Alexis was taken aback by the vampire's appearance, but the encounter with Valkenhayn had made her especially cautious, which soon proved warranted, although even that didn't entirely prepare her for the loss of gravity. Fighting to get a steady aim, she caught sight of Andrew as he fired his gun, propelling himself backwards. She needed a corner, something to provide her with a surface to both a stable aiming platform, and a cushion for the recoil of her rifle. Catching some of the debris, she pulled herself forwards, propelling herself away from the vampire towards towards the ground. As she approached she twisted her body, and taking care to note the positions of the others, fired in the general direction of the vampire. The recoil pushed her into the corner, where she braced herself, catching what she could to stop herself bouncing away again. Carefully setting herself in position, she aimed a second shot, this time taking care to aim properly, and fired again, this time at Charles' head.
