[Stand her ground. Stand her ground no matter what happened. There was too many rocks flying every which way to know what hit him, but she felt him zoom past. Shit. Just like Kid Flash. But... she knew how now. She went over the fights with him over and over again in her head for months. She knew this. When he licked her cheek, she did not even flinch. Stand her ground. Even with him so close behind her, speaking in her ear, she did not move a muscle. If he was going to kill her quickly, she would have been dead already. If this was a game for him, then she had an advantage.]

I'm not a hunter. I'm your... [He moved to run. She could feel his aura. He was fast, but her mind was faster. A hex lit up his feet, tripping him, little bursts slashing at his ankles and calves. Gracefully, she turned toward him, lifting her hand into the air.] WORST NIGHTMARE! [She brought her hand back down as he fell and slashed her claws across his face. She cut him from his temple, over his eye, tearing the soft tissue, blinding it, slashed over his nose, and caught his upper lip. Now it was time to move. Fast, she jumped several feet backward, keeping her back close to the cave wall, and let the lights on her hand and eyes go out. With all the rubble at the cave entrance, it was nearly black with as far back as they were. And she could see him.]

[And with the blood fresh on his face, she could smell him all that stronger.]

[thepull_npc]

[Oh she was good. He shouldn't have played with the little mouse like that. Now he was on the ground, bleeding from his head and growling a mongrels growl as he covered his face with a hand.] You bitch! [He growled, hollered a moment, because fuck, his eye, and his lip and nose and his damn FACE! His blood ran a odd color and smelled different, but blood was blood and he was spilling it.]

[He should have stayed outside. He would never have had a problem if he had stayed outside where he could see and get around. Now it was dark, he couldn't see, moving was hard, and he was bleeding.]

[This of course didn't stop him form moving. His hands both dropped, standing in a blink of an eye, guns in hand. He couldn't see but he off loaded every bullet in a couple of seconds, letting them bounce off the cave walls while he yelled. And yes, he was still yelling, because this fucking hurt. He didn't stay in place either. When the bullets ran out the guns were tossed. Swords were pulled and swung at an alarming rate. If rocks came for him they would chindhing off the blades. if claws came they would be cut. He couldn't see, but he would try to find his exit, or kill her, or both.]

[The reason she lost to Kid Flash so many months ago was she reacted too quickly. She was never going to move as fast as he did. She was never going to punch quickly enough. Or grab him. She needed to wait, listen, watch, and make him make the poor choices. When the hunter went crazy, her lips curled in a self-satisfied smile.]

[Not moving from her spot against the wall, she watched him take his guns. Each bullet he fired glinted with a pink flash before bouncing off the cave walls, right back at him. A few cut at her arms and legs, light grazes, but she bit back on the pain. She could focus enough to not let them go through her. A gun would not fire at light speed no matter how fast his finger was on the trigger. It slowed him down.]

[When he dropped the guns, she moved. He was too damn fast with melee weapons. She tried to drop some rocks on him from above, but he was deflecting well. He sliced her as she ran past, and she cried out. However, she continued to move, continued to hex the cave ceiling. The more noise she made, the less he would hear her run around him. The sound of her footsteps echoed against the walls. It was getting loud. Dangerous. She was barely dodging the barrage of the cave-in herself. Until finally she threw a hex directly at his back. It was hard, hot, and forceful. It threw him into the cave wall, right into his own swords.]

[thepull_npc]

[It was dumb, he should have known that, to fire a gun or two inside like this, but the panic of his missing eye and beautiful blue face was you know, painful. Generally he didn't get hurt. Not anymore. His speed was everything. He could out run bullets and speeding trains. His speed was what kept him alive, the bullets and swords as well. he was a winner of fast shoot competitions, a sword dancer and could run on water.]

[So how the hell did he get take down with such ease from a little clawed bitch? Everything happened too fast, and for him that was saying something. He deflected rocks, and broke bigger ones, but there was a strange moment and a odd sound, he was sure he heard her, but then--Something hit him, throwing him into a wall, his arms still moving, but coming to a stop. A stop as he realized he had one of his swords run through his own stomach. He gasped, feeling the sharp pain, and slumped there in the dark cave wall, face bleeding, body stiff. Did he just... and on his own...] Oh god... [He barely choked it out, feeling his life starting to slip away.] I... can't... [Die? Well... he could.]

[hexyoutotuesday]

[When he first showed off this speed, Jinx did not expect to win this fight. Maybe distract him and run. Which was the point of the cave-in she was causing. She could trap him, then go find Claudio. The fact that he was going crazy because of getting his face slashed was a surprise to her. Then it almost became fun. The adrenaline was running. She was terrified and thrilled at the same time. Months had passed since she last had a good fight. One that really meant something. When she hexed him into the cave wall, she anticipated him to be knocked around, maybe out, but not...]

[The rocks from the cave ceiling were settling as Jinx dashed toward the hunter. Her eyes were glowing now, adding extra light to see him perfectly. He was slumped there, choking on his words. She hated his voice. Her cheek was still moist from his tongue. Her wounds he made stung her bitterly. And something came over her. A low growl began in her throat. She was disgusted by him, almost infuriated, and somewhat terrified. Something like him could have already taken Claudio away from her. Some sick, revolting fuck who didn't deserve to live. God, he didn't not one bit. And maybe he could have lived from the sword through his stomach. That was just not a chance she could take.]

You can't what? [With a snarl, she grabbed his shoulder and kicked his body over to face her. She grabbed his other sword from his hand, it had her blood on it, and grasped it firmly. She put her foot on his collarbone, pinning him down, and held the sword above his body.] Rot in hell. [And with a great force, she brought the sword down on his chest. Drove it straight into his heart with both hands and a loud cry. She was breathing heavy, and now she was shaking, still holding the hilt, not quite comprehending what she had just done.]

[mademyhell]

[He'd finished up with Xie-Jin, more worse for wear from getting down the tree once the guy was down for the count with the surrounding trees being on goddamn fire, than from the actual fight. Trauma was alive and fucking fine and that was better than he could be sure off for the rest of the people in this fucking mess. He hadn't seen any of the others in long enough that he was starting to get really damn nervous.

And then he sensed Jinx. It was really fucking easy after this long. And hell, he was able to track her from knowing her fears. But this was just goddamn weird. It flared suddenly, louder than when he'd felt her panic...Then suddenly he could barely sense it. At all.

It was so sudden and fucking weird that he took off in that direction without thinking. What. The. Hell. Something could have gone really fucking wrong and he didn't know what to do i-]

...Shit.

[ Trauma spoke before he really got the chance to think, stopping short as he came up behind her. Well. Fuck. What the hell did she do now.]

...Jinx?

[hexyoutotuesday]

[Jinx had not moved. She stood there trying to catch her breath, holding the dead man down by the shoulder with her boot, hands on the sword through his heart. His other was through her stomach. His oddly colored blood was spilled all over the darkened cave floor. Her own blood dripped from the bullet grazes and the slice on her side. When she heard a voice, her body tensed, eyes going wide. Fuck, she was shaking badly. When she finally heard Trauma's voice saying her name, she felt a pang of guilt. She wanted to throw up.]

[Like she was just coming to, she gasped a cry of sheer fear. Her hands released their tight grasp on the sword, knuckles white. Slowly, she stepped off of him. Her hands went to her mouth and she gave off a horrified whimper. Taking several steps backward, past Trauma, she pressed her back against the cave wall, staring wide eyed at the speedster's body. His limp, bloody, lifeless corpse.]

We... we n-need to g-go.

[She couldn't look away. Her body was frozen. All the pain in her body was momentarily numb. She wanted to scream. She wanted to shut off her brain. The HIVE taught her to kill, but actually putting those lessons to use was... it was...]

GO!

[She needed to hide the evidence. Her eyes and hands lit up and the cave walls started shaking. She would complete the cave-in.] Get out... get out NOW!
