As Trevor flies them into a window, Katrina touches the button on her commlink to the plane. "That energy burst would be Lisa. Turns out she doesn't need our or Jack's help to protect herself. I think we're done..." Glancing sideways through the wall into the alley, she adds, "We've got those two others readings you picked up too. Two boys, one helping us, the other.... undecided." She looks back at Jack and Lisa. "Lisa has not taken direct action against us. I think we should see if she and the boys want to come back with us. It's still hot in here, so we might need some adult supervision, in case this continues to go south."
Landing, she lets go of the comm button, instead touching her necklace. Instantly, her image shimmers, and the cute girl everyone knows flickers out of existence. In her place is another girl, the same size, but that is where the resemblance ends. Her hair is jet black, like Lisa's new form. Her skin is leathery, with only her face looking remotely human, as cracks radiate out from her temples and cheekbones, downward, with skin thickening and becoming more plate-like. Her hands look more like scooped claws, like an armadillo has, made for digging. Her eyes burn like lava. Maybe her appearance wouldn't be so startling, if Saleem were actually visible right now, but since he isn't...
She lets go of Sebastian's hand and steps forward, arms down and relaxed.
"It's over. She can protect herself. Let her choose what she wants. She can come with us, stay with Jack, or go her own way." She looks at Lisa expectantly.
