"How long have you been there?" Nova asked she looking up at Kairo sitting across from her bed, "A couple of minutes. So… What happened during the mission?" Kairo asked as a few IV tubes were poking into her. She sat up more in bed, "The mission? Last thing I heard is that Tessa's helicopter crashed— MY GUNS!" Kairo smirked as he leaned forward, "With Aria, but the mission? Where did you go?" She breathed a sigh of relief as he looked up, "Oh yeah… After the investigators swarmed the place. You and Aria went back into the building."
Kairo nodded, prompting her to continue, "I snuck off, I don't know why or how, but I just felt like Lucan was nearby, almost like I could feel his energy." The same way he found her before the Senior Investigator drove them back to Ashfell, "He was in an alleyway, standing there. I couldn't see what he was doing there, but I fired. Looking back, I shouldn't have; I was too hasty and trigger-happy. Something I need to work on…" She murmured the last part as she continued.
…
She fired two rounds into his back, and he roared in pain, "FUCK. What have you done!" He was pissed unbelievably so, he turned around, his face twisted into one of pure bloodlust. She saw this wasn't the happy or carefree Lucan she had grown accustomed to. Maybe it was the pain, but her gut told her it was something else. She could feel the anger, the hurt in his Valence. She saw something scurry off; it might have been a woman.
"Lucan, what are you doing? Attacking civilians and hurting a defenceless woman at a time like this, suddenly a radio transmission started to come in, "This is Arcade Base—" "Help from Bayview—" "Requesting immediate backup!" "DEMONS ARE EVERYWHERE!" She looked at Lucan, "You going to come nicely?" As their fear and the pain through the radio was hard for her to hear, Lucan walked away, but she fired and, in an instant, Lucan was in her face. She doubled over her abdomen, destroyed from his hefty punch. Her ribs were destroyed as she lost consciousness.
