- c'est la vie - " I feel the heat coming off of the blacktop and it makes me want it more " One some dumb level Jaz wasn't even surprised this was happening to her, to be painfully honest. But the question of why the fuck is it always me still rung in between her ears like a mantra, agitating her a little. All she wanted to do was grab some grub from this gas station on the way from Yuuei to the shopping district. That's it. As she entered the place, several suspicious looking fellows followed her in and everything went to shit while she was looking through the assortment of beverages in the fridge. "All your cash, now," she had heard a voice, prompting her instincts to do a swan dive into shit's going down, isn't it? territory. She had been quiet enough as she hid in one of the small aisles in the gas station, navigating so she remained out of sight. There were four armed robbers with balaclavas, one of them pointing a gun at the station clerk. The others were looking around, trying to spot any do-gooders nearby, clearly also armed. Her first instinct was to blow a hole through the aisle she was in, thus hitting one of the armed robbers and beginning an all-out brawl. But she quickly realized it wasn't that simple. When she was recruited into Yuuei, Jaz was explicitly told no Quirk usage outside of class, no matter the situation you're in. If you find yourself in trouble, you run and find someone who can handle it for you. Sure, it wasn't worded exactly like that, but the message was the same. She wasn't allowed to fight them using her abilities. She wondered if self-defense applied, but at this particular moment she could neither remember nor did she have enough time to think about it. The armed robber at the cash register hit the clerk with the broad side of his gun, "Hurry the fuck up, jackass!" Jasmine grit her teeth, facing a dilemma. Was she really supposed to just tuck her tail between her legs and run with an armed robbery happening right there? How was that even remotely heroic? She froze, unsure of what to do. Crap, this wasn't good. If she didn't do something now they'd- "Shit, someone's here!" Well, it was do or die now. Reacting fast, Jaz vaulted over the merchandise and made a beeline towards one of the armed assailants. He wasn't fast enough to react and wasn't able to draw his gun before Ember smashed her shoulder into his chest, forcing both of them through a glass window, straight into the outside. Bullets began flying from inside, prompting the blonde to immediately take cover. She clicked her tongue; she lost the element of surprise. Fuck. There wasn't anything she could do. The guy she knocked over was beginning to regain his bearings as well, leaving the girl with one viable option. Run. Biting back her pride and concern for the clerk, Jasmine vaulted over several cars and blew into an open sprint, still hearing gunfire behind her, likely from the dazed robber. She rounded the corner and bolted into a random dark alleyway, trying to regain her bearings and find a hero or... something. Crap. This was fucked. So. Totally. Fucked. Hayley Reid

Christ on a pogo-stick, tonight’s patrol had begun with a bang if the distant alarms were anything to go by. Hayley dashed in the direction of the sound as fast as her legs could carry her. She was in her full vigilante gear, teeth grit behind her helmet as she willed herself to go faster. Whoever had caused this commotion was probably already fleeing by now. She had to keep an eye out for anyone suspicious –
There. From the corner of her eye she spotted a blonde girl dipping into an alleyway. Obvious, much? Hayley followed after her, slowing as she entered the alleyway and saw the girl had stopped ahead. She quickly assessed her; she was definitely built like someone who could handle herself in a fight. Nothing Hayley could not deal with, right?
“Alright,” Hayley said loudly. “Don’t move. This is your one warning.”

- c'est la vie - " I feel the heat coming off of the blacktop and it makes me want it more " Jasmine tried to control her breathing, but with so much adrenaline coursing through her veins that was proving to be difficult. She was also angry. She was positively livid at the simple fact that she wasn't able to do anything. That wasn't right. Hell, as far as she knew her escaping like that got the clerk killed. Fuck! Okay. No. She had to compose herself. Standing around and complaining to herself wasn't going to work. She needed to find someone to help deal with this mess. She- what? "Huh?" She turned, brow raised. For a split second she felt a pang of relief; either it was a hero, or the robbers from before followed her, which would've warranted self-defense. Sadly, it was neither. More like some random schmuck dressed in too much leather. "My last warning? Please. I don't have time for this," Jasmine supplied, waving the weirdo off before continuing on her stride, hopeful she could find a cop or whatever so they could radio back to Yuuei. Hayley Reid

Hayley raised a hand and tightened the glove with the other. “Wrong answer.”
Her sole queen hornet popped out of one of the three holes in the glove, followed by numerous smaller drones. The hornets billowed out into a cloud half the size of her body with the queen at the very centre. She nodded towards the other girl and the hornets surged to create a barrier in her path; fortunately the alley was narrow enough for them to just about manage this.
As this happened, Hayley broke into a charge.
“Hand over whatever the hell you’ve stolen!” she cried, leaping and exploding into a kick.

- c'est la vie - " I feel the heat coming off of the blacktop and it makes me want it more " "Wrong answer." Fuck off, Jasmine thought, rolling her eyes, yet decidedly keeping quiet as she knew it wasn't worth it. Before she could actually get out of the alley, though, a swarm of bees, fucking bees, appeared out of nowhere right in front of her, prompting a rather ungraceful and very abrupt halt from the blonde. She slid a little and almost tripped into the wall of bees in front of her, blinking dumbly several times. "What in the fuck is this supposed to be?" She asked, her mouth open and and eye twitching. Why was this day getting worse? It was already pretty shit. Now this jackass was on her like fucking bees to honey - haha - and it looked like this day was just about to spiral. She heard that person from before speak again. Growling, the blonde turned over her shoulder, eyes widening when she realized the leather fiend was charging straight at her. The kick had connected with her side, making her grunt and stumble a little. Yet she was very quick to counter, gritting her teeth as she grabbed the girl's leg immediately after the hit connected. Quirks weren't allowed. That didn't mean she couldn't break someone's skull open with her fists. "Son of a fucking-!" Growling like a ferocious tiger, Jasmine returned with a vicious hook, using her entire body weight by leaning into the blow. With any luck the hit would connect and mess with the person's control over their bees enough for her to get the hell out of there. Hayley Reid

The other girl seized Hayley’s leg – shit, she really should not have attacked in a way that left her open like that – and then wham! Hayley’s world spun as the other girl delivered a fierce blow to her head. Her helmet absorbed the brunt of it, but she was still sent staggering back and almost fell.
Her hornets did indeed disperse and fly around erratically at this. Hayley clenched her fists. Well, here was the pain she had been nervous of before. She once again cursed herself for her nerves. The fight was where she belonged. This was her element.
Her frustrated growl turned into a laugh that sounded almost villainous as she let her battle-impulses take over. At her silent command the hornets regrouped and then dived down into a whip-like formation, attempting to trip the other girl up.
“Why’s it always the hard way with you two bit crooks?” she cried. “Not that I really mind!”

- C'est la vie - " I feel the heat coming off of the blacktop and it makes me want it more " The hit had connected with her mark, but Jasmine clicked her tongue when she realized that weird helmet had taken most of the hit. The opening she needed had been made as the bees scattered, giving Jasmine the opening she needed. Thinking fast, Jasmine exploded into a full-blown sprint, trying to get the hell out of dodge before this person pulled some even weirder shit.
...until bees tripped her. Motherfucking bees. Jasmine felt something pull at her feet, dragging her down face-first into the concrete. She grunted and growled, cursing under her breath as she stood back up. Her patience was running excruciatingly thin by this point, whatever the BDSM-like person said going into one ear and leaving out the other. Her eyes had begun flickering from lilac to crimson sporadically, making it clear that the girl was reaching her boiling point. She smiled warmly at the leathered individual, "Listen, I have no time for this. So how about you fuck right off and let me do what I gotta do, yeah?" With those words out, Jasmine continued on her stride out. Fuck, how long was this alley? Hayley Reid

Some motherfuckers were always trying to ice-skate uphill. Not that Hayley had much of a problem with this. With her bloodlust tightening its grip on her senses, she could not help but grin as she advanced on the other girl, giving her knuckles a crack for extra effect.
Enough playing around. Once again she sent the command out and her hornets went into attack formation. They dived down with their stingers poised at the girl’s back like a sword stroke. Individually their stings were not much, but when they struck as one it freaking hurt.
“It didn’t have to be like this!” Hayley called. “If you just handed over whatever you’d stolen I wouldn’t have had to hurt you!”

- C'est la vie - " I feel the heat coming off of the blacktop and it makes me want it more " She wished she had noticed. She wished that she hadn't been dumb enough to turn her back on someone so fucking delusional. Hell, she wished she had told her to fuck off a bit more vividly; maybe then she wouldn't have felt that backbreaking pain in the first place. She didn't really have enough time to react after the first one stung her. Then another, and another, and then a hundred or so more within the span of several seconds. The air had been knocked out of her instantaneously, her voice refusing to come out with her gasp due to the excruciating pain coursing through her. Jasmine's vision blackened for a brief moment as she once again kissed the pavement, this time remaining immobile as the many hornets left her lifeless body behind on the ground. Her head was spinning, breath extremely heavy. She fought to stay conscious after so many painful stings, feeling as though a truck had collided with her and sent her through a brick wall. Her limbs tingled and body felt numb as she grit her teeth. "That's... it..." she had had it. Something inside Jasmine had snapped as steam begun oozing out of her arms. She managed to get herself up using shaky arms, her whole body still trying to get over the shock of so many attacks. "To hell... with... these... motherfucking... rules!" The blonde growled out through bated breath, her teeth grinding against one another as her voice sounded dark and wild. It was still in its experimental stages, meaning that Jasmine's control over that particular technique was very basic and unstable at best, but at that particular moment she didn't care. She was enraged. Anger flooded her very core, making her see red as her eyes glistened a dark, crimson hue. Within the next second, a large explosion went off below the blonde, sending her rocketing several floors above ground level. The first year flipped in the air, correcting her position so her front was to the ground, aimed directly at that motherfucking beebender. She slung her hands behind her form and and fired off another explosion, similar in strength to her previous one, sending her whole frame barreling towards the number one person on her current shitlist. Cocking her fist back as she descended, she swung a ferocious haymaker right at her face, using the propulsion from her previous explosion and her whole body weight to strengthen the attack.

Hayley had poked the tiger enough; now the claws were out. There was no way she could have dodged the other girl at her current level. Her legs did not even get chance to move before the girl’s fist connected and sent her down like a jet hit head on by an anti-aircraft gun, the world whirling around her in a cyclone of pain. The ground leapt up to meet her and she smashed into it, air knocked from the lungs, vision going black for a second. Her helmet could only protect her so far.
She lay sprawled there, every millimetre of her body aching in a way worse than all her previous patrol nights combined. Yes, this was definitely what she had been nervous of, she thought somewhere in her murky, pain-ridden mind. Like a damn coward.
But then, slowly, she began to laugh. It started as a low chuckle and grew into something almost maniacal. She pushed herself back onto her feet, staggering slightly but managing to hold her ground.
“Finally fighting back, huh?” she said. “Took you long enough.”
Her hornets. Where were they? Flying around aimlessly in all directions, she saw. She regrouped them and commanded them to rise up quickly above the girl and then stab directly down; she had to manoeuvre them in a way that would make them hard to hit with those explosions, she realised. One explosion would be enough to take out most of the swarm, and if the queen was hit, it was game over.
She did not understand why the hell this girl insisted on being so stubborn, but she was not going to back down. Not ever.

- C'est la vie - " I feel the heat coming off of the blacktop and it makes me want it more " Pain spread across her arm as soon as her fist made contact with the other girl's rather sturdy helmet, the cold sensation shaking her core like wildfire. Gritting her teeth as she tried to ignore the pain, Jasmine had very quickly realized her momentum was too high for her to stop her descent properly, regardless of the fact that some of said momentum had been taken away after her attack hit home. Doing her best to salvage the situation, Jasmine used her other hand to ignite several smaller explosions below her, lessening the impact she felt after hitting the ground, hard. She groaned, her whole body aching as she rolled several times across the pavement before skidding to a halt, breath still heavy. Her body ached all over and she was a little dizzy. Her knuckles were bruised and bleeding, but she didn't care all that much. She was fucking angry, and the fact that that bitch was laughing pissed her off even more. "You talk way too fucking much," Jasmine spat lowly, crimson eyes glaring at her assailant. Whatever thoughts about the gas station that had lingered in Jasmine's mind were already gone, dwarfed by the need to utterly break this person standing in front of her. Alarm bells went off when she heard buzzing. A lot of buzzing. Looking up, Jasmine saw the hordes of hornets going towards her. Fuck that, she thought, any inclination to somehow deal with them having completely left her. Instead of wasting her strength defending, she decided that in this case offense was the best defense. If she could take care of the puppet master, the puppets would soon follow. As such she blasted another explosion behind her, sending her rocketing towards the leather-clad girl, as a result dodging the onslaught of hornets coming from above. She rocketed towards her, blasting out another explosion behind her to increase her momentum even further before she aimed an elbow directly at the girl's head. She was going to rip that fucking helmet apart. Hayley Reid

This time, Hayley was ready. She anticipated the other girl would go for another head on assault. She still was not fast enough to dodge to the sides, but she leaned back as far as she could as though she were playing limbo in those scant few moments before impact. As she did this, she sent a command out to her hornets to strike the other girl once she had landed, doubting the other girl would be able to recover from the collision with the ground fast enough to avoid them. If the command reached them now, they would still carry it out even if she got hit –
Little did either girl know, they were not alone in the alleyway. Hurrying down from behind Hayley were several of the masked men who had attacked the gas station. Their guns were out of bullets, one of them limping slightly from where a policeman’s shot had grazed his leg, and they were all very pissed off. One of them suddenly held out a hand to stop the other two, his eyes widening at what he saw ahead.
“Wait, the fuck?” he cried.

- C'est la vie - " I feel the heat coming off of the blacktop and it makes me want it more " Shit. She dodged. Well of course she did, Jasmine thought, annoyed with herself for getting so worked up she lost any modicum of her fighting sense. It didn't help that she was still sloppy at controlling her explosions. Not knowing how far a certain level of explosion was going to carry her at what velocity wasn't ideal when you tried to use them for momentum. As such, she was carried quite a ways forward, trying her best to correct her posture with several smaller explosions below her. She had still ended up crashing into the ground rather painfully, rolling to a stop on her arms and knees. She lifted her eyes, realizing how close to the exit of the alley she was. Maybe, just maybe, if she tried getting help now, she could possibly get out without that girl being able to interfere. But at the same time she was worried this one wouldn't care for any civilians that got in her way. She couldn't allow that. Clicking her tongue, Jasmine tried her best to stand back up, the pain from the girl's previous attack still freshly numbing her body. And yet, as soon as she stood upright, the pain came crashing into her again. Like the inexperienced dumbass that she was, Jasmine once again left her back open. It was instantaneous. Dozens upon dozens of excruciatingly painful stings ripping through her jacket, right into her skin. She gasped for breath, eyes wide as saucers as her blood ran cold. Yet Ember refused to fall this time. She clenched her fists. Hard. The taste of metal was now fresh on her tongue as blood also poured into her eyes, clouding her vision even further. "Wait, the fuck?" Jasmine remained still for a good few seconds, the only visible movements that came from her body was her chest heaving up and down with every slow breath she took. The thieves watched the blonde with confusion, yet at the same time rather nervously. Soon, they realized that their worry was well deserved. When Jasmine looked up to glare at them, it was like they were staring at a beast. Her blonde hair covered her dimly glowing crimson eyes, blood trailing down her brow as she exhaled steam. Within the next several seconds, Ember acted. An explosion rocked the area behind her, sending the girl directly into the small group of thieves. She slammed her elbow into the first man she came into contact with, using his body as a cushion to stop her momentum. The man gasped out blood, the air very literally being knocked out of him. Within the next several key moments, Jasmine grabbed the man by the face and, with the help of a small explosion, sent him crashing into one of the other criminals. She had had it. Her body was still in excruciating pain. Frankly if this was any other scenario Jasmine would be shocked she was still able to move. But now she didn't have time to think. Adrenaline flowed through her veins, spreading like wildfire all throughout her body, forcing her to act on some primal instinct. An instinct that was on display when she continued attacking even though the men retaliated, fighting through the pain with a roar. The recoil was beginning to kick in, making her bones ache, but she didn't care. This was now a fight or flight scenario, and eleven times out of ten Jasmine would choose to fight. Stumbling after a knee hit her right in the stomach, Jasmine growled and sent a very literal explosive uppercut to the man's jaw, sending him flying towards the other girl's general direction.

She missed. Thank every deity ever, because Hayley was not sure how she would have handled another titanic hit like before. She turned around and advanced on the other girl, cracking her knuckles for extra effect as she watched her hornets descend on her foe like Blitz bombers. Just a few more punches should finish this, surely.
Hayley stopped in her tracks when she realised they were not alone. Three men had joined them in this alley, three men who looked pretty freaking suspicious if Hayley had to say so. People did not go out at night in balaclavas to pick up groceries. At first she thought they must have been cohorts of this other girl, but that was instantly proven wrong when the girl let loose on them like a rabid animal.
Hayley would have been impressed by the other girl’s ferocity and ability to keep going after being stung so many times, but was instead left frozen there, unsure of what to do or what to make of this change in the situation. Had she attacked the wrong person? But the girl had not even tried to deny any of the accusations Hayley had thrown at her. It did not make sense –
No time to think. The other girl delivered a ferocious uppercut to one of the men like something from a fighting game, the force somehow not tearing his head off as he was sent flying in Hayley’s direction. Hayley managed to dodge to the side and he landed in a miserable heap where she had stood. She delivered a sharp, swift kick to his stomach and he doubled up in even more agony. She knew he would not be getting back up again.
Looking back towards the other girl, she saw one of the two remaining men had picked up a pipe from somewhere. She sent her hornets after him, the insects stabbing down in a line from above. The man screeched and dropped his pipe as his arms flailed wildly and he staggered back before breaking into a run to escape them, abandoning the others. This left only one.

- C'est la vie - " I feel the heat coming off of the blacktop and it makes me want it more " Breathing heavily, Jasmine eyed the man who had taken a pipe. She clenched her fists, ready for anything he was going to throw at her. Her attention had been redirected to the hornets that had been her enemy previously, all of them descending upon the thief like an artillery strike. She couldn't really blame him when he tucked tail and ran, honestly. Then she felt her whole world shake as an elbow made contact with the back of her head. Groaning, Jasmine took a quick second to correct herself before swinging her arm out sideways as she turned, catching the man's cheek with her knuckles. Roaring like a feral lioness, she engaged at him full force. Punch after punch, kick after kick - the female spared no expense showing how fucking angry she was. The entire slew of attacks was finally finished off by Jasmine grabbing his arm and flinging his entire frame over her shoulder, slamming him into the hard concrete below with the whole of her remaining strength. She was positively living, and she wasn't about to hide that fact. Panting, the female looked up at her previous assailant, eyes glistening an ominous crimson, "What? You want some?" She asked lowly, sparks crackling at her finger tips as Jaz readied herself for another fight. This time there'd be no holding back and no running. Despite the fact that she was rather heavily injured, she was out for blood. Hayley Reid
