My bugs told me we were close to Lisa, Charlotte, Jaw and Senegal. I caught Minor’s attention and pointed, and he put Bryce down long enough to give me a boost up to the top of the wall that stood between us.
Nice.
I straddled the wall and waited for Brooks and Minor to figure out how to get Bryce up to me so I could pass him down to the others.
Hm. Any particular reason you want to do this? Just so you can have only one or two people taking the long way around?
From my vantage point, I could see more of the battle unfolding on the far side of the mall.
One powered Merchant charged Faultline and collapsed through the ground she had strategically weakened.
Huh, that’s a neat use of her power.
She kicked him several times in the face before the next member of Skidmark’s group tried to take her on, drawing and pointing a gun.
The great equalizer… but Faultline can just cut it in half, can’t she?
Faultline drew her feet apart, and then dropped through the floor of the platform in a spray of splinters.
…alright. Won’t that just put her next to the first Merchant cape, though?
To her right, the red-headed woman was striding towards Scrub. He aimed a shot and missed by a fraction, and she didn’t even flinch.
Badass.
Another try, another miss. As she got close, he let his power go haywire, and a dozen flashes erupted in close vicinity to him. None touched her.
This seems to be far more than just agility.
She had her gun drawn, but she didn’t shoot him. Instead, she grabbed him by the collar, then wrenched him to one side so he tipped over the side of the platform and fell the twenty or so feet to the ground below.
See ya.
It wasn’t enough of a fall to guarantee that he was out of the fight, but she seemed confident enough to turn away and move on to the next target before he’d even finished falling.
Out of the fight or not, it’s going to take him a little bit of time to get back up, and his range seems to be relatively short. 15 feet, maybe?
It’s worth noting that he does seem to be getting better at controlling it now.
