  1. I prepared to make a move, and I felt the danger sense of no less than twelve different capes in my army go off.
  2.  
  3. Yet I still alerted the ghost in armor. He moved, lurching to his feet, and he spoke.
  4.  
  5. Glaistig Uaine said something, and it was a single word, a hard word.
  6.  
  7. He was a precog, and to look at him, he was a defensive cape.
  8.  
  9. She'd been anticipating an attack.
  10. The thin woman moved, and a current of wind ripped through the air, two feet wide and ten feet tall, less a tornado and more a battering ram. It flew through the sky, homing in on me.
  11.  
  12. I moved through a portal, and the column followed. It hit me like a truck, and I nearly lost my grip on the clairvoyant’s hand.
  13.  
  14. I tumbled. In a sense, my lack of control over my own body helped more than anything. I was left panting, but I hadn’t tensed up because the reflex simply hadn’t been there. Being limp when I took the hit was better than going tense and tearing something.
  15.  
  16. The Faerie Queen had anticipated an attack. She had to know what I’d been doing, how I was operating. If I used my power…
  17.  
  18. What did the vulgar woman with the lipstick smirk and creepy white teeth do?
  19.  
  20. Another column of wind homed in on me.
  21.  
  22. My army threw barriers in the way. Force fields, walls of crystal and walls of fire.
  23.  
  24. The column passed between them like it wasn’t even a consideration. I closed the portal in front of me before the column could zip through.
  25.  
  26. I watched as it changed course, heading for the nearest member of my army. I might have been able to do something about it, but I suspected it would have found a way to me anyways. Instead, I shifted my grip, gripping the young man’s wrist, and making him grab mine. A surer grip than hand-on-hand.
  27.  
  28. The wind-attack compressed, passing through the foot-wide portal behind them, and it hit me. Not as hard as the first, because it wasn’t as large, but it still hurt.
  29.  
  30. [...]
  31.  
  32. The faerie queen banished her wind-witch and brought out another spirit. I tried to capitalize on the distraction, getting one cape with one of the stronger ranged powers to attack her. A gravity pulse, a bullet that imploded things at the impact site.
  33.  
  34. The man in armor moved, and the vulgar woman reacted, creating a circle of rippling air. The bullet struck the barrier, and the man who'd sent out the pulse promptly imploded, blood showering everyone nearby.
  35.  
  36. Something indirect, then. I opened a portal a distance away, and I used Canary's song.
  37.  
  38. She kept the field up. I could feel the pain wrack Canary, hear her choke on her words. She doubled over and coughed up blood.
  39.  
  40. A power counterer, a precog… and Eidolon, now.
  41.  
  42. - Speck 30.4
