[One of Loki's beasts had gotten too close to the bar. She had promised everyone that she would not go outside unless it was absolutely necessary, and now with people to protect within, and Cloud and Vincent away, Tifa was going to take it upon herself to protect those that she cared about. Having told Denzel to keep an eye on everyone, she went

Wow, that's...

[Pepper clears her throat. She feels like she shouldn't be surprised, but she is.]

Were you with anyone? Is anyone hurt?

[finalheavens]

[It's a moment before Tifa appears back on screen. She had gone over to the beast to make sure it was properly dead.]

No one's hurt, thank Shiva. The others are still inside the bar.

[notbuiltforthis]

That's...reassuring. Are there other monsters? Do you need back-up?

[finalheavens]

[She takes a moment to look back and forth down the street the bar is on, and she shakes her head.]

Surprisingly monster-free. If there are any others, I should be able to handle it. Besides, Cloud and Vincent aren't too far away if I need some back-up.

Thanks for the offer, though.

[ If by 'keep an eye on everyone' she meant 'follow her outside' then Denzel is doing a brilliant job at his appointed task! How was he supposed to hide inside when there was danger to be faced?

He rushes over. ]

Mom!!! Are you okay?!

[finalheavens]

[bnfjkdnjfkds Y U DO DIS SON]

Denzel! [She's quick to get over to him, pulling him away from the rubble in case there's another monster nearby.] I told you to stay inside!

[xnotyetaherox]

[ HE WANTS TO BE A HERO TOO DAMMIT! ]

But... What if you'd got eaten?

[finalheavens]

[TOO TINY TO BE A HERO YET]

I told you I wasn't going to. I never break a promise, do I?

[Cloud is out in the thick of it and he gives Tifa the smallest smirk. This isn't the time for them to show weakness but he can't help being glad she hasn't lost her touch.]

Having fun, Tifa? [There's nothing fun about battles, Cloud knows that, but sometimes you have to forget, sometimes just letting yourself enjoy it for a moment can block out everything else.]

[finalheavens]

Oh, you know, sometimes punching a few monsters releases some stress. I can't let you guys have all the fun out there.

[loveandstrife]

[He laughs faintly, nodding once.] Right. You want a hand over there? I think I'll head back anyway.

[finalheavens]

I can't see past the end of the block, so I'm not sure if there's any more closer to the bar. Think you can check it out for me?

[finalheavens]

We should be fine. There was only one. If there's more, I'll call, okay?

[finalheavens]

Stay safe.

[Heather looks more impressed than intimidated by the fierce battle]

Damn, bro. You're glowing....

[finalheavens]

What? Oh! [She laughs softly.] They're special attacks.

[motherofgodbro]

Oh. Well, how do you do them?

[She's never seen anything like that before and she's intrigued by the thought of it]
