Tuesday wasted no time, and lunged blindly out of the way when she heard Alexei. She hit the ground, and slunk out of the way, she was becoming increasingly frustrated with this masked menace.
She stood back up, and took aim again, this time firing twice, once at the assailants chest and once at his head.

Markus writhed as three shots from Alexei slammed into him, another from Tuesday. Fortunately, the shot to his head bounced harmlessly off the metal of his mask, but it made little difference. Markus fell forward, twitching ever so slightly, laying on his face. Both his tonfa blades bounced and slid a few feet across the floor.

Maeve enters the warehouse from the front, carefully making her way through it. She hears shouts and shouts from the other side of the warehouse and begins to navigate through the crates, figuring that woman must've dissappeared and mask guy was on the other side of the warehouse.

A heavily tattooed woman entered the warehouse from Lena's side. She moved silently after the dark haired woman, knowing she could probably just toss a blade right at her and take her out. But she didn't. When the woman begun to make her way toward the shots, she simply followed her.
Seeing Markus on the ground, she mentally cursed. The most obvious route would be to sneak back off, but she couldn't just leave Markus there. Even if he probably would leave her if their positions were switched, she couldn't force herself to.
She slipped her un-iced blade back into the folds of her clothes before dropping behind Markus's fallen body. If she were stronger, she could just pick his body up and flee. Damned weak genetics...
She dropped the iced blade onto the ground, standing slowly as her eyes stared blankly at the other two. She would not be able to fight them off to give her a break to drag Markus's body out, especially when that other woman showed up. "I don't want to fight."

Alexei tenses as he looks at the newcomer, but realizes as the shot loses his potency, and his adrenaline fades, the weapons seems heavier and heavier. He blinks away sweat from his eyes.
"Who are you?" He asks.

Tuesday bends down and picks up the blades, which had bounced in her direction. She hears Maeve approaching, and gives her a slight smile, before looking back to the masked man. Perhaps they should shoot him just once more to be on the safe side? Actually, now that he was bladeless, he was pretty harmless looking, despite the scary armor and gas mask.
The woman she had been talking to approaches, and crouches down next to the man on the ground. She exhales slowly when she says she doesn't want to fight, thats a relief right now.
She looks at Alexei for a moment. "This is the woman who found me outside." She mentions, not caring if its a useless piece of information.

Lena eyes the man, he seemed as if he was coming down from some type of drug- That explained it. Maybe this attempt to save Markus wouldn't be fruitless after all.
"My name is Eva." She states, turning her eyes to Tuesday for a moment. "We met once. We discussed some matters, but you had to go to your cousin's birthday party." A hint of a smile touches Lena's lips.
She looks down at Markus, he was in pretty bad shape. "This was a pretty clever plan." She had to come up with something, something quick. Maybe that guy would pass out? She didn't think her luck was that stupendous.

"Ah. I thought you looked familiar. I'm Tuesday" Tuesday was really terrible when it came to remembering people. She set the man's blades atop of one of the crates behind her, she had no intention of allowing them back into his possession.
She looks at Alexei, who isn't looking well, and frowns. "Maybe you should sit down or go somewhere where you'd be able to rest, Alexei." She says, she still has a few questions for Eva.
She looks back at her. "Perhaps you remember the man that was with me, your friend and another man found us in Genetech, and he was captured. Would you happen to...know anything about that?"

Here was her opportunity. "No, I do not, but... I could find out." This was a dangerous game she was playing. Part of Lena wondered why she was risking this for Markus as she stood. "I will make a deal with you."
She kept a close look on the man because he seemed the most unpredictable out of them all. After all, he'd injected himself with something just to get back here. "If you let me leave with Markus I will recuse your friend."
She had no idea if she could actually recuse him, but she was positive she could find where he was being held. Anything less though, and they may not agree. "It's a fair trade."

Tuesday sighs, and bites down hard on her thumbnail, tasting blood. She looked at her thumb and sees that shes bitten her nail all the way down and now she's broken the skin. Ew.
She thinks about Malak, she does want to accept Eva's deal, which, really is a fair trade, but she doesn't want the masked man coming back after her. "I appreciate your offer, and I can't tell you how tempting it is, but this man has been relentlessly stalking me." She shakes her head, and gestures to the fallen foe. "If he can be revived, he's going to get right back on my tail, isn't he?" She knows it sounds selfish, but she also knows that the man was following her because of her involvement with the rebel newspaper, which Malak was also involved in, the man would also go after Malak the moment he was free. "Come to think of it, he'd be after my friend as well."

Lena glanced down at Markus, biting the inside of her cheeks. "I think I can get him to leave you alone." She says unsurely.
If he was unconscious, she could make up the entire chit chat in some way that made Tuesday innocent. She was glad no one else was openly opposing, though they all seemed rather unwilling.
Her ice blade had begun to melt, water flowing slowly across the floor as if desperate to reach any cracks in the ground.

Tuesday considers Eva for a moment. Does she really trust this woman? She sighs, its not like she has much of a choice, if Eva didn't help Malak, Tuesday didn't know how else she could find him.
"If you can really rescue Malak and get him to leave both of us alone...then, fine, take him." She had no further use for him anyway, she didn't really care if Maeve and Alexei had any objections, they were her friends, but so was Malak, she would do the same to help either of them if they were in his position.

Alexei took a steadying breathe, menacing Eva with his rifle carefully.
"And how exactly are we supposed to trust you? You could be working with the nut on the floor there. You might come back with more friends and hunt Tuesday down."
He neglected to mention his newly found revelation that Markus and also marked his face, and he, too, feared retaliation from the assassin if he recovers.
"Seems to me like for the sake of self preservation, we ought to put you both down. It's pretty tempting."

"I'm pretty sure we can trust her, Alexei." Tuesday states, looking at him. He looked even worst than he did before, and shes concerned about him.
"If Eva wanted to kill me, she had a perfect opportunity to do so...actually she's had two. She could've done away with me when she found me on the side of the building, or when we talked weeks ago."

Lena sighed and shrugged. "You don't, and I have no way to assure you besides my word." She was at a loss as to how to gain their trust. "Tuesday is correct, though. I could've probably killed your tattooed friend, too."
She didn't feel comfortable at all with a rifle aimed at her chest, but she had little choice. "Killing us both would ensure we don't double cross you, since you obviously care not for her friend."
She thought for another moment before speaking. "But if you kill us, they'll just be assured you're against them, and send others after you." Which was the truth.
"If you let us live, you have a chance of being cleared. Say I don't keep my word, then we'll just be after you again, but at least you know him. You know his fighting style, what to expect."
