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.

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.
