"EEEEH?!" She could not help but let the sound escape her lips when staring at her mentor, "You-you-you mean we go there, right now?" Her big golden eyes stared at her mentor, her mouth agape as she could not really understand what he was saying, surely his words hit her but her brain was like error, question mark, error, excuse me? Parle no other language than Japanese or English, s'il vous plaît?! It wasn't really that Rowan wanted to complain to Shockwave that she wasn't ready for this but SHE WAS NOT READY FOR THIS! A prison break and you would bring her out her on well sort of her own? She had just managed to control her power, to do everything right and now this?! She gave him a tiny smile, "I mean, of course, it's our job?" But she was still an apprentice, was he sure he shouldn't go alone and she would stay here, help civilians? Kick some small people away that wanted to make use of this situation? Anything? No? Okay... prison it is. That meant that there was no longer a second to waste and Rowan hurried after her teacher. She looked up as he asked if she had everything, well as she was dressed to the job, she was wearing her hero outfit. Her outfit had been updated by Charlie and she now had a small canon-like construction on her arms that carried tennis-balls, six on each side. Strapped to her upper arm and read to fire with the right mechanism. Strapped to her sides were still the marbles and the bouncing balls, yes, the update had been necessary and luckily for her she had it. Boots strapping her legs correctly and she was ready to do so. Lowering her visor that was just to avoid shrapnel into her eyes was everything that was necessary. The command that she would be on her own because it would be a mess right there, made her sweat a little. Well, she wasn't entirely alone Itsuki was there, but he wouldn't be able to watch her, protect her or anything on her own, she was... on her own. She quickly managed to grab her phone out of her pocket and text Sean and her parents; Stay inside, it's dangerous. x Rowan Putting it in a pocket on her right hip and sipping the pocket shut made her able to run a little more, but the closer they got to the prison, the more clammy her hands felt. Right. Time for action, she took a deep breath and looked up to Itsuki again and gave a firm nod, "I will know how to call you in case I can't save myself but I am sure, you taught me a lot after all, sensei." She tried to sound confident, she knew Itsuki knew her better by now but it was her job to handle this and she was going to do so, and thus she split away from him, not too far, but jumping into the business. Her hands already heating up to get ready, she should block off this road so they would not be able to escape through all the alleys, she looked around to see key points of rumble or something to collapse, time for action and strategy, she found an old abandoned house, it was clear considering the graffiti and the windows that were shut with planks, she used the planks to blow off bigger pieces of the fragile house. Ha, that was one! Okay, this was one road and she would have to go on to find the next, just making sure they could not come from behind her, was one thing?

His heart was pounding. Every muscle in his body screamed, every instinct fired off like a cascade of sparks through his body. He was free. Free at last to get away from that awful place. The guards didn't know. They had no idea. Nobody in the government knew. Only a few of the prisoners knew. What was really going on in there. He cursed under his breath when he stumbled over a trash bin, causing it to fall to the ground and clatter. He looked over his shoulder at the fires rising up over the city, a burning storm of anger and hate directed at hero society. By her. He saw the look in her eyes. He was close enough to the front. He knew that she had some small inkling of what had grown inside that hodge-podge prison.
Taisei staggered into an alley and struggled to gulp down a series of shuddering breaths. His insides felt dry. The fires were getting to him. He looked at his hands, cracks forming in his skin that sealed themselves. He needed to get away, to survive, play this mad woman's game so he could have another chance. He grit his teeth, another chance at revenge, another chance at getting away from the monsters that had lurked inside of Fuchu. To get away from him. He clenched his teeth and shuddered again. Those dead white eyes, that blue skin... that monster. He turned and peered down the alley. He had more important things to worry about and he was certain that thing wasn't going to come after him just yet. He had time to get his vengeance and to enjoy the bloodletting.
He drew his fingers into a fist, his hand turning a dark red color, cracks and edges formed on his skin as an explosion sounded around a corner. He leaned against it and peered out to see what was causing all the ruckus. A...woman? No a girl. He narrowed his eyes and dug his hand into the wall next to him, ripping a brick from it and pressing it against his face. The brick seemed to... dissolve and reform, taking the shape of a mask not so different from a skull. This chick was in his way. He had to get out of here as fast as possible, even if it meant through her.
He slipped around the corner and into the shadows cast by the flames around them, pressing his body against the house and moving in a straight line to see how close he could get to the girl.

She had decided to block down the roads with rubble and buildings that needed to be rebuild anyway. That was obviously easier said than done. Rowan bumped into one abandoned house, but that had just been pure beginner's luck. Pulling the planks away from the windows to use as ammunition to not ruin her own, she managed to get some bigger blocks from the tall building down and into the street next to it. She should stay actively around to make sure she did not block off any civilians, but it seemed to be empty here already. The windows did not show any sign of life as she looked up to the buildings around her, but then again, people might be hiding in their bathrooms, bedrooms or hallways and she wondered if that again shouldn't be her priority. Being on her own for the first time, was something and it made her nervous and overconfident. She could do this, heck yea she could, she had practised with her quirk so much and so often, that the control was elegant and simple now, that she even knew how to make bigger and better powerful bursts was wonderful. But what was her job? She did not want to be a hero at the forefront, she wanted to be behind, be tactical, be useful and not immediately burning civilians or her colleagues with the powerful explosions she could make. But she could make explosions to villains too, shouldn't that be considered powerful and useful? It was a very hard debate.
Rowan for the second time checked her handiwork. Okay that would do and she might see if she... hm climbing gear, she could ask that of the team later on. Or something to be more agile or mobile. She looked at her feet, okay that were thoughts for another time. Rowan turned around to go continue forward to the prison when she thought she saw something or rather someone. But she did not see anything, her eyes must be betraying her from her anxiety. But was there someone lurking already? How far was it from the prison? Not really that far, that's why she split from Itsuki-sensei and he was going to the prison and she was just... well just standing aside at this point and look at the shadows. This was not that dumb right? She felt her hands twitch and touch the canon-like construction but she wasn't sure if she should do anything with it or just... go. She was probably imagining things and thus Rowan turned away to walk into the other direction, however, her eyes and ears were open. She was sure she heard a footstep and turned around again, "Right, come out big boy." She had no idea, but the sarcastic levels she has seen from other heroes, is why she did so. Be prepared, you are Lady Inferno now and she will win. She won from Lady in a weird fight, now she would only do better, because she was prepared and in control.

Taisei froze, his head pressed against the wall, his throat had gone completely dry. Why? Why was this happening to him? He drew the brick to his face and placed the mask over his head, making sure it fit snug enough to cover details. He didn't have any fancy glowing quirk that distorted appearance like that Ishtar witch. He snarled, stepping around the corner as bricks began to leak off the wall he was touching. He bore his teeth and tilted his head forward; "You're in my way, hero," Taisei growled. "I ain't got time to waste here and I'm not going back to that place..." He snarled, grasping and digging his fingers into the wall.
"You'll have to KILL ME!" He cried.
He stepped to the left a few paces, taking a few bricks with him before ducking into a charge. He wasn't going to waste time with quips and conversation. He had to get away. He needed to. If he went back, that thing, that man, could still be there, waiting, watching, his voice in his head, his words twisting and coiling, his malice burning unlike anything he'd ever seen. He shuddered at the thought, losing his focus just for a moment, terror twisting his thoughts inside out. He stumbled to the left, catching himself on the street and rolling, covering his head before stopping on his knees. "BAAHH!" He screamed, slamming his fists on to the pavement, "DAMN IT!" He growled and looked up at her, his eyes unsteady. "No..."

She had no idea if there was really someone but she rather be on time and doing something carefully than actually being hit from behind, chances were still there of course. She had no sharp hearing, god Jisatsu or Kumoko would be good for that as well, though the last was a second year, for her sake Rowan hoped she wasn't around. She wondered what will happen now, she held her left hand on the cannon on her right arm. Her golden eyes trying to see if she literally was something but well... wait, was something moving? It was of course not the brightest light at this hour and the streets and she narrowed her eyes. She felt a shiver going down her spine when the person showed up and what he said. But he was right, she was a hero so she watched him with the same expression. Rowan wanted to retort that he wasn't going anywhere and that there was a prison cell with his name on it but he yelled at her first and that made her look disgusted. Seriously, did villains or whatever criminal this was, only think about killing? She took a deep breath and realized she had to do something instead of standing there like an idiot.
She jumped aside, though in the end that wasn't necessary and she watched him fall and scream and she still turned the canon to him, without supporting it with her left hand, she had a bouncing ball already in her left hand but she did not get it. He yelled and screamed and she just tilted her head, looking carefully at him, even if he was a criminal... if something bad happened there, shouldn't they like bring him somewhere else? Didn't criminals also have the right to be safe. "No?" She asked, still hesitating, she was sure that if Itsuki would come now he would kick her ass. "Okay wait, what happened? Are you hurt?" She knew she was hesitant to use her quirk but she was able to hit him from quite a distance, so if he would get up and run now, she was sure the explosions would follow him and she was quite accurate with it. There was no harm in trying to really be the good guy right?

He trembled, pushing back against the ground with his hands to scoot away from her. No. Not like this. He couldn't go back like this. There was no way. This was too easy! He had been such a big shot on the street when he was younger. Was it really so different now! NO! NO! No it was impossible! He dug his fingertips into the pavement, they seemed to slip in like he had pressed them into butter or ice cream. His pupils shrank, smaller, smaller, shaking wildly with a madness that he could barely acknowledge. Then... something broke. He tilted his head forward, his eyes becoming full once more.
"I knew it... it's you, isn't it? Epoch. I knew it. You sick bastard!" His voice rose and rose in volume until it became shrill. "No you won't! You won't get me this time! I'll kill this illusion of yours, murder it! I'll smash it! Then I'll finally be free of you!" He laughed, reaching up and grabbing at his own face, tears welling in his eyes. Pavement was clinging to his arm and beginning to move up his legs and back. "I-I-I..." He pulled, yanking up on the pavement and wrapping his body in hard-semi-stone. His instincts flaring, Taisei would do anything to kill what he believed in his own broken mind was a hallucination. He threw himself at Rowan, black-clad arms raised over his head in a downward swing to crack open her skull.

Who the hell was this guy talking about? She did not get anything about it. At first she thought this guy was afraid of someone within the prison and she did think that prisoners had the same right to security as any other person, that meant still going to prison but at least making sure he was mentally doing okay? He did not seem to be close to doing okay? Okay... maybe prison made you crazy? She wanted to make sure he wasn't hurt or anything but she wasn't going to let this guy off easy if this was a trick. However, he did not seem to notice her at all but seeing things she didn't, speaking names she didn't hear or see. She turned to look over her shoulder, making sure that she wasn't doing something silly and bumping into another guy. She took a few more steps backwards when this guy now spoke about murder and looked at her.
She quickly jumped aside, managed to make a half attempt for a roll once she fell on her stomach and just get up quickly when she was away from him. "Okay one crazy psycho at the time." She mumbled to herself, she needed to prepare, turning her hands in bright light, heat coming off of it and she would grab her weapon, which was just the bouncing balls that hung on her belt. Surely with rolling they had pushed into her hips but fine, she would survive that rather than the stone he was throwing at her. Seriously? Pavement?! She would just try to continue, tossing the bouncing balls at him and trying to figure out how durable it was. She wasn't sure if her strength was enough and she heaved her left arm, the canon-like construction that Charlie made for her would shoot off tennis balls that would suddenly give a bigger explosion than she had thought and she pushed her hands against her ringing ears? Really? What was going on?

He staggered past her, having failed his first attack. His eyes were wide; manic. There was nothing left of sanity there. Whatever horrors he had seen it had been too much for his mind to handle. He bore his teeth; "Where are your fuck-ugly tentacles, Epoch?! I know you're plotting to..." He spun around, swatting at something unseen before stopping, confused and looking back at her. He saw the incoming balls, light glowing off of them, instinct kicked in and he threw his hands up, blocking his face with a cry of fear as the explosion kicked him off his feet and sent him tumbling head over heel toward the nearest lamp post.
Flames, burning over the city, looked dim in the light she created. He rolled onto his size, his hair frizzed and his face covered in small burns but his eyes still alert. He pushed himself over, the pavement crumbling off of his wrists as he began to grasp at the ground looking for another material to defend himself with. He kept muttering, hastily, desperately, looking-praying. "Not this time. No. No way. No way in hell. I'll get away. You'll see. Never again, never again, never again," He rasped, reaching for the pole. He felt his fingers dig in, his eyes tearing up with desperation, his quirk began to kick in. "Pleaseee..." He whispered.

This was what she was afraid off, as her insane criminal got up, she noticed the burnt patches on his face and she bit the inside of her cheek. He deserved it, he was a criminal. Still, it felt wrong to inflict such damage on a person, no matter what their background was. However, this man was crazy and who knew what he was going to do next. She needed to fight, she needed to stop him, he was arrested and put in Fuchu for a reason. One day she would be alone, there would be no Shockwave to look after her and this was going to be a turning point if she wanted to be alright by herself. Right now meant everything to her and she was going to work on it. Even if the explosions turned bigger than she expected, she wasn't going to stop.
He finally seemed to get that she was here to arrest him, that she was here and not the man or person who he was calling out to. Maybe, she could try and convince Igarashi-sensei that this man needed another facility, away from this Epoch but she wasn't going to talk to a maniac as they would not listen anyway. She heard it though, his pleading, like a whisper in the wind. She should remain alert if she got what his quirk did; taking the property of what he touched, he would now get the metal of that pole but she needed to know. "I can't let you just go but we can keep you away from this person." Heroic, stupid that was it for sure, she knew that, but she got to try and give people a fair chance. That's what it taught her, if Ganbaroshi-san, Nakahara-san, Jeagar-san and Shockwave had not given her this opportunity, she be in a ditch, kidnapped, different, everything, she wasn't going to give up on her second chance.

He stared at her as the metal began to seep onto his skin. It didn't look like the pavement had. While the pavement had gone on easily, his skin began to crack and peel under the density of the material. Even so, his eyes were on her, pupils small, mad, terrified. He cracked a smile; "Keep me away? Away? From Epoch? You don't get away from Epoch! You don't! You can't! He's in your head! He's in my head! He's in everyone's head!" He lowered his voice, tears pouring from his eyes; "You just don't know it yet, but he's there, he's here, watching..." His lips trembled.
"Mmh..." He whimpered, the metal reaching his shoulder.
"I'M NOT GOING BACK!" He screamed, lunging at the young hero with all the ferocity he could manage. Tears streaming from his face. He whipped his metal clad arm around, trying to catch her on the side of the head and incapacitate her. He had to get away. He needed to. "NO MORE NIGHTMARES!" He howled, waving his arm frantically as if it was some kind of club. Blood began to seep from the cracks in his skin where his quirk had overloaded his body. He bore his teeth and swung his club arm again and again, hurling himself in her direction.
