He was able to spot the lone assailant around a corner, pushing another office worker to the ground.<br/><br/>Kaitlyn, meanwhile, came face to face with the receiving end of an aimed shotgun. Anyone less quick would’ve been hit, but she dove behind a nearby printer as Terry missed and blasted a nearby table.<br/><br/>“Don’t shoot!” Kaitlyn shouted. “We’re trying to save you from the people breaking in!”<br/><br/>“Get out of my office!” Terry shouted.<br/><br/>Manning with the gauntlet swore under his breath as he heard the gunshot. One of the civilians pointed north, to a meeting room with drawn curtains.<br/><br/>“There’s a safe, if that’s what you’re looking for.”<br/><br/>“Thanks,” he said to the employee. “But you’re coming with me.”<br/><br/>...<br/><br/>Amy felt a surge of panic and a sting of pain accompanying the loudness of the carbine’s burst-fire. She landed behind a nearby car, miraculously unharmed.<br/><br/>“Oh God oh God oh God,” she stammered. “Am I hit, am I-”<br/><br/>Her left suit sleeve was bloody, but a graze rather than a direct hit. Still, that wasn’t any less frightful to someone who’s being shot at.<br/><br/>...<br/><br/>“Okay now,<em>this is getting exciting!”</em>the metallic man exclaimed as he leaped up, his legs propelling him through the air like a hurled cannonball with two outstretched arms ending in fists. “Check me out, the flying Anvil!”<br/><br/>Leslie let out a scream as she saw him coming…<br/><br/>...and so did he.<br/><br/>“Holy shit!” he shouted. “You’re a girl!”<br/><br/>Anvil unballed his fists at the last second, opting to grab her instead. He was able to catch on something, but it was one of the plants growing on Leslie’s suit, causing him to smash through the billboard with nothing more than a fistful of moss and a face full of splintered wood. Leslie spawned a flurry of thorns to hit Anvil from behind, but they failed to penetrate his thick mineral flesh.<br/><br/>Amrita flew over Bryce as he was shooting at the car covering Amy. Instead of a more conventional attack she focused, entering his mind. She was only in for a split-second before her consciousness was repelled.<br/><br/><em>Get out!</em><br/><br/>Rakutsu quickly got another message from Amrita:<em>Wyvern, the blonde with the gauntlet’s a metahuman! He pushed me out of his mind with a greater than normal force! The other one may be similarly empowered!</em><br/><br/>It was good information to know, for Rakutsu was just about ready to strike before Manning could take a hostage.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Red Jade Owner Shotgun 20, miss (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=155463)<br/><br/>Battle Brother Bryce Assault Rifle 24 (Hornet), hit.

Several more shots rang out, the sounds of bullets making an impact on the car behind which she was hiding.<br/><br/><em>If the darts didn’t work, normal bug bites won’t do anything! Think Amy, think!</em><br/><br/>Then she recalled one of the gadgets given to her by Kaitlyn. Retrieving a small disc with a drawing of a smiling bee on it, she slid it across the ground beneath the car with great force. Her pursuer didn’t have time to spot the device before his foot stepped on it.<br/><br/>An explosion of pellets filled the air, falling to the asphalt in a rain of<em>clinks.</em>Peeking out, Amy saw Bryce lying on his back, momentarily stunned and gun out of his reach. But he got back up, albeit less quickly than before.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Chlorophyll Throwing Thorns 25 (Anvil), success.
