Whiplash let out a solitary laugh at the offer to be Envy's partner, scratching his upper lip with his spare hand and resting the blade of his sword on his shoulder as he got into a more relaxed stance, hooking his hand around his belt and taking a step back. His eye darted to Shadowbird as he saw her preparing to act. [color=6ecff6]"See the thing about partnerships is that they're based on mutual respect."[/color] He spoke, rather ominously. [color=6ecff6]"And I've got none of that for you."[/color] Shadowbird proceeded to kick her ass and tie her up, Whiplash felt a bit left out to be honest, he liked the villains he could punch better. But this fight did raise a valid point, he'd need to invest in some sort of blunt ranged weaponry. Thoughts of boomerangs raced through his head before he came to the conclusion that he'd be better off leaving it to the more professional of the two. Whiplash made his way over to the tied up envy, maintaining his relaxed posture as she continued to mouth off. He ran his blade along the top of his sheath before coolly sliding it in. He raised his hands and put on a mock expression before saying [color=6ecff6]"Ooh Shadowbird, please let her go! I bet she'll just walk back to prison!"[/color] The Sarcasm was obvious as the crescendo of police sirens wailed closer and closer. Soon enough, the boys in blue secured the scene, helping their unconscious friend awake and closing off the area until Envy was dealt with. They were anxious to take her in, even while wearing gloves. And for good reason, she'd already escaped once, who's telling what she'd do in the van. "Uh, is there anything you can do about her...y'know...power?" Spoke a young sheepish officer, gripping the holster of his gun in his palm in caution. Envy had a shark like grin on her face, practically feeding on the fear of the officers around her. A thought ran through, Whiplash's head, as per usual not a well thought out one. He grinned to his partner, unsheathing his sword once more. [color=6ecff6]"Watch this, I saw it in a film the other night"[/color] He tossed his sword upside down in front of him, before grabbing the sword by the blade and conking Envy on the head in one swift move, knocking her unconscious. He yelped, dropping his sword as blood dripped from the crevice of a cut that now ran it's way up his right palm. It seemed that not only had Whiplash neglected to realize that in the film it was a knight wearing a gauntlet, but that accidentally gripping the sharp end of the blade probably wasn't a great idea. His sword clattered to the ground as he held his hand. [color=6ecff6]"I'll admit, not one of my better ideas, but you have admit it was cool, eh Shadow?"[/color] He asked, maintaining high spirits as he picked up and sheathed his with his non-cut hand.
