"Oi! Where d'you think you're going?!" Bernhardt sprinted after Cyzarine, only to be stopped at a call by his leader.

"Bernie, wait a second!" Respersio turned to Platinum. He wanted her assent before his team chased the girl down. He'd noticed that Platinum hadn't moved, even when everyone else had at least taken a few paces towards the escaper.

"I'll be there in a second, but there's something I need to settle first," she said quickly.

"I'll stay too, then," Fen added. Presumably it had to do with Raizel, and maybe now would be a good time to apologize and get that out of the way.

Respersio nodded. "We'll make sure she doesn't hurt any more people and keep a safe distance." The boy turned back to the street punk. "Bernie, have you got her scent?"

The blonde wrinkled his nose in response. His semblance was only magnifying the rankling odor that was freshly spilled blood. "Got it strong," he replied. "There's no way she'll escape us with a smell like that."

"We'll catch up as soon as we can," Platinum said. And with that Team RASB went and sprinted in pursuit of the bloody girl. As they ran, Automne turned to her boy friends.

"She can't even realize that we're trying to end the mess." She vaulted through the broken window and into a back alley that led deeper into the city. Nightlife around the scene was still going strong, and some less amicable sorts would probably emerge as the night drew on. The less time they spent in such a shady area, the better. Hopefully the police would arrive to secure the situation.

"But she's extremely unstable. We'll need to be careful."

Although the boys gave no sign of hearing, she knew that it was just the speed at which they were traveling which prevented them from signaling. They had a duty to help out Platinum and Fen, especially since the two girls were responsible for the current cohesiveness of their team dynamic.

Meanwhile, Platinum walked over and picked up Adlig Teufel by the barrel, and held it up to Raizel's chest.

"Either this is your teammate's weapon and you'll keep it for her when she returns, or you'll leave it here for someone else to pick up because it's none of your fucking business. What will it be?" Platinum was going to find out this moment whose side Raizel was really on, and whether this team business was really futile or not.

Meanwhile, Fen came up and stopped next to her friend. She made eye contact with Raizel before speakng up, unusually serious.

"Look... I'm sorry about what I said earlier, and I really had no idea what I was saying. But this time I'm really up for being in a team with you, if you're up for it too."

"So what will it be? Either you help us make things right or you go back to bartending at strip clubs and getting people killed. It's all up to you," Platinum said. She released her hand the gun dropped on the concrete. It clattered loudly at the redhead's feet as the wind whistled around them. She turned around and began striding, then running back where Team RASB had exited. That left Fen alone with Raizel.

"We don't have much time," the beanie-wearing girl said quietly. "Platinum's very angry at you because she told you to decide whether you wanted to be in a team or not, and instead you pulled a mentally unstable individual into a dangerous environment and got people killed, and now the police are going to be involved."

"Which means that if we're going to have any chance of being in a team, it's going to take your help. But if you decide to turn around and leave now, I'm not going to stop you. That's not my job or Platinum's." Her pink eyes glimmered in the lamplight. Fen bent down and held Cyzarine's gun towards Raizel, arm extended in a clear gesture of partnership.

"Please... take it before I give up on you too."
