Gweyr jumped as she heard the voice from behind. Whirling around, she looked at the man in the black coat and hat. The voice was unnerving enough, but with the obvious attempt to hide his face... This man did not mean well. Backing up, she looked towards the end of the alley, where the cars roared past, the rain keeping the drivers from noticing Gweyr's distress. There was only one way to keep him from assaulting her, but Gweyr hoped it wouldn't come to that.

"U-Um, sir? I- I don't k-know why it's i-important for you to know."

Reaching behind with her right hand, Gweyr gripped the haft of her glaive, the oak steadying her nerves.

@Doc Doctor Gweyr, terror evident on her face, pulled her glaive out from behind her, and, holding it in both hands, interposing it between the man and her, she said, "Listen. I'm going to go to the end of the alleyway. And you're- you're gonna stay back, okay?" Backing up nervously, Gweyr put some distance between the two of them. If he made one wrong move, she'd toss a fireball at him.

@Doc Doctor Gweyr yelped at the loud sound of a gunshot echoing off the tight alley walls. Reflexively casting Interposing Hand, the shimmering hand, mostly transparent, appeared in front of her, deflecting the bullet into the brick of the alleyway. Making the hand disappear immediately after, Gweyr ducked to the right, and summoning a thick fog, lunged in with the glaive, stabbing towards his midsection. If he was the kind of man to pull a trick like that, then he wouldn't let her go. She needed to take him down first.

@Doc Doctor
Gweyr, luckily, had already begun backpedaling, and the bullet flew past her face, drawing a deep red line where it scraped past her cheek. When the grenade was flung at her, she simply brought the flat of the glaives' blade around, smacking it back towards the man in a near effortless motion. With the same skill and grace that she had flung the grenade back at the man, she summoned a fireball in her left hand, and flung it right at the grenade.

@Doc Doctor Luckily, Gweyr was a trained mage, brilliant fighter, and around 300 years old. Old enough to instinctively know when something was up. She didn't know exactly what, but the man was wily, slippery, like an eel. As soon as she had begun to cast fireball, she saw the man aim his gun. As he fired, a mystical suit of armor surrounded her, which, while it kept her from dying, it didn't keep her from getting flung around. Flying back about 30 feet, Gweyr slammed into the concrete, and was briefly dazed by the impact. Several cracks, glowing a light blue, had appeared on the back of the armor's helm, and the entire breastplate of the suit was cracked, chipped, and generally torn up.

Using her innate arcane abilities, Gweyr tripled her agility, and even though the armor looked heavy, it was indeed weightless. Looking for her glaive, all she saw was a charred, twisted length of wood and a half-melted, bent piece of slag. Grenades were no joke. However, the man was holding a gun. Which, being metal, was most likely made of a ferrous metal, such as steel. Holding out her right hand towards the man, energy collected there for a millisecond before lightning arced through the small space with an incredibly loud thunderclap, headed towards the gun the man held. This was no magical lightning, this was completely normal obscene amounts of electricity being hurled at the nearest metal object. Which was the gun, now that her glaive was flung away.

@Doc Doctor Luckily, the armor held up to the bullets, although the breastplate shattered, dissipating into a glowing blue mist, while the rest of the armor stayed intact. Mostly. Gweyr could now see through a large, gaping hole in the helmet which bled blue mist, smelling like ozone. The impact of the bullet was far from lethal, but it did appear to break her left arm at the shoulder.

Ignoring the pain, she still went through with the spell, casting a lightning bolt right at this creep, although it would hurt like a bitch when this all was over.

@Doc Doctor In the span of time it took Donny to reload, it took Gweyr even less time to cast five Magic Missiles, which all rapidly flew at the creep at the speed of a bullet. When they hit him, it would do about as much damage as, say, a rock flung at the same speed, and disappear after contact.

Gweyr aimed one at his chest, one at his gun arm, one at his head, one at the ground between his legs, and one to the immediate right (from Gweyr's perspective, the gun is on the left, and his open hand is on the right) of the man, so that even if he tried to dodge to the right or drop prone he would still get hit.

@Doc Doctor Gweyr said nothing, rather, leaping up towards the wall to her left insanely fast, at a position about 5 feet above and behind the man's right side. Flipping around in midair, she kicked off the wall with the same incredible speed, and extending her leg, still clad in magical armor, performed a dropkick at 84 miles per hour, aimed at the man's left collarbone.

No time for talk.

No time for mercy.

@Doc Doctor Gweyr's eyes narrowed as the man dodged, and pulled out a flail made of a razor wire and a grenade. Well then. Gweyr kicked off the ground, leaping into the air, and once she was at her apex, twenty feet up, directly above the man, she cast a lightning bolt directly at him. Now this was a quandry. Either he would shoot at her, and the bullets would melt, or the lightning would arc towards the razor wire, causing the grenade to explode. If he didn't shoot, the lightning bolt would be aimed towards the gun, as the largest metal thing there.

Gweyr had no problems doing this. This man was obviously a menace.

@Doc Doctor And quick she was. Dropping down, Gweyr counted off one second, not knowing how much time was left on the grenade's timer, grabbed it, and flung it like a baseball at the creep. Summoning a thick fog, Gweyr jumped up, and grabbed onto a fire escape, hidden in the thick mist.

Aiming in the general area of where she saw the man last, she launched several magic missiles towards him, in a burst-fire scatter pattern, such as one would find from an assault rifle.
