Platinum considered taking the elevator, but she rapidly concluded that the machine wouldn't reach high enough for her destination. And what if there were more people tryng to board it from other floors? So the teenager shoved the door to the stairs open and began pounding up the steps, skipping two a time. She was already at the tenth floor when she almost ran straight into Raizel entering from the side door.

'Watch it!" she yelled, not pausing to see if the girl was following. It was more important to make sure that Fen didn't have to take on Cyzarine alone. But the voice of her rough companion sounded out not far behind her, signaling that the firebrand was still following.

Please please don't let her do anything stupid this time.

"Good question, asshole," Platinum said. It was petty, but she was still steaming angry at the redhead and decided that using a derogatory-yet-accurate nickname was going to be the best way to demean the girl until she squeezed some respect out of her.

'We're not talking. We're gonna stop her from running with whatever means necessary". Those words jarred a quote from a particularly gritty movie Platinum had watched once.

Terminate with extreme prejudice .

She shook her head rapidly to clear herself of the thought. That was only the extreme final option, if Cyzarine moved to endanger civilians once again. it probably wouldn't come to that... right?

The two burst out onto the roof to see Fen facing off against the troubled girl.

______________

Fen took a few slow steps forward, halberd still in her hand but taking a placating position. It was like approaching a wild animal, she felt. Don't make any quick moves or the beast will attack you. Don't turn and run. And the crucial one, which she couldn't do now: back away slowly.

"Cyzarine," she said, still speaking slowly, "I don't want anything from you. But you can't keep running like this forever. All you need to do is to stay here until help arrives." Fen took a deep breath.

"Is there anyone you can call for help, family or friends or anyone?"

Fen saw the silhouettes of her two other teammates standing some ways behind the girl. It was quite windy up here,which only added to the threatening sensation she felt from being so exposed. Zan would not have approved. Fen saw Platinum silently pull her gun from her pouch and clutch it in a ready position in case Cyzarine turned on them. But damn, the kid's eyes were glinting bloody murder at this point. The slightest unaccounted-for motion and Fen would be the first one to strike, snakelike.
