But his use of his power gave me another idea. Glory Girl had powers too.
Yeah, but how would you use them to evacuate her?
“Can she fly!?” I shouted.
It somehow managed to slip my mind that that’s one of them.
“What?” Weld asked. He glanced up at me, then turned his attention back to the fight. His body was tensed and ready to act the second Crawler made a move for his teammates.
I don’t think this is quite what Taylor is going for, but I’m thinking that – like how I suggested that a side effect of Cache’s power might be being “hollow” – anyone with flight might, as a passive side effect, be lighter than they should be.
It seems Taylor is going for Glory Girl actively using her flight to help out the evacuation, even if she can’t fully lift off on her own.
“Ask her if she can fly!”
“She’s insensate!”
Insensate. Good word.
“Try!”
He turned back to the superheroine and said something I couldn’t make out.
“Uhh… can you fly?”
If she responded, I didn’t hear it.
Weld extended his arms into two long poles. They extended ten feet, then fifteen, then thirty. Reaching back, he caught Glory Girl with the ends, bending the tips to encircle her body.
Nice! Metal “tentacles”!
“Wait!” I said.
He glanced up at me, then over at Crawler. The villain was spitting at Assault, who slid on the ground to evade the spray. Crawler took advantage of the gap in the defensive wall to stampede toward Vista and Flechette.
Shit. Vista, do your thing!
Vista increased the distance, but not as fast as Crawler crossed it.
Well, at least she listened to me. That’s a change of pace. :p
