Iris let up her attack as the figure disappeared inside, eyes remaining fixed on the window. She was sure now that whoever this was must've been the vigilante on the news. Who else would be equipped so well for taking down a Del'mor prince? At the thought, she cast a quick furtive glance back towards the car. "We need to get him somewhere safe." She called back, movement catching her eye as something was chucked out of the broken window. The bodyguard who wasn't dealing with her brother lunged towards her.<br/><br/>"Princess, look out!"<br/><br/>The grenades exploded as she instinctively summoned a shield of water to absorb the blast. It still knocked her off balance however, and she stumbled back. Iris let the shield fall as the smoke refused to dissipate, glaring towards the building as she steadied herself. She could hear the sounds of gunfire from inside, knowing that this vigilante was likely slaughtering more of her people. Did they expect to stay her hand and let this happen? Perhaps when they finished with her people they thought she would lay down and die to make this all easier on them. She clenched her fists. They'd invaded her home, killing her people and she had the chance to put an end to this madness. If she went in there now, she could show this vigilante the world of pain they deserved for killing so many innocent victims. Iris felt the water nearby react to her anger, pooling at her feet and clinging to her like a second skin. She fully intended on entering the fray, fury clawing at her belly only to have a hand on her shoulder still her.<br/><br/>The man withdrew it upon seeing her glare, though he didn't step away. "I can't let you do that." He stated, and Iris couldn't help but scoff. "I don't need anyone's permission." She hissed. Rather than looking cowed hiwever, his brow furrowed. "As politely as I can say this, you aren't ready to do this. We know nothing about this vigilante." Iris whipped around, pointing her finger sharply towards his chest. "I know enough to understand they're a coward who won't even show their face as they murder those I'm supposed to protect. They're making supers who've done nothing to deserve it terrified to even leave their homes. I have a change to finish this and I'm somehow expected to do nothing!?" His expression softened a bit, and he glanced back towards the car.<br/><br/>"We need to get your brother to safety. He needs medical attention immediately if he stands a chance of surviving this." Iris's fury faltered at this, glancing back towards the building. She knew he was right, or at the very least he sounded logical. She couldn't stand it though, standing back and doing nothing. It made her feel helpless in the worst sense possible. The man nodded towards the car. "If we leave now, we can work on bringing this bastard to justice. Live to fight another day and all that jazz." Iris felt the fight leave her, the water she'd been holding onto slipping back towards wherever it'd come from. "Let's go." She agreed, letting him lead her towards the car.<br/><br/>Just as she was about to get in however, a voice called out through the murky air. Iris tensed, glaring towards the voice. "Don't let them goad you." The bodyguard hissed, nudging her towards the car. She glanced towards him, trying to will her body to listen but there was just this energy buzzing beneath her skin. He let out a soft sigh, clearly seeming to come to some sort of understanding before he shoved her inside. Iris let out an indignant yelp as he closed the door, motioning for the driver to start the car. "Wait, no!" She gasped, watching the man retrieve the pistol at his side and head into the smoke and the car jumped forward.<br/><br/>"We have to go back!" She shouted, trying to spot the man through the haze, but all she could hear was the sharp sound of gunfire. "I'm afraid I can't do that." He replied with a sympathetic grimace. "Your safety is my number one priority right now. And he was right about Connor you know. We need to get him to a medical facility." Iris felt frustrated tears sting her eyes, glancing back once more before letting out a quiet sob. Next time would be different. She'd make sure of it. Taking in a deep breath, she wiped her eyes and nodded. "Alright. How close is the nearest headquarters?" Heaven knew that was the only place they could get what they needed.
