(Ahh, it feels good to be back!)

Platinum was trying to make her way across the rooftops, but Team RASB had blasted ahead and she'd caught a glimpse of that redhead blowing past her using some boosts from her semblance. Fen was probably catching up now, and Platinum was surprised to see that her friend had succeeded in pulling the anarchist back onto their team.

''So she actually did care about the team? I didn't expect that.''

She'd been prepared to eliminate the "Raizel problem" by having the girl admit that she didn't care, thus eliminating the first wild card so that she could chase after Cyzarine without having to worry about the external asset. Platinum was so certain that Raizel could be made to leave, and admittedly she herself didn't know whether she wanted the girl on the team still or not.

''So now I've got to take charge again? I'll be much harsher than before.''

If Raizel started acting up again, she would dismiss the firestarter with no ifs, ands, or buts. She had no time for this baseless stalling while a murderer was on the run. But the girl deserved one last chance after all the effort Fen had put into keeping her. At last she saw the figures of the other team standing at the edge of the roof, wind whipping their hair and still silhouettes black with yellow edges against the light emanating from the busy street below. It was quite an impressive sight.

They were panting slightly, Platinum saw as she drew closer. She was getting a little winded as well, but not so much that she'd give up. She drew up until she was standing next to them all in a row on the roof's edge.

"What's happening?"

Respersio answered. "Cyzarine is still running. She," he paused to get his breath back. "Sorry. She climbed up the building," he said, gesturing at the high rise across the street from them. "Raizel's still chasing her." He pointed down, and Platinum saw the recognizable form of the redhead making its way across the street.

Automne crouched down. "Cyzarine's just trying to escape at this point. I don't think she's gonna hurt anyone else unless they try to hurt her."

Platinum pondered that for a moment.

"Alright, change of plans. You guys get down there and brief the police as soon as they arrive. Fen and I will go up to try and calm her before the law enforcement arrest her."

Her orange-yellow eyes met Respersio's green ones, and the boy hesitated for only a second before acquiescing.

"I'll trust you, Platinum," he said. Although his teammates were wearing various questioning expressions, they said nothing and dropped down one by one after their leader onto the busy pavement below. A few seconds later, the whining of police sirens and their flashing strobe lights turned the corner, followed by various SWAT trucks, which began to unload heavily armored soldiers.

A light voice sounded out behind the silver-haired girl.

"Shall I give you a boost?" Fen's right eyebrow was raised, but she was wearing a mildly amused expression despite being out of breath. It was always entertaining to see Platinum play the tough leader. Raizel had taken off after yelling some quick stuff about being sorry and "getting that wimp". Ironic given that Cyzarine was anything but a wimp. Cowardly, perhaps, but not a wimp.

"I sent Ririo and his team to the police. We're going to see if we can calm Cyzarine if we cut down the aggression."

Fen's alarm sense was immediately triggered. She hefted her halberd onto her shoulder.

"And what exactly is that supposed to mean?"

Platinum turned. "We'll just try to talk some sense into her. If she comes at us we'll knock her out this time."

"And if she tries to run?"

Good question.

"We'll...... I'll shoot her. If we can't keep her down using non-lethal means then I have no other choice. The people's safety is number one."

Fen sighed. She reached up and plucked at her beanie, then extended her polearm diagonally in front of her to prepare to launch a strong burst of wind from the Dust in the base of the head.

"Hey. Did Raizel say anything to you?"

"She said something, but she was already jumping down so I didn't catch it." Platinum shrugged. "How important could it have been anyway?" She took a lowered position for the launch, holstering her gun.

Fen smirked. "I like the sound of that." With that she pressed the button and sent a forceful gust bursting out, which launched Platinum over the street and - nicely positioned - straight through a window of the hotel on the 5th floor. She straightened up: her semblance would help her get to the top of the building by going up the outside. But before that she reached down and slipped a hand into her open jacket, withdrawing with her Scroll clutched. Fen held it up to her mouth.

"You still there?"

"''Of course." ''A familiar mature female voice came from the device. Fen had cracked - after the damage wreaked by the Bluthardt girl last time, she was taking absolutely zero chances tonight. So why the hell would she go at this thing alone? The presence of her older sister, however superficial, was immensely calming, like a spell. Fen had relayed the whole deal pretty quickly after Raizel had taken off.

"Platinum acts like she has a personal duty to fix this," Fen said into the Scroll. "I don't care so much for it, but I can't turn her down. It's frustrating."

"Fen, you haven't got time for this. We'll have a nice long chat later, but you need to act like it's your business, which it is."

"Awww," Fen said. "Chat ya later, sis."

"G''et moving. When you get there stay outside her range, and if she tries to run don't stop her." ''

Fen was aware that her sister Zanipher could only provide counsel from this distance, but all she really needed was the reassurance. With that, she pocketed the Scroll once more and propelled herself towards the side of the building with Owl's Wingbeat. She landed hard against the side of the wall, but her Aura absorbed it and she began clambering up the side of it as the police began clearing civilians and establishing a perimeter around the hotel.
