One man hesitated, seeing the futility of what they were doing, and Shadow Stalker took the opportunity to drop the shadow state.
Oh hey, someone with a brain.
She leaned out of the way of one desperate punch from the other man, then grabbed him. She seized him by the shirt-front, pulled him forward with a hard tug on his collar and a counterclockwise turn of her body, then brought her right knee into his ribs.
He fell with a splash.
Oof.
Metal kneepad, Flechette noted. That’s going to hurt.
Oh, absolutely.
The other man attacked, but Shadow Stalker went shadowy just long enough for his knife to pass through her, then slammed her metal mask into his face.
And thus came the inspiration for one of the most important scientific books of the 21st century: On the origin of headaches by Sophia Hess.
