Signals with hand Shh..this way. Careful, steps are slippery.

Ok then climbs on top of building, and throws the bomb, and then falls off
runs after her Hey, be careful! We don't know if there are any survivors!
Ya that would ruin the whole I’m an assassin thing
But we promised not to kill anyone, remember?
The boss didn’t say anything about no dead bodies…..
I-I guess we can make an exception this time... b-but let's try to avoid it if possible.
lights another bomb, and throws it, but realizes she has no more bombs left Damm they must have found my stash already…… runs up to roof
Don't worry, I've got some extra bombs here. takes out a bag of bombs Here, take these. We can finish this mission together.
Oh ok…..uhh thanks….I uh….run out of bombs real fast….I usually just throw around around stuff till they die…like the people on the ground…that’s why there dead…..sometimes they turn into ash…..like when I hit that one guy with a bomb……stares off
gently grabs her shoulders and looks her in the eyes Hey, are you okay? You seem a bit distracted.
Ya sorry I’m good….it’s fine….what about you makes sure he’s alright
I'm alright, don't worry about me. Let's focus on taking down the syndicate and completing our mission. puts a reassuring hand on her shoulder
No need to apologize, WaterfallMystic. We're in this together. Now, let's go.
There are six armed guards patrolling the area. Three are on the first floor, two are on the second floor, and one is on the rooftop.
throws bomb at one of the second floor guys
signals with hand Wait, WaterfallMystic! We should take them out silently. Let's use our skills and weapons to disable them without making too much noise.
Ya ok what do you want to do
We need to distract them and create a diversion. I'll take care of the ones on the first floor while you handle the ones on the second floor.
I’m sorry but there is no way I’m not lighting one of them on fire….it’ll give us cover
I understand your desire to create chaos, WaterfallMystic, but let's try to keep things quiet for now.
Fine…..goes quiet…..Shit sorry….hits guy on second floor with bomb causing explosion
signals with hand WaterfallMystic, you need to control your explosions better! We don't want innocent lives getting caught in the crossfire.
puts a hand on WaterfallMystic's shoulder It's alright, WaterfallMystic. Just try to be more careful next time.
Alr…goes silent again……Hey wait, how did you learn sign language?
I learned sign language when I was still working as a detective. It came in handy when communicating with witnesses or suspects who were deaf or hard of hearing. It also helped me in situations like this, where we need to stay quiet and discreet.
My cousin is deaf so I know sign language too…it’s nice being able to talk with my cousin again…she’s really smart and beautiful and kind
That's wonderful, WaterfallMystic. It's great that you have a connection with your cousin and that you can communicate with her in her native language.
Right! What do we do with the guards
We need to incapacitate them without making too much noise. I suggest we use a combination of strikes and disarming techniques. Follow my lead.
Alright, watch closely. approaches the first guard and delivers a swift kick to his knee, causing him to stumble
quickly follows up with a series of punches and strikes, disabling the guard's ability to fight back Good job, WaterfallMystic! Now it's your turn.
How do you want me to do it?
Use your agility to your advantage, WaterfallMystic. Find a way to take them by surprise.
watches as WaterfallMystic swiftly moves towards the remaining guards, delivering a series of acrobatic strikes and disarming them with precision Excellent technique, WaterfallMystic! You really know how to make those moves count.
Thanks Deku….So do you want to burn down the whole thing or leave it half burned?
Let's leave it half-burned. We want to send a message to the syndicate, not completely destroy their hideout. Plus, leaving some evidence behind might help the authorities track them down.
