Zephyr blinked a few times as the doctor seemed to calm down through looking up at him. Once he judged it safe to ground himself, he gently released the support beam, falling to the floor with a soft impact, landing on one knee before standing up again and dusting himself off. "No, you don't need to apologise. You have feelings. It's not as if you're not allowed to express yourself..." He tilted his head to the side like a lost puppy, watching him as he made his way downwards...
Get out? Quickly? Why? He heard the groaning and looked down at the ruffians who were gaining consciousness. With a startled gasp, he turned back to the doctor, nodding his head. "Sure thing. I guess I'll be seeing you..." With that, he too turned on his heel and headed the opposite direction, up the stairs back to the top of the clock tower.
As soon as Sam ended up at the bottom of his stairs, however, Zephyr dangled himself upside-down to face the Doctor. "Oh, one more thing...my name's Zephyr. What's yours?" But...he went up the stairs? How could he possibly be suspended in midair in front of the doctor if he went upwards? He was still clutching his inpachi doll to his chest while his legs were wrapped around a support beam while he awaited an answer so he could disappear into the night...

"Samuel." the man replied simply as he continued down the stairs. Once he reached the bottom he seemed to re-think his answer and added, "Doctor Samuel." Pronouncing it with care.
"It's been a pleasure, Zephyr...take care of yourself." and with that, he was gone.

"You too, Doctor Samuel. Take care!" And the doctor was gone. The marionette spend a moment to watch after him, then gently let himself down with a soft landing and made his way to the boy who had been hit over the railings. He quickly knelt down beside him and checked his pulse and was rewarded with a faint but constant beat. But he was running out of time, and the ruffians were awakening fast. He quickly pressed his cross dagger against his forehead, making sure not to stab him, and uttered a prayer that the boy would make it through before Zephyr was up the stairs, back to where he started. And with a great leap, he just made a nearby rooftop, having to use one of his strings as a tether to wrap around the chimney so he could pull himself up. From there, he made good his escape and disappeared into the streets of London...
(Exit, Zephyr)

The black clouds boiled around the tower, lightning flashed and thunder cracked across the sky. It had been months since the last activities, and the tower had lain silent. A particularly bright flash of lightning, and a particularly loud crack of thunder, and the tower saw activity once again.
The man standing in the doorway was slumped as if exhausted. Multiple cuts and bruises were visible on his body, and he leaned with one hand on the doorway, supporting himself it seemed by sheer strength of will. That last battle had been grueling, and only his power had saved him in the end. But this tower, he thought, would do.
He stumbled inside, and finding a particular patch of floor that seemed softer than the rest, crashed to the ground, unconcious before his head hit the wood.

The sun shining in through the windows finally woke Valan. He sat up groggily shaking his head. As he did so, a spasm of pain wracked his body, forcing him to keep still. Slowly, he stood, wincing as the fire shot through every singly one of the cuts on his skin. Squinting up at the sun, Valan judged the time to be about noon, verified by the fact that his stomach wasnt so much growling at him as roaring. He slowly limped forward towards the door, thinking to go out and see if he couldnt find a restaurant for lunch.

Clip hung from the clock hand by his legs smoke lightly coming off his cigarette he didn't have a care in the world.
Clip spun the pistol from its holster and did a quick point and shot.
A pigeon's head suddenly exploded from 500 yards away in the streets below. Clip took another puff and watched as the tiny dots of people started to gather round the pigeon to see what had happened

Valan paused as he watched the pigeon body fall to the ground. Damn, he thought, another one. Hope this one isn't out to kill me like the rest. He stayed in the doorway of the clocktower as the crowd gathered, then slowly edged around it and out into the street. Only then did he start looking around for the signs of the shot. He didn't think to look up however, and finding nothing, continued on towards the town.

Clip smiled he spun his gun several then returned it. Clip finished the cig and flicked it. It hit where Valan had stepped a few moments later.
"Time to go play with the new guy."
Clip unhooked his legs twisted and fell backwards towards the ground. at the last moment Clip spun and landed softly on his feet how he did it at such a hight was a mystery but he had done it with out a single noise.
Clip turned on is toes and followed Van from a good 10 car lengths apart.

The feeling had begun as he had gotten around the crowd. The prickling feeling right between his shoulder blades that told him someone was watching him. He kept walking, like nothing was happening, but inside he sighed. It was going to be another one of those days. The feeling continued, and the air around Valan started to almost innoticably heat.

Clip noticed the change right away his eyes didn't miss much thanks to his blood line.
"He is good no wonder he was chosen."
Clip quickened his pace he was sure Valan wouldn't engage him here in the middle of the crowds. Would he?
Clips fingers flickered over his weapons making sure they were all set. Clip couldn't help his excitement. SValan mite actually be some fun to play with.

Valan walked faster, trying to get away from the crowds. He wanted some space to use his full potential, without the worry of harming innocents. He turned down an alley, looking for a way out of town. The alley was dank and smelly, and no one else was there. Even the buildings on either side seemed deserted.

Clip nodded.
"Too bad."
Clip snapped his fingers the world seemed to slow down as he sprinted for the ally. Clip turned the corner and vaulted over Valan landing again without a single noise his back facing Valan Clip pulled down the blue goggles over is eyes they looked like sunglasses but indeed they were but it was something Clip liked to wear in a fight no matter what time of day.
Clips fingers stilled as they readied themselves for an attack of any kind.

Damn! was Valan's only thought. He tensed, and lightning appeared around his gauntlet, flickering to and fro. He felt the charge run through his body, immediatly restoring him to fighting ability. Valan quickly jumped while his attackers back was turned, and spun in the air as he sent an electrically charged punch at the mans head. Weird goggles. he thought to himself in the process.

Clip smiled. "Amature."
Clip stepped too the side his left arm reaching out and actually pulled Valan in closer but having slight control the punch missed and there was a soft click as Clips gun pressed against Valan's face. "Come on man that is one of the cheapest tricks in the book. Here let me give you a tip."
Clip tightened his grip but only to get Valan's attention. "Leverage goes a long way and you also saw how I got in-front of you so quickly you got to give me more to work with man."

Valan smiled as the electricity he had generated moments before coursed along his arm down towards Clips.
"What if I wanted to get caught?"
The shock had enough power to paralyse and seriously hurt a normal human, much like sticking a metal object into a light socket.
