The man barely seemed to notice her. She managed to melt the ice prison no problem, and by the time Fallout was free, the man had disappeared down the alley. Dylan followed, and then the first villain reappeared. Fallout and Firefly followed the others over in his direction, and then paused to notice Dylan. The idiot had gone and gotten himself stuck, as well as hurt. His foot, encased in ice, was bent at an odd angle with his leg. The sight made Per's stomach roll, and she paused at her name. Her eyes shot between Dylan, Fallout, and the villain. Dylan was stuck, and he wasn't about to get himself out. Fallout took one look at him and then turned back to the fight, yelling at the iceman. The others were trying to subdue him. She really didn't want to be in an alleyway alone with Dylan. She really really didn't want to fight this guy. But both Dylan and the others needed her. Her eyes flicked between the two, her body frozen in dilemma. 

And then, for a very brief moment, Dylan didn't look like a terrifying monster. He looked like a goofy kid playing dress up who had gotten himself into serious trouble. He looked hurt. 

Within a second, Per had reached him and the ice holding his foot against the ground was turning to water. Her hands were blazing fires, trying to burn out the ice as quick as she could. She wanted to get out of this alley, now. She didn't look at Dylan once, afraid she might decide she was wrong and abandon him for the fight. Normally he was bad, but in his costume? Alone in an alley? Surrounded by ice? The situation couldn't get much worse.

Until it did. Suddenly a small can rolled over to the two of them, and before either could move a pink gas started to smoke out of it. On instinct Per scooted backwards and tried to kick it away from them, but it didn't budge. It was stuck to the ground. She turned to Dylan - they needed to get up and out of there now. Her eyes landed on his bright face, and then all of the colors smeared together and the alley turned sideways, and something hit her left side and then everything was black. 

Two men appeared from the shadows, darting out and grabbing the unconscious clown and firefly, before dragging them back into the shadows and disappearing.
