"You don't want to kill?" Kora asked, a few incandescent red pulses running across her fingers as she flexed them.
"That'd be a first."

She took another step forward toward the man.


The Knight spoke up before Lu did. She didn't expect her to disagree, but even so it gave her some sense of satisfaction to shoot down his attempt to stroke some kind of deal.

Like he was so very special.

"No, Rick Ronin. We're not here to negotiate with terrorists.
And even if we were on that level, you're giving yourself much too much credit. "

Kora pulled a finger down the partially-healed gashes on her face, someway obscured with medical tape.
"Seems like your buddies didn't get the memo. I got that off of one of them a while after you fucked off. And that's not even starting on the reports of the dead teleporter and captured scientist that came out of there in the last couple of days.

Your little friends don't get any special privileges to fuck with anyone they like. Just like you don't get any special privileges to ask for favours when you're surrounded you egotistical scumfuck."


She stepped up so she was stood pretty close to the man, looking down on him from her impressive height.
" If you want to throw down little man, then by all means come at me. Right here, right now, and show all the people in this city what a barbarous piece of trash you are. Worst case scenario I die a hero and you die the same murdering bastard we all know."

Far as Kora concerned, she didn't really mind which way that went. If she did end up getting wasted for the sake of clearing her name, she could live with it....or not as it were. Living as a hero was good, but if she had to choose between going out gloriously and carrying on with her honour in tatters then she was going to opt for the former.

And there was no way in hell she was dancing around the demands of some murderous criminal.

"Otherwise, get your arrogant ass on the goddamn floor in the next ten seconds and or I'll be hauling it out of the doors and branding your face like I did the last one of your gang that pissed me off."
