[i]Battle in Dorchester[/i][/right]

She actually impacted Sickle-Cell. That was more than she expected. Able to feel where she hit him, Knight pursued him, unable to get a grip on him but regardless carried him forth towards the building. Had she not been with him, she’d have stopped before impact. However, with him? She could take the hit for whatever damage he’d take.

The impact came, and with a sudden stop the force of the rapid stop shook her body, tightly locked inside the armor as she was. She grunted, pain radiating both from her skin at the impact and from her mind, complaining about being opposed. She knew if she flew into something at too high a speed, she’d squash herself inside her armor. Let’s not do that.

She felt that Sickle-Cell had slipped out of her grip. With no other senses, she didn’t know where he was, as such she propelled herself away from the wall to then open a hole to see out, and confirm the situation. Sickle-Cell… looked fine, despite having just been smashed into a building. He also simply stood, and didn’t seem to move after her or flee…

[i]Blood armor[/i].

Knight shivered as she realized, reminded again that their powers were similar in application. This meant she basically couldn’t defeat him unless she [i]ran him through[/i], and she didn’t want to do that. It’d take a lot of her to defeat him, and she couldn’t maintain her own armor for all that long… That said, Vector only needed him to not leave, and-

- And then he spoke his ultimatum. Let him leave, or they die. Damn. She could see the puddles of blood around making weapons, there was no way she could stop him. Damn him. It was for reasons like this that villains always had the upper hand. How can he claim she’s wrong when he’s the one threatening lives? That aside, she had no choice…

Anomaly’s voice came through the communicator. Knight cursed a little internally. The girl was going to be putting herself in danger. That’s [i]twice[/i] Anomaly’s gone after an enemy that could so easily kill her. Knight had to but hope the girl knew what she was doing.

[color=f07560]‘… It’d be perfectly reasonable for me to assume defeating you would save more people in the long run.’[/color] Knight sighed, letting her blue paused-time armor vanish, meaning she was no longer a threat to Sickle-Cell. [i]Yet, I wouldn’t accept letting them die like this.[/i] She walked to place herself in-between Sickle-Cell and the injured, ready to raise her barriers, but otherwise showing what her decision was.

[i]At least until Anomaly does whatever she planned.[/i]

… Then there was the sudden spray of gold coins heading for the Wards. If Knight was in a position to see it and perhaps react, she’d immediately reach out while startled to raise a blue barrier between the gold and the wards, only for the gold to curve upwards becoming a stair over for an unknown cape to run up while calling that he was a random independent… huh. Knight had to take him at his word, turning to look at Sickle-Cell again, hoping not to miss whatever Anomaly was going to do to give her an opening, or whatever she had said.
