She's tense walking through the streets of the place that used to be her home. Six years away, and nothing in Central City seemed any different. She'd changed, though. Something dark lingered inside her, gnawing at the walls of her mind, begging to be free.
A stranger bumped her shoulder, and that loathsome force flared to life.
"Watch where you're going lady."
Dabella gritted her teeth, grinding them together like sandpaper on wood. Visibly, the tension in her body rolled into her arms and made her hands tremble. Fingers pressed tight against her palm, she glared at the stranger.
"Eh? What's your problem - you trying to start something?"
"No, I - "
He pushed her, and she stumbled backward. Thunder roared in her chest, dark impulses growing as the storm inside turned fierce. "Kill him." it whispered, "Rip him apart and leave the body for others to see." but that's not what she wanted. That's -
"Just go away." she warned, a hand moving to clutch the side of her head. The stranger refused to listen. He shoved her again, forcing her back and into another person on the sidewalk.
"What if I don't, huh? What are you gonna do about it?"
She didn't answer. Too busy trying to push down the violent urge that began to manifest physically. The subtle hint of horns pushed up from her skull, and her black nails elongated, canines turning to fangs in her mouth.
If no one stepped in, if she couldn't muster the strength to move away - she'd kill him.

Thread PL: 70,000 | Items: ScouterIn a nearby alleyway, Derry was leaning up against a wall, wearing his usual attire along with his black leather jacket as well as a black cap to better hide his pink hair, his scouter sunglasses keeping an eye out for any individuals that stood out from the crowd, or anybody that would recognize him as the president. In his hand was a briefcase he recently acquired from a little deal deeper in the alleyway just moments ago. It was just another one of those deals with Kamae, giving him live test subjects (typically some goons from a rival gang) in exchange for a decent amount of cash. It was a nice little gig, but having the guy as an actual elite on top of that was certainly very beneficial to the gang. Though if Derry were to be honest, he could always use more firepower, especially with Jackie's plans on creating some sort of 'defense force.'
Once he saw that the coast was clear, Derry decided to move into the streets, though he didn't exactly anticipate having somebody shoved into him. He moves back a bit as it appears that he's just come across two people, a young woman and some tall guy getting into a disagreement with each other, though it certainly seems like the tall one is just pushing her more and more. Derry was about to intervene when he notices the horns emerging from her head, revealing that something is very off right here. With a quick scan of his scouter sunglasses, Derry notices that the power level of the man was a measly seven, but the woman? Six thousand.
"Now, what's going on over here?" Derry pipes up from behind the young woman, "If you want to settle things, at least take it to the alleyway." He didn't particularly care for the man's life, but he attempts to get across to the woman that maybe having a little meltdown in front of public eyes might not be for the best. "Who knows? Maybe we can even talk it out like good reasonable adults, am I right?" he continues on, staring right at the man and implying that the comment was directed more towards him.
