I wanted to apologize for not having a better power to help this person, but the breath would have been wasted. It was hard work to help him along, to slog through the water.
Maybe if Taylor had found someone with the power to make animals grow or shrink to team up with, she could control a swarm of giant bugs to pick up wounded or fallen capes.
The fight was ongoing, with a dozen heroes in Leviathan’s vicinity, more than twenty others shooting at him from range whenever there was a clear shot.
pew pew pew
Yet more were on the fringes, to keep him from slipping past the combatants and to take the place of the fallen.
Ah, yeah, there’s been a bit of an “only a few at a time” mentality going on here.
It wasn’t enough – the damage we were doing was negligible and his long strides were advancing him further and faster than the rest of us could back away through the water. Trash and debris threatened to trip us up with every step we took.
Water is notoriously slow to move through, especially when it’s getting above your knees.
He forced a fighting retreat, moving quickly and often enough to avoid being caught by any concentrated fire.
Coddamn speedsters…
