“What happened?” I asked Genesis, trying not to look at Grue.

She glanced between the two of us.  “Realized Mannequin was using a gas, got a form together to fight that and occupy him, like you recommended, but he wasn’t there when I reformed.  Burnscar was.”

Yeeeah. She kind of took everyone by surprise.

“Mannequin forfeited his turn.  Burnscar went up next,” I explained.

“Ah.”

“You manage to stop her?”  Grue asked.

I doubt it. Chase her away, maybe, but not stop her.

“No.  I wasn’t prepared to fight her, but she couldn’t really hurt me either.  She left.”

Ah, a stalemate.

“Can you get a body together to fight the fires?” I asked, hugging my arms against my chest.

Maybe one that spits large amounts of water?
