Snippet #2812393

All light and color faded from the world around her. She fired once into the darkness, but didn’t hear it connect. There was a hand on her shoulder, and the pressure of a gun on the back of her head. Shit, when did he- Her thought was cut off by an icy, creeping fear soaking its way into her entire body.
Nina?
No.
Their abilities might make them somewhat uniquely challenging to handle, but they’re your responsibility now.
No, it wasn’t Nina.
What’s to stop me from just knocking you out with my power and then going to deal with it? It’s not like you’d be able to stop me, right?
No, focus. Of course this isn’t Nina.
”I just have to listen for that damn singing.”
Sheri whipped around to the left, grabbing the man’s arm with her left hand and then slipping around behind him, dropping her gun to the ground and driving the palm of her right hand into the small of his back, forcing him away from her. She still couldn’t see in this damn darkness - did he make this? Then it was probably safe to assume he could see her just fine. She backed away, looking to see if there was a limit to how far it spread, while keeping her ears trained for the sound of footsteps, or a gun being cocked.
