Oliver froze at the distant sound of a gunshot, and the closer sound of a figure falling. She quickly skirted to the side of the ally she was in, out of sight from the direction she had heard the shot. One of those d*mn rooftop gang freaks, she thought to herself. She pocketed a bracelet that she had been inspecting, a recent prize stolen from the last party she attended. She smiled- it was easier to steal from men- a little flirting, and they were all too willing to allow her close to them, but jewelry was harder for her to come by. She bided her time a little before she was to step out onto the main road- she wanted to stay out of the other gang's way. At least she had the decency to let her presence be known for the most part- simply not her intentions. The other gang on the other hand were quick to catch someone by surprise. Having lived on the streets her whole life, Oliver knew to keep watch of the sky as well. As she waited, she took a heavily creased paper from her belt, reading her own scrawling handwriting. She bent over it to block the worn paper from the rain.

Banshee moved along the rooftop watching the girl that had scarpered quickly at the gunshot, he adjusted his rifle standing side stepping sliding back the bolt and the barrel span again. He zoomed in on her watching her, he slid down onto a lower roof swinging his sniper around onto his back. He launched of a grapple robe and as the zip line connected "He" slides across it and lands on the opposite roof moving along.

The sound of the zipline was muffled through the rain, but being on alert and listening for it, Oliver mentally tracked the sound. Tucking the paper back into the belt, she pulled her knife from its sheath, as she looked around for smaller alleys blocked to the sky. If she was going to have to dual with someone in this weather, she planned to do so in short distance, where she had the advantage, and a sniper wasn't of much use. She groaned a bit. The occasional petty fights between gangs drove her mad.

Banshee dropped down mid zip lip grabbing a a joystick from each side of his belt pulling it down, he pulls it down the wings of glider burst out form his backpack as he flew down. He skidded to a stop in one of the alleys, he didnt usually come down to street level but he was intruiged by this one. Normally people ran at the meer sight of a screamer. He reached up drawing his chainsword from his back, not powering it up yet as he moved too the edge of the corner peeking around into the alley.

As 'he' looked into the ally, Oliver immediately recognized 'him' as the other gang's leader, a mysterious figure whom she couldn't care less about, herself not being one to get caught up in useless rumors. She stood against the wall about 10 feet down from where he was. Her knife glinted dully in the moonlight, with scattered light refracted by the rain. The light always seemed not quite direct in the large city, blurred by the smoke of chimneys. "I'm not looking for a fight, Banshee." She spat, "I don't care who you killed, but you let me mind my own business, got that?!" She was surprisingly aggressive and seemingly unworried, especially considering the size difference of her knife and his sword.

Banshee revved up his chainsword finding that his cover was broke, the slums smoke filled the air as he stepped around fully into the ally. "You! You didnt run! You're not a civillian!" His voice comes out male, but with a tiny effect too it, this is quite a common sound in the slums though, voice boxes replaced. "Who do you work for?!" Banshee called out the sword gripped firmly in his right hand his left hand flexing and unflexing around the primer for the grappel on that arm.

"I'm well aware of the fact that travel by zipline is faster than travel by foot, so I think I'll just take my chances standing my ground." I spat, raising an eyebrow, but taking a few steps back. "I don't work for anyone but myself and my own gang- I want nothing to do with yours. No more a civilian than you, and not someone of government either. We're both alley rats." I mapped out the alley we were in in my peripheral vision. I knew the area pretty well, and I was confident I could get him lost if he pursued me.

[Brox]

"Which gang?! You aint got no colors!" Banshee yelled over the soudn of the thunder that cracked over head, it rained more often than not in the slums it seemed. Banshee knew that the area was too dense for him to pursure her from above if he needed too. He lowered his blade to show her he meant to threat even letting the revs down. She couldnt tell anything about him at this distance still fully armored up mask and goggles on, gloves covering hishands.
