Volkov heard a scream in the distance, it made her confused as she floated in the cold waters that were surely leading her to death. Russian bitch? Obviously she had pissed off more people then she thought. But the voice drew her to find feeling in her legs. Standing in the water as it flowed around her body, she waded towards shore. Every step, her chest throbbed with pain, and her body ached. yet something inside her heart told her to fight to reach shore. Pulling herself out of the icy current, she gasped and her eyes fluttered open. She saw Ashes as he pushed the beast off of them, and turning her head slowly she saw Shadow. The criminal had done it, she had killed the monster. "Russian bitch eh?" she choked and coughed, turning her head away and spat out blood. Licking her lips her eyes turned up to Ashes. Reaching out weakly, she clutched his ripped shirt tightly, a relief in her eyes. Scar had healed him enough that he was ok. Well at least a bit better off then she was.

Just as Scar came to join them, a bright light crashed through the area. More pain, burning, and disburse came at them. Groaning as the high pitched sound rang in her ears from the impact, she looked to Cias. He had saved them, transferring his energy to them. A tear slipped from her eyes as she rolled onto her stomach. Looking to Shadow's leg, her knee was dislocated, but other then that she was good. Just tired and beat up like the rest of them. Groaning as her blood flowed from the cut on her cheek, the woman took hold of Shadow's leg. Without a word she snapped it back in place and watched as the woman gave a shout. It was never fun relocating anything. "Payback for the bitch comment." she said with dry humor, a smirk playing on her lips. Grabbing vials from Scar, she handed them to Ashes and Shadow. "Adrenaline. Its all I have left." she explained, knowing they would drink it when they were ready.

Then Vex approached. She attacked Sycom, and it was something Volkov found she didn't know how to act. This man had nearly killed Ashes and herself. And then nearly killed them again by making them fight scorpiocat. Now they were going to die by the government hell bent on destroying him and his team. The odds were really stacked up against him. But she knew that she had to act. Vex wasn't herself, even if she didn't completely mind that she was beating the complete shit out of Sycom. Karmas a bitch. Then her eyes caught Remy.

"That little fuck." Volkov cursed, and drew her guns out of Scar. Sai shot at Vex, but the Russian knew who the true target was. She knew the look of a commander when she saw one. Had she ever mentioned she was one of the greatest shots in special forces? Well kids here was the example.

Bang. Bang.

Her shot rang out, one nailing Remy in the knee, so he wasn't going anywhere, and to be a pain, she nailed him in the opposite shoulder. Her eyes hard as she held her guns out in front of her. With Remy down, she turned her gaze to Vex.

Bang!

Sai's shot rang out, it had missed. But it got their attention on him long enough for her to act.

Bang! Bang!

Her shots rang out. One shot the knife out of Vex's hand, the other grazed her cheek. A warning shot. Next time it would be between the eyes. Stepping forward, the hybrid woman's eyes were hard. "Vex, step back. I don't want to kill you." she called, her voice firm. Looking to Sycom and back to the woman, she noticed Remy trying to move.

BANG!

Another shot in his other leg. "Don't you dare move." she sneered, knowing she was going to get jumped at any second. But she was buying time for her team to react. At this point her legs felt shaky, but she wouldn't let herself falter. Not again. She wouldn't fail. Turning her eyes back to Vex she smirked. "I'm not much of a fan of this ass hole either, I honestly don't mind if you beat the shit out of Sycom." she said with a smirk. "But I can't let you kill him." she said and held her guns firm and at the ready. "He's stupid. Emotional. Rash. And yes, he used people. All of us on this team. We are pawns. But we knew that. We all knew that. We still fight, though. Its our actions ultimately in the end." she said and met those eyes with her own hard blue silver eyes. "In the end he will pay for his sins, as will we all. But its how you react. Killing him isn't the answer. It makes you no better then him, no better then Remy who did this to you, gave you this unrational anger. So make your choice. If you make the wrong one, my next shot wont be so kind." Volkov warned. Her energy was draining fast, and she didn't know how much longer she was going to be able to stand. But she had to play her bluff, so the others could get their asses in gear. And hopefully fast! Dying a second time didn't seem like a fun time.
