The emerald haired woman stood still as Alex spoke her words, a gust of air dancing into the hair of her former teammate, as her cape fluttered behind her. As the silent stood, the tension grew, the young assassin didn't know what to expect, she knew what kind of a fighter... killer, Kelly was. She even trained with her for countless hours as she helped her in developing her fighting technique. Homicide understood how deadly the convict was, and knew that one wrong move would cause her life. Keeping her chocolate brown eyes focused on her former friend the woman then turned her head, as a spiteful smile came upon her face.
"So, this is what it's come to... after all we have accomplished it's come to pistols." She then began to circle around Homicide, who was still in the same crouching position, not moving a muscle as she focused on Kelly's footsteps and breathing. "I gave you purpose, I gave you a home, I gave you a family." Lowering her head a fist formed from her right hand as it began to shake. If she would have known ahead of time... if she would have been contacted before her arrival back home...
"I sat in that cell, telling myself that my sister would come to rescue me, she'd bust me out... however a man, with explosive cards freed me, he came to my rescue."
Homicide's head then shot up as her eyes widen. "G-gambler?" She whispered to herself. He was the only man she knew of with explosive cards, and the only one who would go to those extremes to bust a person he didn't know, out of jail. "Kelly-" Homicide began to speak until the woman cut her off.
"When the last time you saw my face.... when was the last time you saw an inch of my skin..." It was a trick question, Now that she thought about it... she had never seen Kelly's face... ever... and in this darkness, she still couldn't make out her face, just her burning green eyes, filled with rage and her emerald hair that flapped in the wind. "NEVER!" Stopping her movements, the woman was now standing on the edge of the building, looking out into the city as she began to speak the code of Murder Inc, something that the two came up with each other.
“"Now the rules of the family have nothing to do with the outside world." She started speaking the words through her bitter lips as Homicide spoke in sync with her, each of them saying the oaths from memory.
"The outside world don't count here this is an inner circle of our family, what we say goes.
Anybody anyplace else that disrespects you deal with us,
If you're with us you're with us, and that's it,
that's the way it goes, there's no such thing
as an outsider coming in, we don't let no one in,
we use all of them to do our dirty work,
and they come in they do our dirty work and that's just the way it is.
Your Family is your life that's what it is life and death."
Homicide frowned in anger as she shook her head slightly, she shouldn't have listened to Espada, she should have gone to rescue Kelly, damn it... if she knew ahead of time... Looking back up she saw that Kelly was now gone from her spot.
"Sh!t." Alex whispered as she then saw Kelly soar up into the sky from the edge of the building, propelling herself by the use of power lines as she twist her body up and over the young assassin as the sound of sharp metal being drawn could be heard. "Damn it!" Spinning around Homicide stood ready in defense mode, the memories of their training together playing inside her head as she watched Kelly rush at her, pulling her left fist back and thrusting it forward haymaker style. Alex remembered this part of training, she immediately leaned back as far as she could, feeling the rush of the air from Kelly's fist going past her fist in a 'whoosh'. Pulling herself back up she let out a smirk as she saw the killer then try to pull another punch, this time pulling her left arm in a right angle, Kelly's arm smashing into Homicides as the impact felt like a metal pole smashed into her arm. "MMpphh!" Homicide let out a grunt as she quickly lowered her left arm in pain. Standing there as her left arm was burning with pain,this was more than she remembered while training with Kelly, and even with her special armor, the force of impact was still almost too much for her to handle. Her arm shook with pain as Kelly then spun like a dancer around her body and to her back too fast for Homicide to keep track of and immediately felt her knee smash into her back, sending a wave of pain rushing up and down her spine. Falling forward Homicide curled up her body, allowing her to do a front roll on the ground , shifting her body back to Kelly in a now full crouched position and threw out two ninja stars at the same time in one fluid motion.
As the stars twirled through the air Kelly launched herself upward and away from the bladed weapons, causing them to simply be thrown off of the building. "Damn it..." Homicide grumbled as she stood up, Kelly now in front of her as she thrust her head forward, Alex shifting her body weight to the left as her head smashed into her left shoulder instead. "UGH!" Homicide grabbed a hold of her shoulder as she felt it pulsate in pain, stumbling back from Kelly a bit as she then was then lift from the ground and thrown straight downward, her back smashing into the pavement ground as the air was knocked out of her, coughing and gasping for air as she stood up, only to quickly move to the right as a fist was thrown at her. Homicide quickly began to shift her body around, not moving her legs, but her body, shifting from left to right, managing to dodge her punches until she felt a ram onto her butt, sending her to her knees as she took in deep breaths.
"s-sh!t Kelly... did you get metallic implants done while I was gone." she slowly stood up, her arm left arm blistering with pain, as her back was. The raven haired assassin began stretching out her back as she re-focused and pulled out one of her silver daggers, laced with her poison as she twirled it in her fingers a couple of times. "I didn't find out, till I came back from my mission, remember, the one YOU sent me off to? The four month long mission? I didnt find out... about any of this, until I came back to the states, Espada told me what happened, just about a month ago." She kept her eyes on her dagger as she spoke. "If I would have known ahead of time, you KNOW I would have been there for you." she then looked up at Kelly, her eyes focused on hers. "And I wouldn't trust that man who bailed you out... your better off dead than working with him. He was the reason I was locked up in jail, remember, I told you?" she stopped twirling the blade. "About the team who left me to rot in jail, and caused me to lose my power?" She chuckled. "That bastard... if I live through this, I'm going after him..." Pausing for a moment Alex spoke again. "I honestly didnt come to fight you, I wanted to talk, but..." feeling her arm still throbbing she then took off in a dead sprit towards Kelly, a smirk on her face even though her 'friend' couldnt see it. "Like you told me when we first met, actions speak louder than words!"
Now holding her blade in her right hand, with the blade sticking out to the right side of her body Homicide pulled back her arm and thrust it forward, making it look as if she was going to try and slice through Kelly's abdomen, but at the last possible second, Alex dropped to her knees, sliding along the ground, to the right of Kelly, as she attempted to drag her blade into her knee cap and slice through her vastus intermedius, a muscle in the leg that helped flex the knee and hip. Still sliding and now behind Kelly, she then stuck out her left foot, causing her body to slightly turn to the right so her right shoulder was facing the back of Lethal Weapon and thrust her blade laterally across once again, this time trying to slice through the gastrocnemius of her left leg, that also helped in flexing the knee. Hoping to put at least one of the knees out of commission as Alex stood up and thrust the blade forward, trying to jab it right into her left lower back, just under the last rib where her spleen would be, as she quickly retracted her blade and shift her body so she would be facing Kelly face to face again, if she wasn't already.
Using her left hand she flattened it out, so that her fingers where pointed, pulling her arm up and back like a snake she then thrust her hand forward in two quick snaps, trying to jab her fingers into Kellys right and left side of her neck, where her carotid arteries were at, attempting to pinch down the arteries so that it slows down the blood supply to her brain, causing her to become light headed. At the same time she's doing this, Alex puts her dagger away and slips out her desert eagle, and immediately followed her last attack as she shot out three bullets. One aimed at the mid-left section of her chest, second aimed at her left shoulder and the last one aimed at her right shoulder.
