Characters: Mana,Irkalla Setting: The Alleys of the seedier parts of town. Previous Threads: None Plot Summary: Mana, not being allowed to sleep in the park anymore has in her confusion tried to find Another place to lay her head which has unfourntly led to her falling in an unfortunate situation with a group of gang members, well unfournate her-but fournate for a certain alien!
She was was in a pickle. She didn't really have a place to stay, not like the other hero types around. Well not that she was really one herself but.... Still. She couldn't stay in the park anymore ether, apprantly the authorities in addition to not liking her getting food ALSO didn't like her sleeping in the park! Sheesh well wad this better for them? She had tried going out into the docks and allies and the like and well.... The result was getting surrounded by all these gang members, all dressed the same to!
"Can you guys please just umm.. go? I just wanted a place to sleep is all making things go boom would be a but noisy and...don't think it's well liked around here"
Annnnnd all that got hed was a group laugh from them. Mana frowned unsure of what to do, she was getting hungry again and she hadn't gotten much rest yet before these jerks decided to just shake her awake. She didn't think Kaie would like if her powers were used against them ether.... She wasn't sure what to do, sge wasn't much of a fighter without her powers. Her only real option Was to try talking them down then right? But they didn't really seem open to listen, just taking stuff. Come on! She didn't have much as is! Could she really not use her powers at all...? She... Really wasn't sure what to do aside from... Just letting herself get hurt? She didn't really like that thought but...
To conquer the world, the first thing she'd need to do was make a name for herself. There was a variety of ways to do that, apparently - politics, starting a youtube channel, working for known criminals. None of these appealed to Irkalla, or even crossed her mind. Her plan was much simpler, and definitely a lot more enjoyable. She walked the street's alleyways, not trying to get anywhere in specific: it was more a matter of what she'd find.
"Hey guys, she wants us to go away! Isn't that cute?"
Her ears picked up the demeaning shout, and she started to walk faster. She had found her prey: fools who saw themselves as predators. Turning the corner, she found a group of hoodlums terrorizing a small girl (well, about the same height as Irkalla, but the posture is what counts). The warrior counted about a dozen, late teenagers or young adults. Some waved around knives or other small weapons to seem more intimidating. It didn't work. They needed at least a thousand more soldiers in order to impress the alien.
"Good evening!"
She shouted, wanting to get their attention. The sight was probably pretty strange: a slim 5'3" girl with salmon skin, her face covered in black geometrical tattoos, her short black hair dotted with white horns. Her clothes, traditional robes from her proud warrior caste that would inspire fear and respect in her home planet, were best described in Earth fashion as "hippie goth", a long-sleeved shirt of fine fabric and a skirt that went down to her ankles and had slits on both sides, both pieces of clothing colored black with dark red highlights. She wore no shoes.
"Who is most cruel, most ruthless around? Who is most mighty warrior in these parts?"
After few seconds of silence and surprised looks, one of the thugs broke out from the group, walking towards the alien. Tall and lanky, with a shaved head and what resembled the beginning of a failed goatee. He approached until they were less than a meter apart, both staring each other down.
"You're looking at him."
She nodded, and what followed happened fast enough that one could miss it by blinking. Irkalla jumped, spinning in the air and hitting the man with a kick. He flew across the alleyway, only stopping when he hit a wall, greatly cracking it and then falling to the floor unconscious.
"Wrong! I am most cruel, most ruthless, most mighty warrior around! And each of you has choice, bow down or perish." She spoke slowly, staring at each of the thugs in turn, making sure she was understood by all of them. In the end, her eyes stopped on the girl. "I give you ten seconds for choosing."

And they just laughed... Great. The girl sighed in defeat. She couldn't make them move.... Kaie probaly wouldn't like to much if she blew them up or anything. She wasn't really.... Sure what to do. Maybe if she offered them the spot and found another one? Though they seemed determined not to leave her alone to. Well until the ither womab came up.
She was pretty cool to! The way she sprung in was praise worthy in her eyes. She didn't back down from the bullies at all. Something that became more apprsnt when she k ocked their arrogent leader in there butt, something she couldn't help but chuckle at, likely within hesring range of those hat were left. They were then given a choice. Well she thought the answer was pretty obvious to get.
"You know the answer seems pretty obvious to me? I mean No way your beating her up..."
She wasn't joking, despite them being jerks Mana was to an extent trying to help them, not because she liked them at all of course, soley to prevent them from having their respective butts handed to them, though if they kept it up they were just going to be smashed into the ground anyway. Well if the alien woman was talking to her? She knew her answer. She clearly wasn't standing against her.
Stunned silence. The thugs looked at each other, then at Irkalla, then back at each other, then at the unconscious body of their buddy, then back at each other. All of them wanted to run away, but none of them wanted to be the first to do so, and as such they were at an impasse, waiting for someone else to make a choice they could follow... until Mana casually contributed with her opinion.
"Kill her! Kill that b****!" One of the men finally shouted, as if only to contradict the girl, and the group rushed towards Irkalla.
"Bad choice." Was her casual reply before effortlessly ducking under a lead pipe, tripping the attacker and punching the gangster behind him, sending him flying into another guy and knocking both of them out of the fight. Another man tried to attack her with a knife, which she easily sidestepped while grabbing his wrist, bending it into a very uncomfortable position causing him to drop his weapon and quickly grabbing the back of his head, dispatching him with a knee strike. A tentative flying kick by one of the attackers only caused his leg to be grabbed mid-air, and his whole body to be used as a club to take out two other guys, and a pair of thugs that attempted to flank her only managed to be grabbed and have their heads bashed against each other.
In the end, most of the criminals were knocked out, or in pain. The pipe wielder that had been tripped was slowly trying to get up, a thug that didn't get the chance to attack was standing frozen in front of Irkalla, his legs shaking too much from fear to move properly, and the delinquent that gave the order to attack...
"What are you doing?" She moved her head slightly to the side in order to have a better look at him past the terrified guy. Instead of attacking with his group, he had decided to secure his safety with a hostage, and attempted to grab Mana, holding a knife close to her throat. The way he was shaking betrayed his feelings: he was very, very scared. But he was determined to recover, using any tricks he had under his sleeve.
"Don't you move or I'll kill her!"
"...What?"
"Are you deaf? You do anything else, this girl dies!"
"I... I do not follow."
She raised her eyebrow, curious. Why exactly would threatening someone else have any effect on her? Was it one of the human rituals? A cultural thing? The reason why escaped her, but she still stopped, not out of fear or any care for the girl's well-being, but by the sheer weirdness of the situation. Her puzzled look as she tried to figure out what exactly the man was doing could maybe be read as concern for the girl, and her lack of actions might reinforce the idea, but none of those things crossed her mind. She only wanted to know how the situation would unfold.
He didn't listen... None of them did. It was an immature move, a foolish one to. Your faced with an alien clearly able to outmatch your surperior, your leader and your answer is to charge simply to spite a young girl. Mana gave a sigh. It was so... dumb. Even her sister wasn't that reckless. They were just going to get themselves hurt.
She wasn't wrong ether, but their was one even more foolish than the rest of them. The one that tried to use her as a hostage. Now she didn't like being used as a hostage, it wasn't a situation she appriacted and it's not like their wasn't worry there. But... She couldn't help but lemant his idiocy. The attacker didn't know mana, Mana didn't know the attacker. Their was know leverage aside from hoping the alien had a soft spot for small girls! The other reason he was foolish was something she couldn't blame him for. But it was also what you got for assuming every non violent person was also defenseless.
"Sir... With all the other foolish actions your taking... I take it holding a bomb is now among them?"
A small sphere of energy formed in Mana's thumb... She shot right at the man's side in an attempt to spook him. It wasn't a big explosion, just big enough to be visible and go off like a gunshot. If successful she'd then take the chance kick him square in his gut.
"Your dumb btw, think your tactics over better! Now go, I'd rather not hurt more needlessly!"
Mana then gave a shooing motion before turning to face Irkalla with a smile.
"Now... It was bow or perish right? I can do a great curtisy ya know! Does that count?"

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.
