Erin watched, rather perplexed, as Jess weaved metal fibers into her suit. She looked the girl in the eye, casting out a telepathic signal and jumping her partner's mind. [color=ec008c][i]"By the way, I'm telepathic.[/i] [/color]She said mentally. She was assaulted by what she perceived were battle strategies. She shivered - Jess' mind was weird. Linked to Jess' mind, Erin felt suddenly more aware of her space - as if she was perceiving every movement in her surroundings. This awareness told her that someone was coming behind her - fast.

She dropped into a crouch, bringing her leg outwards to swipe the ankles of the oncoming meta. She knocked the man to the ground and struck him hard with her staff. The second person to charge was far more alarming than the first - much bigger, as well. The second meta-human was at least seven-feet-tall, and his skin looked like scales. She swung her staff up at his jaw, connecting a solid blow, but not seeming to do any kind of damage. 

[color=ec008c]"That's not good."[/color] She announced. 

[b]"C'mon, pipsueak."[/b] He said. The giant meta's fist delivered a solid hit to her shoulder, sending her flying across the pavement. Erin jumped up with a fitting flare, and sprinted towards the man. He took a second swing, but she rolled on the pavement, coming up behind his back and striking him hard in the calf with her staff. As the man's knee buckled and he knelt down, he swung low at her legs. She performed a dramatic front flip over his arm, and used his bent knee as a step. She jumped off his knee, swing her legs around his neck and using the staff like a garrote. He grabbed at her, but she maneuvered away from his hands as she slowly took him down. The giant man fell unconscious as she strangled him down, rolling off of his back and to the ground as he hit the pavement with a loud thud. 

[color=ec008c]"Who's the pipsqueak now?"[/color] She said to the unconscious meta.

As Erin rose to her feet, she looked at Jess. [color=ec008c]"How's that for knowing my trade?" [/color]
