[b][i]“What do you mean your power is sentient?”[/i][/b]

As Rita asked the question the sigil on her arm glowed clearly for Tuyen to see. She was using her abstraction, but Tuyen didn’t feel compelled to do anything.

The question didn’t have the intended effect that Rita wanted it to. Instead, as soon as she began to ask the question her mind was filled with horrendous screams. These quickly subsided after the question was finished.

“It has a mind of its own, but it’s not that important,” Tuyen shrugged, merely giving the definition of sentience. After all she wasn’t being forced to say anymore – and that was all the information she wanted to give on the topic. On the other hand, she very quickly put together two and two for Rita’s abstraction. What with the sigil glowing as the question was asked. “You can make people answer your questions can’t you?”

Her expression held no judgment. Sure, that abstraction could be used to get some fairly personal information out of people. But at this point that didn’t really matter. Some people had abstractions that would let them do much worse things.

“That’ll make it easier to find out how long we were out if we find someone, right?”

She gave a slight smile. There was one thing she wasn’t quite sure about – why Rita’s abstraction hadn’t worked on her. She had a feeling her shadow had something to do with it, but that was something she’d worry about later.

Caelea reached the source of the scream in time to see Justin roll away from a woman with scissors and another man charge at Penny. Fuck.

She’d barely used her abstraction, from what she did know was that it had absolutely no range. From where she was she wouldn’t be able to hit either of the two attackers. But by the time she ran over she’d be no help – she’d have to run right into the face of one of them.

Fuck it. She had gymnastics training, this probably wouldn’t kill her.

Caelea blasted air into the ground, launching herself up into the air. She flipped over as she projected herself towards the nurse. As she reached the women, she shot air out of her hands directly into the nurse’s body. It was more than powerful enough to do a fair amount of damage or knock her over.

It just had the unfortunate and unforeseen circumstance of shooting Cael back too, right towards a wall.
