a: First screams | Near the pool party, at the beginning
Iris had thought this would be her chance to take a break. Things have been... well. ‘Not good’, to put it simply. First the accident, then the trickle down of memories that made her realize exactly what happened to Clarus back home, then the failure in the barrier when she had been camping… there’s just a long list of weird stuff going on. So she had thought a pool party was the best way to charge batteries, to go back to her old self, to see the glass half-full.
But the only thing attending the pool party accomplished was that she is now running around trying to defend herself while wearing a cover up over a swimsuit, which is definitely not ideal. She’s not fighting the creatures, not yet anyway, she’s simply trying to reach the next house over to try to find something to defend herself with, bit doing so while trying to dodge the invaders is proving to be pretty hard.
“Take cover!” She will yell to anyone in her way, possibly while jumping over them. But if whoever gets on her way looks weak or like they can’t defend themselves she will definitely go out of her way to try to protect them or bring them somewhere safe.
b; Gonna kick some pokemon ass | Around the city, the first day
Once she’s managed to get to her house and change clothes… well, she’s not going to just sit and wait this out. Not when she saw so many people in danger, so many people who couldn’t defend themselves. She’s not a fan of projectile weapons- she’s not a fan of weapons at all, but it’s very clear her fist aren’t going to help in this situation. So she made do with what she found in the kitchen.
She’s carrying some knives, but she doesn’t seem to be jumping to attack the invaders carelessly. She was trained as much as her father would allow, yes, but part of that training is knowing when you shouldn’t jump into battle recklessly. Especially when you’re on your own.
“Hey!” She will yell (or whisper, if the person is hiding) to anyone who seems to need help. “Come with me! I’ll show you a safe place.”
Sadly, as the night goes on she becomes more tired... which in turn makes her more and more reckless. It’s only a matter of time before one of them got a hold of her, and eventually she lets out a pretty loud scream as one of them hit the back of her leg during one of her parkour-style jumps over the invaders. Luckily for her the invader seems distracted by attacking someone else so she manages to run slash crawl into a hiding place, but if anyone spots her... it’s very obvious she’s in pain.
“I… may need a little help.” She tells to anyone who approaches.
c; The other kind of shield | The hospital, after the first night
After that no one will allow her to go back to fighting the invaders, and she respects it. It takes her a few moments, but soon she’s just as determined to help in the safe haven Cain and others had set up in the hospital as she was to fight against the monsters.
She’s slow, her leg is all bandaged up and sometimes she will need to grab the crutches, but overall she isn’t letting most people see how much pain she’s in and she keeps trucking along.

“Are you hurt? How can I help?”
