Foil vs. Shadow Stalker Powers

“I shot her in the leg,” Foil reported.  “But her people gathered around her.  I’d shoot them, but-”

But the answering gunfire was more persistent than a slingshot could be.

My mom nodded, backing up.  Foil was pulling back because the bullets were too heavy.  My mom ducked beneath the firing line of Foil’s slingshot as Foil aimed at the corner of the building.

Her power wasn’t Shadow Stalker’s, from back in Brockton Bay.  It went through everything, yes.  Shadow Stalker could do something similar.  But it left a hole, where Shadow Stalker’s hadn’t.  One shot, then two- it created an aperture with the same diameter as the bullet.

I could understand why Foil would be reluctant to put holes that big in something she was using for cover, especially with the concentration of gunfire.
