Just as Otis mentions the last one coming, she turns right around alongside him... although the rats were way ahead of them, covering the man in seconds. Some part of her felt a twinge of annoyance. Another, jealousy.
Tumblr media
The Fixer exhales slowly, twirling her bat to fling the excess gore off it and wielding it at her side. She then starts to... slowly turn back around, and begin walking back towards one of the bodies.
Margaret wasn't... wholly there. Not quite. Something drives her to grab the arm of one of the bodies, plant a firm foot on their backside, and begin pulling. Frighteningly... it takes very little effort for her to tear it off. But she held it there in her hand, gazing down at it, as if it were the best-looking piece of cutlet she'd just reaped from this carcass. A juicy, tender slice of cutlet-
Tumblr media
Otis knew this had to be quick. The four had to be taken out ASAP to try and keep them from calling for help (even if the sounds of fighting might call others in anyway), and quick enough that, hopefully, no damaging shots could get off. 
Just like that two are taken out with a third in immediate mortal danger as Margaret goes in swinging. She was frighteningly efficient at this, and that left Otis to deal with the rat hater. Under any other circumstances he'd delight in letting his rats swarm the man and rip out his throat–
But he was already making too much noise at the sight of the horde coming down the hall. Otis swung hard, putting the sharp hook of his staff through his throat instead. He choked on his own blood for a few seconds, red spurting from the gash in his neck; he finally went quiet when he hit his knees and then the floor. 
“-- one more coming,” he hissed, whipping around to face the end of the corridor they'd just come from… but his rats were already ahead of them, climbing and biting at the terrified man, going for the throat just like Otis had.

Ringing fills her ears as she grits her teeth, bearing against the pain. Otis was right by Margaret's side, tending to the wound in her shoulder as best he could. He didn't need to do that, truly. Margaret was fully capable of healing this up in minutes, little did he know. Though as of right now, her blood flowed freely.
The Fixer could hear the growing cacophony of frenzied rats coming to their rescue, likely filing in droves to distract and attack these armed men, considering she could just barely make out the alarmed shouts of goons over the white noise. Everything sounded so far away and unclear, the rats, the men, the rounds of shots going off behind them, as if her head were being held underwater.
Unfortunately, with the need to recover came the attention of something much far more sinister surfacing from the back of her mind; grinning, leering, eyeing the sacks of meat surrounding her.
Margaret takes shallow and painfully raspy breaths amid the suffocating fluid building in her airways. She felt consciousness threatening to fade, as though something were creeping up to take her hands from the wheel. "Knock it off..!" The fixer demanded internally. "Get back... Jus' fuck off already!" She knew the damn thing could hear her, yet... it was ever so inclined to ignore her request. Its hunger had yet to be sated today, and there was plenty of meat to go around.
This was turning bad. Otis was close—way too close, and she was losing control fast.
Tumblr media
"Otis..." Margaret croaked, attempting to push the rogue away from herself with the one usable arm she had.
@smilingmxsk || cont.
Too little too late.
Blood started to seep between Otis's fingers as he pressed down on the wound in her shoulder,  trying to keep his head down and out of sight. A chill came over him as he watched her lift her mask to spit a clot of blood. This really wasn't looking good, and they weren't going anywhere with how they were pinned–
No. Buy time. Buy time, he could definitely do that.
He drew a deep breath and focused, still trying to keep pressure on her injuries. Like ink spilling across paper, black blotted out the green and white of his eyes. The background sounds of the city were slowly drowned out by a growing cacophony of screeches and gnashing teeth. Another moment and dozens of furry bodies were bolting around them, racing across the wet concrete to the gunmen.
He was going to lose a few to their weapons, but this was their only option.

"Yeah. So much better." That still didn't rule her out if their relationship ever went sour.
She now looked over towards the dog, and... well, he was cute to a degree... now that he wasn't voraciously feasting on a person, of course. He was all floppy and puppy-like. Like a normal dog should be. That's still the part that gets to her.
"...If it means he'll prolly think less about eatin' me."
Margaret begins to shuffle her way towards the canine in question. She would have preferred if the dog had not been looking in her direction as she approached, but there was no way to change that. So she kneels down to the dog and... gives him a quick head rub.
"Yer aight. I guess." It's not a statement meant to be vindictive; this is just completely out of her comfort zone. So, to make things less awkward, she changes the subject somewhat!
"...How'd you get 'em? Y'know, all three ov' em? I don' remember any breeders 'round here dishin' out man-eatin' dogs."
"Well, you are here now." She finally stood up after she was done tidying him up, snapping the handkerchief as it burst into flames and disappeared into thin air. Really, she didn't understand what the big deal was. Didn't she also spend a lot of time around death? The strong eating the weak just another part of that cycle, that she thought it was perfectly natural.
Well, she did have some bias when it came to dogs. Her dogs more than anything else, feeling Phyrro cozy up next to her leg as she pet his head.
"Mm. That makes sense. Humans are hardly any good at identifying what's right in front of their faces." She shrugged, glancing between Phyrro and Marg, noticing how increasingly uncomfortable she was getting. Was she really that afraid of him? On one hand, it was understandable; but she did say that her hellhounds were trained and would never attack unprovoked. Besides, after he had his dinner he was just a big softie made of muscle, ready to take a nap on her lap once she sat down.
Tumblr media
"... You know, you can pet him. They're all very sweet once you get to know them. They only eat the humans that I kill for their souls, if that makes it any better."

WHAT IS MY MUSE AFRAID OF?
In the list below, bold all the fears your muse currently has, italicize all the fears they've worked through or grown out of, and answer the questions below.
Tumblr media
COMMON FEARS & PHOBIAS:
The dark l Small spaces l Suffocation l Water l Thunderstorms l Dogs l Snakes l Spiders l Insects l Clowns l Blood l Dentists l Hospitals l Needles l Germs l Heights l Fire l Insects l Public speaking l Large crowds l Meeting new people l Being alone l Being touched l Failure l Imperfection l Societal rejection l Physical intimacy l Emotional intimacy l Being abandoned l Being forgotten
What other fears do they have? Having her freedoms taken and becoming any more inhuman than she already is.
Why do they have these fears? Margaret likes being tethered to no-one. Her job is basically "on-call" so she can accept and decline as often as she wants with almost full reign over how she approaches a job. Taking away that freedom and autonomy would devastate her. The other one is the idle fear of being the host of a demon. She's already had some physical alterations to her appearance and she's not certain how much worse she could get... but it would make even getting jobs a lot more difficult.
Have they ever tried to work through or confront these fears? How did it go? That's a big fat no. Margaret would sooner die than be stripped of her freedoms, and solving her demon issue as it stands would either result in her death or someone else. She hasn't figured out how to assure any of this, so she's free floating and lashing out anytime she feels threatened.

Tumblr media
Margaret’s mask appears like any other plastic mask. It can chip, break, be cut, etc., though at Margaret’s expense.
Punching the mask is like punching her face, however, if someone were to take off the mask and smash it, it would break apart like a normal plastic mask. The problem is this results in Shade shrieking in excruciating pain, which, in this case, only Margaret can hear. This shrieking is extremely painful and ear-piercing, so much so that if nothing is done quick enough to apprehend her, it will literally drive Margaret mad and into a fit of unbridled rage. Whether she grabs the nearest object/person and uses it/them as a weapon or opts to tear out someone’s throat is unpredictable. It’s highly advised to incapacitate her before she reaches this point.
If there is nothing left to kill nearby, then Margaret will resort to sending herself into unconsciousness by bashing her head against the nearest and hardest obstruction in order to cease the shrieking herself.
The mask, however, will eventually recover itself after a time and reappear on her face or nearby.

[Pushing] The sender forcefully pushes the receiver to the ground as a bullet whizzes past.
Taking the Bullet starters
She barely had time to register what had just happened. She had thought she had gotten them all, these men who were a part of some underground group looking to usurp territory and disrupt the peace. Of course, there weren't that many of them. They were scouts and guards standing over a piece of territory so that no Streetrats would take it. However, as they included civilians in their line of fire, Margaret felt that all bets were off. She didn't care about petty turf war squabbles so long as they didn't put her at risk. And if they were targeting ordinary civilians, then that meant that she was plenty at risk. So she rolled in to take care of it. Unknowingly, the Fixer had a certain little friend tag along unprompted. Likely bored with whatever else they were up to.
Little did Margaret know, when she did put the beat down on these lackeys, that there was one more aiming from above out of her line of sight. She was lucky that Byan did tag along, acting as her blind spot before unsubtly pushing her out of the line of shot. She twisted around only to land her ass, at first eyeing Byan up and down in shock, then pulling the revolver from the holster to take aim and fire the sharpshooter right between the eyes. Just seconds before he could load another round. Finally, Margaret let out a sigh.
Tumblr media
"...We're gonna hafta talk about you followin' me."

"Get down!"
Taking the Bullet starters
"Shit—!"
Her reaction time is late. These goons, whoever they belonged to, were already firing off suppressing rounds in their direction. Somewhere along the way, she and Otis had stumbled onto some hostile territory. It only took a few moments for someone to sniff them out and show them the way out. And by 'way out', we mean death.
Margaret caught a round to the shoulder and two to her backside before she could find cover quick enough. She felt blood welling up in her esophagus. Thaat was probably a punctured lung.
"F... fuck..." Margaret gasped. She had to pull up her mask to hack up what blood was trying to clot and clog her airways. This wasn't looking good.
Tumblr media
"Otis... y' gotta buy us some t...time. We ain't... makin' it through dat."
Hopefully they could get out before something decided it wanted bodies.

❝ what did they do to you? ❞
𝐐𝐔𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐓𝐒
Margaret could have answered the question as simply and bluntly as usual. 'They shot me up full of holes! What's it look like t' you?' She could have said. 'They tried body slammin' me against th' wall so I wouldn't gouge their eyes out' Was another. Even if the bullet wounds and bruises were apparent on her body... Margaret felt that Barton was asking about something else.
Maybe it had to do with the furious state he found her in. Panting, snarling, hands bloodied and shaking, those holes in her mask twinkling with an underlying fury. They'd sent a hit out on her. She'd made a name for herself, killing as many StreetRats as she did, and they wanted to put an end to it. To make her an example, show everyone what happened when you went killing someone's boys willy-nilly. Fifteen of them. They tried, they made their marks, and they failed. Of course, normal Margaret would have died a long time ago. And if she made it this far? She would have died pitifully, outnumbered easily. Even today, as she was now, she was outnumbered, although when you were a host of something nasty and unrelenting... it changed the playing field by quite a lot.
By the time Margaret woke again, she was greeted by this man. And now they were here. So now came the time to try to explain why she appeared so feral before passing out and why none of those bulletholes stuck around after twenty minutes, sealing shut on their own, who made her this way... Why she wore that damned mask.
Tumblr media
"...
I dunno."
A half lie, yet a vague truth. She knew what they did to her. Those people wearing those horrific masks. But she had no idea of what they had set out to make her into. She didn't know what she would become by the end of this.
Either way, it was the only answer she could muster at the moment. She was tired.

Taking the Bullet starters
"Look out!" "No!" "Get down!" "I won't let anything happen to you." "I'm not losing you." "You're not dying on my watch." "I can't lose you." "I'll take the hit." "It's gonna be okay." "I've got you." "Please, don't leave me." "Stay with me!" "I love you too much to let this happen." "You mean everything to me." "I can't imagine my life without you." "You're my whole world." "I'd do anything to protect you." "Don't worry, I'll be fine..." "Hold on, help is coming!" "I'll never forgive myself if I lose you."
[Diving] The sender dives in front of the receiver just as a bullet is fired, taking the hit. [Pushing] The sender forcefully pushes the receiver to the ground as a bullet whizzes past.

❝ I can't help it, I'm just too hot. ❞
❝ Was I supposed to NOT be mean? ❞
❝ I am what the boomers like to call a "delinquent". ❞
❝ Just think before you say anything, "would I say this to [name] for fun", and if the answer is yes, do not say that shit to her. ❞
❝ Aw, did that hurt your little feelings? ❞
❝ Oh dear god, what torture are you going to put me through now? ❞

❝ I actually liked the idea that we could maybe be friends and move past everything, but you're always going to think the worst of me. ❞
❝ I guess I did ruin everything, didn't I? ❞
❝ I needed to win to prove to myself that I could do it. ❞
❝ No no, this one is actually a good idea! ❞
❝ See, this is why you're perfect for each other. ❞

❝ Want me to make mean faces at them? ❞
❝ There is something and I need you for impulse control. Or you can enable me, that's cool too. ❞
