"I think I have something that will work. I'm going to try breaking the stuff overhead."

Permalink

"Okay."

Permalink

And- laser, up. Burn away the debris.

Permalink

It starts out small and harmless but does eventually get powerful enough that she can cut pieces of debris with arbitrary precision.

Permalink

Okay, all the stuff above them can go away.

Permalink

It obliges.

Permalink

And then... is the remainder of the pile climbable?

Permalink

With some strategic lasering, yeah.

Permalink

Great.

Recheck on rescue-cape position?

Permalink

That-a-way.

Permalink

Off to find them.

Permalink

The girl follows.

"...do you remember your name?"

Permalink

"I'm Sadde."

Permalink

"That's a strange name."

Permalink

She nods. "My—my mom—"

She stops talking.

Permalink

 

Any sign of help?

Permalink

—yeah there are some capes over there.

Permalink

And are they going to get noticed or will they have to go over?

Permalink

Oh, they get noticed. Someone flies over. "Hey, you two—" He notices the shades and immediately assumes a fighting stance, lightning arcing between his hands. "Stay away from the girl."

"...what?" Sadde asks, looking spooked.

Permalink

Forcefield up between him and her.

Permalink

"Stop! We didn't do anything!" Sadde says.

    The cape looks at her. "Who are you? What did she do?"

"She rescued me."

    That seems to confuse him.

Permalink

Ellie will just. Stay here. Where she's safe. Ish.

 

Probably could kill the other guy before he can get her.

Permalink

    "What's your name?" the cape asks.

"I'm Sadde. She's Ellie."

    "Ellie."

"That's what I said. You're supposed to help us."

Permalink

He doesn't look very helpful.
