back to its original compensation.
Taking a deep breath, "I attack rapidly and with blind confidence whenever I am confronted with an attack: it is called instinct. And, I am sure it is obvious to you that I don't want to hurt anyone."
She turned away, watching him out of the corner of her eye, this was not a man who was above attacking someone's back, "You're right I am rash. It is a fault of mine. But, I am sure someone as rash as yourself would understand that." Taking a deep breath she continued, "Please don't be the pot calling the kettle black it is unfitting."

Lev watched it all, displeased and now taken aback, his mouth slightly ajar as he took Annie's words, watching the scene play out. Trinity lay sprawled out unconscious, his attack the reasoning for her injury. Lev screwed his face up, holding two hands to it a moment, rubbing at his temples. Steam blew out like a steam engines from his ears and nose, and Lev growled deeply at the two attending to his student, but the damage was done.
Leviathan had had his pride tarnished.
With a quick step, Leviathan motioned for the dark man to follow, slipping out of the alley as unseen as he had been rambunctious and loud before, his strange backpack jangling and jostling as he mulled away, his face red with anger/

Gidget gently takes Trinity into her arms, once more being careful not to harm her with the augmented strength the suit gave her. She takes a scan of her face and runs it through an ID search. Trinity Smith, a simple yet beautiful name in Gidget's opinion.
She shifts her gaze back to Lilly and fades the filter of her visor and faceplate so that her new friend can see her face. There are digital readouts flouting around her face, though not so much as to obscure her basic features. "I have her home address. I think she'd want to go there. My mapping system has been damaged, I'm going to need your help to find her house."
Gidget's rear camera keeps a watchful eye on Leviathan and Christopher. If she has too she'll keep these two busy while Lilly and Annie get Trinity somewhere safe.

Lily nodded, watching as the two men began to take leave, her eye catching the backpack once again on his back. Something was off about it, she thought. But she didn't want any more trouble coming her way. Believe it or not she had enough trouble and excitement for one day.
"I know up to the street." she said, looking at Gadget. Her eyes then shifting over to Annie, who was giving a brief lecture to the man who was doing the attacking, she sighed. Glad that hopefully that was over, for now. She also made a side note to just give direction next time, and let Annie and her friends do what they did best. Lily didn't like how close to deaths face she had gotten.
"We should probably get going. I fear the police might be here soon" she finally stated aloud, shifting her weight to better accommodate her tall, petite frame. She was still shocked about the crossfire she just witnessed. What was you thinking, Lil? You could of easily gotten yourself killed! You need to be more careful when just walking into these situations... she sighed, taking a few steps toward the direction that she suspected Trinity lived in. The girl would probably want to be in her own bed, wake and take a shower in the safety of her own home. A shower sounded so delightful right at the moment. And her bed, her small drafty dorm room with all it's little nooks. Lily released a final sigh, grateful all the same time it seemed as if Lev hadn't recognized the girl as the same one he had warned not to follow him before.
"Thank you for little miracles" she said, looking up into the nothingness of the now dark sky. It was well pass mid-day now, most likely evening, close to dusk. She bit her lip, looking back at the other three females now. "You comin? We need to hurry and get her home." her voice rang out over the destroyed ally like a foreign object.

Tansy coughed softly as she looked around. Everything was white. And she had been placed in a strange bed that was not her own. In fact, she'd never seen a place like this.... except, on tv. "No." She was in the hospital. Frantically, she began to look around. A loud annoying beeping sound became louder as she felt the panic rise in her chest. She tried to reach for it to make it stop, but she found that she had been restrained to the bed. And that was when everything that could have gone wrong floated through her head. She began to scream.
Within seconds her room was filled with people and faces she didn't know. They seemed to be talking in a language she didn't understand. "Sprawiać przyjemność! pomagać ja! Pomagać ja!"
"What is she saying?"
"I don't know, just give her the tranquilizer!"
Tansy fought against the men holding her arms, and the restrains until she had had enough of laying games. With one strong pull, she knocked one of the men away as the wristband snapped. Next she pushed the second man and pulled that one off as well. She opened her wings to take off in flight, but she found her mind to be hazy and slow. She looked around at the faces once more, which seemed to be grinning at her before she was taken back to the Void.

Alias had seen the scene play out. He refrained from comment, just started to hum the tune of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic". He sped up beside Lev and raised both eyebrows in an exaggerated fashion, like You handled that well.
They kept walking back out to the main road, leaving the others behind. Alias left behind the shell of Christopher (an actual reporter for the Daily Herald) and transitioned back into his dark-haired, dark-eyed, half-self.
He smiled at Leviathan. "Any idea where we're going?"
His hand ached, and he knew why- another scar lost. A drop of blood traced it's way down his hand.
His blood is on your hands.
Four chances left.

Annie nodded as she watched Leviathan and Christopher leave, "Yeah, I'm coming." Did Leviathan actually feel bad for what had happened? He had looked shocked at her words: all she did was speak the truth. Annie doubted that it would be the last she saw of either of them. Even if she had decided to avoid Leviathan and Christopher, she doubted they would let her. What were the two up to? And why did she have to open her mouth?
Hurrying to catch up, Annie inspected the ends of her hair, some of the strands were frayed and fried, as if she had used a straightener on it for hours. If it wasn't for the girl that Gidget was carrying than Annie's hair would have been the least of her worries. She owed a lot to the young teen.
Sighing she closed her eyes and spoke, "Um... Miss Stinson, thanks for trying to help. Things got a bit carried away." Opening her brown eyes she regarded the girl, "Are you okay? I know the acid tends to hurt like the dickens. After we drop off the girl, maybe we should take you to the hospital and get you checked out." Frowning she continued, "Hell, I'm shocked that Mr. Cortez seemed so unfazed by my powers. It's like he doesn't have fear..." She shuddered at the thought.

Gidget's snickers, "Big oaf is probably too stupid to feel fear." She shifts a little bit in her armor as they walk. She ponders for a moment why it is she really doesn't feel like she is wearing a big suit of various alloys. It feels like a second skin to her, like she was born in it. She shakes off the feeling and smiles at Lilly, "I'm Gidget by the way, tech girl extraordinare. I'm sorry if I made things worse for you guys by dropping in, but when my suit picked up heightened levels of static and acid in the air I had to help. Pretty awesome entrance though, huh Annie?"

As Lily led the way to Trinity's home, she couldn't help but feel dazed, maybe it was the acid rain she had been exposed to for most likely too long for any human to tolerate. She felt the sticky burns all over her body, even dried blood that was running down her back. She probably looked a mess.
Then, she heard Annie's voice. Um... Miss Stinson, thanks for trying to help. was all she heard from that sentence, her vision waving in and out along side with her hearing. Are you okay? was the next thing she heard, everything then sounding as if it was under water. "I-i-i'm fine." she lied with a stutter, hoping to pin that on the shock of the entire situation.
Maybe we should take you to the hospital at that, the young woman's eyes widen, she looking at Annie, then at the girl who just introduced herself as Gadget. She couldn't go to the hospital with acidic burns all over her body, her mother would wonder how that happened, and any chance of her living a happy normal life without her mother breathing down her neck would be long gone. "N-n-no I'm fine. I j-j-just want to go h ome." she said matter of factly. It was half true. She did just want to get back to her dorm room. She wanted to gather up her four new occupants and hide behind closed doors. She was more then un nevered about the recent fight, it wasn't Gadget or Annie, or even Trinity that had shaken her this much, it was those men. Suddenly the fact that she should be dead right now was more then the small girl could handle. This was far more extreme then anything the dare devil dared to attempt in her life.
"Here is the street, Ms. Gadget. By the way. I'm Lily" she said more confidant this time, ignoring her blurring vision, and her waving hearing. She was that much closer to being home, if she could just tough it out until she got home. She'd be fine, she'd been in worse conditions then this. Come on, Lil. It isn't that bad. Just a few burns. How badly can Acidic rain hurt you anyways?" she said to herself reassuringly.

Annie frowned as she looked over Lily, she was bleeding, at least with her power she could know that the girl wasn't getting any more damage to her. Thinking to herself she decided, if Lily passed out she would have to take the girl to the hospital if she wanted to go or not.
Sighing, Annie took off Lily's jacket (not wanting to get blood on what she had been so kind to lend her), wrapped it around her waist and held out a hand to Lily, "Look, I can at least help you stay steady." After taking Lily's hand, planning to ignore any protests the girl might make, she turned her attention to Gidget.
"That may be true about Mr. Cortez being too stupid to feel fear, but that isn't something that gives me any comfort," Annie sighed, and decided not to critique the girl's entrance. "At least with Mr. Ray he had the sense to have fear things. I want to know the trick to ignoring the feeling of acid burns that Mr. Cortez used, because that sure as Hell would be useful next time I have to use my power and end up in the cross fire myself."

Gigdget smiles and giggles, "Not Gadget, Gidget. Although I do suppose Gadget would be a fitting super-hero name for me."
She considers Annie's statement and then beams. "Hey I know, I can make you an intrinsic repulser field generator like the one in my suit. Did you notice how the acid wasn't burning my armor. It's because the suit actually has it's own natural protection against small scale attacks like gunfire, or in this case acid rain. I'm sure I can make one that could, I dunno, clip onto your belt or something."
Gidget reads over Trinity's address again and looks over to a road sign. "I think we're getting close. I sure hope she isn't too upset when she wakes up."

Alias turned away from Lev for a moment (he still didn't know where they were going) when he was alerted by a tap on the shoulder. He spun around, quickly.
Very bloody quickly.
A dark figure like himself took a vague form in the shadows. He stepped out and bowed a small bow in Alias's direction.
Alias's fists clenched. Vain...
He cleared his throat. "I thought I told you to keep seeking, fool."
The figure's, Vain's, face came into focus. Brown eyes, white-ish hair. His body soon followed, taking on an identical trench coat.
Vain smirked a tad. "Mind your manners, Alias. I only came to report."
"And?"
"And I saw how you handled that gathering back there. Only showing a fraction of your power. Staying closed up, not scratching around in their personalities like you usually do... you're calling me the fool?"
Alias was far less than pleased. "Just give your report."
"I found one."
That piqued Alias's interest. "Really?"
Vain nodded. "Yep, she slipped right into the BZ."
"... what the heck does that mean?"
Vain rolled his eyes. "You old coots are so out of it. The Blending Zone... ya'll call it the Grey Area."
Alias ignored the comment. "Do you have any information on the subject?"
Vain smiled. "I scared the wits right outta her. Called myself death and all. I was able to slip right in."
He took a breath. "Name's Tansy Hinzard."
