Thread: FullMetal Alchemist: Shattered Hope, Dreams, & Faith (Athene & East)

Aisyah There we go. Nice and easy. So far, so good ... They had complied with her orders, which made an internal sigh of relief echo in Aisyah's head. What she'd told Markos was nothing but the honest to gods truth. She'd never dealt with firearms. And despite her martial arts being five to six different types combined in one, a person had to take time and effort to use a move that would actually kill someone. As such, she had more self-defense tactics. Even the ore offensive maneuvers weren't lethal. They could definitely cause a foe to become sore, no questions about that. But not dead in an instant like guns were infamous for doing. Hmph. You think I can't count? she angrily barked. I get that. But I don't need this to take either of you down. This is just a precaution. Indeed, the safety was off. Granted, mainly because it had come that way. All the same, she would have turned it off if it hadn't been when she retrieved it. Still, the threat was a very real, possible one. That she could - and would, as Aisyah had vowed to Markos - pull back on the trigger if push came to shove. And ... well .... that's exactly what these idiots were doing. Ten years ago you would have been a street whore servicing men like us. Her eyes narrowed as they dared to imply such a vile thing happening to someone who hadn't even hit double digit age yet. Shut up, she warned, her voice immediately turning low as venom laced her words. That's not even funny to joke about. I ... who cares about my history with guns! It's not like you two are in a decent position to order me around, are you?! By the standards of basically every region and country, it was true that she was barely a child still. She would hit eighteen next month. Alas, seventeen still equaled just that. Not eighteen. And so, these men weren't too far off in viewing her as a teenager. She just wouldn't sink to a literal child, especially not one who couldn't defend themselves. The fuck are you doing? Stay down! I wasn't kidding around! She hadn't realized until one of the men dared to walk closer to her that her hand was indeed trembling. And as he began closing the distance, it shook harder. STOP! BANG! The attempted jump would be interrupted. Aisyah lifted her arms, readjusting her aim once more, simply to make up for the man trying to lunge for her. But once it was directed in between his eyes, her finger pulled back on the trigger, sending the bullet flying out towards its destination. Even her own eyes couldn't help but widen slightly as she saw her target hit, but perfectly. The body slumped forward as blood began to coat the floor, creating a dark, crimson-hued pool. Oh shit! You ... you did it .... At least not in cold blood, which made her feel a bit better. But not much. Aisyah panted, feeling herself barely holding back from completely hyperventilating. Her eyes narrowed once more as she lifted her head and looked over to the living Amestrian. So?! she hissed angrily, Still wanna test me?! I told you I could do this! I can, and I will shoot again if needed! ... Not to say she would be happy. All the same, he now saw the threat become a reality, which probably helped label how dire things had become in a matter of seconds. Which exact person has the controller to deal with the C4? Which car is he in? Get up! Change of plan! You're going to be my reassurance. My hostage to ensure I can walk through this train safely! Ahh, irony. It really did tend to have a funny way of showing up. First, the seeming reversal of roles, especially when one paid heed to which race was doing what. Now, this survivor going from being a captor to suddenly finding himself soon becoming a captive. Ahh, the irony indeed. Aisyah waited, hoping the man would stop messing around and heed her orders. Regardless of whether he cooperated or not, she began stalking forward, ready to get behind him. Depending on if he complied or not would determine if she needed to force him to stand by grabbing a fistful of hair or not.
