"What the hell is she doing here and....," Although she wanted to ignore Audrey, the banging she heard made her unable to ignore whatever was going on.
Joanna disappeared and reappeared at the scene of the commotion.
For a minute there she was stunned to see that Amos was with Audrey and Kyle.
"Y-you...," Joanna stuttered. She was too flustered to come up with what to say.
"Watch out!" Audrey shouted and ran to block Joanna from the masked guy's attack.
Just when the man's flying daggers wanted to stab through Audrey's chest Joanna pushed her away and grabbed the dagger with her bare hands.
Skillfully she swung the dagger back at the masked man.
Luckily for him, he disappeared at that moment or else the dagger would have pierced through his forehead.
"Hey, are you crazy?" Joanna shouted, her fierce glares shot at Audrey.
"W-what...," Audrey stammered not knowing what she did to warrant such a reaction from her.
"Miss Jo...," Amos grabbed Kyle's hand and shook his head in disapproval.
"They are gonna get away so let's go after them and let them talk first," Amos grabbed Kyle's hand and pulled him away to give the ladies privacy.

"Did you know you could have died if the dagger had pierced your heart...,"
"I might not have biceps, or triceps and look like a giant but I assure you I am hard to kill...," Joanna's tight grip on Audrey's left arm made the lady's smile fade away instantly.
"How could you make a joke about such a thing as death? Do you think you have another life other than this one?" Joanna retorted.
Audrey raised her hands and grabbed Joanna's shoulders when she saw that the angry lady wouldn't calm down.
"Anna, I ask fine. Look, nothing bad happened to me," She let go of her hand and spun so that Joanna had a good look at every part of her body.
"No harm came to me so you can relax...,"
"You are reckless about everything including your life which you should be treating like a gemstone so how could I ever be relaxed huh?" Joanna snapped and brushed Audrey's hand away from her shoulders.
Audrey kicked the air and ran her five fingers through her well-styled hair after Joanna refused to listen to her but instead kept reprimanding her.
"Some minutes ago you were acting like you wouldn't bat an eyelid if I dropped dead at your feet so what happened now ahh?" Audrey demanded, her hands stuck in her trouser's pocket and her gaze centred on Joanna's face.
"Did you suddenly grow a heart hmm?".
"I dare you to repeat what you have just said, Audrey Lopez?" Joanna seethes and hits Audrey's chest with her clenched fists.
"Say that nonsense again and I won't hesitate to hit you in the face...,"
"Aren't you losing your temper because I was right huh?" Audrey said provocatively.
She would rather let Joanna take it out on her once and for all than go back to how their relationship was.
At least her heart might soften a bit if she hits her hard.
"You...," Joanna grabbed Audrey's collar and pulled her closer. Her raised punch stayed exactly where it was for a minute.
"Go on...," A purple beam that shoots into the sky coupled with the loud thud they heard made them divert their attention to their right-hand side where these things came from.
"I will deal with you after we have wrapped things up here," Joanna shoved Audrey aside and raced towards where the thud came from.
"And I am waiting for that," Audrey mumbled and arranged the dishevelled collar of her shirt.
"I am afraid she might get herself into trouble so let me go check on her," She muttered and pursued Joanna.
At a junction, Joanna met a group of four engaged in an intense battle.
One look at the flying lasers, flames and leaves a person would easily tell that those engaging in this fight were not ordinary.
As they fought Joanna tried to get a glimpse of the faces of the figures fighting. Because of their unparalleled speed, she didn't have an easy time seeing their faces.
"Raymond?" She yelled the instant she caught a glimpse of the sideline of the guy in a green leather jacket.
Raymond's punch hung in the air as he tilted his head and stole a glance at her bewildered expression.

Due to the distraction the masked man in Black he fought with seized this opportunity and landed a powerful blow on Raymond's stomach with his glowing blue hand.
He sent Raymond flying across the street with this one powerful punch.
Thinking Joanna was an easier target, the man sent a bunch of fly lasers to where she stood.
"Watch out!" Raymond yelled.
Joanna raised her right hand to block the lasers but before she knew it someone hugged and spun her around.
Just when the lasers were about to pierce through the back of the guy shielding her with his body, Joanna reached out her right hand and blocked it.
The masked guy's eyes widened as he kept his gaze glued to Joanna's face. "She blocked the lasers!" He exclaimed as he gazed at his glowing palms.
"But how?" he muttered.
"I will teach you how I did it, that is only if you can survive this," Joanna smirked and raised her hand ready to rain down brimstone on the guy.
"Let's go," the man called out to his partner, whom Derrick was battling.
Instantly they vanished into thin air before Joanna had the opportunity to deal a blow at them.
By this time Raymond was still hugging Joanna tightly.
"Amos!" Audrey who got there a few seconds ago yelled, her eyes widened in shock.
Her bulged eyes moved from Amos' face to where Joanna stood in Raymond's arms.
