[ Juni is Juni and she's properly Enraged! They're gonna get wrecked.
When at last it comes down to herself and one remaining Villain, Juniper flourishes her giant net, even twirling it a bit in an act of intimidation! In spite of his brave threat a moment ago, he squeaks and shrinks in the face of this display.
It would be much too easy to strike him down now...
But just beyond where he stands, Juniper sees V and Mister Doggy at the light at the end of the alleyway. With V catching his breath, and Mister Doggy waiting faithfully (for another piece of jerky).
Ah, in the heat of battle, she completely lost track of her comrades... Her quest... Mister Doggy's owner, who must be worried sick, waiting for her precious Mister Doggy to be returned to her... And V, who's waiting for her, as infallible of a party member as always. How could she take him for granted...!? ]
I...
[ Fingers loosening in her grasp, the net clatters uselessly to the ground. ]
I'm standing down. But you're going to let me and my friend go and return Mister Doggy to his family, or else!
[ The Villain squeaks again and before he can properly respond, Juniper is shoving past him and making her way to V and Mister Doggy, already producing another piece of jerky from her little bag with one hand and then reaching out for V's shoulder with the other. ]
[An enemy encounter thoroughly dealt with. They should be proud!
And it's promising to hear a sudden dearth of scuffling, with Juni's voice echoing down the alleyway in a victorious manner. V assumes that means their battle has been won; not that he expected any other outcome.
The doggy happily takes the jerky treat when she returns, and V turns to look at her with a smile once she claps a hand on his shoulder.]
Darting to and fro is something of a workout for me in this world. [He heaves out a chuckle.] But the exercise is sometimes welcome.
[In other words, he's just fine!]
I take it you defeated those cads without any issue at all.
[ Somewhere behind her, the three animal control employees are collecting themselves, confusedly muttering amongst themselves about what the hell just happened, which is honestly so valid and fair of them.
Juniper, meanwhile, is smoothing her clothes, patting some dust from the fight cloud off of her pants. ]
I made a very convincing case for why they should let us go and reunite Mister Doggy with his owner!
[ Mister Doggy barks, giving a full-body shake after inhaling the jerky. Doesn't Juniper see the blue collar? Mister Doggy is a Miss Doggy! ]
We should get going, before they change their mind!
[No... they did not... Because they are Dumb when they combine their powers.]
Oh, I'm sure you did. I could hear it from all the way down here. Good job, Juni.
[A+ violence.]
All right, let's be off, then. No point in lingering when we can at least bring one of them back to their proper homes.
[And maybe it helps that V is an animal person, or maybe Miss Doggy is just good-natured and liable to follow them if they urge her. Either way, V coos at her to follow and... Well, she does! Tail wagging, tongue lolling in that happy dog-like way.

Are you all right, V?

(She probably just wants more jerky.)]
