Whatever had stuck her in the neck was gone but the ghost of it remained, and it burned. She still needed to throw up. Purge herself of whatever poison that was making her so ill. The thresher slithered through the park, its head low and searching. Steam trailed from its mouth as it opened and flicked its tongue through the air. As it came closer, Umbri’s body tensed and she almost cried into the Rogue’s hand in alarm. Her knee shifted, and the air warped around it, revealing the faintest outline of an object there. It can’t see. Her eyes came swiftly into focus, double vision merging onto one track - she was invisible. They were [i]invisible[/i]. Her head scrambled to make sense of it. What kind of technology was this? Was it magic? Don’t be stupid, robots can’t do magic. Even with the assurance that the beast couldn’t see her, it came closer. Yellow eyes narrowed and its long form followed after their glare towards them. [i]How,[/i] Umbri sweated, [i]How?[/i] She caught the flicker of yellow beneath her as the snake reared up over them and observed… not them. The rippling colours in the puddle beneath them. [color=#A4303F][i][b]It can see our reflection.[/b][/i][/color] Umbri’s stomach plummeted with the realisation. The Rogue hadn’t noticed it yet. He wouldn’t still be trapping her in place if he had. Against his warning, Umbri pulled out the gun. The air distorted slightly as her arm moved, ever so slowly, raising her arm straight towards the snake’s head. It came nearer, hissing, closer to the puddle, closer to them, until the barrel of her gun was a ruler’s length from its eyes. A fiery glow pierced through the scales of its throat. The ripples in the puddle began to relax into a smooth mirror, and Umbri’s trigger finger twitched - A loud clang and an animal’s call jerked the thresher’s head. With a shake of its fins, it bared its fangs and dived after it. Its massive length rushed past and sprayed them with water. Umbri stayed very still, gun aimed the way it went, until the hisses and the rattle of its movement had faded away. Her arm collapsed.
