Scarlet’s gaze was hard and calculating, teeth clenched tightly together as she stared Turn Back down. “Ditch, huh?” She muttered. “That idiot? Pathetic. Thinking it’s their duty to protect this piece of shit city.. Making promises they can’t keep. Umbra isn’t going down against some little cyber bully who can’t bother to show their face on the battlefield.” Her arms were crossed, and she dug her fingernails into her own skin, anger beginning to seep into her words. “I don’t need a place to recover. I am recovering fan-fucking-tastic right here.” She glared at Turn Back. “Of course you’ve seen me before, idiot. I’m all over the news.” 

“A safer alternative.” She mocked, voice filled with bitterness. “I’m always gonna be in danger, no matter if there’s some big-shot freak running around the city. This is the life I’ve made for myself. And the safety of others is not my problem.”

“No,” She said sharply, posture tightening. “I don’t want any part of your stupid ass team, and I don’t need any help. I want you [i]out. NOW.[/i]” And with that, immediately something shifted within the red haired maiden. Her teeth sharpened, her pupils changing. Fur grew, fingernails turned into claws and hands turned into paws. The bandaging on her shoulder ripped and tore. The transformation was fast - but both Reaper and Turn Back stood so close that they could see it unfold before their eyes.

A tiger. A giant white tiger with unnaturally red stripes, a bullet hole in the shoulder, and the scariest glowing red eyes. A miracle the floor hadn’t caved in yet, though it was probably nearing that. 

She opened her mouth, exposing her long rows of pointed teeth, and she roared. An ear piercing roar that echoed out through the entire house, for all the vigilantes to hear.
