Mistique stayed in the shadows to avoid any light reflection off of her scales, eyes widening as she continued listening to the conversation. Stolen— stolen drugs from the capital?? The chameleon began to chew on a knuckle anxiously. What was she supposed to do? Turn them in? But it sounded like he really needed it... why didnt he just buy it from a pharmacy?? Questions continued to race through her mind as she watched the exchange, her tail spines standing on end when the gun was revealed. What had she gotten herself into?

Cyrus looked down, debating his options. He then proceeded to sucker punch V. The wolf had handled bigger threats before, this shouldn't take to long right? The smuggler stumbled back, and was enraged. "Y'know, I thought no one was gonna die today. Looks like I was wrong." With that, the weapon was drawn - they both felt only one of them would walk out of there.
-
Mistique gasped loudly as it immediately escalated, then slapped her hand over her mouth in horror as it echoed through the alleyway. She froze in the spot, eyes wide, praying they hadnt heard.
-
"You did not rat me out!" V shouted, now readying something else. Cyrus wasn't paying attention, he was taking note of the gun. 6 shots, 6 chances to get shot. The wolf faked a charge and winced as one of the three bullets immediately fired struck him. Without any hesitation, he ran forward at full speed. . . and struck his elbow with all his might at V's neck, causing the smuggler to drop the weapon and fall to the ground, gasping for air. Cyrus took the opportunity to take what medication he would need in the future, as well as the gun.
-
Mistique felt her hand tremble against her mouth as she stared in shock. He had just — gotten shot — and struck someone in the windpipe— all to get stolen medicine from the capital?! Her stomach knotted and twisted in her gut with nervousness, eyes round as saucers. I need to— to call the police — or something—
Distracted by the need to run, Mistique didn’t notice as her scales shifted to bright yellow with fear.

//Cyrus was the one who was shot, only once though
/Cyrus allowed himself to get to his knees, he spent more stamina than he intended. He was caught off gaurd when he finally noticed Mistique's presence. The wolf opened his mouth to explain, but noticed a camera flash from V's cellphone. "You're both dead, you hear me! Dead!" This made Cyrus grit his teeth, she had nothing to do with this!
-
(I fixed it ^^; sowwyyy)
Mistique’s grey eyes dilated and her breath caught her throat in as the camera flashed. She stayed frozen to the spot as if glued there, not moving even when the two of them were threatened.
-
Cyrus said nothing and got his feet. The one thing he hated the most was when the innocent got involved. He then proceeded to stomp on V's head, an effort to buy more time, not to kill. He turned slowly to Mistique, "We need to get out of here, now."
-
Mistique flinched and suddenly spring to life, her scales staying a starch yellow as she took a step backwards. “Wh-What about you,” She squeaked out with a trembling voice.
-
"Hm?" Cyrus questioned at first, but realised she was referring to his wound, "I'll deal with that later, for the sake of both our lives, we need to go." He was slightly limping towards her, "Why in the world did you follow me?"
-
“Do you need help??” She avoided the question to skitter towards him, offering an arm for him to lean on.
-
Cyrus thought about this for moment before nodding, "Alright." He allowed himself helped once more, all the while trying to think of the quickest route to the nearest safehouse.
-
“Where are we headed?” She gently wrapped an arm under his and hoisted him up as best as she could, wincing an eye shut slightly. She tried not to look at the wound in order to avoid the squeeze of her stomach — blood had always bothered her.
-
Cyrus grunted as quietly as he could, "Head north for five blocks, then two west. If I black out before we get there go to the tan building covered in graffiti." He put on hand onto his wound, his jacket was starting to dampen.
Here's an image of Cyrus btw.
-
(Cool!)
“Ok—“ Mistique paused a moment in speech, although her legs continued to walk. “Wait, which way is north and which way is west—“ she clenched her teeth as she tried not to think about the blood, oh Chaos don’t think about the blood.
-
"The sun rises in the East and sets in the West." Cyrus replied, "Of you still can't figure it out, the mountains are all northward." He should have bought and worn a bulletproof vest, and this could have been avoided. . . Darn.
-
“Ok,” she winced, looking to the sky, hoping the same rule applied to the moon. She began to follow Cyrus’ direction, holding him up as best as she could as she continued to walk. She perked weakly. “H-Hey, I ... I guess I should introduce myself... my name is Mistique; what’s yours?” She glanced over to him with a nervous but friendly smile.
-
"It's Cyrus," he replied, pausing for a moment, "thank you for helping me out, Mistique." He bit his tongue to keep himself awake, and more so not to topple them both over.
-
“No problem,” Mistique responded as she noted the weariness in his voice. “I’m sorry for getting you into all this trouble — just stay awake, okay?” She continued to walk forward, biting her lip.
-
Cyrus noticed her tone, and reminded himself they were relying on each other. He briefly looked over his shoulder to check if anyone was following, and to his relief, there was no one. He decided to try and stand up straighter in order to draw away negative attention.
