She’s bluffing; I thought to myself, my powers are limitless! I stood my ground as Domino pulled the trigger, reaching out with my powers to swat the projectile away. I was partially successful; I did indeed have enough power to interrupt the path of the dart. Instead of a dead center shot, as Domino had intended, the dart hit me in the shoulder instead.
My head swam as the sedative hit my system; it was powerful, obviously designed with me in mind. I stumbled backwards, using the wall to support myself. I shifted my powers inward, desperately trying to get my nervous system under control.
“Now you really look like hell.” Domino said with a smirk, assuming a more casual stance. “You know for an ultimate weapon this is almost too easy.”
I glare at her, weighing my options; I could try my powers again, nothing fancy, a brute force blast of telekinetic power, slam her backwards into the wall and try to knock her out. Rage can give powers a boost, and my blood was positively boiling. Domino just looked so cocky, so sure of herself… so sure of herself… I could just collapse right now, play possum. Give her exactly what she’s expecting, lull her into a false sense of security, and then strike!
