@anthony_stark: Yeah. Not particularly, she thought, somewhat annoyed, in response to his claim of passing for a rebel. It was, in her eyes, pretty audacious, the sheer simplicity with which he regarded himself and his actions. And furthermore, his rude shove served as added insult, when she already had a mind to bash him over the head with the bow. Instead, she simply rolled her eyes. "Hell-looo. Not in optimal cond—"
Before she could finish her sarcastic chiding, however, the attackers sprung forth, pouncing down behind him as well as her. Just barely tracking her assailant before he could catch her by complete surprise, a forearm was placed between the rope and her neck, thwarting the choking attempt. With her free arm, she swung up and backwards, wrapping it around the neck of the man attacking her, using the hold to drag him around to her frontal view. This time he charged her directly, and while far from the greatest among fighters, she could handle herself against a single man such as this. A spinning dodge let him collide freely with the rock wall, and from there she took him behind in a rear naked choke, though purposefully, she did not squeeze tight, allowing him his breath and blood flow to his brain, for the moment. Next came the hard part.
"No...soy..." she searched frantically for the words in her mind, really regretting not taking the chance to learn Spanish when she could've. "Enemigo!" Once finding the word, she blurted it out immediately, almost overjoyed to be able to find it, and she repeated it. "No soy enemigo! Please. Just stop." When he had settled, she passed a glance to see what the officer had been doing; a glance which quickly turned to a glaring mix of shock and disdain.
"Watch what the hell you're doing, you dumbass!" she shouted, reflexively letting go of the man she'd been engaging and rushing over to the other two. "What the hell is wrong with you!? We could use their help, remember!?" And from there she continued grumbling to herself before suddenly, reluctantly turning back to him. "How's your Spanish?"
