His tongue flitted out to dab at his lips as she departed, Cornell sighing with the gesture. He turned to face the Shredder fully, king of Harlem meeting grandmaster of the Foot for the first time, the former giving the latter a once-over followed by a courteous nod. He turned back to look out over the balcony, expression thoughtful.
"In a couple minutes this place'll be swarming with pigs. Gonna need to be here, handle some legal shit, then I'll go to ground for awhile. Nothin they can pin back on us though. This attack was... Unprecedented."
In a rare occurrence, he actually lost his wording for a moment, shaking his head.
"Thing took out all four those boys of yours. There'll be a line of inquiry for what they were doing here, but s'okay. This thing devolved into chaos real fast. Gonna be a lot of confused accounts as to what showed up when and on whose behalf."
Shredder placed his hand upon the railing, staring out with a warriors perspective. Hand to hand primarily, with a savagery and methodology that he could piece together with a glance. Regarding his minions, Shredder said coolly.
"That will not be necessary. The Foot are used to hiding our presence...And what fails to kill us, merely leaves themselves open for when we plunge our knife into their backs.

He glanced back towards the four Foot ninja who had bravely, but ill-fatedly, engaged the beast, their bodies strewn out viscerally for all to see. In a turn of events, it appeared the one who'd been netted was still alive, albeit out from the pain and breathing shallowly; His training and a concealed knife had allowed him to cut away some slack for himself in the constricting net, enough that it didn't rupture anything vital. There'd be a grid pattern on his face not likely to heal any time soon if he pulled through, though.
At the sight, Cottonmouth actually guffawed and shook his head. They made 'em tough in Shredder's crew, he could say that much.
They fought bravely and without hesitation. Shredder himself leaped right off over the side, into the club proper with a poise and ease that showed he didn't wear the armor strictly for intimidation purposes. He himself, even as more ninjas came to remove traces of evidence of their presence here cut away the rest of the net, giving those to the proper specialists....They would analyze that in Stockman industries. To the lone survivor, he said simply.
"You fought with the spirit of the Foot Clan and your brothers will be avenged by us in turn. Rest, recover...You and I will have much to discuss, when you are properly healed."
He waved a hand and stepped away as others moved in to take him away. Even in defeat, they were not broken and their bonds were stronger then any amount of money. That was why the Foot Clan remained strong.
Turning back , he ascended back up the stairs and allowed the genin to escort their fallen brother away.
To Mr. Stokes, as soon as he was close he said without preamble.
"I will keep a contingent of my warriors in hiding here....Though I believe now is the time to dispatch that project we discussed, to flush out our current problems. May I tempt you to join me as my guest, Mr. Stokes in the interim?"

A part of him hated that Alopex guessed who he was underneath the armor. Then again like it or not she was trained as a ninja too, who are suppose to pick up details and traits from the others. Beside that this disguise didn't conceal his three fingered gloved hands. Now that he thought it, any Foot chump could figure out that they're dealing with one of the Turtles. Having fought each for quite some time, you learn things about your enemies.
So when this Foot pet starts blabbing about not wanting to fight, he was disappointed but curious nonetheless. He raised an suspicious eyebrow when she asked that they could talk. Taking off his helmet, letting Alopex see his doubting expression in full detail before replying.
"This better be legit foxy, because if I as much smell bullshit from ya, we're going have problems."
"I wish to establish a private meeting, between me and your master, Hamato Yoshi." She said swiftly, tail flicking in response as the sounds of the city and the rumble of the approaching storm filled the air. She exhaled nervously, before adding.
"Before the Foot notice my absence."
