With their hostage in tow the Marta lady was slowly making her way backwards. She was up against a set of freaks sure but that could probably work in her favor. The moment she felt she could make a break for the main streets she could just start screaming till the public were on her side. A young woman running with a child screaming for help while a godzilla bitch, a panther, and a tooth maniac chased her down? (and Lyra but she wasn't really all that freakish...) Yeah she liked her odds in that case. Just a few more steps ba-
"What the-!?" She felt the gross quirk teeth wrap around her hand, her eyes widening yet her gaze sharpening, tugging hard against them before feeling the handle end of her blade slam into the underside of her jaw, gasping at the sensation of pain, and too panicked she relied more than she should on instinct, dropping the child and reaching for her jaw, both trying to suppress the pain and make a grab for her blade again. The teeth moved quickly however, locking her wrists and ankles together. An effort to reach for the child having her fall to her front beside them, one of the vigilantes likely swooping in quickly to separate them.
"N-no! NO!" She all but hissed as she was brought down, squirming on the ground to try and get closer to the vigilantes, the timid, withdrawn nature of the woman they'd been protecting thrown aside, her skin slowly turning a paler shade, hanging more loosely against her features, her hair turning old, dry and frizzy, some strands breaking from how they were pulled to the back of her head. Her voice holding more of a raspy tone as the age clearly came to her features. "Just let me have them! T-they're a useless meat sack now anyway!"
Aaaand she would be right... the child's eyes were open, he was breathing. He may stand on his own two feat, but it was clear any efforts to get a clear response out of him beyond a turn of the head, maybe a shift in his eyes, wouldn't get any results.
Back at the edge of the building, the Ice man would just be about working his way to his feat, gritting his teeth as the spear was drawn from his leg, panting harshly. Thankfully the heat of the thing had made it cauterize it's own wounds but... it still pained him to put pressure on it, even using his quirk to try and ice-pack it. "As much as I appreciate the rather... out of the blue offer... I'm here today because it pays... I prefer doing the nice work like this but it dosn't really come around very often... besides. There's your answer right there. I didn't have to kill you so why do it?" He rose to a full stand, rolling his shoulders back, expecting the vigilante lot here to take him in despite his intentions. "Tell you what though... you find a way for me to feed myself and work with you guys and maybe I'll give a damn..."
Teruko was coming back from dropping off the kids, he took a heavy breath, pushing himself closer. "Hey... I get paid either way if those kids are safe but you said I wasn't giving them a choice, so you give it to 'em... there's a woman lookin' to take care of 'em the other side of the flames. Red head with a mask and a cloak, flowery dragon quirk... the system, you, or her. You can lie by omission and not give 'em the choice to go with someone you'd call a villain but hey... I did give 'em the choice, so I think it's fair you do too..." He looked between the lizard lady and Lyra, sighing and shaking his head. "If you guys let me go I'll stick with you the rest of the day... keep the fires iced out so you can make your way through the place. What'ya say?"

Right being a big black panther wasn't always the most useful thing, having no hands for example. Thumbs more like it though, he had paws that was fine it was just the rest... the fact he had to bite his own skin to bleed over the ice... it was tough. But well being tough was what happened when he decided to drop his villain life and try to do better. Partly to blame on Enda, but if it was completely bad was another question. Right now it was Enda who was the hero, who saved the kid from the knife. And when she dropped the kid, he tried to jump forward to break the fall, have it fall on his sturdy fur body before it rolled off and got up on his feet. Bare feet, what the heck was happening here and he looked up. Some strange odour had come to his nose and he just ugh, almost flinched. He wanted to gag when he saw it though. She what? He hunched down, he couldn't help but change back, his blue hair in contrast with the air and the light of the fire from the building.
"Hey-Hey are you okay?" He asked the boy, not sure what he was trying? He needed to make sure he was like... alive, he was breathing, having a pulse, anything? He felt like even though they won, they still lost? But there was no winning in the beginning and he tried lifting up the child and look around helplessly for Enda or Teruko with what to do. Sometimes... Akiva was his own big child... He felt like there was no winning in this world for anything. He wished his first real vigilante job hadn't been so.. so like this. So empty, so everything. He just stood there, "What do we do now?"

[nospaces][googlefont=Open+Sans:400,700,700i|Oswald:300,600] [attr=class,punkienda] [attr=class,absolute-holder] [attr=class,image-back accentbg] [attr=class,image] [attr=class,line1] [attr=class,line2] [attr=class,wordcount] tooth fairy [attr=class,lyric1] i'm sorry, not sorry [attr=class,lyric2] for what i said [attr=class,bulk]
Cringing a bit as he watched the woman's body rapidly age like something fresh out of a morbid fairy tale, she insisted that the child was a useless meat sack. If that were the case, she wouldn't be flipping a shit and have gone out of her way to manipulate those around her! God damn, he may not be the sharpest or brightest, but even he wasn't that brand of stupid! As a matter of fact, seeing how the kid held themselves and what happened to this bitch...his noggin smacked two and two together. "You're one sick sunnuva bitch, you know that? I bet you fuckin' do..."
[break][break]
Practically growling those words under his breath as he gradually closed his hands, twisting both of his hands which would cause the woman's restraints to grind and twist at her flesh and bone. Biting back his words from incriminating him right down the river, he was so close to breaking her body slowly, let her feel every single shred of ounce and pain. No, but no...he left that ghost of the past behind him and he silently swore to himself he'd avoid going down that path as much as possible. Torture his victim until they died...that isn't who he was anymore. Tilting his head slightly...a small piece of his mind toyed with such a thought since this vile woman deserved it.
[break][break]
But you know what...?
[break][break]
The tooth fairy put on a smile and kept the woman in place while glancing over at the others, a tone that was suspiciously sweet, "Mmmmmhmmm~! I think that sounds good, we'd be pretty stupid not to take that offer~! Heh heh...I mean liiiike if we can save more kids, it's worth it in my book, isn't it~? Anywhoooo~ I gotta watch over the trash like a good boy so it doesn't get away~" For now, he'd restrain himself from doing anything too harsh...allow Teruko and the others to have a say in how they should handle her, more importantly, allow them to consider finding out if there was anything else they should be aware of regarding this wretched place.
[break][break]
If the majority so ruled for her execution after her interrogation, you know, once her usefulness to them dwindled, he'd fling her body into the flames and let it look like an unfortunate accident. This was one of those circumstances where he wouldn't argue and defend someone's right to live...after all, who knows what horrors these children faced because of her? Making her death look like an unfortunate happenstance would be oh so simple with all the right circumstances, hell, he'd even go out of his way to position her to look like natural causes....just like old times. This woman's fate was in his team's hands...he would simply comply to their requests...that's all~

Post by Teruko Serizawa on Sept 16, 2020 0:58:19 GMT -4
GUARDIAN PERIL IT WAS A BRIEF JOG back towards the building—but with the smoke that had inevitably filled the kaiju woman’s lungs and the mild exercise, she was breathing raggedly by the time she returned to the hole in the wall about the time that the formerly-shrieking-like-a-banshee woman had been separated from the child and, now decrepit, was snarling about how useless the felled child was. Without the context of who the white-haired woman was, and how she’d come to be there (and also come to be restrained by Enda), the kaiju was more confused by the confrontation than much else. She just needed to see if she could find more of the kids. She didn’t have time for… whatever this was. The others seemed to have it under control. The kaiju pulled herself in through the hole in the wall, grunting slightly at the effort. It was about the time that she hoisted herself up that the ice man started to speak to her again. Behind the cloth-mask over her nose, Teruko’s lip curled involuntarily over her fangs. Lyra might have extended him the olive branch, but to Teruko, he was just the sketch-ass hooded figure that had held kids hostage in a burning building. One good deed, and some words to the contrary of this man’s poor choices, were not enough to convince her of otherwise. “Way ahead of you,” Teruko growled, “I gave them that choice the first chance I had—me, you, or the cops. They’ll be back if they choose you or the cops.”Otherwise, good luck getting her to fess-up to where the kids were hiding, Mr. Child Endangerment. And while Enda seemed more than eager to get help from the ice-man, Teruko was decidedly more skeptical of the arrangement, particularly given the man’s… first impressions. She surveyed Akiva who, now human form, cradled the listless child… the old crone that wanted the child back, currently manacled by Enda… she started to construct a narrative. The boy had to be important. And Enda was entirely too chipper for as fearful as Akiva’s face was. Something was wrong. Teruko brushed the kid’s cheek with her knuckle, looking for some sort of reaction… and earned none. It was like the lights were on, but the house was empty. Teruko inhaled deeply then sighed, letting her hand fall to Akiva’s shoulder, instead. Anyone she didn’t know personally was worthy of suspicion. Time to make some decisions. She spoke to Akiva first. “We keep the child away from her,” the crocodilian said simply, “We’ll figure-out if we take the kid with us, or let the cops have him. Keep him safe?”The kaiju then touched Enda’s shoulder, relieved to see that he was in one piece and visibly uninjured. She gave his shoulder a squeeze. He knew what to do. Then, she turned to Lyra and the Ice-Man. If he pulled anything stupid, the two women could keep him in line. “Let’s see if we can’t find any more kids, yeah?” the woman offered, “Take the lead, Ice Man.”At his word, the kaiju would follow him off, back into the wreckage. … Teruko was crossing the grounds of the orphanage when the peal of sirens stretched over the landscape and flooded her senses. Their sweep of the building had turned-up a few more kids, some of whom flanked Teruko now, but now it was time to get the heck out of there. The ex-actress had no legitimate reason for being at the scene of a fire, and she couldn’t talk her way out of this one—so the only option was to bolt. She followed the route that the kids had led her before, into the familiar alley, to the hole in the wall where the youths had slipped through. She brushed the detritus out of the way, peering into the hole in the wall. “…told you I’d be back,” she said cheekily, cracking a toothy smile. No sooner had she uttered this greeting, Teruko would jovially beckon the gaggle of kids out of hiding, announcing to any who wanted to follow her that the "last bus" was departing the station and heading home. | ft. enda, akiva, lyra, + st!yumi quirk: e-rank durability, strength, range; f-rank wealth, culinary arts ooc notes: |

Lyra listened to the Ice Man intently trying to really get a read of him. She wasn't as concerned with the idea that he'd betray them given that he was greatly outnumbered and had struggled against just her and Akiva she was more concerned with his intentions as she truly wondered if what he was saying was something he actually believed or was just to get them to leave him alone? Being as naive as she was she thought for a moment as she was unable to see this man's eyes.[break][break]
"I'm sure we can figure out a way to make money!" she didn't exactly like talking about doing hero work for profit but in this case, she understood what the man meant as he was most likely wearing the huge coat for quirk related reasons "Right Teruko-san?" she nudged Teruko as she believed she was probably the smartest and most responsible one here. As Teruko affirmed her suggestion Lyra smiled brightly as she followed the ice man farther into the building "You know" she was running side by side with him trying to get to the most dangerous spot possible to put out the fire "Our quirks actually work great together!" [break][break]
~~ [break][break]
Panting as she finally regrouped with the other covered in soot and face red from all the running and quirk usage she had followed Teruko back to the kids hiding place before she turned to address the ice man. "Here!" she handed him her phone number "Contact me if you're ever looking for work or a more permanent job" she gave him a smile and wave letting him go freely. "Teruko-san I'll help with the children!" they seemed to not be scared of Teruko at all but just in case there were a few that were more nervous given her appearance she figured since her quirk had no effect on her appearance that being near her would put the more frightened children at ease. She took the hand of a few of the more shy children and soon between her and Teruko they had over a dozen little ones following them. "Time to go home!"
