Amy was incredibly distrustful of this woman in the white snow outfit, even before she spoke, but when she did, Amy visibly cringed, her face, thankfully hidden by the helmet, growing several shades paler. She reached out for the woman's thoughts, as she moved behind Arrow, assuming he let her down.

The woman smiled, obviously amused that she scared these two.

"What, do I frighten the two walking tanks? How funny." She was mocking their armor. "I'm Frost, or so I'm called. I have a... Very special skillset." She was obviously upset by this fact, as she frowned before smiling and continuing. "Are you here to help, or are you just going to hide behind each other like that? Come, we have monsters to deal with." The woman now known as Frost would kick through the frozen infected, causing a hole to be broken through them, allowing her to pass.

(Yes, Arrow set Amy down.)

Amy didn't think It was all that funny herself, she felt it was warranted. If the woman was capable of killing the infected, who knew what else she had up her sleeve. The name, as well as her accent, led her to believe perhaps, that this woman worked for John. Then again. She was irrationally afraid of Russian accents. She was still listening for the woman's thoughts.

I don't trust her

Neither do I. Arrow agreed.

Frost was clearly annoyed in her thoughts. Stupid John and his damn Eternalists, trying to create a new world. I thought I was free, right? I thought I had escaped him and his laboratory of freaks. We had a deal, that he'd leave me alone. No, no. Of course he comes to destroy the entire continent I'm hiding on. He comes to replace the regular people, and he intends to repeat it with the world. He is crazy.

Amy frowned. she's like us... That didn't mean she trusted her. An experiment, she dislikes John.. What she didn't know yet, was if this woman's strings were still being pulled by him.

Arrow tilted his head. Really? That might be good news. Then again, Lektry and some of John's other Experiments were like them, too. The woman continued to grumble within the confines of her mind. I've tried to stay out of their way, and do my own thing. I've let them go about their way, and stayed hidden. Now they come to kill everyone, though. That I cannot except. I will stop them now, he has broken his promise by using those stupid SET soldiers to kill people. The Red stuff, and the fast one, and the one of many. So she had apparently already met Infection, BUG, and Hologram. To say nothing of The Reaper yet. Arrow started to walk slowly, following the woman in case he could help eliminate anymore threats.

Amy frowned. She believes SET was involved in this... she's not in cahoots with John, but she still may be a danger...

She looked over her shoulder once, before she followed after Arrow, hesitantly. She wondered what had become of the men they'd left behind. Though she'd not been close to Austin or Red, their 'deaths' weighed heavily on her. And what of that soldier that had come to them? Likely he was dead as well. She would morn in the silence and protection of her helmet.

Who doesn't? Arrow asked sarcastically. Death was something that was a touchy subject for Arrow. Rex had woken up before the scientists brainwashed him and turned him into their personal assassin. He had broken out and woken up many more Experiments before they had memories implanted into them as well. Unfortunately, only two of them survived. Arrow and Amy. The memory of the bloody escape from the frozen hell was something that Arrow was reminded of whenever someone died. Even so, he became a tiny bit more callus to death each time he witnessed it, even though it was still painful to watch.

Frost looked behind her and smiled. "Oh good! You have decided to help me after all. Those stupid SET Cyborgs are a pain, eh? I know what you are, don't worry. I will help you, even if you are the successors to the people who made those things."

It snowed where they walked, and there were less infected here. No sign of the Cyborgs or John yet, with the exception of Infection, who was obviously busy trying to spread. Frost did a good job of freezing the crimson tendrils on sight, but they were growing more and more courageous each time they came out.

Amy relaxed just slightly, at the thought that women knew who they were, and hadn't attacked them. Still, if nothing else, her accent terrified Amy. It was not likely she would be friendly, no matter how awesome this woman turned out to be.

Amy sent out a horrid, high pitched frequency wail, hoping to stop some in their tracks, she assumed it would be easier to kill them, if shey weren't moving.

Arrow worked in tandem with Amy's wail, using his lasers to shoot at anything crimson. Frost enjoyed their partnership, and froze the tendrils before they could escape, trying to get away from Amy's high-pitched noise. This allowed Arrow to shoot more accurately.

Amy would only get involved physically if she had too, She did have a gun manifested, and trained on the area around them, but she was hesitant to shoot it. One of her greatest flaws, she did not like violence, on top of that, her aim was horrible, what if she shot Arrow accidentally?!

Amy didn't need to worry about accidentally shooting Arrow. SET armor was designed to prevent friendly fire. Auto-aim reticules also appeared within Amy's helmet, telling her where to point her gun to fire accurately. Based on weather conditions, gun type, wind speed, and everything else, of course. Arrow and Frost continued to attack the Infection before it could hurt anyone else, taking advantage of Amy's noise.

Given that Amy's suit was doing all the work for her, she would begin to pick off any infected that strayed too close to Arrow. or Frost.

Eventually the Infection gave up on attacking the area... For now. Frost turned to Amy and Arrow with a grateful smile. "I appreciate your kindness. I now go to try and find more enemies, eh? Soon I will freeze the entire crimson blob! And his friends. Good bye for now, SET. I hope to meet you again sometime. Hopefully we'll be on the same team then, too. Huh?" She laughed, and then disappeared in a cloud of snow and ice.

Amy watched the woman go, with a mixture of surprise, and relief. The woman set her on edge, it was much easier to think and the like, when she wasn't present. She recalled the weapon, and dropped onto a rock, disengaging her helmet. She was tired, and depressed. She hated herself for having to leave the men to die.

Arrow, instead of stopping to rest when Frost left, grabbed Amy's hand suddenly. We have to get out of here now. A man brave enough to walk out into the street to see what was going on was nearly hit by a poorly aimed laser. His shirt was burned, and he turned, cursed at the SET soldier, and ran back inside.

Not what Arrow saw. He continued to fire lasers at invisible targets, and ran, still holding Amy's hand. They were being chased by evil... Whatever it was he saw.

Amy could see nothing, but allowed him to pull her along. What on earth is going on Arrow?! She reengaged the helmet.

Arrow didn't bother to answer, but continued to shoot at invisible enemies, who threatened him. He was clearly seeing things, a possible mental breakdown of his own sort. Eventually, he let go of Amy, and gripped his head, falling to his knees. What was real, and what was memory?

When he fell to his knees, Amy did the only thing she could think to do. She dropped to her knees in front of him, and embraced him, like he had for her, during her moment of weakness. We're okay Arrow..We're safe for now.Her own body shook, with the overwhelming fear of being touched in any way. But she would get over it. He had to be okay. She was screwed on her own.
