"Cool it, she's fine. And to answer your question: Maybe."

Permalink

"Has who what?" she inquires.

Permalink

"Have you got a chance when taking on an unidentified, hextech-enhanced assassin alone? Yeah, I'd take that bet."

Permalink

Audrey looks at Idain.

Permalink

She smiles slightly.

"It's a long story and I'm not sure we have time for all the details, but the relevant parts are: hello. My name is Idain. Ruava is a Light mage, meaning her elemental powers have to do with light and the rest of her magic is focused on other people; so far, besides lightshaping and its associated senses, all she has is healing. I am a Water mage, meaning my elemental powers have to do with water and the rest of my magic is focused on myself and the world around me; so far, besides watershaping and its associated senses, I have flight and something that might be teleportation except I've only used it once and I'm not entirely sure how it works."

"Do the teleportation thing now across the room if you can."

Permalink

She looks across the room - pauses -

- shakes her head. "Didn't work. Not afraid enough, or afraid of the wrong things. The only time I've used it, I needed to be as far away as possible and didn't at all care where. That is not quite the current situation."

 "Mmm. Inconvenient. Any updates on scary blade woman?"

Permalink

Ruava makes an updated image of scary blade woman. The shift in body language between personalities is remarkably noticeable.

Permalink

Scary blade woman is standing precisely above where Jinx is standing. A blue jewel embedded in her chest glows with cold, brilliant light.

Permalink

"...I would like there to be a lot of water here very quickly," says Idain. "Is that possible."

Permalink

"Uh, I could turn on the fire sprinklers if they haven't locked me out -" 

Permalink

The woman on the floor above smashes downward with her serrated legs, cutting neatly through the floor and plunging onto Jinx in a hail of shrapnel -

Permalink

- Jinx shields her face with one arm, and fires blindly with her Zapper at the falling debris - 

Permalink

- Audrey dives headlong for cover and rolls in beside the bed -

Permalink

- Jinx's Zapper bolt lands squarely on her attacker's centre mass -

Permalink

- but a shield of coruscating blue energy dissipates it harmlessly -

Permalink

- and the attacker is engulfed in clinging darkness -

Permalink

- but only outside the area of the corsucating barrier, which extends as far as the attacker's arm-length. With the limited vision she has, she manages to make an inhumanly fast strike at Jinx's eye, the sharpened point of her leg piercing downwards with all the momentum of her fall -

Permalink

- but by some miracle Jinx catches the blow on the rails of her Zapper, rolling aside in a burst of sparks and broken metal - 

Permalink

- Audrey pulls her tablet out from underneath herself and starts to tap at it frantically-

Permalink

She keeps her shell of darkness wrapped around the barrier, and just inside it she adds a shell of blinding white light. More light than she has ever called at once. Enough light that the air it touches starts to burn. She didn't even know that was an option.

Permalink

The attacker's barrier holds. Crackles. Breaks.

She falls to the ground, blind and burning.

Permalink

She relents to just the darkness, ready to call light again if this proves to have been a bad idea.

Permalink

The attacker stays down.
