Newter’s tail encircled the vial before she could drop it, and he flicked it into his left hand.

One out of five, nice work.

An instant later, he was racing for the stage, almost casually finding stepping stones as he made a beeline for Skidmark and the rest of the group.  He was going for the case and the vials.

Woo, go Newter!

Though of course it’s not going to be that easy. And to as if to ensure that narrative near-certainty, there are still eight parahumans on the stage, though one of them can’t control his power yet.

But hey, we’ve still got a couple more Faultliners who haven’t shown their stuff yet in this chapter.

Much of the crowd was running after Newter, rushing for the base of the stage and climbing the heaps of rubble to follow.

Ah, right, looks like the mundanes in the crowd aren’t afraid of trying to stop Newter too.

In doing so, they were vacating the center of the mall where the casualties lay.  I hated to get closer to the chaos, but I suspected it would be a long time before I had a better chance to find and retrieve Bryce.

…good point, that is still the main objective of this outing.
