[i]It hurts.[/i]

[color=b16edd][i]Who cares.[/i][/color]

[i]It's hard to stand.[/i]

[color=b16edd][i]Stop complaining.[/i][/color]

[i]But my body is resisting me.[/i]

[color=b16edd][i]You know your place. Enough whining. Make yourself useful. The pain won't be anything compared to the how you'll feel after if you don't manage that.[/i][/color]

[color=b16edd][i]Kill the fear. Kill the pain. None of it matters to you.[/i][/color]

[color=b16edd][b][i]Go.[/i][/b][/color]

Blackened vision returned. Reina nodded in response to Roy, eyes surveying the current situation. Both Kaida and Michiko were in trouble, but Takeshi was holding his own for the moment.

Violent threats were issued from the villain.

No. None of her friends were going to die. Not as long as she didn't. She'd fight with every thing she had to make sure that didn't happen.

[color=b16edd]"Help Kaida,"[/color] she said to Roy, voice rough from her sore throat.

The girl took an unsteady step forward on her left foot, teeth gritting against the pain that shot up her leg.

[color=b16edd][i]It doesn't matter.[/i][/color]

She kept stalking forward, pace increasing.

[color=b16edd][i]Pain is nothing in comparison to helping save Michiko's life.[/i][/color]

Reina stepped into a hard kick to the wolf's side, immediately dropping to grip his fur and skin in both hands, left forearm searing in pain at the exertion.

[color=b16edd][i]"Get off."[/i][/color]

Like a demon possessed, Reina bent down to snap her teeth down on the wolf's ear, not hesitating a moment before tearing it off. The wolf reacted by letting go of Michiko and snapping at Reina's face, canine opening a cut on her forehead above her left eye. Reina reeled back from both the force she had used to tear the wolf's ear and from dodging it's counter attack, catching herself with her right hand and bouncing up to her feet.

Her mind raced as it tended to while she analysed the situation. The wolf was still on top of Michiko, though at least now its focus was on Reina. Michiko could maybe take the opprotunity to do something--but just in case that didn't happen, Reina needed to do something herself.

This wolf was noticably stronger than the two that had attacked her. She needed a weapon to do significant damage to it, or her quirk--

Her quirk. Realization flashed through the girl's mind. She had simply accepted that using her quirk in the alley would be too dangerous as it'd affect her friends as much as it'd affect the villain and his dogs... but maybe that wasn't entirely true. The villain shouldn't know what her quirk even [i]was[/i], while her friends did...

She could make use of it. Maybe they could, too.

Reina's eyes were still focused on the dog as the train of thought ran it's course in a tenth of a second. If her quirk's activation adversely affected any of her friends and something bad happened, she'd never be able to forgive herself... but now wasn't the time for second guessing. There [i]was[/i] no time for that. If it turned out bad, she'd give her life to fix the mistake.

Reina had made up her mind, her expression steeled beyond what it had ever been in her life.

[color=b16edd]"Using my quirk!"[/color] she cried out so everyone in the alley could hear. It was up to them to react in time now. She trusted them.

Her cold gaze settled on the wolf's snarling head as she used her quirk to suddenly [i]pull[/i] her surroundings sharply towards her. Once again, she stepped into a hard kick, her body's entire weight on her injured left ankle. The wolf's body was jerked violently towards her, and her right foot snapped out to meet the beast's head. An audible [i]crack[/i] could be heard on contact, the force of the kick far amplified by the use of her quirk.

Reina immediately zeroed the effects of the quirk out again as the wolf's body was spun and ragdolled off and away from Michiko's body, sliding to a lifeless stop several feet away.

The girl let out a sharp gasp from the exertion, immediately glancing up and down the alley, hoping she hadn't caused trouble for Roy, Kaida, or Takeshi, and fully ready to jump in if she had.
