I suppose if Trickster were to look up from his rifle and could see Crawler approaching Grue and Ballistic, he could also move Crawler away from them. Replace him with part of a building or something.
Part four of the plan? Avoid direct confrontation.
Ah, yeah. Direct confrontations haven’t gone great so far.
“Trickster,” Grue said, the one word buzzing over the walkie-talkies.
Oh hey, looks like I was onto something!
Crawler disappeared, and an empty pickup truck toppled from the edge of the roof to the ground.
Nice.
Crawler was back in the vicinity of the other Nine, not far from Sundancer’s burning orb. Blocks away from Grue and Ballistic.
I would imagine he’s immune to intense heat by now, so at least it probably isn’t going to make him stronger.
The monster lunged after Grue and Ballistic again, and was supported this time by Shatterbird, who conjured up a storm of glass shards to pelt the pair. Ballistic retaliated by firing a warhead at Shatterbird, who prematurely detonated the explosive with a thick cluster of glass, shielding herself against the worst of the blast with another wall.
This would look awesome in motion.
She drew more walls around herself and maintained her assault.
And here I thought Assault was Battery’s.
