Scissor Takedown

The sun began to set on the horizon. Limousines pulled up outside of a brightly lit building. Cologne that cost their weight in gold, jewellery that looked purer than zinc ore itself, smiles that were faker than a puppet show. The scene outside Gold Inc's HQ was manic. One particular limousine stood out from the rest. The door swung open and a manicured, sleek leg emerged from the vehicle.

Cheers went up from the crowd as the Vogue visage made an appearance on the red carpet. People clambered around with cameras and microphones. They all wanted to take a photo of the Vogue Chick. Little were they aware that that sexy dress which could stop traffic, was hiding a world of danger.

Hannah's group filed into the foyer where the festivities were happening. Champagne was flowing, finger foods were served and the air was thick with gossip and slander of all kinds. There was an empty table by the back that was more hidden than the others so they could remain undetected. It was also in a strategic position.

A few moments later, the Heartwoods made an appearance on the scene and took themselves to the back table. However, by the time they had gotten there Hannah had vacated the space.

"Huh. That's weird. I thought Hannah had reserved this table for us", Lee wondered.

Neo had to laugh at how thick-headed his brother was at times.

"You dummy. If she has something up her sleeve, why the hell would she be sat here? Huh?"

"Got a point I guess."

Lee sighed, looking a little crestfallen. One may even think he was hoping to spend some time with her. Neo saw the lovesick look on his brother's face and kicked him in the shin to bring him back to earth.

"Wait....dude, you pining for her? You can't seriously like her? Right?"

Lee scoffed back, "Hey I do. She's hot, she's...whatever she is. Why, you jealous or something? Let's just focus on the evening.".

MEANWHILE

Hannah was invited to the VIP room booked by the security team of Gold Inc. Here was where the real party was happening. Lush chocolate, expensive wine, soft music and a good view from the window. The room suddenly went quiet as the door opened. No sooner had Hannah put her leg through the door, the guards were transfixed on her.

"Whoa hot damn, Jack! Where did you find 'this' fine specimen!", one of them blurted out. Hannah internally rolled her eyes but figured he'd be the most pliable one. She clearly had what he wanted.

"Oh Jeff cut it out. I work with his company. Of course I was invited."

She made a point to sit next to the horny, tipsy man and set the mood just right. The other guards seemed jealous and secretly mocked her. Jeff didn't mind. He was having the time of his life in his perspective.

Jack, the head of security, tried to alleviate the tension in the room by threatening, "Yo man. Watch it. Your wife might find out what happened here haha!".

"Nah man. This angel right here? This is the real deal alright," Jeff practically drooled his words as he looked her up and down. Hannah bit her lip as she watched him get a stiffy then made a really bold move.

"Jack come on. You know the rules, right? What happens here stays here. I'm sure one night won't hurt, right?". Hannah ran her fingers on the man's thigh, evidently relishing his weakness and inability to handle her. The others were becoming uncomfortable and tried to get between them when she turned around.

If looks could kill, they probably will.

She whirled around like a hawk who had spotted its prey. No sooner had they backed off, she leapt up and ripped her dress slit even further. Cell by cell, 'Hannah' began to change forms. The red hair gave way to jet black locks. The blue eyes gave way deep hazelnut ones.

"HOLY F**K! IT'S A SHAPESHIFTER! G--"...

The heel of her hand struck the man's voice box and the air was cut with the movements of her legs sweeping them off the ground. Jeff stood and faced her in horror. He looked at her as if she was an animal of some kind.

He reached for his gun and tried to cock it when two blue feet wrapped around his wrist and tossed the gun away. He looked left. Right. To the side. He couldn't see anything.

He forgot to check above when blue scaly legs wrapped around his neck, choking him out. The blue creature tightened her grip the more he struggled. Eventually she broke his neck with the sheer force of her thighs alone. The other guards who were still on the ground looked on in terror. The naked blue woman began to shift again into a tough looking girl with the black hair.

The guards jumped up, clearly aiming to kill her. They had never seen such a monstrosity in the human race.

It was the first and last time they would.

No sooner did they dive forward to strike, she dived sideways nicking their skin with two small daggers. It only left a graze, but the guards fell convulsing before black veins travelled up their heads.

She sheathed her daggers back into her dress and shifted forms again.

"Team A. You're up. The snake is defenseless."

The woman looked back at the carnage she'd caused then smirked.

"Crazy bastard. Wonder how he got married huh."
