Anya glared at him. Stood up, not saying anything and booked it back to headqaurters as fast as she could. All he could do was hate her now? Great, he saved him. Now he could go on bragging about it for an eternity. She stood outside of headquarters waiting for all of them to get there. What kind of punishment was she to get now?
ooc; be back on soon...

Kein followed Painter with his eyes until he started sprinting a few seconds after he had passed, just to make sure that an agent wouldn't come behind him with a gun. It didn't hurt to be paranoid in these types of situations. Besides, running backwards with a throwing dagger in his hand was a specialty of his. It might have been a subconscious ability, for he had discovered it while he was running one day with other operatives. Or perhaps it was from childhood training or something connected to that. He had no memories of childhood.

Jason sent a commanding gaze to Anya as they whipped by her. It wasnt harsh, but it was stern. It let her know that he needed to talk to her when they got back but it wasnt anything bad. With that he bounded beside his old friend, heading for HQ. "Dont worry Painter. I know how it ends... It always ends the same way. I only escaped that fate today because i was lucky enough that none of htem are as good a shot as i am. On shot to the face and i would be dead. My brain is the only thing that wont grow back." Shepard had never had that expirence to know what didnt grow back but Command had done many tests on it and the brain cells where the only things that didnt grow back. "I wont get attached. You know me. All those men and women that died today were on my team but they knew what they were getting in to."
Anya sighed as she remembered the look Jason gave her. Was it bad? Was it good? She was in some deep trouble with Painter she knew that. But could they honestly expect any less of her? Thats all she did! Was act on instinct rather than thought. Its what her parents did. She hissed under her breath. Just because she was young, doesn't mean she couldn't save Jason. She knew she could. Jason probably knew she could. Painter was just a selfish low life, who wanted to control her every move.
"Good. I might just have to get worried about you. If I see you drawing hearts on the wall with operatives' blood, I'll tell you. Until then, I can only warn you. All clear back there Kein?" They were coming up on the headquarters building, and before nearing it, Painter said, "Just stick with me. Don't bother going to your entrance. It's better that we don't split up." With that, he dove into the warehouse where his entrance was and typed up the code, really fast. In that one second pause afterward, he listened, hard. And he heard an agent, crawling around up there, looking for an entrance. Where Anya had run out. In a hurry. Not paying attention. Stupid. He'd have to get that entrance shut down. Then he turned and dove down the tunnel into relative safety.

"Everyone dies eventually. Once you are born, you begin to die."
"That was not comforting either!"
"It is the way of the Creed. Usually our deaths are violent but quick."
"Oh, yes. There's not a speck on the ground to be seen for miles." More sarcasm into the com as he threw a dagger straight at an agent's chest. "Don't worry. There's just a few. I'll clean this up and get in once I know that everything's all clear." Then he shut the com down. "Well, there's finally quiet externally." He muttered to himself, shutting off his mental doorways with a quiet hush. "Let's do this."

Anya watched as Painter dashed inside the building. She sneered. "Oh look, its our great hero." She was sitting against the wall. "You keep getting slower and slower pussy cat." She'd prepared herself for his harsh comments. Knowing full well that she was to get plenty of them. No doubt about it. She smiled at him. To show she was not afraid of him. Not in the least bit. "Anything you'd like to criticize me on now?"
Jason rolled his eyes, "Cool it Captain. HE is a Commander and you senior officer. Show a bit of respect or you can be demoted as fast as i can put a bullet between your eyes." This was a metaphor he used very often. His speed and accuracy with a gun was renown trhough the whole Nighthawk organization. "Come on then. We need to debrief and then have a bit of fown time. Perhaps the commander here will have better mission this time." He nodded to his friend as they entered teh tunnel to the base. "For now we need a bit of a chat. Almost our whole squad was taken out and i dont know how long before a new team can be assembled with at least half as good knowledge and prowess."
Kein entered, leg inflamed and irritated. "I need a dang breather." He collapsed onto the couch. Silently shifting his mask so that it didn't cover his left eye, Kein curled up on the leather furniture and fell into a light sleep. "Wake me up when something important something happens," He said eyes twitching even in sleep.
Anya shut her mouth. She stood up and walked over to him. She didn't exactly know what to say. Was he angry at her for running off right before there entire team was slaughtered? What was she suppossed to say in a situation like this? What was she supposed to do? She looked at Jason. "Am I in trouble?" She asked calmly and quietly. Trying as hard as she could to make herself look older than she actually was. She looked at Jason, wishing she could know what was on his mind...
