But Dizzy more than made up for her less than stellar opening with a flurry of well-timed blows dispatching the security guards. In mere seconds it was over for them.<br/><br/>All save for their short-haired leader, who was able to recover quick enough from the flying car (which turned out to be a rusted junker; Scarab would never wreck someone's<em>working</em>vehicle). Without any shouts of vengeance or fancy moves she aimed down the sights at Scarab.<br/><br/>"I'm fin-aaah!"<br/><br/>Scarab was hit with a barrage of automatic bullets from an unexpected angle. Most were blocked, but a few managed to get through, and Dizzy could see bits of frayed spandex and blood fall to the ground. Still Scarab did not retreat nor take cover. Breathing heavily, she placed her index and middle fingers to her temples, closing her eyes...<br/><br/>"What the-OW! GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT!"<br/><br/>The squad leader shouted, one hand going from her rifle to her own head as though she was hit with the worst migraine imaginable. And in a way it was.<br/><br/>Taking advantage of the distraction, the Iron Matron moved closer to Dizzy, undeterred by the guards she dispatched and leaped forth with a flying kick. A kick that missed Dizzy but caved in a nearby crate.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Squad Leader shoots at Scarab with Multiattack 27.

Scarab responded by lifting one of said crates to throw at the Iron Matron. It was quite clear that the girl was trying to give Dizzy the opportunity to escape, and while she missed the telltale<em>woosh</em>of a large, heavy object massively distracted the Iron Matron's next swipe, forcing her to sacrifice accuracy for defense as she tumbled out of the way of the careening crate just in time.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Squad Leader takes an action to move at half to speed to take cover from Scarab.<br/><br/>Scarab uses Telekinesis on an object she's taking cover behind try and attack Iron Matron with it.

It's likely that both will retreat or lose the trail of our superheroines, depending upon your actions.</em>
