“Wards!”  Weld hollered.  “Crawler and Mannequin, like we discussed!  Close ranks around Victoria!”

I’m all for Weld having a speaking role.

So now that everyone’s out, it’s time for team tactics. Let’s see what they’ve got in mind!

His words broke the spell that the scene had over Vista and Flechette.  Surprising that there were so few Wards here, on a level.  Kid Win wasn’t in sight, nor was Chariot, and Clockblocker was under the sway of his own powers.

Yeah, this was optional.

Shadow Stalker, Aegis, Gallant and Browbeat were dead or gone.

Right, Browbeat… moved, was it, when his family evacuated? As for Shadow Stalker, that’s a story you’re quite personally familiar with, ain’t it, Taylor? 😉 Though not as familiar as you think.

The final sorta-maybe member of their group, Glory Girl, was being eaten alive by Crawler’s acid.

…wait, hang on. If the acid doesn’t keep the shield down, could it reform around Victoria, keeping some of the acid in? That would be bad for any attempts to save her.
