[@CloseEnough] [@Crossfire]

Reese was about to object to her staying, it was his fight after all, when she pushed him near the shop wall, listening to her as she spoke to him, something that really caught his attention though was when she mentioned that she had family nearby. The only one he could think of was Aurora, she had mentioned something about her family and the two did share the same eye color, well if that was the case then it made sense why she was so adamant on defeating all the threats in town, not that he'd exactly run at the first sign of danger.

He was about to ask if she was referring to Aurora when the beast came barreling through a wall, covering his ears as it let out a loud roar, well it was here now, if it was anything like a Deathclaw, it wouldn't be easy to take down. Reese grunted a little when he was shoved out of the way, feeling his wound pulse a little in pain, he would've treated it right away if it wasn't for the many dangers going on in the town, he'd just have to tough through it until he could patch himself as well as anyone else up if they needed it.

He watched as she hopped onto the beats back, not sure if she was stupid, crazy, brave or all of the above, though with family on the line, he understood people resorting to unorthodox measures to ensure that they were safe, though that didn't mean he'd just sit on the sidelines, one thing he had a strong feeling about was that even if she directed the beast towards the bandits and raiders, once they were gone, surely it would go on its own rampage. Reese pushed himself off the wall he had been leaning against whilst he had gained some of his stamina back, that leader hit him fairly hard, he was surprised he hadn't broken anything though he was sure of one thing and that was that he'd be sore in the morning, but it was minor in comparison to the others that may be injured.

He quickly went to the back of the shop he had been slammed against moments earlier, climbing up the  ladder that was thankfully there and got on top of the roof. At least this way he could take his time in dispatching enemies and he could recover a bit more, he went over to the front edge of the roof where the sign made a railing of sorts that he could set his rifle up on. When he set his rifle up, he started to glance down at the streets he could see, making sure that there were no bandits attacking anyone, though he couldn't really believe the damage that parts of the town had suffer, though he didn't really expect any less with a small war going on.

The leader slowly backed up when the woman and beast started to approach him, if he was injured like he was, he felt he might be able to take on the large behemoth, though that wasn't the case currently. Some of his thugs managed to come back to where their leader was and noticed the beast that was slowly approaching him.

“Quickly you idiots, the boss is in trouble, take that girl and that damn beast down!” Ral shouted, some pulling out energy pistols, others pulling out assault rifles and began to shoot at the creature approaching their leader, though they were scared, they weren't about to let their leader be killed.

Reese noticed the other bandits there shooting at the creature as well as the woman, he couldn't let her be hit, even if it'd be beneficial for the beast to be killed and then started to shoot at their weapons, the energy ones being easier to pierce and destroy, though when that happened and he was noticed, some shot at him whilst the others continued to shoot at the beast. Reese ducked down behind the small cover he had on the roof, “Damn it, thought I'd at least be able to take out a few more of their guns.” He spoke quietly frustrated to himself.

The leader ran when the beast started to charge, no way was he going to try and brace against that thing, not with how he currently was at least. He noticed Liv waving over to him, holding a laser rifle for him and then when he was close enough, tossed it to him. When he caught it he dove out of the beasts path, starting to fire at it, hoping to do some damage to it, this would surely be one hell of a story if him and his gang survived it, no doubt others would come flocking to join and then they'd be as big as a small army, something the leader smirked about a little as he thought about it.
