Vista and Flechette moved to positions just behind and to either side of Weld. The group blocked Crawler’s view of Glory Girl.
Miss Militia directed the adult heroes with a series of short commands and hand signals. Ursa and Assault led the way with Miss Militia, Prism, Battery and Triumph following, clearly aiming to flank Crawler and close the distance between them and Mannequin.
So the adults are on either side of him now, while the kids stand right in his path.
Somehow that feels a bit backwards.
Crawler spat, and Vista used her power, reducing the distance the spit traveled to a tenth of what it might have been.
Sweet!
Crawler leaped, and she widened the distance between him and everyone else so he stood in the midst of a clearing.
I really, really like Vista’s power. 😀
Flechette fired a bolt straight into Crawler. It penetrated his face and stuck there. Little surprise on that front; I’d seen her stick Leviathan with one of those giant needles.
Hm. So will he regenerate so that the bolt eventually falls out?
Crawler’s face bubbled around the wound where it was rejecting the foreign object. Almost imperceptibly, it began to slide out.
Yep. And “eventually” implies too much time.
