Paranoia?
Oh man, yes, that’s a good one! Everyone’s afraid of the rest attacking them, and either hiding so they can’t, or making sure to attack first. And this way, people won’t be able to cooperate well, which has been one of the biggest problems the Nine have faced in this city.
Weld, who I identified by his lack of a costume and the metal growths on his shoulders, was standing with his back to a wall. His hands were blunt weapons, and he was swinging them through the air to threaten anyone who approached.
“Don’t you dare!”
“No, don’t you dare!”
A small figure who could only be Vista was backing away from two adults. She got too close to Legend, and he fired a spray of laser blasts at her.
Hm. Can she do much to stop those with her power?
I suppose she could make space do a little twist and redirect the lasers, but this is Legend. He can just twist them right back.
None hurt her or penetrated her costume, but she staggered and fell.
Also lasers are fast. If fictional lasers were as fast as they physically should be, you wouldn’t be able to see them before they hit you.
