“I can barely breathe in this,” Thea muttered to herself, tugging at the neck gaiter covering her face's lower half. Just a few hours ago she had no need for it. She and Tom were at the Halloween party one of his cousins had thrown and she didn’t need to hide her face. Things changed the moment she stepped into the Windsor Hotel. It was necessary. Her undercover job wasn't finished yet and she still had to be around these people for a little while longer. If they caught her everything would be a bust and she couldn't have that. Unfortunately, she hadn’t had time to change out of her Baroness costume, the spandex nearly suffocating her as she got her nerves under control. This was technically her first time in the field. Her first time doing something of this caliber and though she had a more experienced partner alongside her she didn’t want to screw anything up. The moment things popped off her nerves were steeled enough to do what she had come to. Wesley moved first - trying to apprehend Julia. She figured because he looked like he knew what he was doing that she didn’t need to intervene. Instead, she peeked around the corner where she had come from to make sure no one had followed.
When she bumped into a Moretti guard, her eyes grew wide in shock, mouth agape like a fish. “You’re not-,” she started, cutting herself off when he swung a fist at her. She squealed and ducked, her fight or flight responses kicking in before throwing her fist into his abdomen. He keeled over, but it wasn't enough to subdue him - his arms immediately reaching around her waist before she had a chance to book it. Thea threw her head back into his nose, hearing a snap as he dropped her to the ground. While he groaned through the pain, her hand immediately reached for the stun gun attached to her costume. The moment he advanced for her again she pulled the trigger, shooting the guard right between the eyes. His body convulsed for a few seconds before he hit the ground with a thud. Thea took a second to herself to breathe, glad that she had such quick reaction times. After making sure no one else was around she headed back to Wesley, just in time to see Julia kick the man between his legs. The woman stood up and without hesitation, she pulled the trigger again hitting Julia in her chest. Thea could hear Wesley muttering and let out an annoyed sigh. "I had my own shit to deal with okay?! Be glad I came when I did." Thea then knelt down to Julia's side, checking her for any weapons they may have missed. "Get it together and come help, please?"

Aliana Sullivan
Ali could hear Sinead's voice nearby, turning her head to see her in a conversation with Conor. How she'd heard about the commotion was anyone's guess, but her attention was no longer focused on her. Her eyes had trailed to watch Conor go back inside and when he disappeared they grew wide. "D-Did he just go back inside?" She whispered. It took everything in her not to follow suit, knowing that if anyone would be able to help it was probably him. She didn't want to keep getting in the way; keep making things harder. But after nearly losing her life and he his it was hard for her not to. Feeling her eyes welling up with tears once more she turned to Blake again and took a deep breath. "I'm okay. It's gonna be okay. We're Sullivans, right? We're like- like fucking cockroaches. We're hard to kill and we're gonna be alright?" She didn't mean for it to sound like a question as she reminded herself thinks were going to work out. "God, this would be the perfect time to start smoking. Blake, do you smoke? I need to start," she half-heartedly joked.
