When Abi had the boy pressed against the wall she saw him press something, then drop it and step on it. Something inside told her to pick it up when he was captured. She was no technological expert, but she had her friends. Reaching into her belt the Thanagarian pulled out a pair of handcuffs and unlocked them, holding them out. "Let's go, I'm missing my day off."

(Don't worry, THIS kinda sucks :P)

Dominic quietly glared at her, waiting not-so-patiently for help to arrive, casting glances at wherever he could see, and expecting to hear gunfire or marching. He growled softly, ignoring the handcuffs, tempted to just smack them right out of her hands. Dom's backup finally showed up, a group of ten men or so, who immediately started shooting at Abi.

(idea- so i'm thinking that dom's backup end up distracting abi, enough for him to back up, and transform back. he tries attacking her, but because his attack is sort of desperate, he leaves himself open for attack mid-lunge, and abi manages to get him. sort of panicking, he flees, and abi goes after him, finds him a little ways away, and maybe she gets to see a more timid side of him? and it'd be kinda cute i guess? idk just an idea)

Abi heard the men marching, felt their bullets, and with an annoyed grunt she opened her wings wide, spun around, and, lifting high, dove into the cluster. There were around ten men, give or take, and she was going to bring them all in. Their guns did little to hurt her, they simply stung. A punch here, an axe stab there, whack that guy in the face, stomach jab, leg sweep, wing punch, everything she'd ever learned was now employed, carrying her through the fight.

Dominic grinned slightly to himself, glad to see the distraction was working just fine, though he was sure his men wouldn't last very long against her. He was quick to move away from her, transforming as he did, waiting for just a moment, seeing how his men were faring against her, which, they weren't doing great, of course. He growled softly, briefly considering going and getting more backup, though he figured attacking her while she was distracted was a good idea, so he did. Dom snarled, and suddenly lunged at her, claws outstretched.

Abi was doing a fair job of holding back the gunmen, and having a little too much fun, not realizing that the boy had returned to his dragon form. Stepped over an unconscious man, she had just turned around and whacked another man in the head with the flat side of her axe when she saw the dragon leaping for her, claws outstretched. She couldn't help but be slightly awed at the beast, but it's intention was clear. So she jumped, opened her wings, and dove for the creature. One claw dug a deep furrow in her forearm and she felt the blood run down her arm, but nonetheless she reached for the creature's neck.

(i assume she was reaching out with her axe?? lol)

Dominic felt a small sense of pride, maybe feeling accomplished, when he managed to hurt her, the first real damage he'd done to her in this fight, so he couldn't help but be proud of it. Though, that pride soon faded away to slight panic, as he realized too late that he'd left himself open for attack, and before he knew it, felt her axe cut him. She'd gotten lucky, though, managing to get him under his jaw, where the scales were a little softer, and not well-protected by armor plates, and he could feel and smell the blood that flowed steadily from the wound. Dom recoiled from the attack, once again, seeming to panic, based on what he did next, which, of course, was flee, running as fast as he could, which, in this form, was extremely fast, ending up in a more suburban, calmer and quieter part of the city, glancing around for signs of Abi chasing him.

(Why not! XD)

Abi considered it a small victory when she drew blood, and the when the dragon fled she considered it a slightly larger victory. She turned back and handcuffed several unconscious gunmen to lamp posts and other stationary objects, favoring her left arm, the one the dragon had injured. Then she called the police, giving her location. That done she set off in the direction the dragon had fled, getting a running start, then leaping into the air. She sighed as the cool air flew over the wound, calming it. With powerful strokes of her wings Abi gained altitude quickly, tracking the dragon from the air. True, she couldn't see it, but her gut told her to simply follow the path of destruction in his wake.

Dominic winced slightly, as he tried moving his head at a certain angle, which was rather painful. He even tried looking up, but that hurt, too, and just seemed to make him bleed more. Now, he was really starting to panic, since he wouldn't be able to see the girl, if she was flying above him, and decided to swoop down, maybe finish him off, though she didn't completely seem the type to kill people very much, but he thought she might try killing him, someone who'd caused her a fair amount of trouble recently. He found a narrow, secluded alleyway, which was entirely empty, to sit, and gather his thoughts, try and calm down a little. As Dom walked into it, he transformed back to his human form, partly because it was too narrow for his dragon form, and partly because it was hard to maintain that form, when he was hurt. He lifted a hand to his neck as he sat against one of the walls, trying to suppress the blood flow even a little, but really only succeeded in getting blood all over his hand. She'd definitely got him good, since the wound hadn't healed already, in his dragon form.

(I am SO sorry this is so late, my internet went out on Friday and the guy couldn't come to fix it until Saturday and on Sunday I had a horse show, then school, and just UGH! I am SO sorry!)

Abi cast a winged shadow below her as she flew, her battle axe resting slightly cockeyed in it's holder. People below her looked up as she flew, her birdlike mask creating a very streamlined shape. She soared, rising updrafts and thermals with ease, beating her wings harder when she met up with still air, dead air as she liked to call it. As she glided, rising higher and higher, she saw a boy run into an alley. Whether it was the dragon boy or not a kid running into an empty alley was never good, and call it intuition she flew down to check it out. She landed just outside and as soon as she saw the boy's blood stained hand, then his face she narrowed her eyes. "Pretty dangerous." She began, "To be a human in this state."

Dominic thought over his options. He could go, find a phone, and call his father to send someone to get him, but it wasn't like he could be too inconspicuous, with his wound and all, someone was bound to notice. That was another thing, he could just walk up to someone, and hope they got an ambulance, but that'd be too easy, and surely, the cops, or worse, would find him. He could also try and maintain his dragon form, long enough to run back home, or close enough that one of his father's people would find him. His thoughts were interrupted, by the girl showing up. Dom was silent, staring at her expectantly, and slightly nervously, maybe a little bit of fear showing in his eyes.

(Thank you so much! That's why you're such a perfect role play partner, you understand life!)

Abi could practically see the boy calculating his options. Fear showed slightly in his eyes, but it mostly looked as if he was asking when she was going to kill him. She sighed. "Look, you're going to bleed out if we stay here. I can fly you to my ship, but I only have a few medical supplies there, and I am not a trained EMT." She tucked her axe back into her belt. "And you'll have to stand up for a bit, just so I can hover and pick you up. And if you transform..." She didn't finish her sentence, resting her good arm on her axe head. The arm the dragon had wounded was covered in blood, but the wound itself was clotted, and the injury looked much worse than it felt.

Dominic watched and listened to her carefully, seeming very reluctant about accepting her help. He was sure she'd try and arrest him, and he was sure that once they got to the station, his father would be there again, waiting, disappointedly. Then, he'd go home, his father would have him do his bidding again, and he'd be back fighting Abi again, in some vicious cycle. "I can't transform right now, so you won't have to worry about me doing that.." He said, his voice softer than usual, partially because talking hurt a bit. Dom stood up, with a little bit of difficulty, staring at her.

"Good." She said, glad she wouldn't have to deal with a dragon again. "I fly an average of one hundred to one hundred and fifty feet up, it may get hard to breathe, and if it does just tell me. Also, don't struggle or you will fall." Abi looked at the wall the boy had been leaning against, and calculated a trajectory. Her wings could barely open to their full span, the tips of her longest feathers brushed against them. The wall was about twenty feet high, and since Abi couldn't fly straight up, and often had to get a running start, she would have to take off in plain sight. She wasn't exactly happy about this, but better to get this boy help as quickly as possible.
