Knight of the Peace leaned back, the rock coated fist swinging in front of her face, before lunging forward and stabbing her right hands claws into the
Outcasts shoulder. As he screamed, she pulled her claws out and drove her foot into his knee, sending him down with a loud crunch. She turned, trying to find
the rest of this little group, and saw Purrfect Shadow duck under a baseball bat, diving past the mutant ganger in the process, the turn and rake the mans back
with her claws. As he fell, moaning and whimpering, the other catgirl grinned and gave Robin a thumbs up.
Robin returned the grin, even as her claws slid back into her hands and up into her forearms (Being wiped clean of blood and gore on the way by padding in her
gauntlets). She'd quickly found that she liked Purrfect Shadow, who gladly answered to any variation of her name, be it Ann, or Angela, or Angie as Robin
had settled on. She was lively, friendly, and more then willing to offer advice on life with a tail and fur, after learning how new Robin was to the catgirl
life. So far, Robin hadn't let slip it wasn't just the 'cat' part she was getting used to, thanks to concern over how Angie might react.
She wasn't really sure why Angies opinion was so important to her, but she didn't feel like it was a problem right now. Here was a person that
didn't know anything about Robins problems and utterly terrible week, and it meant the Knight was off on a fun adventure, fighting evil (even if it was
just Frostfire), and it felt pretty good actually. An interesting variation on time alone.
Now, if she could just figure out what it was about Angie that felt so damn familiar... She paused and wrinkled her nose, looking down at the Brick she'd
taken down. "Did you just... ugh!" she declared, making a disgusted face and backing away from the figure in the fetal position. Angie had a similar
expression.
"She didn't hurt you that badly!" Shadow declared. "That's no reason to go and... ew." She looked up at Robin. "Humans are
disgusting."
"I'm starting to agree with you," she replied, tagging the Outcast with an arrest beacon before she headed for the hallway. "Crapping your
pants... no wonder the Outcasts never amount to anything." She shook her head. "I could get used to the smells, I guess. Well, the normal smells.
That's still just sad."
Angie nodded in agreement as they walked around a corner, then smiled as the tendrils of darkness around her caught a bullet. "They're not that smart,
are they?" she asked Robin was the Outcast with the revolver stared.
"Well, that goes without saying," Robin replied, breaking into a run. The rather new recruit got another shot off, but it merely bounced off her
armor before she hit him with a flying tackle that sent them rolling across the ground and ended with her lunging at another ganger, and him with painful
crippling cuts to his thighs and biceps.
Purrfect Shadow was right behind her, black mist trailing behind her as she disarmed another Outcast, then cut into his chest. Between them, the room was
cleared in moments. "Having fun?" she smiled as Robin tagged the Outcasts.
Knight of the Peace actually giggled at that. "Oh yes... I could really get to like these," she admitted, popping her claws out again. "I mean,
before the accident, I was a blaster, but now I need... I need to..." She paused, biting her lip slightly. "I'm not sure how to explain it."
"You need to be up close and personal?" Angie smiled. "Flesh against flesh, the smell of sweat, blood and fear as you hunt?" Robin gave her
a surprised look, then nodded. "Not uncommon in catgirls. You are a predator now," she pointed out with a grin. The blonde catgirl blinked, watching
her friend continue on. Then she shook her head, smiled, and followed.

"Well, I'm definitely more agile," Robin said, idly doing a handstand on a railing. A moment later, a pair of Outcasts charged out of a side room
below them, and Knight of the Peace flipped off, landing in front of them and punching her claws through one mans thighs, before ripping them out and lunging
at the other Outcast. Angie was right behind her, tearing into a second pair of Outcasts to run in. "I mean, I can put my foot behind my head now.
That's pretty damn impressive."
Angie laughed. "Well, I'll admit I'm biased - been like this since the day I was born, after all - but yeah, I think there's a lot of
benefits..." Her voice trailed off at the sound of heavy footsteps, as a massive Brick and his goons stomped around a corner and paused at the sight of
them.
"Well... two little pussys," he snickered, thumping his stone-coated fist against the wall. "I reckon we could have some fun with 'em,
'ey guys?"
Angie looked at him, then back at Robin. "Is he supposed to be scaring us?" she asked.
"Yeah, he's trying," Robin replied with a laugh. "He likes to think he's the big man around here... please," she snorted.
"Hey!" he growled.
"Keystone, come on," Robin said, rolling her eyes. "Every single time Frosty breaks out of prison and low level heroes come to send him back,
you're there as his loyal bodyguard. And every single time, you get your butt kicked."
"Well, aren't ya a brave one," Keystone growled, more rocks forming around his fists. "Put 'em on the ground!" he ordered,
charging. Angie summoned a dark mist around her that absorbed a Shockers lightning, even as Robin ducked under Keystones punch and started carving off slices
of rock.
Angie caught a firemans ax and jabbed her claws into the gangers hands, then kicked out his feet from under him. A baseball bat bounced off the dark energies
around her, sending a smaller shockwave into her body. Wincing, she nailed the goon with an elbow to the face, then looked for another target.
She turned at just the right moment to see Keystone clip Robin with a blow to the shoulder. Even that was enough to throw her across the room, although she
rolled with the landing and was on her feet in moments, claws out, fangs bared. For his part, the Outcast lieutenant paused, looking her over.
"... Knight of the Peace," he said slowly, a smirk appearing on his face. "Damn! I heard stories the Family got to ya with that freaky new drug
they've got... Who'd have thought you'd be such a babe!"
"Key, do you really want to finish that train of thought?" Knight said in a quiet, dangerous tone.
"What're ya gonna do, girly?" Keystone taunted. "I mean, if you cry about it, you'll mess up yer makeup!" he laughed. "The big
tough guy, turned into a prime piece of tits and ass." The other Outcasts laughed in response to that.
"With claws that cut through your rock easily enough," the catgirl quipped, then charged. The shockers lightning crackled off her body armor in the
brief time he had to fire before Purrfect Shadow pounced on him, and then Knight had reached Keystone. Leaping over his swing, she slashed at his bicep on the
way past, then landed behind him, grabbed him, kicked his feet out, and guided his drop into a wall. He made a pained yelp, then noticed a trio of sharp points
against his throat, and stopped moving.
"I'm gonna tell people all about your little sex change, you fag," he said,
"Sure, and be sure to add that I still sent you to the Zig again," Knight smirked, handcuffing him. "Big tough Outcast can't even handle
someone that's been a catgirl for less then a week," she added, tapping the handcuff controls and teleporting him to the Zig. She glanced over at
where Angie was doing the same to the rest of the group and frowned. "Um... yeah."
"... Would it help if I said I already knew?" Angie asked after the last Outcast was teleported away.
Robin blinked. "Really?" she replied, tail twitching slightly.
"When someone makes something like Yarnball, catgirls listen to the news," the other girl admitted, scratching at her ear nervously. "I... just
didn't want to worry you," she added. "You know, make you worried I'd freak out about it, treat you weird..."
The blonde catgirl looked at her for a long moment, ears twitching slightly, before she smiled and pulled Angie into a brief hug. "Thanks," she said
with a grin. "I think I needed it. Now then... let's go put Frosty back in his cell."
Following her, Angie grinned. "That said, I do kinda have a few questions."
"You're a curious one," she said.
"Comes with the ears and tail. Didn't you notice?"
"...Now that you mention it..."

Robin returned the grin, even as her claws slid back into her hands and up into her forearms (Being wiped clean of blood and gore on the way by padding in her
gauntlets). She'd quickly found that she liked Purrfect Shadow, who gladly answered to any variation of her name, be it Ann, or Angela, or Angie as Robin
