What a nice afternoon for a walk home. Rakka walked briskly down one of the downtown streets, trying to get back to the Dians household following a busy morning of looking up some information in the library. She'd cut though the streets and ended up going down an alleyway. It wasn't the best shortcut, or the first one she'd choose, but it would get her back to the Dians house faster. As she got farther in though, she found her shortcut was blocked by a man, standing in her way.

"....Uh..." Rakka stopped, confused. There weren't usually people here, why was someone here now? Rather than confront them, she decided to turn around and leave. The way, she found to her shock, was blocked by a few more men, each of them slowly advancing into the alleyway towards her. Confusion slowly mixed with fear, and Rakka backed away from them. "Ah.... what... who are you...?"

No reply. They just continued to advance.

Fear turned to panic, and Rakka continued to back away. "What do you want!?"

"To deliver a message." The man that had originally blocked her way replied, he too advanced on her, all of them trying to prevent Rakka from escaping. She looked around frantically, searching for a way out. "Now, this can be easy, or it can be hard."

There was little doubt in Rakka's mind that these were members of the mafia she'd heard about, the ones that attacked Expresso Yourself, And Rakka wasn't going to stick around and find out why they wanted to talk to her. She fled, trying to run around the three men, but one of them managed to grab her by her coat. They struggled briefly, but the thug won out and yanked Rakka back, losing her coat in the process and exposing her wings.

"So she is one of them." One of the men remarked, eyeing Rakka's wings. They stayed away for the moment, hesitant in case she had any powers, but they were still getting closer to her. Panic overtook Rakka, and she grabbed her magic staff, holding it out in front of her. "Get away from me!"

She opened fire, sparks of electricity and sounds of fighting erupting from within the alley.

It scared Raye a bit too. Not that she figured she'd really lose any sleep over that guy being dead but how far she'd almost gone. That anger was still simmering but she was at least in control now. In the end, while Rakka being in danger and pain had been what pushed her there, it had also been her voice that yanked Raye back from doing something drastic.

Her hand closed around Rakka's then she blinked in surprise when the winged girl suddenly closed in for a hug instead.

"H... hey." She hesitated when she felt Rakka crying against her and slowly wrapped her free arm around her shoulders, mindful of her wings. "Come on, save the waterworks, okay? We still have to get outta here."

It wasn't that she could blame her much for it. Rakka had been hurt worse and it was pretty obvious that Rakka wasn't much of a fighter... Raye would be surprised if Rakka had ever thrown a punch in her life. But this just wasn't the time, with a bunch of knocked out thugs around them. They had to go.

"Yeah." She gave Rakka a small smile, squeezing her hand before putting her Scissor away and after a thought dropping an arm around her shoulders again to lead her out of the alley.

She only looked back at the last guy one time to spit at him over her shoulder.
