Tammi doesn't really care for the dogfights. Not that she minds dogs, but sports are fun in a well-catered stadium, less so in a grungy warehouse. But Tracy's new boyfriend has the normal male enthusiasm for beer and shouting and blood, and Tammi didn't have anything better planned for tonight, so she let herself to be dragged along.

She is currently reconsidering her life choices.

This may be related to the the three rhino-sized monsters who have crashed the party and are busy mauling random people!

Shit shit shit she's not here in costume!

This has benefits (she is trying to run, like everyone else here) and downsides (the higher-ups might find out she was here and ran). So, she needs to double back later. Bitch can't touch her once she's in the air, but someone might see her when she first uses it to make a flying platform - can she climb out through this window, fuck you other guy who's trying to climb out through this window -

It's only a one-storey drop but the ground is uneven with a thin layer of snow, she slips but she recovers like a fucking ballerina. Her foot inscribes a shape in the snow which could be, generously, called a circle.

And then there is a guy standing there with jeans and a tail and no shirt and bat wings. "- hello! What can I -" Other guy trying to climb out the window, yikes - "is there a fire or -"

Permalink

Unfamiliar cape - how'd he get there, is he a Mover or a fucking Stranger - who decided to come unmasked to a dogfight? Hookwolf isn't even here today??

(The guy after her in line, too far away to hear, screams "another cape!" and abandons the window to run for the doors after all.)

"It's Bitch and her monsters!" Random civilians don't get briefed about the resident bitches but word gets around so it shouldn't be weird that she recognized them, right? She does not need another cape's attention on her right now. "They're killing people in there! Help them get away or something!" (Screams are coming from inside the building; the main doors are on the opposite side and not visible from here.)

Permalink

"Fuck. Okay." He will go look in the window; climbing through would take valuable time.

Permalink

Then she will run away from this clusterfuck!

There being an unfamiliar flying cape rather complicates her plan of riding in on a flying platform to save the day, because like a dumbass she went out without her costume or even a spare mask. Maybe she'll phone it in instead, that way if they order her back and she gets unmasked at least it'll be their responsibility and they'll have to get her a new identity or something. ...once she's safely at a block away, though. Tammi is a good runner.

The building is two stories tall but it's all a single space inside; the window opens on a catwalk going around three sides, with people on it who are now scrambling to get away from Cam's window and to the other side of the room.

There are at least thirty people, a big double door (open), blocked by a giant... animal? It's three meters tall and has horns and weirder, asymmetric things sticking out of it, with what looks like bare muscle exposed in places. It's growling horribly. Several of the men have been mauled to various degrees and are huddled against walls or limping away nursing broken limbs. One man lying on the ground is missing most of his hand and is either unconscious or dead from loss of blood.

Permalink

On the other side of the building there is a line of cages with dogs in them, and a woman wearing a rottweiler mask is looking at them. Two more of the giant creatures seem to be guarding her from everyone else.

Permalink

Ah shit. Downed guy gets a hand and more blood! Monsters get opiates and if that doesn't work they get liquid nitrogen! Then he will take the time to climb in.

Permalink

The people next to the downed guy exclaim but have no idea what just happened.

The monsters do respond to opiates liberally misted through their bodies! One of them sneezes, lies down and falls asleep. The one that was blocking the door also lies down but then starts dragging itself along the floor; the people scramble to get out of its way and out of the building.

The third starts frantically chasing its own tail, quickly going off course and crashing towards the back side of the crowd; that gets it the liquid nitrogen treatment. It crashes to the ground, makes a big dent in the far side wall, and doesn't get up again.

Permalink

The woman in the dog mask lets out a horrible, choked-sounding scream, and runs towards the dog that's still struggling along.

Permalink

Some of the people in the crowd have guns and were trying to surreptitiously form into a firing line without her noticing! With the gunproof monsters down it's clearly time to shoot her in the back.

Permalink

Hey no absolutely not we are trying to avoid people being dead. Guns: cease to gun.

Permalink

"It's a cape!" shouts one of the men Cam interrupted climbing out of the window, making the people below finally look up.

That sure is an unfamiliar guy climbing into the building (at second storey height), no mask but has a... bat costume?

Permalink

...most of them are going to run away now the door's unblocked but the guy who organized the firing line and a few of the others are standing their ground. (Most of them are frantically trying to figure out what's wrong with their guns and whether a restart reload cycle can fix it.)

Does Cam look like he's an actively hostile cape? What's the bitch doing?

Permalink

She's reached the one monster that's still in crawling shape and is coaxing it into standing up.

The other two monsters are beginning to... fall apart? Pieces of bone and muscle are sloughing off their bodies. The liquid-nitrogened one also has thick white vapour coming out of the holes left by this process.

Permalink

OK, no, if the monsters aren't all properly dead they can't just wait for backup!

"You have to let us stop her before she heals it!" yells the man who's possibly in charge.

Permalink

"I don't want anyone dead! Are we clear?"

Permalink

Oh, it's one of those 'heroes'. Well, if this ends up with Bitch out of play it'll be a win regardless.

"If you can put down the last monster like you did the others, you can arrest her or whatever. We only need lethal force if she can order those things to kill people!" 

(Another man whispers something in his ear.) "...we are grateful for the help. But she's still dangerous."

Permalink

The one monster does seem to be feeling better! It's standing up properly, at least. The woman in the dog mask is now frantically digging into the corpse of the one that was dosed with liquid nitrogen.

At the words 'put down' she whips her head around and snarls.

Permalink

"I can knock her over but you cannot then murder her, are we clear? Call the cops on her if you like."

Permalink

"The men who left will have called them, I'm sure a patrol is already on its way here." Able and willing to kill any of Bitch's monster dogs on sight. "But you need to deal with the last monster before she tries to escape or decides to take some of us down with her."

Permalink

Dig dig dig frantically through the monster corpse - "Brutus, tear!"

Permalink

It doesn't smell like Angelica anymore. And Master knows best. Brutus can tear big chunks away! Brutus can get a mouthful of... still-liquid nitrogen seeping through the brittle frozen tissue?

The pain isn't real, it's not in his real body, but his mouth... doesn't seem to be working properly anymore? ...Master?

Permalink

The mysterious organs and sacs exposed inside the frozen-solid body cavity shatter as the monster pulls away.
