Professional

[alisa_lebeau_v3]

It did not take long for Alisa to suddenly be told she was out of a job as a bartender. Not much longer after that, she discovered it was impossible to gain any employment within the city. Hell, even some of her contacts were turning their backs on her. While one would assume she would be stomping her feet and becoming a violent maniac, the opposite happened.

Alisa became more controlled. She was quiet, professional in her dealings as Alistaire's bodyguard and personal driver. She even dressed properly for work (with exception to her mask that hooked into her neuro implants).

It was very unusual to see her so quiet, respectful, and not flying off the rails. It was enough even to shock Reiko and Alistaire. But nothing was said about it, yet.

Instead, Alisa was driving the two to some outing they had planned. She did not ask to come along, and merely acted as a driver and nothing more. A katana was at her side, God forbid if someone planned to attack Reiko or Alistaire.

"Reiko! Don't--- UGH. Does nobody understand letting the help handle things these days?" Alistaire mutters, even as he rolls his wrist, palming a blade as he vanishes from sight, exiting the car after Reiko.

"Reiko, please get back inside the car." Alisa spoke in a rather calm manner, even as she was using the katana's sheath to block various attacks. Her uniform was getting a bit torn up when the attacks were deflected, but she kept going. Her main goal was to tire her attacker out, before going in for the kill.

For the most part, her powers were protecting her quite well. All she had were some minor cuts from the Shinobi's sword.

"I have this. He is not going to damage me too badly."

Perhaps she should have waited to say that, as another Shinobi seemed to appear out of nowhere. He struck her in the back with his sword. This time, it left a bit of a gash. She would not have to change her plans of attack.

"Again, please get back inside the car." She said without a single hint of pain. Alisa moved as fast as her powers would allow. She was a blur for a moment, before standing by Reiko and Alistaire's side, the katana now out and in her hand. Her attackers remain still for a moment, before falling over in agony. She had literally just cut them off at the knees.

"Should I question them as to why they attacked our car, Boss? Or should I let them bleed out like the dogs that they are?" Again, little to no emotion in her voice as she sheathed the katana, then stood up straight. Blood was dripping down her back, but there did not seem to be any worry from her.

Reiko frowned as she watched the pair fall, her first concern was Alisa, whom, she carefully touched her arm stealing some of the wounds, helping the other woman's body heal faster.

"To answer you Alistaire, it's still hard for me to think of her as help when she's a friend. I will try to do better in the future." She carefully wrapped the bracelet/garrote back on her wrist. "Do you need both of them to question? I would rather not have to explain a bloody back.

Alistaire shimmered back into view, seemingly deep in consideration.

"Statistically, they probably each only have the same information to give up... but I don't see the profit in killing more of them than defense deems necessary."

He was willing to show mercy, until bored of it, or proven unwise to do so.

Alisa's tilted her head in a way, that her neck cracked. She would then turn towards the shinobi, kneeling down to their level. They were defeated way too easily. Something was wrong.

"There has to be another one. No one sends rookie shinobi out to make a statement."

Just as she thought, another one jumped down from the building behind them. She grunt in some discomfort, and started to fight back. It was strange, as this one appeared to be stronger than the others.

In her training as an Enforcer, Alisa knew to keep her enemies away from their targets. She had to keep this one away from Alistaire and Reiko. That meant changing their playing field quite literally.

With her powers, Alisa jumped over one blade attack, only to grab on to a fire escape. With a bit of a smirk, she moved quickly up the ladder, back to the top of the roof.

"Time to return de favor."

She thought, as she jumped down with incredible speed. Her cybernetic leg slamming into the shinobi, forcing him down to the ground, and that ground to break under them. This fight was going to continue into the sewers.

Reiko was about to follow Alisa, but remembered her role now. She touched one of the pair, giving him the wounds she had fed off of Alisa instead. "We should get to the party. Less of a chance of someone attacking us there." She bit her lip.

"And if they were supposed to kill us, it would spook their boss with both of us appearing."

Alistaire gave his lover a skeptical look. "We should get to the party because it's a party, and I don't miss such things." He smiles dryly.
