It was a valiant effort, trying to talk to Scarlet still. However in the few second it took for the shifter to change Reaper’s shadows around her feet were already starting to bubble and curl akin to embers from a dying blaze, ready for a fight as Reaper took in the painfully slow transformation. Considering the huge fangs now directly in front of her it was a miracle that Turn Back distracted the cat enough that she wasn’t missing a chunk of skin. Ears were still ringing from that roar though.
	
Then Levi came in and stabbed the very brittle floor. And put lightning through it.

“[i]I bet Wall Walker’s teams isn’t having these kinds of problems,[/i]” Was Reaper’s last thoughts before instinct came over her, along with the debris of a crumbling second floor. Throwing her arms above her head as though to protect it saw her shadow surging up and materializing around the vigilante, forming a sort of dome. Even with the protection above however the fall was still hard, landing with all the grace of a drunk kitten, and saw pain shoot up her legs – only to immediately disappear. Well, not precisely – Reaper would be feeling it as soon as her suppression wore off. Now wasn’t the time to focus on it however, and soon Reaper was shadow stepping to another part of the kitchen – letting the debris over her head fall behind her.

Scarlet was already on the move with Turn Back in tow, almost literally. The other vigilante was doing his damndest to make it harder for the tiger to escape with him, but that thing was [i]huge[/i]. However with it pressed up against the door frame did provide a unique opportunity. Flexing her fingers briefly Reaper quickly lifted them and gripped the air, and in tandem two shadow claws burst from either side of the room. Seeing TB’s intention as he hit the wound quickly had Reaper adjusting her target however to grab onto Scarlet’s front legs instead, down near the paw with the claw – she had no doubt Scarlet would be trying to get vengeance for a blow that harsh. Following the motions of her hands the claws then yanked back, trying to yank the tiger’s footing right out beneath her. It might’ve been hard with a regular sized tiger, let alone one the size of Scarlet’s transformation, but with any luck Turn Back’s blow would make her lose her pawing just enough. Of course, what they really needed now…

“Tank! Now would be the time to disregard structural safety!”
