<em>The avenger watched the young woman carefully, warily, however, had he intended to take her down easily, his prudence would have cost him dearly, as he realized her plan too late to be able to stop her. As it was, he allowed himself a small, wolfish smile full of fangs. Clever girl.<br/><br/>While he finds himself surprised by her declaration, it did little to deter his suspicion. It wasn't as if the government, wanting to cover up the existence of the supernatural world, didn't sometimes put out hits on any paranormal creature available. But then why would she be working with the other? This girl... she complicated things.<br/><br/>Stalking quietly near enough to the edge of the trees to be able to leap at least half the distance between them in a bound, but far enough away that she wouldn't be able to see him with any measure of ease, he tenses, then calls out in a surprisingly mellifluous baritone.<br/><br/>"Arrest on what grounds?"<br/><br/>He was careful to ensure she wasn't facing his way when he spoke, so in the fractions of seconds he'd have to move as she turned, he could see from which direction she'd be aiming, and, with his keen nightvision, be able to track her eyes to see where she'd be aiming for. Decades ago, he would have foolishly called out from in front of her. Too many close calls with silver bullets had served as excellent teachers.</em>
