"...Some."

"You've gotten them pretty stirred up, more than they've let on." Lazy smirk. "The Keres isn't quite their boogeyman yet, but, well. You could be, quite easily."

"I've no interest in acting in their play."

"Who does? But they seem to have spooked you, if you've cooled off this much."

"And I think I have just the solution you need."

"What makes you think I want your solution?"

Smirk. "Because I can offer you a way out. A chance to survive that heat. A reason and a method to stop restraining yourself - and a rapid stream of dead parahumans for the harvest."

"What, by joining you?"

"Of course."

"I decline."

(A tension drains out of Anakin, relief washing through her.)

"That's too bad. Of course... The others will still want to interview you. We came all this way, after all - luckily, being uncooperative doesn't drop your survival chances too much." Lazy smile.

There's a small shift around her, a poke at the future - 

Jack Slash's throat crumples - her knives shatter - the fragments tear through her, it's hard to disrupt someone's body directly, and her entire body is very well reinforced -

She dies before any of her upgrades can try to compensate, before Skywalker can even blink. Anakin's never cared about hard.

And - 

"One of them is Force sensitive," Anakin's voice echoes in Skywalker's mind, faster than her ears would be able to parse it. 

She grabs Jack's power before it dissipates, awareness of what it does filtering through. It's a projector, a communicator, it speaks to other powers. Which is weird and has implications, but the main relevant thing right at this moment is that she can use it to help with the fight. She swaps one of her shades out for hers.

"Kill the rest?"

One of the Nine feels highlighted in Skywalker's perception, suddenly, some of Anakin's attention clearly pointing that way. "All but this one - she's a kid - I'd need to think."

That one is also one of the only two reacting to Jack Slash's death. She's not with the others, at least, though she's close - one of the two that're separated off, the only one near the main group (the other separated one's pretty far off). She's also closer to the house than the main group.

Skywalker will start with the others, then.

The others - 

Siberian - one of the odd ones - is the most immediate, obvious threat, and the one that reaches them first - Skywalker can't see a shade attached to her, but there's an echo in the Force, almost -

Anakin vanishes - Skywalker can feel her presence flaring near the second threat that'd been separated from the rest of the Nine - and then the Siberian dissolves like, well, a projection whose master was just mind tricked into dismissing her and then promptly murdered.

The others might be decent threats, still.

Like Crawler, or a very weird Hatchet Face (another odd threat, though he and his shade are present - his mind doesn't seem to be - )

Like the extreme fear crashing over her.

Crawler's too big need to stay away Hatchet Face is too dangerous need to stay awa-

This isn't her fear.

Breath, hold, out. Release the fear into the Force.

The fear's persistent -

But it doesn't seem to have anticipated - to understand - the way it's being bled off into the Force, and it almost immediately starts just flicking by her, barely more relevant than simply knowing 'someone wants her to be scared.'

The other members of the Slaughterhouse Nine are reacting, now. Crawler's in the Siberian's wake, throwing himself in her direction and laughing - there's fires building up around her, and in the background all the glass in the cabin shatters -

- And the Force disagrees with the fear she'd felt about which is more dangerous. Crawler, for instance, isn't very dangerous in the end - lean this way, twist, let his first swipe slide by her because she sees it coming before he's even thinking to do it - and she has plentiful surface to tap, and he's secreting assorted dangerous things but his movement creates little gaps, especially around the joints -

Or Hatchet Face, whose power apparently works not at all on the Force, and whose body is far more fragile than the others'. She could probably just throw a rock at him even if she can't set aside enough concentration to choke him in the chaotic melee.

First, take Crawler, then send his shade roaring back at his former teammates. Breathing room to stop, crush Hatchet Face's head to a pulp.

She gets the power just fine - and Anakin reappears, starts ripping Mannequin apart - seizes control of the glass Shatterbird is flinging at them -

The new girl seems to have realized now is a smart time to run.

Burnscar hasn't. She's escalating, fires roaring into being around them, enough that 'the entire forest catching on fire' is a serious risk even somewhere as wet as here usually is - and there's been a little dry spell recently, too - 

And neither has Shatterbird, really - she's flying upward, trying to get out of her enemy's range while keeping them in hers -

 - And something in Burnscar - detonates, or something, her skin ripping itself apart and decaying - Shatterbird goes pale, choking on her own blood -

Seems their safety measures have backfired.
