Welcome to Gaia! ::

Alex ran for awhile, stopping briefly to pant as she leaned against the wall. "Wait..what am I doing...I can't run away like this, what if she's in danger?" She suddenly realizes, not wanting to seem as a coward to the woman. She was dressed as a superhero though.. Yet another sound called her attention as an explosion went off. Strange..

Another sound distracted her though for her not to look at the flames of the building and she saw someone running not to far from here...and in the direction of the Clear man and that woman. "Excuse me...if you are like me you shouldn't go that direction....." Her voice trails off though as the figure shifted to a beast of some sort..almost like a dragon? "Well obviously you are not like me...yet still the ahead holds a woman in battle with a mad man, if you are going to help the mad man...I have an obligation to stop you! That woman aided me in my escape." She firmly says, stepping out and widening her arms to stop the dragon from running past her. Sure, the mad man took her knife yet she still had a will like everyone else. That woman..I shouldn't leave her.. Worry was in her eyes as she attempted to look very serious to the beast.

Shadow gave a shrug as the person ignored her, not caring nor paying attention towards it. She opened one of the cokes she had in hand, now standing as her eyes surveyed the area. Her mind sensed the Bloody Jester and Woman of White was fighting as an alley nearby held criminals talking of the even describing characters such as the two she had in mind. Not too long after, an explosion went off not too far from her as a building began to fall. n fact, the building almost falling on her ruins about a few miles away from her current location. She had an obligation to protect her only home as she teleported over leaving the other coke on the rooftop.

The rumble of the building started to fall directly above her as she stood there on the highest part of her home. Her breath pausing as she extended har arms, waiting patiently as the large ruble drew nearer above to fall directly on her. "Let the shadow of this one power to thy hands to end those who threaten a place of past.." She mutters to herself, all jewls on her mask now glowing brightly: the ruby with its red, the sapphire with its blue, the amber with its light brown, the amethyst with is purple, and the pearl with its white. The rumble drew close as the masked woman looked at it with intense concentration. Quickly her hands began to move as she focused her power on the shadows of the rumble now moving each piece away from the ruins she stood on. Each piece being sent either opposite direction or to avoid her home in the first place. It would seem to be saving her home, yet it was clear she only care for it as she did not protect the buildings next to it. The rumble falling was quite larger then Shadow as she counteracted each piece and gravity was not on her side as she had to act quickly.

It was not until awhile after was the rumble not a threat to her home and she was standing covered in dust from it. The dust was everywhere and covered her used to be clear white mask. "My skin may be of black yet I prefer my face to remain white.." She grumbled with a stretch of her arms. The mask's jewels slowly fading now as she turned around. Her figure disappeared from the ruins before quickly reappearing on the wall of an apartment complex sliding down the wall rather well before grabbing at the edge of one of the windows. "Ahh..here seems to be the right setting of my next page.." She says to herself, looking over the window. The window was clear with three large numbers along its frame and easy to pick at the lock as she used the window's shadow against itself. "Wonder if 502 is suppose to have some meaning.." She thought aloud jumping in through the window and landing against the bathroom door causing a loud thud. Her ears heard footsteps nearby as it seemed someone was there outside the door to which she now locked. She gave no word to whomever was outside the door as she stood and closed the window. After all, she was covered in dust and quite filthy: she needed a good shower. It was not until she tuned off the lights and closed the curtains did she turn on the water and began to undress. The shadows of the room, thanks to the light being turned off, increased to which she used to her advantage as she firmly locked the entire room on each side to not be bothered within. A slight hum escaped her as she slipped off her mask and went into the shower closing the curtains behind her.

The water ran as Shadow took her shower, and she could feel someone bust the door so the shadows she used to hold it now surrounded the shower. In fact, if whomsoever was in the bathroom was to touch it then it would burn from the layers of shadow thus creating a certain darkness. She ignored the individual as she took her shower in complete darkness to not see her reflection.

After done with the shower and she could hear that whosoever was there then they were using the bathroom. She turned off the water and waited for them to finish before firmly using the shadows in the room to kick them out and close the door. Once they were out and something covered the door for them not to enter once more, Shadow got out of the shower and cleaned off her mask with a spare towel. Remembering her clothing was not as clean as herself, she attempted to find something else to wear as she searched the bathroom. Yet, fortune it was that through the window she could see a clothing store across the building. "With some adjustments that will do quite nicely.." She says to herself looking to her shadow. Her shadow detached from her body and went through the window to the store and grabbed at a dress's shadow before dragging it to the window. Anyone seeing the dress would see it almost float to the window before Shadow got a hold of it. Once the dress was on she was sure to adjust it as she used the fabric instead of wearing the dress and was soon wearing a strange outfit created by it along with other things. Her mask was soon on afterwords along with her black veil across the back of her head. Her shadow returned to her body before she opened the door staring at the figure across it almost innocently.
