"Poor Scaramouche found out what I was planning. I had to kill her."

"You lying, murderous son of a bitch-"
Megan ran at Adrian, hands blazing.

Adrian kicked Megan off of him, and her hands clenching his cape caused it to suddenly detach itself with a sound like a latch coming undone and fall to the floor, smothering the flames almost entirely. He stamped out the remaining fire, seized Megan by the wrists, and wrenched her up to look him in the eye.
"Do you mind? The adults are talking."

Adrien screamed again at the fire and hurried down the steps.

Dan rushed over and pulled Megan away from Adrian, standing between them "Megan, control yourself please."
He looked back at Adrian "Who would have believed her? It would have been tabloid fodder for sure, but no one would have taken her seriously. Why kill her? Why resort to that?"

Megan, gasping and clutching at her side where she'd been kicked, dragged herself up the ramp toward the chair where Adrian had been sitting when they arrived, still glaring daggers at him.

Adrian pulled Adrien toward himself, more gentle than he'd been with him all night, and looked at Rorschach.
"I can think of at least one person," he said dryly. "Which is, of course, why I needed you out of the way."

"Sorry to disappoint you," Rorschach snarled, rushing at him.

Adrien clung in fright, not thinking in the heat of the moment that being in between Adrian and Rorschach was a bad idea.

Adrian automatically pushed Adrien aside and attacked Rorschach in response.

Dan too came at him, kicking toward his ribs.

He tripped back on the steps, beginning to very nearly hyperventilate.
