Thread: Beat the Elite

Well this is just perfect. Tala muttered angrily to herself as she some idiot take a flying leap off the building across from her before landing on the ground below and starting a fight with the men. There was something to be said about subtlety but it seemed that the man had missed out on that lesson in life. As arms and feet were swinging down below Tala could feel her frustrations mounting over what this job was turning out to be. She had assumed it would be something quick and simply with her only needing to knock the men out before picking up the briefcase herself. Yet with this turn of events there was no way this was going to be a clean job at all. At first she assumed that the mystery man might have been a member of a rival gang but his movements were far too quick to be just another criminal. No, the speed and his clothing could only mean one thing he was a damned lab rat. A not so nice term used in the underworld regarding the modified soldiers that the government employed to get some of their harder jobs done. They were supposed to be better, faster and stronger then the regular human but that didn't mean a thing to her right now. All she knew was that this lab rat was trying to get in the middle of her and a successful mission. Crouching down, Tala took her own leap off the roof before landing gently on the hard concrete below. The men seemed to be preoccupied with the soldier and she was more then happy to let them have their go at him allowing her free access to the briefcase. Frankly, she couldn't care if they lived or died as long as she got her hands on the briefcase and brought it back to base. Figures that they had left it unattended when they went to deal with the intruder. Picking herself up she dusted off her jacket and as quietly as possible she stuck to the shadows inching closer and closer to it. It was only a couple of feet away now and she would have it in her hands if it wasn't for the plasma bullet that shot past her missing her head by only a fraction of an inch. Hey! What the hell do you think you're doing! One of the men shouted angrily as he turned from the intruder and started advancing towards her with his gun pointing out ready to shoot. Sighing softly she slumped her shoulders and realized there was really no way around it. She would have preferred to keep this clean and not get any blood on her clothes but it didn't seem as if the gorilla with the gun would go for that. Sorry hun, but I need your little briefcase. Tala said with a wink as a smirk played on her lips. She had a gun pointed towards her ready to put a sizable hole in her head but she seemed completely at ease about the whole situation. The man gave out a loud growl and went to fire at her again but she was quicker this time. Before he could even pull the trigger a red ball of energy was fired at him not only knocking the gun out of his hand but completely destroying his hand in the process. The man let out a cry of anguish as he doubled over clenching his arm only to look up and see red sparks and faint hints of steam coming from Tala's own hand. While he was kept busy with the missing limb she made a grab at the briefcase ready to get the hell out of there and let the lab rat deal with everything else.
