There was a brief pause in the gunfire, then a single shot fired.  Sparks marked the ricochet between his shoulder, the back of his hand, and the armor that rose behind his head.

Pew cling clang cleang cloing…

He dropped to one knee with a suddenness that suggested he was wounded.

If, again, the redhead has ballerina powers, it makes sense that it would come with great coordination. That might extend to knowing exactly where to aim the gun to get a good ricochet.

Come to think of it, Flechette would probably have a pretty good idea of that too.

I hurried to the wall.  I could use my bugs to find my way through the maze, getting a sense of the layout, but I needed something faster.

Hm… like Lisa, maybe?

Labyrinth was using her power and adjusting the battlefield with every passing second.  The way things were, given how she wasn’t aware of who I was, I was included among her enemies.

Yep.

If I didn’t go now and the battle resolved one way or the other, I might lose my window of opportunity to get Bryce.

Better hurry.
