The thought of combat frightened Veronica. Not because she could not fight and not because she was scared of, say, Kiiros roasting her or James using his spine as a whip. She was afraid because her best way to combat her opponent would be with her power...namely various types of radiation. She had many ways of using her power for defense and support, but fighting usually lead to giving her opponent radiation sickness or worse. The thought made her sick to her stomach.
