Unfortunately for Skit the girl holding on to his tail enjoyed a good brawl a little too much and the kick towards her jaw was an open invitation. "A visit with Mr. Hall it is," she said as if in explanation. The girl smirked, not releasing her grip on his tail, as her free arm instantly moved up to block his foot from hitting her face. The impact of his foot left nothing but a fading red mark on her forearm as she took the opening with a kick to try to sweep his feet out from under him.
Something had gone very wrong here. The girl had looked pretty sturdy, but apparently she had some training to go with that freakish strength. Skit's foot rebounded off her arm, and she barely moved. Skit used the force of the rebound to spin himself into a stance, facing her. She was a tough opponent. If the feel so far was any clue, she was physically stronger than him. He'd have to pull out some tricks here. They were in a shadowy place, but she didn't give him time to fade into one. The girl went for a low sweep, forcing Skit to hop over it. He jumped in over the sweep, trying to knee her. The sooner he took her out of the action, the better.
She kept her grip on his tail even as he whirled to face her. Rose looked amused. The dark smirk on her face reminiscent of the mercenary father she was so like. The girl's arm lowered to take the brunt of the impact from his knee but it just cushioned the blow slightly. She made an "oof" noise, her hand on his tail loosening before she gripped it too tightly for an instant and released it. In that moment, with both of her hands now free to grip at his shoulders, she charged to shove him against the curving, grimy sewer wall.
How strong was this girl? She'd barely winced when she hard blocked his knee, stopping him head-on. At least she'd released his tail, but he wished she hadn't given it that goodbye squeeze. Skit winced slightly, backing off a bit. That was going to bruise, but it didn't feel like she'd broken anything. She wasn't giving him much time to act either, but this time she was being a bit more obvious. She charged him and Skit shifted his weight to the side, leaving his leg low in her way and trying to trip her headfirst into the wall.
Her shin smashed into his leg in a way that sent a jolt up to her spine. Rose faltered, her steps stumbling, but she shifted her body weight so that instead of falling into the wall she'd fall on Skit. The youngest Wilson had no problem with grappling her opponents to the ground and her hands moved again to grip her adversary. Both of them, however, would probably have issues if Skit didn't manage to keep his balance as close as they were to the deeper trough of the sewer.
Skit winced. She was sturdier than he'd thought, that trip attempt had banged up his shins. And now she'd managed to grab on and turn it into a tackle. The ratboy grinned. She was giving it a good effort, but she'd gotten into his range. She had a good grip, but he had bigger, sharper teeth, and a longer snout to put them to use. Skit slammed his palms on the ground, stopping their roll and stabilizing them with him on his back and her pinning him. Let her think she had an advantage. Then he leaned up, trying to bite at her face.
Rose didn't notice that Skit had stopped their roll, she was too busy trying to get her hands around his throat, but when they did finally stop she noticed triumphantly that she was on top. She kept the giant rat pinned as her triumphant grin turned wicked, but she had no idea she'd willingly gotten close to his best weapon. Rose's eyes widened and she flailed back comically, releasing her hold on him, when his face got a little too close to hers. "Ewwwww!" she exclaimed. "Did you just?- ewwwww!"
Now that got her off. Skit rolled back onto his feet, a smug grin on his snout. "That's the thing about cornered rats, kid. We bite." Now he had the opening he needed to get away. Skit stepped back into a shadow, shimmering out of sight. He wasn't sure he had enough cover to move right now, but maybe she'd think he'd teleported and leave. If not, he could always try to take out a light or two and make a break for it in the dark.
Rose made a face, the idea of biting people who tasted like sewers obviously not sounding terribly palatable, before her eyes widened again at the rat-man's sudden disappearance. He was gone! She peered down both ways for a confused moment before swearing colorfully in her mother's tongue. "Stupid rats," she complained as she switched back to English. "Stupid fat rats in sewers." The girl got to her feet, making a face at the grime on her clothes, before looking around again with a huff.
A fat rat skittered past where Skit was hiding in the shadows. It drew her pale eyes to his hiding spot, but her attention was much more easily captured by the movement on the ground. Her face lit up at the familiar little rat. "Mr. Whiskers!" she cried out lunging forward to catch the rat before he could get too far.
Skit could breathe a little easier now, awful smell aside. She seemed to be giving up, or at least she was frustrated. He just needed to wait it out a little longer, and he'd be free. A smile broke out across his face. If only she hadn't grabbed his tail, he could have done this from the start and avoided this whole mess. Stupid humans, always thwarting his plans.
Then she had to thwart them again. With the help of Mr. Whiskers, of course. The tubby rat came scampering into sight, making a beeline towards Skit. And sure enough, the girl scampered after it. He wasn't going to be able to keep his cover, the shadow was too small and she was going to bowl right through it. He erupted out of the shadows as she bent down to grab at the rat, jumping over her. He pushed off her shoulder and made a run down the tunnel, trying to find another shadow to hide in. This whole day had been a total wash, and it kept getting worse.

The roleplay takes place after the series end of the original Teen Titans animated show, but does not include the movie Trouble in Tokyo. Since then Robin has been on something of a recruiting spree, and many new young heroes have found themselves a home in Jump City as well as Titan Tower.
