His anger didn't even register. And the truth was she would just throw it right back. Yes this was reckless, yes it was stupid. But sometimes human instincts kicked in in a fight, and even though she was in the chair? She saw that this was the only way. He would have been attacked if she hadn't gotten there.
He started reading again, the demons stopping, she tossed more holy water on them... and then it happened. It was going fine, and then she heard something and swung around in a loop to try and find where it was. But there wasn't anything there. Instincts from long ago kicked in and she covered herself, hearing something but not seeing anything, but it was too late. Something came up behind her and slammed into her, but she couldn't see anything. She could hear it though... a dog. A huge dog.
Barbara was thrown to the pavement before there was anything that she could do about it, the chair was too far to get back into. She tried desperately to get the holy water back, but couldn't and she felt something digging into her, claws. The pain was intense and she closed her eyes, trying to block it out like Bruce had taught her a million years ago, but she couldn't and she felt teeth on her arm, letting out a painful not-quite-scream. There wasn't anything there.
