The one generating ghosts has been scrambling backwards since she came into view and gets away. The other screams as her arm gets disintegrated, but manages to slam a button with her other hand.

Small lights start glowing from every direction and elevation, then in a split second thin blue lines connect the perimeter and pull toward each other. The glowing constellation snaps shut, leaving her bound and immobile. The ghost cape rushes forward to pull his teammate out of vaporization range while Ellie is distracted as well as stuck.

She pulls out a brute and tries to struggle free, but that doesn't stop her from shooting again.

This power isn't the most accurate one even when the user is in more of a position to aim. But then, they're not in the best position to dodge either. The tinker stops yelling, and the master starts. He still has the presence of mind to move out of range.

She grabs the tinker's power before it floats free, and queries it for ways to escape this trap.

No single point is necessary; the ones around it would just link to each other to close the gap. Getting out while tied up would take forever. Easier to reverse the polarity of the neutron flow on the remote, which is right over... she blasted it.

Dragon flies over, too late, for what she cares about, and starts firing stun bolts again.

She can't dodge anymore, but she can still shoot back.

And Dragon can dodge. Everything goes numb, then black.

When she's conscious again, she can hear Dragon saying to a newly arrived PRT team that she'll be out for a few minutes yet. Probably a bad idea to open her eyes.

Can she tell where Dragon is based on sound without opening them?

Pretty close, at least. Probably not close enough she can confidently shoot at her or anything.

...She cracks her eyes open very slightly, not moving anything else.

Dragon is there, standing close in case there needs to be emergency re-stunning. She left the dazzling lights on, but now it's pointed more precisely. PRT agents there (and, by the voices, there and there and...). Other heroes are present, mostly in the direction where Ellie vaporized their teammate.

Now that she knows where the suit is, how does it handle an unexpected short-range chaos blast?

Not very well at all. Most of the suit is a hole now. The PRT people are trained professionals and start spraying containment foam as soon as they see what happened. The capes are marginally less trained mostly-professionals and start reaching for their powers. Some of them are screaming Dragon's name in exactly the same way the ghost cape did the last time she vaporized someone.

Do they not know the suit was remotely controlled? Well. They'll figure it out.

In the meantime, she has not-here places to be. Blink.

It's kind of a silly sight. She's tied up and moving only by the teleportation power and the recoil from Damsel's, and is still outrunning the pursuers. At least until those shades get tired.

As long as she is outrunning them, that's the important thing for now.

Very important, but unlikely to last forever. They have advantages like numbers, and vehicles, and not being tied up.

She can change at least one of those things if she gets some time to do it. Just need to break line of sight and duck into a house.

Neither of those is very hard. They will know which house, though.

Are the people inside she can hold hostage?

Probably. They're asleep; she's covered enough ground by now that the cape fight didn't wake the neighbors this far out.

Up and at 'em, everyone, you get to be the things standing between her and the Protectorate while she gets out of this netting. Feel free to call for help and let them know you're here, but if they come in or you kick up too much of a fuss, she's going to kill you.

No one likes the idea of doing what the villain wants them to do, but under the circumstances it's better than not doing it. People start dialing.

She keeps an eye on them while asking the tinker shade the best way to go about removing the net, given the tools she has at hand.

Get as much electricity as she possibly can and apply it to that node right there. Unless she wants to do it without frying herself, in which case the easiest way is probably to make an extra node, and attach it to the network without telling the adjacent ones to pull it tight, and then just step through the gap.
