Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Do you feel that?"

Remus was crouched on the edge of a low wall, one knee pressed against the bricks, one hand braced in front of him, as though at the starting gate for a marathon or a sprint. He'd been in the process of vaulting over it - much to Sessrumnir's chagrin - but now stopped, brows furrowed, his head cocked slightly to the side.

A power signature. That was what he felt. Something strong and pulsing and Chaotic, black tainted and unnatural; a shiver went down Remus' spine, and he glanced back to where both Sessrumnir and Oberon stood a short distance away, lips pressing together.

"Whoever it is, they're near."

An unspoken what do you want to do followed this.

Three. Three. Two eternal and one knight. Fascinating. Here was a group of Order who knew what was up. She had some respect for that, and despite knowing the odds were very much against her if she just went waltzing over to them, she still wanted to see them in action. Black eyes drifted back down to the body at her feet, and after a moment, she smiled.

If the Order group was really all about that justice then they couldn't resist a hostage. After all, it'd be stupid to just go over and see them without having some leverage. Aside from teleporting. Still slipped the star seed she had just yanked out of her pocket back into the chest of the body, and she grinned at the man as he came back from the brink. "Either it's your lucky night, or very unlucky~"

And it was with this man she had before her like a shield, that Stillwaterite approached the three Order signatures in the alleyway. She had the man gripped by the scruff of his coat, and he was shorter than her so she peered over him at the senshi and knight with ease. She took them all in quickly, and couldn't help that annoying sense of hey, she felt like she had seen these guys before. The corrupt eternal came to a stop some distance away, the man before her, whimpering, and greeted them. "Evening, guys." She called out with a smile. "I have to say, color me impressed. I don't often see three of you working together in a group...that's pretty smart."

Her statement implied it wasn't something she often saw from their side.

Three against one was hardly a fair fight, so it wasn’t until Remus breathed a name that he thought he misheard that he actually looked up from jotting down a note in a small book he carried with him.

“Well,” Oberon frowned as he gently shut the book, pressing each cover between his palms as he looked over the Negaverse senshi that stood before them with a civilian as a shield.

“That’s unfortunate.”

Sedna. He’d hoped he misheard Remus, but sure enough, the woman who had helped him with youma research, and even drove them to the hospital in his brother’s car after fighting some Negaverse a-holes.

Sessrumnir recognized her right away. His expression was hard, eyes narrowed on the woman and the hole in her forehead… and the civilian she held as protection.

This wasn’t the time to figure out how to get her back. They had resources available. But right now, getting the civilian freed was most important.

Sessrumnir held out his hand as his stormglass was drawn from subspace. They’d fought together enough to have their own tactics for situations like this. Hoping the woman they once knew as Sedna wouldn’t understand how his weapon worked, he slowly raised it to eyelevel, looking at both her and the civilian through the swirling liquid.

“Using a civilian as a shield. That’s pretty smart, yourself,” he offered, and then tapped into his magic. “Hope you’re prepared for some unforecasted rough weather.” For himself, Remus, and Oberon, nothing would change, but for the woman and civilian, a storm would rise up around them.
