I pulled the pin free, then dropped it straight down.
Easy as, uh, dropping a grenade!
Wind carried the grenade further than I expected. It landed somewhere a few feet behind Cache, rolled, then detonated. The car that had been propped up against Cache was thrown off, rolling onto its roof.
I think that’s a success!
How did Weld and Mannequin take that?
The other debris scattered.
I felt a wave of relief that I hadn’t managed to hit them with the grenade just as they came out of stasis.
That would be… less of a success.
Mannequin backed away from Weld to stare up at me. Weld, for his part, had absorbed the metal of the chains and disconnected the excess from his body.
Oh, so he did get stuck to the chains. Fair enough, that settles my concerns on that front! That just leaves the question of why the cars don’t get stuck on his blades (or vice versa).
When he reshaped his hands into weapons, it was faster than I’d seen him do it during our attack on the PRT headquarters.
Hm. Practice? Holding back before? Or perhaps this situation has put him in a state of mind similar to his trigger event somehow and that made the shapeshifting more powerful and thus faster?
