Allison's gaze flicked over her target, so she saw his hand shake. It gave her hope, a sick and urgent feeling in her gut mixed with something else, something that was whispering at her, danger danger danger...not unlike that first night when she got mugged, when she'd ignored her hunter's instinct...when being normal was more important than being ready.
"I'm the Alpha." she shot back, but with less venom even as she took a bold step towards him, bow still aimed right at the sliver of space that sat between helmet and collar, covered by his leathers but not impenetrable. "Nothing is above my pay grade."
Danger danger danger danger danger...
It was the gun.
For all his cruel posturing, she knew the Red Hood. In her gut, she knew him. She'd seen him kill, seen him save lives...she knew he had a heart, and she knew that any hand that could wield a blade like he did would never lay hands on a weapon he was too afraid to wield.
So she took a breath, her bow hand steady as she regarded him with a moment of doubt...then swallowed thickly and finally lowered her weapon, taking another step towards him.
"What the hell did you do, idiot stick?" she hissed, her own heart starting to beat faster in her chest.
