“It’s just a bat covered in barbed wire.” Julia points out the obvious. “What’s so special about that?”
Wordlessly, your brother presses a button on the side, causing small, electrical sparks to dance across the spikes. Looks, however, are very deceptive, and you know for a fact that any normal person that gets shocked by that is going to be down for the count. <span class="mu-i">Neat!</span>

“Where’s the other stuff?” You segue the conversation into more pressing matters, like the <span class="mu-i">Aurum Impulsum.</span> You know it’s on Matt, as you can feel that same, leaden aura that you felt back at the Miller-Ford Building emanating from somewhere on his person.
