『 ✯ 』 Maybe she ought to have double checked surroundings. Hassles surely would have been saved upon catching the sight of the destruction from another — one that hadn’t been her cause. But, who was to believe that. Many others shared the label of 'bioterrorist' and the constriction taunts and insults served, she no different and surely blame didn’t matter upon who in specifics, simply what.
But, did they need to send out the heavy armor so quickly? Pupils scrutinized.
Difficulty came when armor was thickened twice and the machine guns were present rather than the automatic rifles the D.U.P. knights lugged. Up close and personal attempts remained negative, tricks proving only worthy of keeping head attached to shoulders. Time was limited, precision came little — beams at rapid fire to induce a chance of success. “ Give me a break! ”
Multiple times forming the gaseous substance into a shield, bullets reflected, visionaries fleeting to search for a potential spot, lips tightening. Aching lined along both shoulders and bones, for not all had been lucky to have been dodged — at least the healing factor helped. Proximity was becoming an issue for the continuous shower of metal was beginning to do its job.
Few options remained, and going with the latter one, pride dropped for once, energy within surged forth into the open splitting into a multitude of particles, brilliance of light sheering into one target; the wall. Last minute coloring sprayed against, momentarily creating a blinding canvas until vanishing over the edge where Abigail’s skin met with the ground when power gave way, forearms that had been in mid air failing folding inwards to keep bone intact. She’d collided into the surface of the roof, three times serving a rolling before gravity wrapped enough to stop and allow, lungs a chance to exhale into coughs, dizziness a fog over pale orifices, hearing though dull then picking up on commands of fellow officers to check the roof. Oh great.
Moving was not an option, it was a demand of the brain, nerve endings to act according and bunch muscles and ligament into moving her body. Pain however reduced it at a much slower rate, the damage done, no healing factor could fix it. Knees bent, back hunched as boots staggered to keep contact until Fetch was half way right up.
Voices grew, vision picking up on the brightened yellow ahead, helmet turned towards others, time slowing before her own presence was noticed. “ There she is! ”
“ Shit! ” But, of course a shout not directed to her, but another threat seemingly still didn’t halt her enough — neon still accurately shot intended targets; all three of the officers with not a single focus on the second individual. Down, they remained a heap and motionless, yellow upon yellow. Orifices only then when shifting came upon the figure and a facade that expressed surprise, the conduits own automatically reflecting challenging glows despite physical condition although she too was for having not seen them until now. Instead of questioning what they were doing, it came out as a demand.
“ What are you looking at? ”
[ S ];eattle hadn't been her first choice, but Eden wasn't safe anymore, even less so than it had been. No allies, no help, only her sibling walked beside her now. Yet, everywhere they went oppression existed, people were heavily monitored and there was no escape. Her face was less known here, not every wall was plastered with a shoddy camera shot of her visage, but it was no time to be careless. Police walked the streets in large numbers, for what reason she could only make assumptions from the whispers and loud protestors. It was all too familiar, a flash of a memory passed through her mind. Signs marked with red ink, we want to be free. The screaming, the running, the blood. It wasn't a fond memory, but this place brought it back in force.
That wasn't the only thing either. While unknown to most Senator Callaghan had made sure her presence was known wherever she went, thus a few soldiers had recognised her tattoo's. All they needed to know was that she fought against the system. Fought, lost and escaped. Thus they made after her, thankfully she was alone and Kate was safe elsewhere in their current home. She was unfamiliar with the cities terrain but as a Runner she learned to adapt quickly, finding routes where others might not, disappear in this concrete jungle. Evading their gunfire she'd made for some sort of abandoned factory. She saw a way out, a place where they couldn't follow as their voices echoed throughout the building. However, before being able to do so, her plans came to an abrupt end when said forces fell to the floor like flies. Lucky. Or perhaps not when she was challenged with why she was looking at her unintentional saviour, despite not needing to be saved.
Unable to really understand what just happened she made no attempt to approach the other, keeping her distance. Not out of fear but simple caution, and it was only her curious nature that kept her here. Any other Runner would have left by now, but not Faith. "I'm looking at you, thought that was obvious" a light shrug, "not everyday cops just fall dead on the floor" some satire in her tone. "Guess I should say thanks, unless you're gonna shoot me too."

"—Nice tattoo.
I can guess you’re not from Chicago.”
By God, he would have noticed the female around the city at one time or another.
Who exactly was she? She seemed so… Rogue. Free. Out of the trance.
He’ll be damned if she was the ideas he kept to himself about.
[ S ];uspicion rose, such comments were usually followed by gunfire. Everyone knew Runner's often adorned similar tags as they called them, a mark that identified them. Perhaps this city didn't have Runner's, a good thing for this wanted individual.
"Thanks, I guess?" Was this going somewhere or was it an offhanded remark? "Yeah you'd be right, what made you think so?" Slightly curious but mostly wary. She'd been careful, been out of sight and for once hadn't drawn attention to herself by stepping too closely to the boundaries, so what gave it away?
Once the city used to pulse with energy. Dirty and dangerous, but alive and wonderful. Now it’s something else. The changes came slowly at first. Most didn’t realize, or didn’t care, and accepted them. They chose a comfortable life. Some didn’t. And those who refused to conform were pushed to the sidelines, criminalized. They became our clients. We call ourselves Runners. We exist on the edge between the gloss and the reality: the mirror’s edge. We keep out of trouble, out of sight, and the cops don’t bother us. Runners see the city in a different way. We see the flow. Rooftops become pathways and conduits, possibilities and routes of escape. The flow is what keeps us running, keeps us alive.
Clean.
Everything looked so clean and it felt so weird. Odd.
And then attention pans to the person casually walking around - perhaps undetected yet despite his outfit as there was no tension hanging around the air. Stood out like a sore thumb out of this place consisting of no other colour but white. Dabs of other colours though could be found here and there - but that’s not what it’s all about.
He was lost.
Fucking lost.
Great.
Palm brushed on his chin, wiping away sweat - he guessed - as he tried to take in everything within his spot.
”Nothing beats an old fashioned 'lets get fuckin lost in a city we don't know' adventure.”
A chuckle escaped from parted lips and he withdrew in an alley as footsteps echoed loudly from the distance. A commotion and wow, it wasn’t his fault this time. He’d love to check it out really, but he’s not even sure where he was. Wrong turn. Too fucking wrong.
But he figured hiding there wouldn’t make everything easier so he’d rather do something stupid. You know - just so everyone would know Dante Sparda had arrived in your fucking city. He was about to get dirty but the sudden noise that occurred at his back instead got all the attention. Mouth already opened to question where this female came from but she committed the first move, hushing him already. Silence lingered where they were, Dante listening to the voices from probably where she came from - until she spoke again.
”You know, I have no fucking idea.” Pinched the bridge of his nose as he took a glance behind them.
”Lost. But whatever that Blue is or are - I’m pretty sure I can take them on.”
Oh he’d love to show off to this pretty face infront of him right now.
Impress her a bit - you know - maybe after he’s familiar enough with the place and her enemy. Whatever, whoever they were.
[ A ]; raised brow, didn't know what he was doing or where he was? That was comforting to know. She supposed it was understandable to get lost in this city, everywhere looked the same. So from that she could summarise that he was new here, why someone would willingly come to this city was beyond her understanding but it was somewhat intriguing. If only a little. Readjusting her messenger bag strap that got twisted during her escape she eyed the young man with some suspicion. "Right...so you just accidentally stumbled into the city?" Elongating the first spoken word, even if that were true getting in and out was no easy task. If he'd busted in using force she of all people would have known about it, her down time consisted of listening to the hacked police radio.
It was confirmed that he was indeed a 'tourist' when he didn't seem to know what she meant by Blues. It was a term generally used by Runners, though the majority of the cities populace knew what it meant. "Y'know Blues, cops, police, the authorities? Guys in blue with guns, ring any bells?" Figuring she'd gotten her point across whether he just needed his memory jogging or he really didn't have a clue. While she'd like nothing more than having said Blues wiped from her path it would draw way too much attention, and attention wasn't what a Runner wanted, despite this Runner usually finding it. She could get into trouble just fine without the help of a stranger, but if he wanted to get filled with bullets that was his prerogative. "Then go right ahead," pointing skywards as a helicopter, or Bird known to Runners, was hovering directly above them but out of reach. "Get rid of that and you'll make my job a whole lot easier," doubting that he could she already knew an alternative route.

[ A ]; blur of white, black and a slight stream of red run stark against the cold cleanliness of the city. Small breaths as muscles tightened at every grab, every jump, the flow carrying her safely through the almost abandoned streets of Eden. It was always too quiet, lifeless, the same old humdrum. Perhaps that's why Faith had the habit of finding herself in the middle of trouble, to create noise, to be noticed.
Following her every step today were some particularly trigger happy Blues. Even without being provoked she somehow managed to incur their wrath and they shot on sight. Deciding to lose them in the lower streets she slid gracefully down a drain pipe, shoes squeaking rather loudly as friction occurred. Sprinting around an alley corner the last thing she'd expected was to see another face, no one came down this way often, it was an alley after all and what use did they serve to anybody now? Finger pressed to lips in a hush motion, as the clanking of heavy boots ran past with vague shouts of 'where did she go?' Eventually steps subsided and it was safe to talk, though perhaps laying low for a while was a wise idea, she didn't want to give Mercury anymore heart attacks...not so soon any way.
"You down here for a reason? This is a Blue heavy area you're better doing...whatever it is you're doing elsewhere," though really where wasn't a Blue heavy area? The entire city was monitored.
