[color=7bcdc8]Got you.[/color] Wraith grinned like a shark as her fist made contact with Walker's face. He seemed surprised at her attack. Not so nice when you were the one taken off-guard. She lunged forward, preparing a blow that would just about split the guy's head in two, when she noticed Ditch at the end of the alleyway. [color=7bcdc8]Dammit![/color] she couldn't stop the blow, but she changed the angle of her swing enough that it flew just past his head. The rest of the group seemed to be catching up as well. She'd be surprised if a few of them hadn't seen her hit Walker, which wasn't great.

[b]"We're not trying to hurt you."[/b] Ditch said to Walker. Wraith glared at her furiously. [color=7bcdc8]"Speak for yourself."[/color] she muttered, making sure that it was just loud enough for Walker to hear it. [color=7bcdc8]Why are we trying to protect a damn criminal?[/color] Wraith was not happy. Ditch's vague answers weren't helping her mood either. Luckily, she didn't seem to be the only one that felt this way, as Graffiti landed next to Ditch and voiced the same complaints that Wraith was thinking of. [color=7bcdc8]Imagine that! Someone here has sense after all[/color].

Wraith was surprised, however, when Graffiti addressed her directly. [color=9e005d]"You cant tell me this isn't a little strange, I've read about your good work in the city, you ain't soft on these bastards, and why should you be?"[/color] before Wraith could answer, though, several things seemed to happen at once. Ecto swooped down and seemed to possess Walker, which startled her slightly, though she wasn't opposed to frightening the guy. She hoped that Ecto would have the sense to get out when he had to, though. She didn't want to be forced into harming an innocent person.

Raven also cut her off, trying to talk down Graffiti from her position. Sadly for her, and for Walker, she had chosen the wrong one to focus on. Wraith looked Walker directly in the eyes as she spoke, her own eyes looking as though she were a lion about to pounce on an antelope. [color=7bcdc8]"I'm with you on this one, Graffiti. I don't see why we're bothering to warn this scumbag in the first place. I also don't see why I should listen to the orders of someone who hides behind a screen instead of getting their hands dirty. Luckily, I have the perfect way to get an explanation from our [i]fearless leader[/i]."[/color] as she was speaking, her grin grew wider, and she lunged forward in the blink of an eye, reducing the density of her hand and plunging it into Walker's ribcage.

[color=7bcdc8]"Now, before any of you flip at me, I'm gonna say that what I'm doing right now will do him no harm whatsoever. I mean, if I hurt him, who know what would happen to our ghostly friend? I don't want any unnecessary accidents happening anyway. Not to anyone other than this criminal."[/color] she looked at Ditch. She couldn't find this that surprising, really. After all, Wraith had only agreed to this business for the opportunity to track down more enemies of justice. She wasn't going to help them stay alive.

[color=7bcdc8]"The thing is, Ditch, I don't operate the way you want me to. And keeping my hand insubstantial like this is an effort. As soon as I stop, well, that's when accidents become necessary, I'm afraid."[/color] she really did hope that Ecto got out before that happened. She didn't really know the guy, but he seemed to have good intentions. Still, Wraith would do what had to be done. It was the kind of justice that people like Walker deserved.

[color=7bcdc8]"So, [i]boss[/i], clock's ticking. You'd better give me a very good reason to keep this guy alive."[/color]
