"Alright, so we're going to sneak in." You nod to yourself at your incredibly smart plan. Alexis and Lex look at each other before back at you.
"Wouldn't they spot us?" Alexis points at the guards and Firecracker. "It's the middle of the morning, we stand out like a sore thumb."
"So what if they spot us? We can just kill them." Lex states with the same matter-of-factness of an office worker talking about his day.
"Right, like that's a smart idea. Cause a bunch of noise, get injured, back up arrives! That's an excellent idea!"
While the two are busy arguing with each other, you start focusing on the Firecracker's leash. A light lavender glow only visible to your ilk starts surrounding it. You clench your hand as you begin to influence the world through mere thoughts.
The guard notices the odd pulling on his leash. He assumes it's just the Firecracker and pulls harder. You hear a tinny "YELP" from the bug. Ah, it's already getting agitated. With one swift flick of the wrist, you rip the leash out of the guard's hand.
>Your head throbs. -1 RESTRAINT
"What the fuck?!" The guard who previously had a leash stumbles back with confusion and fear. The guard next to him is about to yell at him before looking at the levitating leash.
And with a flick of your wrist, you smack the Firecracker a few dozen times with its own leash. One or two would've worked but you just wanted to be extra sure.
<span class="mu-r">The crackling noises coming from the bug reminds you of a raging fire.</span> Before anyone has time to react, the Firecrackers start attacking its owners with roaring fury.
"Wait, how did it float-" Alexis questions the seemingly impossible thing that happened while Lex has stars in his eyes. He is eating this up. "I don't know but I'm loving it!"
"Hurry." You gesture at the two to follow you. You can already see the fight is either going to end with someone being killed, so it's not going to buy too much time.
The three of you cross the street as the guards desperately beat the bug with their batons. Nasty burns are already developing on their hands while more and more cracks form on the Firecracker.
[UNSTABLE] It's kinda cute, isn't it? This tiny little bug that can just rip people into shreds, it's adorable! A perfect pet.
You shake your head. Guh. Not now.
The three of you begin to circle around the warehouse to find any openings that you can squeeze yourselves through. All you need is a single open window
"Seriously, the fuck was that?" Alexis whisper yells at you. There's a conflicted look on her face, still dwelling on the anomalous feat that just happened moments ago. "I know my mind shouldn't be focusing on that but..."
"Shh. It was funny." Lex waves her off, not at all questioning what happened.
Alexis grumbles something that you can't quite make out but she's giving you a weird look now. It's not anger or anything but analyzing? Assessing? Like she sees a potential asset.
Hopefully she doesn't connect the dots.
