The energies still circling around Talia did much to warn her of the commotion as the entire club emptied, save her and Link and three new thugs. She had only a moment to take in what they were saying, before she used the force of her momentum to try to avoid the suddenly speeding bullet heading towards her. Things were already going in a significantly time-slowed pace for her due to the chi surrounding her, and the forcefield that Manny had given to each of them would stop the bullet if her movements somehow did not, but it was better not to press her luck. She was keenly aware of Link's motion and direction as well and saw that, thankfully, his shield had worked.

After sliding nimbly out of the way, she would send one of her ribbons straight up to the chandelier, wrapping around one of its intricately designed arms, then plan to pull herself up, right along with it. Before that, in the same fluid, graceful movement, she will have aimed her other long, swirling ribbon at the guy shooting at both of them and direct the razor metal at the tip to slice his forearm as well, while hopefully plucking the gun from his hands and shooting it over in Link's general direction where she hoped he might be able to at least keep it away from the thugs. Then she will spin herself up in the air, where she was most at ease and comfortable.

Talia had kept her keen eyesight on Link and his predicament even though she had gone back to twirling and dancing, doing her best to keep up the distraction for as long as possible. But now, her teammate was still being stalked by the two men and if she didn't do something and fast, he might end up getting attacked! She danced and twirled her way quickly back within striking distance and struck out again with both of her ribbons, this time allowing the metal-tipped ends to coil around both wrists of the man that was aiming a punch straight at Link.

The bouncer would feel the silken, cool touch of the ribbons at first but then it would instantly become confusing pain as he becomes aware of something slicing their way through the tendons at the top parts of both wrists. Talia had carefully selected and aimed at her target area, avoiding the risk of accidentally cutting through any major arteries that would cause someone to bleed out if the flow was not staunched. She was not to kill, only... deter... Possibly maim... Using the Chi energy and momentum fueling her moves, she pulled back hard with the ribbons still wound tightly into the bouncer's arms, planning for him to be yanked away from Link but still able to land at a distance from her. If all went according to plan, she'd "call" err... guide her ribbons to release the target and return to her, prepared for the next strike.

Talia indeed noticed the danger that her partner, Link was in... seizing the moment of the brief disruption he had now afforded her, she leaped lithely to land next to the bag she had also shrugged to the floor with her jacket before her dance, and quickly pulled out the ribbons from within, though no one would think they were any sort of weapon. She considered for a moment that her pathway to the VIP area where Bob was, now was clear but she could and would never leave a teammate to deal with danger alone when she knew about it. Deciding this was the better course of action for a new heroine in training, she danced her way towards the bouncers, ribbons whipping in snake-like fashion around and above her as she twirled them ever faster and faster. She unleashed them, once near enough to the two bouncers, to coil expertly and neatly around the baton and tonfa and to slip them instantly from their tight grips. She will have done this so quickly and with such a flow of energies and movement that they would not notice her and then she will return to sliding back amongst the crowd, continuing her beautiful and graceful dance once more as though nothing had happened.

The young, Asian woman had moved quickly at Link's side as they got into the nightclub. It had gone off without a hitch that was for sure; she was still a little surprised and definitely admiring of how easily and coolly Link had handled it all and now they were at the intended location, with The Jersey Devil on top with eyes on things, and Manny on his way up there as well. How she still wished that was where she was, able to just leap down on the unsuspecting targets like the other two were about to, but she put all of that from her mind and focused... This, here, was her assignment. Now the only things she needed to worry about was Link and the people around her. She drew a deep breath to steady herself for the plan of splitting off from Link, since they'd likely cover more ground or find out more information separate than together. She had already declined his offer for a drink and was stepping away when the young and completely drunk group of men came up to her and flanked Link as well. When she felt one of their arms around her shoulder, she resisted flinging it instantly off and leaping into attack... That might not be the best plan, but it would certainly cause a diversion, she thought to herself. Then she smiled, amused, as she remembered she had many ways to cause a diversion.

The sparkling chandelier overhead only further served her purposes and so, she decided to give the men what they wanted, though perhaps not quite in the way they had planned... Sliding quickly and fairly easily out from under the man's arm, she shrugged her overcoat off her shoulders and then moved gracefully and purposefully to an emptier space in the night club. Her eyes never left the group of men, and she kept up the feeling of luring them in, seeking to entrance them with her movements and expression. As she flowed into her effortless movements, she would hear the Jersey Devil's next report: that the diamond dust was indeed here and a... shapeshifter... She didn't let that distract her though, as she began to swirl and spin with her arms reached out, extended gracefully and then swaying as though she was the wind itself... a soft, gentle breeze at first until the energy built around and inside of her and the movements became more intense, like sudden gusts of wind breaking the stillness. As she danced, she listened closely to anything further coming into the earpiece, but didn't miss a single movement even in her focus and her keen eyesight didn't lose sight of her surroundings or the various people.
