As used to this body as she was, she probably shouldn't have had attempted to take so many on at once the first time, in hindsight. It was clear she probably wouldn't be getting out of this, not without a few injuries. And that just got her blood boiling even more.

Tsuyu and Quill's attacks were successful, the former one preventing her from trying to cause more damage to the larger opponent, her paw frozen in mid-air, only able to twitch her claws as she struggled to get free of the blood-bending, regardless of the pain that it caused her. She couldn't afford to be still. More. More. More. You wanted to drag Oni back, right? You can't? So what's the point of every sacrifice you've made? Your mother? Roy? They died because you wavered in your beliefs, and you had to prove yourself right. Don't make that mistake again.

Whether it was the sharp pain of those delicate little bones in her paw breaking that snapped her out of it, those little whispers that were constantly plaguing her in her head, or the thought she might actually lose as she watched those jaws close around her paw, and her neck, she didn't know, nor care, but she attempted to slam one of the larger wings into Tsuyu's body, despite the that moving caused her, in an attempt to break her concentration. Whether it hit or just broke her concentration, it would still be successful, as it meant she could move without pain. And that meant she could teleport out of Quill's grasp, and if it had been successful, she would proceed to do so, the grin on her face fading, carefully balancing on three paws, tail whipping back and forth as she sized them up. She should probably deal with the feline hybrid first, since she seemed to be able to restrain her somewhat...

Those little voices in her head were a double-edged sword, she would learn. While they had driven her to become physically strong, and she had succeeded in doing so, and probably partially responsible for the powers she had already, they only had managed to thrive within her because her mind was so weak, as twisted and broken as it was. Those darker essences couldn't do much either, considering they only had the power to influence her, and had been from a young age. The most they could do was try and force somebody out for her, but there were no promises on it. The point was, mental manipulation? Yeah, that wasn't something Thea had much defense against. Her mind and the fact her emotions were a bit stunted caused this, and she tilted her head, that ghost of a smile she always had on her face appearing as the mental manipulation took effect, forgetting the fact she wanted to defeat them for a few moments, the little voices quieting for now.

"Would you like to come with me?"

The voice, soft and comforting, echoed in Thea's mind, and the tail that had been raised for another attack had slowly lowered. That was nice, right? She had originally gone to the Ascendents because she had been lonely, wanting to see what this whole forming and breaking bonds were like, even if she wasn't very successful. She wasn't very close to anybody there, only Suite, and she was dead, so she didn't matter anymore, right? She had done her part, what the little voices in her head wanted her to do. To condemn Bucky. Surely, he'd be exiled or even killed. It was out of her hands now.

LEAVE. There was an attempt to roughly shove Valkyr's voice out, hoping to get out from the influence. We're not finished with her yet. Don't mess with our toy. Those little voices that spoke as one would try again, not quite happy with giving over any control of the little toy that they'd influenced since she was young.

Though, Valkyr was an interesting character, and it was tempting, to let Thea go along with the offer, of the Pitt, somewhere where she would probably be more welcome with the violent tendencies and lack of empathy for others when it came to certain feelings, it wasn't someplace where Thea would have any power over Bucky's fate.

Go. GO. You're too far in this. Leave. You need to get rid of Bucky. Get rid of Bucky. Leave here. Go home, Thea. Those words finally jolted Thea out of it, and those broken sentences finally convinced her, raising her wings in an attempt to force Valkyr away, and take off into the air. "Maybe next time!"

A wing flew close to her face, and Tsuyu merely blinked, her blood bending losing its hold as her concentration broke. With a loud snarl, Tsuyu watched the whole confrontation go down, before she saw Thea take flight. "Oh no, ribbit. You aren't leaving without a wound." Tsu croaked out, pulling water out of her water bottle on her hip to let it form into an ice shard, pointed and rugged, before she shot it at Thea, attempting to hit her shoulder while she was midair.

"Come back when you have someone fucking noteworthy with you!" She snarled up to the sky, eyes narrowing before her hips gave in, Tsuyu's lower body hitting the ground. Fuck, her hips hurt.
