"Help me move him. Can you cut that ladder with something? It's weak, just smash it or something, we can't dislodge it now." He shouted over the noise and battled through the rubble of glass and brick. When he reached the truck he kicked the door at the broken hinge and it fell off to the side, as calculated. He reached in and surveyed the damage, he hadn't noticed that Vi's bone had shot through his knee, shattering his kneecap and puncturing the skin from the inside on his thigh. Disgusted, he reached out to touch the bone when he saw a flicker of life from the corner of his eye. Vi's heart beat once, twice and stopped. The lifetimer began to fade, the numbers of the time he had left falling at a rapid unnatural pace. With a new found urgency, he scooped Vi up into his arms and began to gently pry him from the wreckage. He heard the skin move and bones click as Vi's neck twisted, the sharp edge of the ladder still lodged into the back of his neck. "Break it now!" He screamed, closing his eye, the gifted whirring around to look at every tendon, estimate whether it would be possible to live.

Abel heard Muraki voice and was relived, he sighed briefly moving to check his bizarre roommate when he heard the urgency in the mans voice, clicking back into professionalism he quickly clambered up to the point Muraki had indicated, reaching inside his robe and producing a black hand gun, pointing it at the weak spot and shooting through it. The people outside flinched and screamed. Abel was indifferent and pulled the metal free, the stench of blood was making him dizzy with confusion. He reached up to his ear, touching the small metal band on the side of his ear. “Gunslinger to Starlight and Sword dancer, Crash on main street, many incurred, requesting assistance. Other gifted in the region aligned with lights nemesis. Be alert” he spoke in a professional way, the earpiece cracked with two responses before it beeped back into just being a ear accessory. Abel jumped down and landed by the doctor “Muraki are yo-“ he stopped, staring at the face in the seat. “What are you doing!?” he hissed, Grabbing Muraki by the back of his coat threw him from the near dead gifted. Hissing at him “do you know who this is?! He’s killed /hundreds/!” He grabbed the front of Muraki’s coat and glared at him “let him die”

Muraki looked at Abel, fear not even a trace in his eye. He gave his friend a stern look. "I used to teach him, his fate was decided for him, he didn't choose to be a monster. I should think you should know that feeling, Abel." He shook the man off his shoulder and reached into the seat again. Lifting Vi with a little difficulty he supported his head, the shard of metal sticking out of his neck, blood dripping onto the floor in almost a gush. He boy was cold already, the fall must have cooled him. "He may have killed hundreds, thousands or millions, frankly, that doesn't mean he deserves to die. He's more similar to you than you know, killing is in his nature to survive, like you." He spoke softly, giving the boy a soft look, almost fatherly. He turned to the girl who was standing behind him, looking confused and hurt. "I want you to come with me. Please, follow us to my flat, you're most likely injured aswell." He began to head for the beads, walking through backwards and out of the back door. "Abel!" He shouted. "Leave your grudges here and help me, or feel the weight of death as you stay." He gave him one long meaningful glance before stepping outside, dissapearing around the corner and walking the block to his house.

Abel hissed with frustration ad his friend “He may not have chosen to be come what he is, nor did I but I did chose to do Good With my Curse, Not Evil as he had done. He kills the innocent, purely though prejudice! He is a sinner and deserves to DIE!” he hissed. “the likes of him don’t deserve to walk gods earth and should burn in damnation for eternity!” He followed behind Muraki, His anger starting to simmer even deeper in his heart. How dare he used Abel as a comparison.” He is no CHILD Muraki, no longer any student of yours, he is a cold hearted murderer!” he shouted after the doctor. . He stood, shocked at his companions behaviour and was only roused from his thinking when he hard a cry of pain from within the truck and the presence of his comrades by his side. He sighed and shook of the feelings of anger and continued his efforts to help until the paramedics arrived.

Sheba hovered helplessly as two men began extracting the injured people. She couldn't be much help as she didn't know the a thing about first aid, but she didn't want to just do nothing. As the doors of the fire truck were kicked/ripped away, she picked them up with one arm and cleared them away so that there would be room for the people to be removed. Once that was done, she stood gingerly holding her injured arm and had to look away as Muraki took the odd-looking person and blood spilled onto the floor. Suddenly there was the familiar sense of someone else inside her head, a sense that she hadn't felt in a long time. The image of two people on a nearby rooftop flashed through her mind. Grimacing, Sheba resolutely closed her mind so that Irina would go away. She didn't notice the brief scuffle and argument between the two men, but quietly followed Muraki towards the back door.
