Notes

In the instant he had his knife out and pointed lazily towards her, she was up and drew her gun, shortly followed by the tell tale click of the safety being taken off. She muttered something inaudible as the other two sitting at their fire jumped up, the surrounding spectators just staring, eye wide with shock and quiet murmurs floating about from them.

With adrenaline still coursing through her veins, she kept the gun sights trained on the man in front of her who had his hands raised in surrender. North looked between Everett and Gene, who was currently being protected by Rileigh, before stepping in front of the woman's gun slowly, hands raised as she tried to calm her down.

She was a textbook negotiator, everything about her saying "calm down, there's no danger." Still frozen with the gun now locked onto North, she hesitated a moment before beginning to take a cautious step forwards towards the barrel. The only thing that succeeded in doing was making her take an abrupt step backwards, her knuckles beginning to turn white as her index finger rested on top of the trigger.

"Hey, hey, hey! C'mon now Eve, there's no need for this. It's fine." Using a gentler tone than she normally would with her, which still really wasn't that gentle or reassuring, she said it in an attempt to get the gun's safety back on and holstered. Or at least out of the hands of the other woman. Extending her hand out towards the barrel, she placed her index and middle finger onto the barrel. Already appearing visually pale from staring down a gun, her lips continued moving, though she wasn't saying anything. Or at least to the hostile woman.

Still hesitating to make any movements, the gun began shaking ever so slightly. Barely noticeable, but shaking either way.

Taking note of the hesitation, and wanting to get this over sooner rather than later before either or them made any dumb moves, North quickly wrapped her hand around the barrel of the gun and pointed it down to the ground between her feet. A gunshot rang out moments before the firearm was roughly yanked out of her hands and tossed to the ground beside the pair. Eve gave her an utterly dumbfounded look.

She only got the chance to look for a second before she hit the ground, her breath being knocked out of her as the shorter woman's arm pressed down on her neck. "Shoulda never let you out of my sight. Cap will fucking hear about this." She said with her face pulled into a beyond pissed look, more so than usual.
