Plot
After spotting Taylor, an enraged Lung leaps from the street to the side of the building that she is on, and scales the structure through the use of his claws. Taylor waits for him at the edge of the roof near the fire escape, knowing that she can't outrun him and that a retreat down the fire escape would be too slow. She looks in her inventory for something useful: her emergency Epipen is useless and a pouch of chalk dust is potentially more dangerous for her than him. She settles on the pepper spray, which her father had gifted to her as a means of her self-defense for her morning runs.
The fire escape is Taylor's only hope of fleeing, but by the time Lung reaches the rooftop, he'll now where she went and run her down. Planning to slow him down, Taylor crouches by the rooftop's edge and awaits to use the pepper spray on him. Taylor sprays Lung (who is still on fire and heavily transformed) as soon as she sees his head peer over the edge, aiming for the eye she hadn't stung shut. Though the first shot misses, the second manages connect with its target even through the flames shielding him. Though affected by the spray, Lung manages to keep his grip on the rooftop and hauls himself over to reach the top.
With nothing left to use against Lung, and making a mental note to get a baton or knife for personal defense, Taylor attempts to flee for the fire escape, but Lung strikes her in the back with a wave of flame, sending her sprawling to the rooftop's edge. Lung, who is still blinded by the pepper spray, blindly launches a broad wave of flame over half of the rood in an attempt to kill her, forcing her to keep still as hold her breath. This doesn't last long however, as Lung's healing allows him to recover from the pepper spray quickly. Taylor braces from what she assumes is Lung moving to incinerate her, only to realize she he had been firing streams of flame towards the roof of an adjacent building. Suddenly, Lung is attacked by a massive beast that appeared to be a cross between a lizard and a tiger, and with tangles of muscle and bone in place of skin, scales or hair. The scuffle then causes both Lung and the creature to fall off of the roof and onto the street below.
Shaken, Taylor stands up and is met with a pair of two more beasts landing on the roof top with her
watching as he swiftly recovers from the pepper spray, she braces herself for the inevitable. She's saved when a massive animal the size of a van hits Lung, putting him on his knees. The ensuing brawl sees the creature and Lung falling from the edge of the roof.
Two more creatures similar to the first one arrive to the rooftop, each with a pair of riders, two girls and two guys. They dismount and introduce themselves: Grue, Tattletale, Bitch (that the good guys and media call Hellhound) and Regent. They reveal that when they heard that Lung planned to attack them that night they decided to meet him halfway, but they found only Lee, Lung's Lieutenant, and half dozen members of the Azn Bad Boys. The fight was short and Lee retreated.
Taylor is silent throughout this exchange, noticing this Grue asks if Taylor is hurt but is interrupted by Tattletale saying the reason for her silence is her shyness.
Lung suffers in the ensuing fight against Bitch's creatures, which are revealed to be dogs, half blind and suffering from the insect venom, he winds up losing. Tattletale informs everyone present that a cape is coming, Bitch summons her dogs and they get mounted. Grue offers Taylor a ride, but she refuses, and the group departs.
In the wake of all this, processing the information the group had just shared, Taylor realises that these teenaged villains were the "kids" that Lung was talking about killing. Further, the teenagers had left with the impression that she was one too. Taylor feels like crying.

- She also reveals that she knew Taylor was a hero the entire time, she also saw similarities between the way Taylor was acting and her brother, Rex, who commited suicide.<ref>Scourge 19.7</ref>
- In Coil's other timeline, the Undersiders arrived earlier and Taylor attempted to attack both groups at once, which caused both Taylor and the Undersiders to lose.
