Astra ran through the trees until she knew no one would see her, then she snapped her wings out and pushed up with enough force to create a creator where she had stood on the ground.

Her crystallise wings shimmered in the dark as she sped towards Kota's hiding spot. She had a bad feeling and it only worsened when she finally made out his little body in the dark, shaking in fear. A man easily triple the size of elf man loomed over him, getting ready to hit him.

Anger blossomed in her chest, he was going to kill him. She hurdled for Kota, grabbed him around the waist and spun, rolling along the dirt, making sure to pad Kota's fall.

Tears stroked his face and she turned to glare at him. Before she could say anything the man behind them spoke," Now, you, you're on the list.. In fact, I think the boss wants you dead."

Astra had no idea what he was going on about, his hood hid most of his face and she listened as Kota scrambled to his feet. She laid a hand on his head and smiled down at him," Everything's going to be alright. Just close your eyes. It'll be all over soon."

She created a barrier to protect him and turned to her enemy. He watched this all with a smile," It's not nice to lie to kids."

She scoffed. She'd deal with this, unsure of how strong he was she didn't want to underestimate him. She watched as he began talking again," You think you can save him? Your kind sure likes to mouth off don't they."

" Look who's talking." Astra muttered under her breath, too low for the villian to hear but she knew Kota heard. His eyes were wide as he stared at her steely expression.

" The name's Callisto right? We were told to kill you on sight."

He revealed himself, his hood falling and she saw that half his face was scarred, his left eye marred and where there should have been an iris now lay what looked like a mechanical eyeball.

How disturbing.

He grinned minimally and lunged for her, his body leaping into the air. Astra was caught off by the speed as he traveled; she had only a moment to put a shield up. He landed a hit mere inches away from her face as his fist connected with the barrier.

She stepped back and watched a moment later as it cracked and shattered. He was indeed very strong to be able to break one of her barriers. The aftermath of his blow sent a gust of wind so strong she flew back into the side of the mountain. She felt blood in her mouth. She must've but fine if her tongue.wiping the blood away she stared up at the man before her.

He stalked towards her," Before you die perhaps you can help me out a bit, do you by chance know where a kid, Bokugo might be?"

He wanted Katsuki?

Not happening.

If that little shit was going to die it'd be at Astra's own hands, not this oversized macho man. She scoffed," Ya, not happening."

She bearly dodged his next attack, she could see the rocks that fell and the hole in the side of the cliff as she continued to dodge him, looking for an opening. When it was clear there was no opening she resolved to the fact that she'd have to make one herself.

The air was sucked out of her as his leg connected with her stomach and she hit the rock wall with a crack. She choked on lost air and heaved in the crisp night air as he stalked closer.

That was when she saw him, Kota, the boy had stones in his hands and was throwing them at the giants back," Stop it! Stop it!"

He cried as he screamed at the villian to cease his attack and Astra's eyes widened as the villians attention turned from her to Kota. A sinking dread filled her stomach as he moved towards the boy," You wanna play little boy? I'll play."
