Abigail Miller|Abi|19|Thanagarian|Mentions: Open (Not sure if you want to do headers or not, I'm fine with either)

Abi had become an expert at steering the Javelin, a small sleek air ship used for both interstellar and local travel. She was extremely skilled at driving with one hand as she often stopped for food along the way, usually at the local coffee shop to buy a hot chocolate and ham, egg, and cheese on a croissant. Said sandwich was now clutched in her hand as she flew to the location of a water main break that left a few people stranded. Rescue units had yet to arrive. Abi put the steaming drink in the cup holder and crammed the rest of the sandwich in her mouth before skillfully landing the ship and activating its cloaking mechanism. She turned it off and glided out, surveying the scene from the air before diving down. She pulled a small child and a teenager into her arms and flew across the swirling water, placing them on the pavement on the other side.

She repeated the process with the last three people until they were all safely on the sidewalk. That was when she saw the ice cream store. She flapped her wings, rising slowly in the air until she was about twenty feet up. With a wailing of sirens the crews arrived and Abi watched as the rescued people were loaded into ambulances. She landed in front of the parlor and opened the door to the jingling of bells. She greeted the store owner and purchased a large chocolate ice cream with rainbow sprinkles in a waffle cone. She paid, then went to sit outside. The first thing Abi noticed was a rather large building towering over the rest. She peered up at the very top from behind her mask, glinting in the sun. She shrugged and returned to her ice cream, now diminished to half the original size.
(Whew, that's a lot. Got a little carried away there...)

(im awful with keeping up with headers, so i'd prefer not to, if thats okay with you? also, the hq is right by the ice cream shop, of course, lmao)

Dominic stood on one of the higher floors of the building, said floor being pretty much entirely his, a penthouse, really, and he stood looking out over the city, waiting patiently for someone to come get him, and tell him what his assignment was for today, what he'd destroy, or whatever the case may be. It took a few minutes, but one of his father's guards came and told him eventually. This time, it was destroying the headquarters of a new, up-and-coming hero, that Dom's father wanted to strike out at them, before they struck at him. Especially because of how close their hq was. Dom simply nodded, and walked away wordlessly, quickly changing into his combat suit.

He got into a waiting armored car, leaving through the building's garage. Really, the car wasn't needed, because their target was right down the street, but hey, his father had expensive things, and he liked showing them off, the car was not an exceptions. Once the car stopped, Dom got out, and the car was quick to drive off, the driver making sure they weren't there once the fighting started. Dominic stood there for a moment, gazing up at the relatively unimpressive building before him, then stepping up the door, which was heavily locked, of course. But, he could definitely get through, in his dragon form, so, he was quick to transform, quickly becoming a hulking, bipedal dragon, and he could hear a few people, that had seem him, start running away. He went and smashed the door in, immediately met by the sounds of gunfire and such, as he went in, and the fighting started.

(this is really all over the place lmao)

Abi had just finished her ice cream when an armored car drove past. She wondered who owned it, she didn't see cars like that all the time. She dumped the wrapper from the cone in the trash and was just walking towards the ship when she heard gun fire. Grabbing her axe she got a running start, then took to the sky, huge wings beating. The origin of the sounds appeared to be an unimpressive, average looking building but the windows were shattered from the flying bullets. Abi spun he axe around so the blade was in front of her face and flew in with a traditional Thanagarian battle yell.

Bullets bounced off her axe and armor as she flew but one hit her wing and she dropped from the air. The atmosphere was smokey and dank, and dark. Abi rammed her elbow into one man's nose when he came too close and when one grabbed her from behind she threw her head back, hearing his skull crack against her helmet.

Dom tore and smashed through anyone unlucky enough to be in his way. Plenty of their bullets got him, but it hardly seemed to bother him, none hit him in his particularly weak points, and most of the gunfire missed him, anyways, probably because the gunmen were starting to panic just a bit. Dom had that sort of effect on people. Not to mention his excellent agility in this form, if nothing else, he could dodge melee attacks very easily, but nobody, right now, dared to get close enough to try something like that. But, that could change.

Dominic charged at a group of gunmen, noting that some panicked, and turned to run, but they could get away quick enough. Besides, Dom's father didn't like leaving survivors, and especially didn't like anyone escaping. He tore into the group, attacking mostly with his claws, but he bit at anyone he could, too, hearing the crunch of bones between his jaws when he managed to snag someone's limb, or when he grabbed someone by the chest, crushing his ribs easily. Dom moved on, and growled softly, at the sight of armor glinting slightly in the dark atmosphere. He approached the source, somewhat warily, assuming this was not an ordinary grunt like the rest of the people in the fight. His main target hadn't even shown up, from what he could tell.

As he got closer and closer, he could see the girl clearly. Dom could've sworn he'd seen a picture of her before, in one of the files his father kept on just about every hero and/or villain out there. Either way, she looked to be a hero, based on her outfit and such, so he was pretty much obligated to take her down, too. Dominic made sure that she could see him, and any nearby gunmen could, too, before letting out a loud, guttural sort of roar, his way of challenging her, it seemed.

Abi held her own easily, grabbing a man's head and slamming it into her knee, then when someone grabbed her around her waist she rammed her elbow into his gut with both hands. He fell back with a groan and Abi spun just in time to make a deep wound on a man's forehead with her axe. The cut began spurting blood. A man punched Abi square in the nose and she felt the warm trickle of blood run down her face. "Ooh, you're gonna pay for that!" She threatened, whacking his head with both hands intertwined into a single fist. He crumpled to the floor and she turned her attention to the next man, someone going for her wings with a knife. In a single fluid motion she brought the butt of her axe down on the base of his neck and he collapsed. She kicked him off her foot and turned when she heard a roar. She could make out a large shape through the smoke but not much else. "What the heck?" She asked herself. The men around her looked pale with fright as they stared at something rising from the haze. A dragon. She spread out her wings when it seemed to challenge her to look bigger, even though blood was seeping through a bullet wound and staining the feathers within a three inch radius crimson with blood. She held her axe before her, the head facing the creature. If it was magic the Nth metal may be able to undo the spell, but if the dragon was natural, well then Abi would be pretty much dead.

Dom stared rather blankly at her, as she spread her wings to try and look bigger, or try and threaten him. He wasn't too sure which, but either way, he was not intimidated. Hell, he could easily rip those wings of hers off, if he wanted to, but with the noticeable wound, he knew she couldn't fly, to evade him. Though, he was a pretty good jumper and climber, so he could still probably chase her, if she could still fly. Dom's gaze briefly wandered to the gunmen around them, looking quite afraid of him, so he didn't think they'd interfere, but he had no problem killing them if they tried fighting again. After a few seconds of quietly staring, he got closer to the girl, seeming to scoff at her holding out her axe, not intimidated in the slightest by it. Dom then started circling around her, looking for any weak points that he could go for, and/or waiting for her to strike first.

Abi kept her eyes glued on the dragon as it began to circle her like a predator circling prey. She remained stationary, just turning in place to keep her eye on the thing. Her heart was racing, she'd never fought a dragon before. She wiped the blood off her nose with her bare arm with a sniff and ran her tongue across her parched lips. Sweat was beading on her brow beneath her mask but she ignored it, attempting to locate a weak spot on her enemy. After much decision she decided to go for the eyes. "Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" She yelled as she swung her axe. She always used the traditional Thanagarian battle cry.

Dominic couldn't exactly find any weak spots on her armor or anything, partly because of the atmosphere of the building, and partly because her weak points just might be her wings. Well, those weren't a problem anymore, at least. When she went for him, her battle cry, nor her swinging his axe scared him much, and he stood his ground. Though, because she was aiming for his head, and that would probably wound him pretty badly, he still had to dodge it in some way. Instead of taking the blow to the head, he side-stepped slightly, so she'd hopefully just strike at his side. Sure, it'd hurt, but he could handle it. Once she did get close enough, though, and his head was out of the axe's way, in a very fast motion, he snapped his jaws shut on one of her wings, just to be sure she could not fly away.

When her axe failed to find its mark, rather bouncing off hard scales Abi reached for something to grab on to so she could continue her assault from the creature's back. However, her leap was stopped when something clamped onto her wing. She gave a surprised cry before falling back to dangle almost helplessly, prisoner to the dragon's jaws. However, she could still annoy the dragon from below. "Hey ugly!" She called. "Ever heard of a dentist? Or better yet, a tooth brush? Might help with the breath." She crossed her arms as she dangled, she could fight, but that would only waste energy.

Dominic growled softly at her comment, slightly annoyed by it. It wasn't like he could really brush his teeth in this form, anyways. The claws would make it difficult. He walked closer to one of the walls, then he grabbed ahold of her, by her throat, with a clawed hand, said claws of course digging slightly into any exposed skin. He released her wing, just holding her up for a moment, before simply smashing her into the wall, leaving a dent in the wall, too. Then Dom released her, if she got up, he would definitely hurt her worse, but didn't have the intention to kill her right now, maybe if she really angered him, or something, he'd kill her. But for now, she wasn't his main concern.

Abi grinned at his reaction, she was very good at annoying people... and apparently dragons. When he released her wing she took that moment to roll her shoulders. The wing reacted as it should, at least it wasn't broken. He grabbed her by the throat and she smiled wickedly, her words strained. "C'mon Scales. I can take it, can you?" Then he smashed her into the wall. She saw stars as she felt a headache explode to life and pound around in her head. With a groan she fell to the ground, feigning unconsciousness while she checked herself for injuries. To her relief they seemed minor, just a splitting headache and a few cracked ribs. She reached out for her axe with bloody fingers and held it against her chest, feeling the Nth metal begin to heal her. As she waited, her chest slowly rising and falling in time to her breathing she plotted out her next move.

Dom watched her for a moment, deciding he'd knocked her unconscious, then he turned away, walking a few feet forward. His original target, he also decided, either had never been here, or had left in all the commotion, which did not bode well for him. He could lie to his father, sure, and say he slaughtered the target, but his father would demand proof, and he'd get it, any way he could. It might be worth a try, but Dom really didn't want to deal with his father scolding him or anything. So, he'd just explain what happened.

He let out another roar, scaring off any remaining gunmen, just hoping they wouldn't call for backup. Dom then changed back to his human form, taking a moment to regain his balance, because the transformation often left him slightly off balance, sometimes even a bit dizzy. He waited a moment, checking for any wounds he might have, but he hadn't gotten anything too serious. Dom took his phone out from one of the pockets on the utility belt he had, and dialed up his father, who picked up right away, wanting to hear how it'd gone.

"That target wasn't here, or they left before I could find them. I failed." He told him simply, then abruptly hung up, not wanting to get into an argument with him. Dom's father did try calling him back, but he ignored it, putting his phone away again. He decided he'd look for any kind of information the building, or any dead gunmen, had, and stepped over to one of the corpses, seeming to ignore the hero, not caring if she was dead, wounded, unconscious, or giving herself a silent motivational speech, to encourage herself to get back up and fight.

Abi took a deep breath and the pain was gone. She climbed to her knees, eyeing the dragon warily as she plotted her next move. When it roared again everyone fled and she watched as the dragon shrunk down to a person, a teenage boy to be exact. Climbing to her feet Abi listened as he called someone and heard the one sided conversation. He must be working for someone, he'd failed. Abi knew the feeling, even a hero had ups and downs. "I was thrown against a wall by a kid?" She gasped in a melodramatic voice. She swung her axe and put it back in its holder, attaching it to the belt that hung at her hips with a click. The dried blood caked the skin underneath her nose and the sweat beneath her mask was starting to run into her eyes. "Better hope those wings heal fast, or you'll be paying my medical bills."

Dominic noticed her getting up eventually, but still, he didn't seem to care. She didn't try attacking him immediately, so he didn't bother with her. He scoffed at her gasp, slightly annoyed. "I could've done more than throw you against a wall, those claws of mine are awfully sharp, and awfully good at tearing flesh." He said, somewhat to himself, in a threatening tone. He glanced at her, before kicking the corpse he'd been checking to the side, moving on to the next, unsure whether he'd actually find anything of value. Bringing back some kind of information would help him, his father probably wouldn't be as mad if he did. "I am not paying for your medical bills." He told her, rather coldly.

"My axe can do more than just chop your head off, it's an energy mace and can elocute you while I'm cutting your head off." She ran her gloved hand down the mace's head. "The way I see it, it's a win- win." She watched as he moved through the bodies and in the jumble spotted the man who'd been unlucky enough to be whacked with her mace. She also heard his comment about the medical bills. "Get used to it, Kid. Actions have consequences. Now, you can be tried for murder and I've got enough evidence here to nail you to a wall." She leaned against the wall. "You also tried to kill me and appear to be working for a higher power. I spent a month with Batman, I know how to gather evidence. You can tell me all about or I can reserve a jail cell for you. What'll it be?"
