[u][i]Samson Isiah Jeross.[/i][/u]

Dammit. Samson lost sight of the girl in the hood. He had a question that desperately needs answering, and she was the only person who could answer it. And he is determined. When that happens, there ain't anything that can stop him. The horn of a taxi certainly gave away Tara's position. He turned his head and spotted her right across the street, diving into a side alley but Samson already saw her. Crap. He could lose her... Unless he picked up the pace. Samson immediately rushed down the alleyway, his fists were balled just in case he ran into anything. By the time he got into the alleyway, he saw the girl running so fast it put Usain Bolt to shame. As he ran down the alleyway, he put his hand straight out, trying to call out to her, "Hey, I-" He was cut off when he noticed the tripwire tug against his foot. Well, shit. He didn't know what the hell he just activated. "... Fuck!" His life flashed before his eyes as he expected it to be a bomb. But it was nothing but a smoke bomb. Jesus, he felt relieved! But he was coughing violently, and he used his hand to try to push the smoke away. Where the hell did the [i]Skulls[/i] get this kind of gear? This is something that the Vanguard would use... Maybe this chick was stealing some Vanguard gear for the Skulls. Which made it even more important to catch this chick before she does anything. 

It was time to throw subtly out the window, that chick was fast and there was no way he could catch her on foot. He sprinted before he jumped high up into the air, as he ascended, he was wrapped in a glorious flaming aura. Samson had to catch up with Tara, and fast. He darted through the air like a missile, gunning for Tara's booty. He didn't notice this, but it looks like the trail he was leaving behind was made of feathers....

[u][i]Reiko Silas Ain.[/i][/u]

What made Reiko even more irritable was the fact that she was being used as a stand-in for Titus. Because just because she can regenerate, that makes her the punching bag for any new recruit. What kind of foolishness is that? She was a Huntress, shoulders above these young, drunken, fools. Reiko couldn't help but roll her eyes up into her head, close them for a second, then shake her head. "... Remind me to eat that fool." She muttered underneath her breath. She wished that she had her wine. But whatever. This Mia woman seemed confident... Strange confidence was always something she was wary of. For everyone has a reason to be confident. Even that fool Titus had a reason - Even though he can't use that reason worth shit. Though, Mia's cocky attitude annoyed the elegant Reiko. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad making this girl fear the name [i]Lady Wolf[/i].

Damian, the one foolhardy one that Skeleton has employed, patted her on the shoulder and whispered into her ear. Telling her they'll keep her [i]safe[/i]. Hmph, she didn't last this long by being [i]easy[/i] to kill. She was fairly certain that she could hold her own against this woman. "What me, worry? I never do." Her hand was mostly healed at this point. Though, her hand reeked of fine wine and blood. And she's about to get even more blood on them...

Reiko twisted her face into a frown when Mia held the door open for her - She thought she was being cute, wasn't she? "Why thank you..." She said dryly, rolling her eyes again and stepping out the door. Just like they said, she walked out in the middle of the street. She faced Mia and slowly lifted her feet out of her boots and kicked one over with her heel. These boots wouldn't be helping her now. Reiko stared directly at Mia, her eyes were narrowed towards the woman. She knew that if she transformed into a beast, there would be no hope for Mia - But she digressed. Revealing her [i]true[/i] form for such an significant fight? That wasn't worth the drawbacks. Reiko's apex predator form would have to suffice for now. 

Here they are. In the City of fool's Gold... Ready to spill blood for it's amusement.

A loud growl came out of her mouth, getting muffed by her hands. She hunched over, and over, until she got on one knee, slamming her palm against the concrete. The same hand grew long, jagged, claws, almost like knives made out of bone. Her other hand grew the same exact claws, before her feet grew shorter claws. A massive pair of wings had erupted from her back in a splash of blood, which was immediately corrected by her regeneration. Wings that were similar in shape to bats (They even had twitching fingers at the end), but they were twice as large as her body. A thick tail sprouted from behind her, right above her waist. It was almost as thick as her arm, but had a spear-like blade at the end. Finally, Reiko's teeth elongated until they were all like a shark's. Every one of these teeth were on full display, as her cheek-skin, and lips, shed, until everyone could see her inhuman teeth.

Reiko was ready as she'll ever be. But she was taking the defensive until she knows what Mia is capable of. It would be stupid to blindly rush at her. She loudly roared, it didn't sound bestial, it sounded deeper but definitely the kind of roar a woman would make. All in an attempt to get everyone's attention....
