Echo was brilliant as she ended the fight. Even with Flo on the ground, incapacitated by her own body, by the nail attack Annalise Stark had used on her that left her unable to even stand or move, Echo suffered a similar hit and was still capable of these amazing acrobatic stunts that was just incredible to watch. Her wings made of bone and diamonds shone with power and light and that was when Flo knew for sure that she was happy Echo was her demon. Even if Echo was hiding a very badly hidden secret, even if she for whatever reason had three humans before, Flo knew she could make things work with her. "I'm sorry for getting in the way." She said after Annalise crumpled and disappeared, becoming nothing but a core that Fluorspar was very careful to handle gently. "I just wanted to protect you, because we're friends." There was a bit more to it than that, and Flo was going to adjust future strategies knowing what she now knew.
Christopher and Doll didn't seem all that surprised though, if anything there was disappointment emanating from the both of them to dampen whatever elation the pinkette and her demon might be feeling. And... well, they couldn't really say it wasn't true that they couldn't kill Annalise very efficiently or quickly. "Imagine being a family of a victim, and being told that your loved one died because we're training new Hunters." Christopher said with a shake of the head. "Weakness isn't an excuse, not when lives are at stake." Flo then smiled, knowing what she needed to say here to get rid of the awkward air about them. "Now that I've seen what Echo can do..." She grinned cheekily at her partner, twirling her hair in her finger with a slightly sassy stance. "We'll do even better next time." It wasn't just bravado, it was honestly what she believed.
And so they quickly went back into Christopher's car, to get away from the carnage of the scene and to let the police handle it. It was going to be a bit of a shame, the police were probably going to try to link this event with the rumored Third Impact that the Barons were attempting to trigger, an event that would only be even more catastrophic than the Second Impact had been. "I'm going to hug you now." Flo warned Echo with a smile, wrapping her arms around her smaller friend, the bubbling excitement almost overwhelming. They did it, she finished her first hunt, she was on track to becoming something memorable, to have meaning before her illness eventually stole her life away.
Back at the Tower Society, a very strange sight was there. Why, why was her mom there, why was Addison LaFleur talking another very professional looking suited person - a Chinese man who was known as Xiahou Wei, one of the best scientists of the time - about something important down the hall. And then when she spotted Christopher escorting the two newbies into the Tower Society she walked over then and Flo's eyes went wide with confusion. Why was mom here? Wasn't she just a politician? "Hello, Director." Christopher said with a polite bow. "Here's the report on Codename Fluorspar and her Daimonas - the... Greek term for demon, if Flo wasn't mistaken -
No, but wait, there was something very important here. Director? Her mother? What was even going on? "I'll read your report later, Delanore." Director LaFleur said with finality, not even bothering to give a glance to her sickly daughter. "Take your Daimonas and meet up with Team Lupin at the Big Ben, they'll need your help against Baron Wizar." Christopher nodded then and even Doll seemed respectful as the two of them went to gear up and prepare for the mission ahead. That was when Flo decided she had to, she had to figure this out. "Mom." She stepped forward, feeling a cold dread sink through her bones. "Did you not recognize me?" Addison looked at her with anything but motherly love, just a stern face with no real kindness. "Here, I am not your mother. You are a Hunter and I am the Director." She said as if it were just business, and perhaps, that's all it was to her. "As a Hunter, all you need concern yourself with is making yourself useful for the Tower Society, and making use of your Daimonas." And with that she walked away to continue talking to Scientist Wei.
