"Good," she nodded at Chloro. "Sorry, I can't take care of you. I'll take you over there."
She tried to pull Chloro onto her back, and if Chloro refused to be carried, she'd have to leave her there and let her walk to the area she pointed by herself. Unfortunately, there was too much going on for her to to be able to slowly walk an injured person out of the area. There ended up being less civilians running around than she expected, so there wasn't much reason for her to be here anymore. Alina would be able to clear the area with little issue without her help. If Chloro accepted her help, she'd deposit the other faunus at the entrance to the cafe she indicated.
Before heading back to finding the killer, she noticed there was someone buried under some more rubble in the cafe, and someone leaning over that person trying to provide some kind of first aid. She wasn't sure what happened, but the woman looked really pale. Making a pit stop to get the debris off of her wouldn't cost her that much time considering she could just leave the cafe through the nearby wall. So, she did the same thing she did with Chloro: ran up to the debris, touched as much of it as she quickly could, and had it phase into the floor. She didn't say anything, just waved and disappeared through the wall. There wasn't time to explain. Right now, she needed to track down the killer again.
Or at least that was her plan. She could still see the killer in the distance. He was moving fast and between the delay from being momentarily stunned from the car explosion, and then having to move out of the way of something he threw behind him to slow her down (with very unfortunate timing because she had just landed, which meant if she tried to phase through it she would have gotten her feet stuck in the ground), he managed to get a considerable head start. Maybe they could lure him--
Her thoughts were interrupted by a familiar voice taunting the Grimm. She felt like she should have been less surprised that Nina was trying to have some kind of conversation with the Grimm, even if it was just a taunt. Did Grimm even talk? Whatever. Drawing a horde away like this wasn't even necessary given the area was...mostly clear for Alina. The people with aura could take a little heat. For the time being, she decided to give Nina the benefit of the doubt and assumed the shark faunus had some kind of plan.
That turned out to be a mistake. Fortunately for Nina, the path she needed to run down to chase after the killer happened to be the same one Nina took moments prior. Thus, Sienna was able to see her backed into a corner with a panicked look on her face. Sienna's eyes widened, and she skidded on the heels of her shoes to try and suddenly change directions. Lunar was there and seemed to be holding her own, but Sienna didn't have time to think about there. There were a few people in this world that would make her drop about anything to help. Nina was one of them, even if she was still kind of mad at her for going to Haven.
With Nina cornered like this, she didn't really have time to think about the repercussions of her actions and did the first thing that came to mind. Walls might have been impassable to most people, but to her they were merely a suggestion. She bolted between the Geists, threw her arm around Nina's torso so that Nina's stomach would hit her elbow, and hoisted Nina off the ground as well as she could manage with such an awkward angle. As long as Nina didn't try to squirm away, they'd be touching, so they could run face first through the wall and leave some confused Geists to Lunar. Hopefully before they possessed the wall.
Once Sienna's feet hit the ground, she shifted Nina in her arms to carry her princess style rather than whatever the hell she was doing before. Only then did she realize what she just did and that she was still running towards the killer while carrying her friend. Her eyes widened and her face turned a little pink. She unlocked her semblance in Menagerie, so Nina would at least be aware of it, but that was probably pretty disorientating still. She hoped her friend wasn't too mad.
"Sorry! You seemed...stuck." Despite the apology, she didn't stop. Her mind was still on one track. "Wait, you live in the Cloud District right? The Dust Ward Killer's headed that direction. Do you have any idea where he might be going?"
She made a point of knowing large parts of the city very well, but the Cloud District wasn't one of those areas. She doubted she'd ever spend much time up there, so she didn't bother to scope it out as well as she did the Wind and Ground Districts. If they could barely even slow this guy down by having a car hit him and then explode, then they were going to need to get creative if they wanted to take him down. If Nina had any knowledge at all about the area, then it might be easier to coordinate something.
