Zarganna
~~~~~~~
Zara didn't know what to feel or what to think. Her whole body felt numb as her mind hummed with ideas on how to get out of this terrible mess. Her whole body seized with fear of this one small woman. As she stared down the barrel of the gun, it was as if nothing else mattered. Only the own crackling of her fire calmed her nerves. Every muscle in her body screamed at her to run, to flee for her life. She had tasseled with Angel before and the result was always the same...failure. Locked behind bars again, trying desperately to think of an escape plan. Something was different this time, when she looked down the barrel of the gun she knew all was lost. Angel would not keep her prisoner this time. She had caused enough chaos. Before she could even decide what to do, the gun was seized from Angel's hand and she was smacked in the head with it. It would seem she had an invisible savior.

Angel
~~~~~
Filthy mutants. How dare they put her world into chaos. That is all they are good for. Nasty creatures. Nothing brought Angel more glee than the fear shining in Zarganna's eyes as her gun stared her straight in the face. She was trying to think of something witty to say. Something for that nasty demon girl to take with her to hell, suddenly her gun was jerked out of her hand. Before she could deduce what was going on and get her pistol back she was cracked in the back of the skull with it. Angel hit her knees. A lesser woman would have went unconscious. Thankfully due to a training accident in the Corps she had a metal plate in her skull. It didn't stop it from hurting any less. Her head hummed with the force of the blow. She heard a voice encourage the freaks to escape. There was no way in hell she was going to let that happen.
With a sudden burst of rage she lunged at Zara, locking her tightly in a hold. As if it were some sort of fluke, Angel was not burned.
"Clay! After the prisoners!" She turned to whisper in Zara's ear. "Are you surprised demon? I too have a few uncanny abilities. I'm not a freak like you though..what i do i do to protect this world from the likes of you. I bet your dad wished he couldn't burn. Or perhaps not. At least this way he doesn't have to see his daughter as a freak."

"...daughter as a freak." Something snapped in Zara"s head. Her senses told her this was Angel's ploy. It was quieted buy the fierceness of her rage. she quickly slipped free of the hold. Darkness poured out of her. Her hair whipped more wildly, letting the demons almost take complete control. This wasn't good. Even if she killed angel, Her powers were fading fast. If she was unable to force the demons back into the darkness before she ran out of juice the demons would be free of her control and would act on their own accords. Ash almost consumed her body. Her death was inevitable if she continued at this rate.

Clay

He had failed again. These freaks had made a fool out of him and he would not let it pass idly by. He darted quickly away from the gun pointed in his direction. Before Angel had even told him to do it he was chasing after the mind freak and her frosty boyfriend. He used his wind to pick up speed and caught up to them right as they were releasing the voice freak.
"Do we have to do this again... or will you go back to your cells like good boys and girls?"
