The group spewed more hate at each other and once they were close enough it was apparent why. To dynamically opposed groups were having a face-off. He took a deep breath and let it exhale from his nose. He had no love for the anti-quirker group. They had been a bane to his life in his homeland as well. He bit back the frustration and strolled through the crowd keeping an eye out. Until he hopped to the side last minute, avoiding a quirk user. The man was sitting on the ground covered with injuries. Ray's eyes traveled to the knocked out man laying next to him. A situation already.
"Hey, you alright? What happened to this guy?" Ray asked as he knelt down between the two of them and placed his hand on the man's neck to check if there was still a pulse. Something he picked up from his mother in case it was ever needed. He didn't want them to have attacked each other nor for either one to try and finish the job. "You shouldn't be here. It's getting dangerous too." He spoke to the mutated Quirker and kept his fingers on the unconscious man's neck. He wished Danica were here. She could at least heal the person up some. His own quirk only helped him.
Realizing he didn't wanna make a scene or bring unwanted attention to the situation, he checked the man for any other injuries or any blood around the body.

Danica moved past the mob to the opposite side to ray, as she got past the larger portion of the crowed she would notice a spout of fire burst from a mans foot, as he kicked the air near another person.
Her attention turned quickly towards the man, he had broken free with another guy who was yelling at him, they seemed to be swinging wide of each other, but it was enough that she had to address it. Turning herself to align with their path, she would give the quirker the benefit of the doubt this time, as she passed by them she would say “ the police are on their way I wouldn’t do anything too stupid now” she would say as she moved past and behind them, taking a position a few steps away but still centered to them, if they lashed out at her she would defended herself and if they went at it again Danica would opt to target the quirker.
She felt the tension of the crowed but tried to keep herself in a rather neutral stance, but her opinions swayed more to the fact that quirkers had a gift, and should be more responsible because of it, and in the event that quirker used their quirk on a citizen it would be far harsher then if a non quirker attacked a quirker. She did have to silently applaud the few non quirkers that were ballsy enough to stand tow to tow with a man who can throw fire with his kicks and punches.
Despite watching over the two people fighting it out, if it go bad she would intervene with nonlethal force, and increase from there if necessary, she mentally reminded herself that her actions represented witch doctor and she didn’t want to drag her name through the mud. She had a great deal of Respect for her; having been the first teacher she interacted with, and now having been interning under her, everything she had heard about her seemed to fit the kind and caring nature that most talked about when she was brought up in polite conversation.
~~~
If the flaming Kick boxer didn’t Take to her words and continued to fight she would do her best to intercept his attacks drawing her wooden blade to hook under his ankle to slow the kicks and push them to land short of where he intended. And if that didn’t work she might try and find Ray, a Water bubble time out seemed appropriate for this sort of situation.

The woman that Mizuki was following had absolutely no idea about the teen following her. She still managed to make her way through the crowd of her friends and maybe even her family. She got a lot easier through the crowd than Mizuki, whom people looked at with a questioned look wondering who she was and why she was among them. Finally, the woman reached the front row and that's when she noticed that Witch Doctor was there. She didn't say anything, only smiled before trying to take a slash to the person in front of her, a young man, and trying with an almost swift movement of a dancer to take the woman who stood next to him by her shoulders and putting the switchblade to her neck. "See, we don't need quirks, we can use weapons, we are not weak." Nimue looked at her, she would know how to deal with it but she noticed Mizuki and would just keep a close eye on what would happen next to jump in, but she was sure the girl could deal with the issue herself.
Ray would bump into the leopard man and he would look up at the younglings. "Before you came they were throwing rocks and fighting us. We were here just having our day off you know. That's when they all started to gather around." He looked sad, his day off with his friend got ruined and he tried to not cry about it. He couldn't help it that he was simply born this way. "I don't know what to do with my friend, I don't know if he will be okay like this or if I have to get a doctor, what if they don't want to come?" But he got he had to get out of this group, but within the group, he was safer as long as they would not fight him now. "So what you suggest to do?" He wasn't sure if he could carry his friend, he wasn't sure if they would even allow him out.
When Danica was watching the two, she could notice the fear in the quirker's body language. He tried to get away from the soldier, trying to fight his way out. "I know what you did, you murdered my family." Semper Fi wasn't known to everyone but it was not forgotten, the soldier, unfortunately, only laughed and just seemed to continue to try and draw out this man. He laughed only more when Danica interfered to stop him. But the Soldier was a very good fighter and would push Danica aside, "Stupid teenagers shouldn't bother with adult business. Go home girly." The man said, trying to pick up the fallen quirker to give him a gut punch. Seems like Danica got the wrong person with who initiated the fight, but even if her goal had been to stop them both, it seemed to only make matters worse and boy did that man wanted to go back to his quirked buddies. Why was no one watching? If you looked past the group it seemed that there was like a reflection, as if there was a screen between them and the group? So was a quirker protecting his buddy? What was going on?

The crowd made it difficult for her to get to the woman. They were staring at her, she could feel their eyes judging her as though she had committed a crime to be different. It was the Redhorn incident all over again. People judging her no matter how much she tried to help. No, stay focused. There were bigger problems to attend to. As soon as Mizuki got to the front of the crowd, she knew she had her work cut out for her. A young man seemed to had best the woman and now, he had her with a knife to her throat.
'A quick blow would do it,' Mizuki thought. 'But what about the crowd?' pointed her inner-self. Mizuki looked around. The crowd was already pissed enough; doing anything more violent might set off more fights than needed. And if the cops get involved... well, let's just say they will not think twice who is quirker or not. They would do whatever it took to protect the rest of the citizens, including taking most of the crowd if needed.
Mizuki thought for a moment. She would have to try a different approach. If worse came to worse. Nimue-sensei would jump in to help out. She was going to try the old Desmoshi approach. Sometimes, there is a time to fight. And other times, there is a time to talk. But she had to do this delicately, or the situation could get worse. However, she knew that the people didn't want her "Be nice" and "Get along" as a solution. So, time to try the truth. She wasn't sure if the crowd in front was paying attention to her, so she would get her attention by doing something she had never done before- be more vocal than her normal.
"So you succeeded in holding her at knifepoint," Mizuki said calmly and loud enough for the crowd to hear, looking the man in the eyes. She could see the fear. The same fear that she had seen during the Redhorn Rampage. The same fear she had seen during the Fuchu Riots. Fear could be a powerful motivator to do something regrettable. And she was done with it. She had enough of "fear".
"So what now?" Mizuki asked the man. She continued. "Let me help you with a scenario. You take the woman's life in front of all to see. You think you are the hero. But do you know what is really going to happen? These people will break into a bigger fight than the one you are in now. And then cops would come, and then there would only be two options. Death or imprisonment. And instead of being hailed as a hero, you would be playing the role of a villain."
She turned to the crowd, hopefully getting the attention of some of them, making sure to check the man holding the knife as she spoke. "And that is what every criminal and villain wants from you. They want you to become the villain. But not through robbing a bank or making a gang. But from what you are doing right now." Hopefully, as she was talking this made the attention focus on her and gave her teammates a chance to breathe to find the wounded or to stop small disputes outside the group of people.
Mizuki turned and pointed to the man and the woman. "But this is your glorious revolution, right? For both sides. If you wipe out the other side, then all problems are solved. But what do they do with the people who started the revolution? Once you got rid of all the people you consider bad, what do they do with the people like you? The troublemakers? The revolutionary leaders? The new villains?" Mizuki wasn't trying to chastise the man. She was trying to get him to see.
Mizuki looked back at the man, shaking her head sadly. "What you are doing right now, sir. What the people are doing in this crowd. This isn't a solution. This is no revolution It's a war. A war that neither side will win. Because when either side gets rid of the people who they think are bad, guess what? The new side becomes the villain. And another group of people will rise up and start a revolution against the ideas you have. A vicious cycle of conflict for no reason. A war that could have been solved by doing one thing. Like any other war or conflict that has happened. Both sides sitting down and just talk! Compromise!"
Mizuki put her head into hands, looking back up as though pleading for the man to understand. "I am trying to get to see," she continued looking at the man and woman. "I'm trying to get you to see there are other solutions. But they can only be achieved through compromise." Mizuki was praying this worked. "Set an example for a new generation. War and conflict is not the answer. It doesn't matter what weapon you have or what quirk you were born with. Because none of it matters to the lives that suffer. The people who have families who would lose their loved ones today if this continues. Senseless violence that changes nothing." She continued to talk to the two of them. "Please, be a solution that does not involve violence or someone else dying. Be a solution that can heal wounds, not cause them. Be different than what the real villains want you to be."
She looked at the crowd and then back at the duo, hoping that her words would hopefully reach someone. If not she was prepared to subdue the man and woman with the help of Nimue-sensei.

Ray looked around at the rest of the crowd, which was building with animosity. He let out a long exhale through his nose, thinking about the terrible incident that happened to the young kids before him. "Sorry, that happened to you. Don't worry we'll figure things out. Were you the first ones here?" Ray asked and kneeled down to examine the unconscious boys' body. Checking to see if there was any blood or other wounds especially to the head. he looked over to see where Danica was, her quirk was more suited for something like this and could actually help heal another person and perhaps bring them back to consciousness.
It seemed she was engulfed in her own situation and he couldn't really make out where she was as the crowds were gathered and messy. "fortunately for us, there are people right here that can help," he smiled at the leopard boy. "But first let's move to a more safe location. Ray put his hand gently beneath the head of the boy and as discreetly as he could, he conjured a soft barrier of water to act as a small stabilizing pillow. One that was only beneath the boy's head and Ray scooped him up. "Let's step to the side and then my allies can help your friend. That'll be quicker than rushing off to a hospital." Ray stood up, using his quirk to stabilize the motionless lad with water beneath his head and the small of his back, and carefully eased his way to the outside of the group and towards a more shaded area. All the while he kept scanning for his teammates.
As Ray was about to set the boy down, the crowd's attention turned to the center once more as a person was held at knifepoint and Mizuki emerged to appeal to their minds. It was then that Ray saw Danica shoved to the side as violence ensued by her. He couldn't exactly yell to her, and he couldn't wait for the situation to run its course if the boy was really injured. "follow me," Ray told the leopard boy and snuck his way around the outside of the group towards Danica while the group's attention was focused on the speech in the middle. If he made it to Danica, he'd ask for some help with the child.

Danica tried the diplomatic approach, but she had miss read the situation, having expected the quirker to be the assailant, but it seemed she was very wrong as the man throwing fire from her kick boxing style seemed to be retreating, he spoke out about his family, and the soldier laughed, she attempted to slow the soldiers advancement on the quirker, but he easily shoved her to the side, she had only basic training in stopping riots, she had never had an exercise, which was likely why they intern shipped under the pro heroes to get the experience. But with getting shoved her tempered flared for a second as she drew her wooden blade back and went for a strike at the soldier, but her conscious caught her before she could manage to attack, she was still representing witchdoctor, and if this escalated because she attacked a member of the public she would feel horrible. Instead of attacking the man she growled out in frustration and put her blade away, clearly it was not going to help. As the soldier tried to gut punch the fallen quirker Danica would vanish into mist and reappear were the blow was coming, taking it in the forearms as she squished herself into the small space between the soldier and the quirker.
“ would you piss off, i think he’s had enough” she would grunt feeling the blow on her arms, it hurt quite a bit, the man was clearly a fighter, and she was far more delicate than she realized. She had failed to see the reflection or any of the barriers that might have been there.
She was caught between the two of them still, as ray approached her position, she could hear footwork talking to the crowd, and she hoped that it would appeal to their nature but railed up people rarely seemed to listen to reason and facts. It was emotions and Adrenalin that caused things to escalate most of the time. Danica would continue to keep herself between the soldier and the quirker, if what the quirker said was true in anyway than she wasn’t going to let him be the next victim. A thought pushed to the surface of her mind as she stayed in a defensive stance. She was happy to be working as a team, if she was solo she would be way in over her head.
~~~~
If ray managed to get to her she would ask him “can you time out bubble him?” Before even realizing that there was someone who needed medical attention.

Nimue was trying to debate on a hushed and quick conversation with the two leaders of the group when a voice stopped the three of them and she looked from one to another and give a short smile as a polite reminder to give her a minute. She recognized this voice and she stepped between the two of them and moved more towards where the voice came from and looked from Mizuki to what was unfolding to the woman that took the hostage with the knife and the man that she held. She raised her eyebrow and looked at Mizuki and although her speech was inspiring, she forgot one thing. Witch Doctor took a few steps to cross to the other line and grab the woman's wrist and pulled her arm back and took the knife. "Nice one, Footwork. Just next time first the weapon then inspiring them to stop." She said with a thumbs up and pushed the woman down. "You heard the hero in training. If you don't want to be considered the villain in a vicious circle, you should all consider your steps very carefully." She turned to look over her shoulder at the people. It was a warning for all of them, after all why would Mizuki else talk so loud. She put the swiss blade in her pocket and turned to Mizuki with a firm nod that she should keep her eye out and to usher the people away, she turned to the leaders. "You heard the girl, now the police are coming. Move over or the consequences be worse, and don't try me." She bit back before someone could even say something and she glared from one to another.
As the people made more space between each other, Nimue beckoned Mizuki to come along, she thought she spotted Ray and when she reached the end of the mass of people that now finally split further apart (although the police had already arrived on the other side). She noticed Danica caught in the group. She would arrive after Ray so depending on his action she would cut in herself to protect Danica from the soldier that did not stop, the fire quirker had taken a few steps back but did not seem to move away. Nimue had the advance on coming from the side and the back, as the man was focused on Ray and Danica, she swept his feet away from under him and pushed her knee in his stomach. "Stop your quirk." She hissed, "You are a coward for fighting as a quirkless but blocking us all from what the hell you are doing." She looked up at Ray and indicated for Danica to look at the wounded leopard human and she would ask Mizuki to keep this soldier down and give him to the officer that was coming towards them. She would quickly hurry herself to Ray's side to check upon the unconscious boy, "Carefully put him down, I will show you how to put him in a safe spot, so his body won't attack itself, okay?"
She would first stretch the legs, pull the right arm straight and the left under his right cheek and rolled him on his right side and looked at Ray. She checked his pupils and his breathing as well for a second time before her eyes turned green and she started to heal. It would take about ten minutes before the boy woke up and she would push him back down and took a bottle from her bag and asked him to take a sip when she got the bottle in front of him, she supported him with a hand on his back and made sure Ray noticed. "Check on him and slowly help him up okay?" She would move back to Danica to make sure the leopard guy was fine before getting to Mizuki and asking if she was alright and not hurt, but also that the soldier was carried over to the police and gave a word on what happened, if any of the group would linger or do it again there would be a warrant for an arrest. She looked at her students now that the ambulance came for the two wounded guys. "Alright, I think our job here is done, let's continue." She took a deep breath and a sip of her own water and made sure the students were okay.
The rest of their patrol was effortless, a fallen purse that they brought to the police office and helping an old lady cross the street. She would walk them back to Yuuei.

Mizuki nodded her head slowly towards her sensei, the crowd seemingly being calmed by the teacher's words. Nimue-sensei was only trying to help and she knew this. How she acted on the trip she realized wasn't the right way to go about it. That's why today she was trying to be more outgoing. And started with her understanding that her teacher was only here to help.
"Sorry about that, Witch Doctor," Mizuki said with an understanding nod. "Didn't want to aggravate the situation more by trying to take the knife from him. I learned from my aunt that the best way to calm down the hostage situation was to talk them down. I should have tried to take the blade from her earlier. I guess... I just didn't want to make it worse. I will remember that for next time." To be truthful she was scared. What if she was unable to take the knife from the man? Or unable to talk the crowd down? What if next time, none of those things worked? Nimue-sensei would not be here forever. Desmoshi would have been able to handle this no problem. But her... she didn't even know what was going on with her quirk right now.
After making sure that everything was fine including some medical issues, the rest of the patrol went off without a hitch. As the students walked back to UA, and after everyone left leaving her and Nimue-sensei alone, she said "I am sorry. How I acted with you on the biology trip... and how today went... It's just... I don't know right now." It was the only words she could get off to her teacher. She had been in conflict with her emotions for some time. But who could she talk? She didn't want to seem weak. But she knew she needed to get help and soon.

"Crap," he touted as he arrived to Danica just in time to see her block a punch from the man. His gut reaction was to focus on his quirk and water built up around their feet. Seeing Dani get punched sent a shock through him, and as she called for the time out bubble, it was already forming. "With pleasure." He stepped his foot down and a thin wall of water rose up between the aggressive man and Dani. He didn't want to wrap it around him as that may escalate things even further.
"Oh," he replied as Nimue was suddenly on the scene and the soldier was thrown to the ground. It was a relief to have her on the scene and the wall of water rained harmlessly down to the ground. Ray's arms relaxed but still held the boy steady. In action, Nimue moved with precision and decisiveness. "Got it," he replied and lower the boy to the ground with a slow-flowing font of water. Ray knelt down beside Nimue and observed all the motions she went through. Leg's stretched, turned on side, hand under head.
He looked over to Danica quickly, "Are you alright? Always rushing in I see," he joked but his concern was visible, no matter how cool he tried to play it. A green light from Nimue interrupted the conversation and Ray returned his attention to the healer. After a few minutes, the boy was awake.
"No problem. Thanks for the lesson," he said to Nimue and returned to the boy's side. With all the chaos done the rest was an easy day and they made their way back to the school. "Thanks teacher. that was really helpful. I appreciate the healing lesson too." he said and with a wave began to walk back to the school, with his fellow classmates and checking on Danica's arms one more time.

The Situation seemed like it was going to get out of hand, when suddenly everything started to defuse, Witchdoctor stepped into and downed the soldier, something That Danica hadn’t really thought was the right course of action for herself, mostly because she was still hesitant to act to brashly while under Witchdoctors watch, the idea of her being to quick to act and having any backlash go to witchdoctor clouded her reason, Being a hero was tough these days with more technology, and Media the smallest decision could make you a Pariah, or Famous, they seemed to be two sides of the same coin and Danica wasn’t about to gamble Witchdoctors Reputation because of her actions.
Once she blocked the hit, and Ray Started to put a Wall out, Witchdoctor Swiftly handled the Soldier, Ray had said something about her rushing in but she didn’t hear it over her own heart beat. They were directed by Witchdoctor and told Ray how to place down the injured kid, she knew that they were in good hands, as Witchdoctor started to give a small lesson and started to heal the other kid, Danica moved to the Leopard boy still keeping an watchful eye, making sure that no one tried to interfered. Danica placed her hand over the wounds she found on the kid, from what she could tell there were small bruises were he had been stuck with rocks or other things, she shook her head as she couldn’t help but feel apathetic to the poor leopard kid. Danica would place her hand over the kids bruises, Her eyes would Slowly fill with Black as her pupils expanded to take all the white from here eyes and her fangs protruded from her gums, though she could hide those with her lips she closed her eyes to not dray attention to them before she opened the connection to the child, her Life force and the child’s life force exchanges slowly, and the bruises in which the leopard kid suffered transferred to Danica slowly, before they healed off her. It took quite a bit of time, from time to time she would open her eyes to look around, but still trying not to draw attention to them. Seeing Footwork had the man covered so she didn’t have to worry about him, but she still worried about the others, after the crowed started to dispersed and the solider was handed into the police she felt a little more at ease, her Arms Ached from the hit and they shook slightly as they hooved a few inches away from her patient. Once she felt no more Pull and push from her connection to the kid she would end it, and her eyes would recede to their regular Green iris, and her fangs would pull back into her gums allowing her to loosen the tightness she held in her lips.
What Witchdoctor had Said to the Solider stuck with her, had He Really been using a quirk, while being made about the quirkers, she couldn’t wrap her head around the idea, nor could she tell what the Quirk was, or how Witchdoctor had figured it out.
Once they were getting ready to head back Danica would Thank Witch doctor for the lesson with a slow nod of respect, her arms had a bruise that rested on her forearms but aside from that all the other wound had long since healed. As They Started back Danica would Pat Footwork on her back lightly, “ Hey~ Good job out there” she said in hopes to raise her spirits a bit, Danica had gotten the feeling the she wasn’t happy with how things went, but in situations like these it was hard to make the right call, but she made a call and went for it because she believed it was right and Danica valued that, and had she been in footwork’s position she might not have handled it as good.

She was glad to see all three of them were doing fine and as she had no time to address Mizuki at the point of need, she had to admit she forgot during the rest of their patrol until they arrived at school. "Haymaker-san." She said softly beckoning the girl to come to her and she smiled at her, "I get why you were upset last time, and that's okay. You are doing fine, my dear. You picked one of the most difficult careers ahead of you but I am sure you can do it. If you want to talk another time, come find me at the infirmary alright? Don't hesitate if you feel like you need someone to talk to or someone to discuss your ideas with. I will be there." She did not want the girl to feel inferior to anyone or bad by herself for trying things out or get stubborn for something small. Nimue knew she meant well. She waved goodbye to Ray as she was glad he learned something about healing and she was looking at Danica, who did not ask or say much but she was sure that the girl would know how to ask as well. She was glad to see that the later patted Mizuki on the shoulder. At least, they had some others do depend on and she would return to the infirmary and consider what was going on today to file a rapport to the PSC. Who had been that quirker that pretend he wasn't one?
