[Holy shit that hurt.

Greed moves, as soon as he can think past the fact that he's probably going to need to go to a doctor after this, but he isn't about to let the kid run off again. He needs to get away from everything Dante taught him.]

We're here to help you, kid!

[He says as he's most likely bleeding.]

[garbagechild]

<sub>[Between being latched onto Greed's wrist like a horrifying lamprey from hell and having TWO people making a grab for him at once, this time Wrath can't dodge them.]

[His feet leave the ground as Envy's arms snag him around the waist, and in the confusion, Al succeeds in grabbing a healthy handful of the boy's hair.]

[Their words of reassurance do nothing-- it's only because of the fact that he's now in danger of falling into enemy hands (and okay, maybe getting his hair yanked, too. That hurts!) that Wrath relinquishes his hold on 'Darius' and writhes around in Envy's grip with a piercing, banshee scream to sink his teeth into whatever part of his captor he can reach.]

[As for Al, he gets a pale, knobbly foot flying directly into his face for his troubles as Wrath kicks out and upwards with both legs.]</sub>

[armoredsoul]

[Al's scrambling to get a hold of a more limb-resembling part of Wrath is cut short by that flailing foot, and he stumbles back with a pained yell, clutching his nose. Definitely broken, and already bleeding.]

[exeggutorhead]

[Envy shouts in pain when Wrath sinks his sharp little teeth into his arm; it at least gets him to let go to try and shake the kid off.]

Damn it!

[ossifragant]

[The little brat is going to cause way too much of a scene. The last thing any of them need are the Jennys all being called in, because he doubts they'll listen to any "he needs our help" excuses.]

Damn brat!

[He hates Dante more for the brainwashing, but right now Greed wants nothing more than to chase the kid down before he causes an even bigger situation.

He tries to grab the kid again, before he can let go of Envy.]

[garbagechild]

<sub>[It took about five seconds before the attempts at calming Wrath down degenerated into profanity and hollers of pain. That's actually impressive.]

[But Greed's right-- any more of this and it'll attract a hell of a lot of unwanted attention.]

[Unfortunately for them... Wrath isn't about to give in that easily.]

[He sees the grab coming and lets go of Envy just in time to wriggle out from between all of them. And then promptly takes off like a bat out of hell, straight down the road.]</sub>

[armoredsoul]

[Al's just recovered and blinked the stars out of his eyes when Wrath breaks loose, and he curses before taking off after him. God, if Wrath manages to find something to climb up away from them, this whole thing will be a bust!]

Come on!

[exeggutorhead]

[Yeah, they have to cut him off from climbing anything.]

We need something to catch him in!

[But for now they just need to CATCH UP.]

[ossifragant]

[Dammit, this isn't going well.]

How are we supposed to catch him? Did anyone think to bring a net?

[garbagechild]

<sub>[When Lust isn't around, everyone's strategizing capabilities go STRAIGHT TO SHIT. Of course nobody thought to bring a net.]

[It's just lucky for everyone involved that Wrath has short legs, because at the very least, with all of them sprinting down the road after him, they're at least able to keep him in view.]

[Well. Until he ducks through some bushes and into someone's YARD, anyway.]</sub>

[armoredsoul]

[Oh, goddamnit. He did not want to add trespassing onto his list of crimes today, and yet here we are.]

[Al pulls off his coat and throws it to Greed before leaping over the fence to follow Wrath.] Get around to the other side, I'll herd him out!
