-----------As Issei was examining his new bow, the frown on his face rapidly turned to a grin, "interesting so I'm currently only strong enough to draw Tauropolos halfway, Heroic Spirits really are strong compared to normal humans aren't they? But…"
[BOOST!]
"Thankfully I can cheat," he smirked as his red gauntlet began glowing again and he started to draw the bowstring back once more.
This time the human managed to draw it back further and after seeing the carnage that the bow caused at only half strength Mittelt immediately descended to the ground before desperately rushing towards her target, hoping that he wouldn't shoot at this close range. These hopes were dashed as he fired the bow at the ground beneath her feet, the tiles and pavement exploding upwards and sending Mittelt soaring into a nearby fence, leaving a large dent as she collapsed to the ground.
Groaning the Fallen Angel struggled to her feet just in time to see a red gauntlet smash into her face and send her once again crashing into the fence, this time sending Mittelt through the dented metal. Stepping through the newly made hole in the fence Issei grinned as he gripped the glowing Lancer card in his gauntlet.
"Include Lancer," he called and the card in his gauntlet transformed into the blood red lance that Mittelt saw him using earlier.
Mittelt just watched as the teen as he approached with the bow in one hand and the red lance in his gauntlet covered other. As Issei walked over to her, the Fallen Angel could have sworn she saw two ghostly figures behind him and glaring at her. The first was blue clad man that had narrowed beast like slits for pupils that were almost daring her to try something just so he could rip her to shreds. The second was a beautiful green clad woman that seemed to have catlike ears and tail, and yet despite these endearing features the hate in her eyes made Mittelt feel like she was staring into the face of death itself.
"Now Mittelt I'm going ask you a few questions and you're going to tell me the truth, understand?" stated Issei with a frown.
Mittelt hesitated slightly which caused the hostility from the two ghostly figures to increase tenfold as the Fallen Angel shuddered in fear from their glares, "yes of course just don't kill me, please" she begged while nodding her head furiously.
"Good, now why did you attack me? I thought after I dealt with your two friends that you Fallen would have learnt your lesson," he interrogated.
"I saw your fight with that Devil and…" Mittelt trailed off as she began eyeing the ground.
"You thought you'd take advantage of my tired state," finished the teen, making her flinch.
"Not a bad strategy, especially since you actually stole my Class Cards while I was distracted. You've definitely got more brains than your two friends," he nodded with an almost approving tone.
Mittelt just looked up in confusion at this unexpected reply only to flinch as Issei placed Gae Bolg above her heart, the girl shivering as she felt the bloodlust barely being restrained by the spear. "Now for my next question, did you really hurt those two humans?" he asked in a dangerously calm voice.
The Fallen swallowed and slowly nodded her head, the thought of lying never even occurring to her, which oddly enough was the only reason she was still breathing. "Mittelt this is one of those times you need to think very carefully about how you answer this next question," warned Issei quietly.
"Why did you hurt them?" asked the teen in a tone devoid of emotion.
She wanted to lie, she wanted to give him some sad sob story, anything to justify her actions and yet when she looked into the eyes of her judge, she found that she couldn't. Looking back at her actions she wondered, why did she hurt them? If she wanted to get those thugs to follow her, there were plenty of better ways to go about it, so why did she do it?
Eventually Mittelt just sighed as she turned to look up at Issei who was waiting with raised eyebrows, "I don't know."
The teen blinked a couple of times before he glared at her again, "then why did you want to kill me?"
"Didn't Raynare tell you? We were ordered to kill you because of your Sacred Gear," she explained with a confused frown.
"So you're only following orders? Is that it? Don't give me that! Everyone has a choice; you could have chosen not to obey your superiors but instead you didn't even question them," he growled, angrily.
Mittelt just gave a hollow laugh, "you obviously don't know much about Fallen Angels then do you?"
"Oh? Enlighten me then," frowned Issei, Gae Bolg still hovering over the Fallen's heart.
The girl just glared up at him in defiance, "you think we have a choice? You think we can disobey our orders and abandon the Grigori? Tell me Issei Hyoudou, how are we supposed to do that when everywhere else we go we're hated and hunted?"
Mittelt then stood up, uncaring about the spear now drawing blood from her chest, "no matter who we are or what we are doing, we are always hunted. Devils, Angels, Yokai, even Humans! Whenever they hear there is a Fallen in town it becomes open season for them!"
"To them it's always the same, you are a Fallen therefore you must be evil! Even damn Devils are treated better than we are. Devils! The original creatures of Sin!" she shouted as tears began to well up in her eyes.
Issei just watched, stunned as she wiped the tears from her eyes and glared at him, "the Grigori is the only place we can be free, where we can be safe. We can't survive anywhere else, so don't give me that crap about having a choice! A human like you could never understand what it is like!"
"How could you know what it feels like to see those you care about hunted down for simply being seen with you, because of some fanatic whipping a crowd into a frenzy?! How could you know what it feels like to see the people you consider family butchered before your very eyes?!" she growled and the teen's eyes just widened.
"Let him go! He's just a child!" cried his mother to the black clad balaclava man as she grabbed and tried to grab her son from him.
The man just growled in frustration as he let go of Issei, pulled something from his holster, and pointed it at him. Seeing this his mother placed herself between the two of them and screamed at him to run before a loud bang went off and she fell to the floor.
Suddenly everyone heard the familiar sirens of the police getting closer and the balaclava man and his henchmen began to grow nervous. "Boss we need to go before the cops show up!" exclaimed one of them, causing the man to nod before the bolted towards the exit.
"Mom! It's my fault, I'm so sorry," cried the ten-year-old Issei as he rushed over to his mother's side and gripped her hand with his own.
"Don't worry Issei it's not your fault," smiled his mother before her hand slipped from his grip and collapsed to the ground.
"Mom…" whispered the child as he just stared at his motionless mother.
Shaking the memories from his head the teen frowned as he forced the painful memory back and stared at Mittelt with a frown. There was silence as the two began a staring contest, Mittelt could still feel the eyes of the two ghostly figures burning a hole in her head but even so, she kept her gaze focused solely on Issei. Eventually the human just sighed as he lowered his spear and looked at her, not with pity, not with sympathy, but with understanding.
