Then he shrugged, and my heart fell.
“Eh. This is getting too complicated and I’ve got a time limit. Let’s just get this over with.”
Three things happened all at once. The first and most painfully obvious was that I got shot full in the chest.
Time to finally answer that old questio–
Wait a minute.
We do actually know that already. Miss Militia shot her in Parasite, and if I’m not mistaken, the bullets went through – so it’s not bulletproof, at least in the softer areas.
…let’s hope this hit the harder parts.
The second was that I realized Grue was using his power to shroud us in darkness. He’d probably started the second Mannequin shrugged.
Nice, throwing off the aim, maybe. Though apparently Grue’s power doesn’t work against Mannequin’s senses, so… maybe he’s trying to ward off the worst of the explosion that’s probably the third thing that’s happening?
The third was the explosion.
