She reaches out with her power.

She's at the center of [the world|a thin beam connecting her to 2 cubic shells centered on her, each 5 mm thick, 1 and 1.5 meters in size]. She's stationary. She's the only thing here.

(Her normal senses are still active, but very muted. And because bullets travel faster than the speed of sound, she feels the first shot enter the inner wall before she hears it.)

When her power asks her if she wants to take its momentum, everything stops, including her ability to think about anything else besides the question.

Her answer is yes. She takes it into herself, moving herself upwards, but doesn't drop focus.

She's at the center of the world. She's moving upwards. There's a bullet in the inner shell. It's stationary. 

She pushes her momentum into the bullet, throwing it down.

The change in momentum prompts her power to ask her if she wants to take the bullet's momentum again, since it's still inside the world and changed how its moving. When she says no, her perception of time resumes, and the bullet slams into the ground.

She does the same thing with second and third bullets, but these she lets reach the outer shell before redirecting. 

The fourth one, she stops, lets fall halfway to the ground, and then puts her current momentum back into it. (It's substantially less - it doesn't take very long for gravity to cut back her stolen momentum, since a bullet might be very fast but it's also very light. (Mags gave her a lot of relevant physics 101 yesterday afternoon, and she's been reviewing it diligently, like a good superhero.))

For the fifth one...

The last bullet stops in midair, and falls with no obvious momentum change anywhere.

Then it hits the ground and rolls extremely quickly to the left.

"...neat."

"Yeah! Angular momentum is momentum, too." She needs to thank Mags again, she'd be so much worse at this without help from someone who actually gets physics.

Clinghug - she's picked up a small chunk of backlash from this.

He holsters the gun and pets her.

Happy wiggling blue girl! (She got a good grade in bullet deflection, which is normal to want and possible to achieve, and now she gets the reward of being pet...)

After a few moments, though, she suggests they head dungeonwards - she's still got a trace of backlash, but she thinks the guiding from holding his hand walking to the car + non-contact proximity guiding will be enough to fully zero her pretty quickly.

Off they go to pack up his gun back in the truck and head for the pinball dungeon.

She vibrates with excitement and nervousness, and alternates between talking tactics with Haru and texting her close friends. (She also checks the configuration of her fancy noise cancelling headphones - it should be straightforward to get the comm system hooked into them, so that Haru can tell her what to do once she gets enough backlash to need it.)

They arrive. He parks. They get a briefing update from the people on the scene, who've got a fortified little encampment below the flippers of the machine where the portal opens, with barricade shields keeping the alien projectiles off. They hook Cara's headphones into the in-dungeon comm network. They get a look at the map.

And then they can start following the victims' yelling noises.

It's - horrible, though at least it will help them find the people that need them.

"When we get close to someone, I can stop them from bouncing off - it'll be easy to use their momentum to go after more victims, if you're ok with splitting up?" This was one of the plans they discussed in the car, but she wants to double check.

(She takes a snack bar out of her pocket to hold in her right hand.)

"Testing that you can hear me through the comms, testing, testing."

She gives him a thumb up. "Loud and clear." 

"Then yeah, we can split up. I'll snipe aliens and tote victims to the entrance, you handle the pinballs, anybody going at high velocity, and incoming bullets."

She nods, and then starts using her power to help narrow down the search for a fast-moving victim to start with.

There's none in easy range of the encampment at the moment. They can step through the barricade and head in.

She's right behind him, holding his left hand to bleed off the tiny amounts of backlash she's generating by scanning. (She's flipping through different shapes to try and get something optimized for how flat this dungeon is without racking up too much volume, and is currently checking about 20 meters out.)

It's a pretty noisy, and visually noisy, environment, full of lights and flags and bells and beepy things. There's an alien hiding in that ball-trap over there.

She can't see it, but she can feel the position and mass and motion, and she can make an educated guess. 

She points. "Something hiding there. Probably one of the monsters." 

"On it." He breaks off to trot up to it and nip it in the head before it can pop out and shoot at them instead. He steals its "ray" gun and leaves its body on top of a pin so it can be easily collected later if they want alien corpses for anything.

-She looks away, scanning outwards with pie slice regions that don't include Haru, looking for fast moving objects about the size of a person. 

Nothing while he's dealing with the alien, but by the time he gets back to her, there's somebody rolling along -

Point. "Someone that way, moving towards us." 

She starts to jog, and then notices the raygun.

"... Can I borrow that? Would give me more options, with my power. ...I won't point it at anyone." 

He hands it over.

She takes it, pocketing the snack bar as she does.

Then they can jog (optionally holding hands, if Haru wants to bleed off some of his backlash from hiding from the alien?)
