The arrow explodes at the feet of an oddly dressed enemy, knocking him off balance. Another group of fighters enters the street, weapons both primative and modern at the ready. I notice the shoulders of Nightwing and Arsenal droop slightly, then raise back up ready for the new fight.
A yellow cylinder forms around the two fighters, walling off the new group of enemies, and giving the two a clear section of the alleyway. "You both look as if you could use a rest." Blaster fire from the surrounding army strikes the wall and the bubble I place around myself. Annoying, but managable.
A bolt of electricty harmlessly strikes my bubble from the side. I look and see that blue-skinned woman standing on a rooftop. "Miss me?" she asks.
"I do not even know who you are."
"Oh, that's a shame. Can't believe you've never heard of Livewire." Twin blasts hit me again, this time causing the bubble to shutter.
"I've got this one!" Rayner calls out. A green streak and blast of energy, and Livewire goes flying.
"Thank you. She was becomming rather...annoying."
"Hey! You're the one whoose..." but her sentance is cuttoff as Rayner continues his attack on her. I turn back and focus at the task at hand.
