When Shadow Stalker had disappeared from view, Flechette remembered she was supposed to follow.
…I think Flechette was just genuinely Distracted by the Sexy.
Do we perhaps have a lesbian or bi character here? 🙂
She cocked her arbalest, flipped a switch beneath the trigger while sending a burst of her power through her weapon to connect the chain to the ammunition, and then fired a needle with an attached chain to the edge of the rooftop.
Hm. So what exactly does your power entail?
The needle bit deep, and the chain went taut. A second later, she was reeling in. The pull of the chain wasn’t quite enough to carry her straight to the rooftop, but the pull of the chain coupled with her ability to plant her cleats into the face of the building and run up the building face let her reach the edge of the roof.
A bit of momentum, one hand and her cleats gave her what she needed to hop over the roof’s edge.
Not bad! Not quite as cool as Shadow Stalker’s ninja moves, but still neat.
Running across the rooftop, she used her index finger to flip the switch, severing the chain, then reconnected the chain to the next piece of ammunition as her free hand loaded it into place. It took her a second to spot the vague blur that was Shadow Stalker, almost three buildings ahead of her. The girl was practically gliding as she fell, moving more horizontally than vertically.
Nice. Shadow Stalker would make a good satellite. Though I doubt NASA would cooperate.
