Shazam's attack was more than effective. It sent Starro reeling back, and subdued much of its army. It appeared Starro's psychic connection was like a hivemind, if they could eliminate the big starro the others will fall as well. Starling was already gathering herself as Nightwing was attempting to rally the others. Now was the time to attack, while Starro was at its weakest. But seeing as how she can't fly or shoot lightning out of her fingertips, she'd leave Starro up to the heavy hitters. "I'll keep the small fry off your backs, just finish off the big guy" she told the others, turning her focus to the weaken Cobi. She didn't know if she could kill him, even in his current state, but she was ready to play cat-and-mouse long enough for the others to do the real work.
Gonna try to post tomorrow friday. Been having trouble coming up with something.
Get well soon Sam!
"I'm guessing you're either special or not with them. Based on the fact you're using a pistol, I'd say it's probably the latter. That and the fact I imagined your help would be right there."
The starfish mob was not being patient for the amphibious adventurer, though, so he began to put some vertical distance between himself and the crowd. With effort, he threw one hand onto his dangling grapnel, "I suggest you take my hand, madam. The elevator will be going up in a moment. You'll be safer up here."
It appeared that the villain Starling was facing was in fact a would-be hero who was a little too eager. She usually didn't trust people she'd just shot at, but given the situation she didn't have much choice. Reluctantly she took his and they zipped upwards to a place far out of the reach of the horde of zombies below. "You might wanna watch the friendly fire, buddy." Taking a moment to catch her breath, Starling took in the view of the massive starfish menacingly floating above its army of mind controlled civilians. What could she do in a situation like this? She didn't have any powers, not super strength or speed. Maybe if she had a rocket launcher, but all she had was a pea shooter and taser. Peering into the crowd below, she tried to spot her friend Aiko. If she couldn't save everyone, at least she could save one.

At least you posted though. Can't be sure if this is another weekend dropoff or the new pace of the game.
I'm always busy on the weekends, but I'll try to post something small tonight.
Tokyo, Shibuya Crossing
Then he heard a gunshot before a bullet landed next to him. "Come at me!" A woman shouted. I really don't have time for this. The woman was surrounded by Starfish-lings. Was she in league with them? He couldn't be sure. Only one way to find out.
"As you wish!"
Before her stood a metahuman who was apparently itching for a fight. He didn't have a starfish on him, but judging from his aquatic theme Starling guessed he was with Starro. This wouldn't be the first time she has faced down a metahuman. A few years ago she was part of a task force along side five other operatives. They were well armed and well funded but that didn't mean much when their enemy could shoot lasers out of his eyes. After a month of chasing him thru the jungle they finally got him, by burning it down.
Now Starling had a fight on her hands, except this time she was poorly armed and had zero prep-time. Good thing there were superheroes around. Before Sea Devil could come any closer she unloaded her pistol into him, fully expecting him to brush it off or dodge it. Next she dove away, dodging his first attack while closing the distance between herself and the other heroes.
"I could use some backup!" she shouted. She didn't like asking for help but it was the only option she had.

So if Starling ran away with her zappy gun, and Devil Ray already went out to take care of his own thing, then I am protecting myself and Static.
I thought you were protecting us from the big starro floating above, that way Starling can deal with the zombies without worrying about getting stepped on
Tokyo, Shibuya Crossing
The giant tentacle swung towards her like an angry wave, engulfing everything in its path; even the starfish underlings weren't spared. Starling leapt into a dirty gutter, taking refuge in the engraved surface while the limb narrowly scraped over her. A crowd of brainwashed drones was one thing, she's dealt with that before. But when the giant one showed up it became a whole different game. The colourful masks flying around with thunder bolts shooting from their fingertips, who was she to compare?
The mob appeared to grow more excited when big guy showed up. Navigating it became nearly impossible when they shifted their focus on the so called "heroes." Starling had no choice but to retreat to a convenience store where the mass of the mob overlooked. She crouched behind a shelf of potato chips to catch her breath when she saw a cop laying in a pool of blood with a gun in his hand and a dead starfish close by. Did the starfish make him do it? Or was he trying to save himself? Regardless, Starling searched him and found bullets, cigarettes, flashlight, handcuffs, and a stun gun. The stun gun reminded her of the shock she felt when her mind was freed from the starfish. Electricity seemed to be effective. Cobi and the big guy was a little out of her league, but Mr. Unknown needed to be taught a lesson.
Starling peeked over the counter to scout the situation. It was unlikely but she kept one eye out for her friend Aiko. That was when she saw a girl in fishnets going towards the danger. "Oh wow, who's this random magician lady here?" Whoever she was, Starling hoped she had the arsenal to deal with the big one. With the stun gun in hand, Starling worked her way thru the crowd, shocking every drone that got in her way. She must've gotten 12 of them before all the surrounding ones started swarming and clawing at her. The more they focused on her, the less the seemed to focus on the other heroes. Starling kicked and climbed to the top of a car where they had trouble following her. Their hand eye coordination was similar to that of a zombie. "Come at me!" she shouted, firing her gun in the air to get their attention.
