Ashley slammed her fists into the drone with disturbing ease. Sparks flew from her hands and arced across the frame of the machine. It was only when the sphere Sam had attached to the device began to sing it's ear-shattering song did Ashley relent. The sounds thundered in Ashley's ears and she let out a growling roar of pain as her hands flew to her head and she rolled off the machine. Ashley clamped her hands down on her ears just in time to prevent her sensitive eardrums from rupturing. Her hearing was now dangerously tender, and Ashley was dizzy beyond belief as she lay curled up on the floor. Ashley felt her healing factor kick in and start to repair the damage, but her vision swam as her senses were thrown for another loop as they were repaired.

Ashley would be down for the count for a while. Ashley didn't notice the drone split up into twelve segments, and would've thrown a bolt of lightning among them had she been able. The clicking sound of the newly independent segments deploying needle like legs made Ashley wince due to her still tender hearing. Hands still clutching her ears, Ashley struggled to rise. Even as the pain began to dull Ashley was still groggy and could barely see straight. Pangs of pain began to bring Ashley back to focus as a pair of drones began to climb up her legs. Knowing where to aim now, Ashley brought her hands down on her thighs and Grabbed the two drones climbing her legs. Ripping them away before they could embed their need-like legs into her thighs Ashley brought her arms back and smashed the drones into once another, fusing their frames together and hopefully disabling them for good.

Dropping the wrecked drones and grabbing hold of the railing to steady herself Ashley shook her head and pawed at her ears once again. Her hearing was both numb and buzzing as her healing factor was not yet finished. After a few moments Ashley closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Opening her eyes again, Ashley noticed that Sam was now running and sliding her way towards Nora and yelling for gloves. The words were muted and muffled as Ashley's hearing repaired itself. Ashley could do nothing more than wobble slightly on her feet as she tried to recover her sense of balance.

However, Ashley noticed a drone shuttling it's way across the floor towards Sam's leg, and shakily raised her finger to point at the drone before shouting. "Drone." far louder than she thought she was speaking due to being unable to hear herself speak except muffled through her skull. It was as much warning as Ashley could muster, since she knew that letting go of the railing would cause her to fall.

Ashley would've shocked the drone herself, but it was simply too risky to shock something so close to Sam. Ashley didn't know what Sam had on her that could be metal, and with lightning being, well, lightning there was simply too much risk involved in using it around those that would be considered friends.
