Good runner, but I’m faster.
Shadow Stalker didn’t need to slosh through the water, but she knew she would be faster than the other girl even if she did.
She wasn’t on the track and field team for nothing.
It wasn’t just her shadow state eliminating wind resistance, or the lightness of her body. She was a trained runner.
Yep.
She bounded from one wall of the alley to the one opposite, staying above the water, pursuing her target.
Skitter was going up the steps of a fire escape. Shadow Stalker aimed and fired a bolt – the girl ducked, and the shot clipped a railing instead.
Skitter and fire escapes have a poor relation from before, but it looks like she’s giving them a second chance.
Good reflexes. Shadow Stalker brushed away at the bugs massing around her. Or do your bugs help you watch what I’m doing? Disturbing little freak.
Little bit of both, I think.
