We’ll never have another shot like this.

You going to ask Sundancer to bring the sun down on the bystanders Bonesaw is operating on, possibly by lying to her about them?

“No,” I said.  I even managed to sound convincing.  “No civilians!  Go!”

Sundancer is going to be so pissed if she finds out.

“Then tell me where to move it,”  Sundancer’s eyes were closed.  “I can’t see that far.”

Certainly not with your eyes closed. Is it that you can’t, or that you don’t want to?

“Out further, left, left, left,”  the miniature sun slid twenty or so feet with every order I gave as I tracked the enemy’s position and the movements of the orb with the binoculars.  “Short bit left and then out!”

Time to make them the Fellowship of the Roasted Meat.

I couldn’t look directly at the thing, but I saw Mannequin and Siberian wheel around as the blinding light of the orb caught their attention.  Mannequin ran, and Siberian lunged forward.

Wait, is “forward” here into the orb?

Siberian, your power makes you invulnerable to forces. I doubt it applies to heat.

The orb slid out into position around the mouth of the alley and then rolled over Jack, Bonesaw and Hatchet Face.

Man, if they survive this shit, then bravo, Bonesaw. Bravo.

“Report!” Tattetale’s voice came from the walkie-talkie.  “I don’t have visual.”
