You grunted in discomfort, squirming in the invisible fist that was clenched around your body. Your bones were being ground together, and it was getting harder to breathe.
With considerable effort, you swung your arm around and fired the Garlic Pepper Pellet that you had loaded into your Hidden Gun. And whether it was due to them being caught off guard, or you’d somehow managed to find a gap in their barrier, your projectile hit them right between the eyes, exploding in a puff of black smoke.
You waited for them to start hacking up a lung, or for them to furiously start rubbing at their eyes. Either would distract them long enough for you and Abe to slip away and continue climbing to the top floor.
You waited…and waited…but, nothing happened. The trench coat wearing psychic didn’t so much as recoil at the contents of the pellet being expelled into their mask. The cloth covering didn’t have any holes for their eyes, nose or mouth, but you assumed that there had to be something in there. Even if they were blind like Matt or Bloodhound, they would still be stuck with the blinding pain of having an irritant shot into their eyes at high speeds.
You blinked in surprise.
<span class="mu-r">“Huh. That’s new.”</span>
You could feel the unseen force gripping you tighter, and at the same time, the webbing that had been floating around the psychic was now unraveling and coiling around you and Abe, tying you together with complicated-looking knots!
At such a close proximity, you were forced to shut off your flame cloak for fear of harming your clone brother.
<span class="mu-b">“Man, this is super annoying when someone else does it to you.”</span>
Abe groaned.
<span class="mu-r">“It’s especially awkward since this batch of webbing is both harder to break and fireproof.”</span>
You added, struggling to slip out of the bindings. The thought of someone using these against you had never actually crossed your mind!
As soon as the psychic felt that you were sufficiently bound to your brother, they pointed their hand downward. Immediately afterwards, you felt a great pressure pushing you down towards the ground. At this rate, you were going to become a smear on the pavement!
What will you do?
>Try to coordinate with Abe to climb back up and beat up the one responsible for this. It’ll be like a three-legged race, but for a fight!>See if you can’t convince Abe to tear his costume in order to get out of this mess. His is a lot less expensive than yours, after all.>Weave Abe’s webbing with your own to create a giant web-construct to retaliate against the psychic! (Write-in if you have a specific shape in mind.)>Signal Squirrel Girl to cushion your fall with squirrels! Hopefully you won’t squash any of them.>Write-in.Pastebins:
