Snippet #976311

As yet another man came crashing into the scene, Henrietta knew she had to get out of there. The girl with the gun, yet another man who she suspected she might recognize as an agent of Nemesis, and then this new guy. The skateboarder she guessed could be Aegis, in which case he might buy her a few seconds to get out of dodge of the other two, as well as the gun. As he slid up behind Top Hat'n'High Caliber, Henri used it as an opportunity. Taking a step back, her arm still around the boy's neck but keeping it loose as not to break him, she reached back to the wall behind her and touched the brick. The instant she did a surge blasted the bricks inward, blowing a hole through the wall just big enough for a person to work there way in. "Come on kid," She muttered, less threatening then she probably should have sounded. She wasn't going to hurt him, and based on his reaction to her so far, he probably knew that as well.

Backing up into the building with the kid in tow, the room they were in seemed to be the lobby of some sort of office building, certainly closed at this late hour.
