"Nothing we can do about that, unless you think we want to try and storm the Mayhem Machine again."

"I think that would be extremely unwise; I assume there is consensus on this?"

"Looks like there is. One thing I'm wondering about, though -"

He extends his left hand, on which is a gauntlet of orichalcum and coral and gleaming blue glass.

"Sorry to be the really cynical one here, but why is a fifteen-year-old with no other powers running around with the magic healing artifact? Instead of someone bulletproof?"

"The ring is a free-willed individual -"

"Who we can present the evidence to, so she can decide herself."

"- and It is my professional estimation that it would damage relations between them and us if we requested -"

"... So, Minerva, is it just that you're afraid to ask?"

"TIDEBRINGER!"

"Sorry, that was out of line."

"... Apology accepted. Tidebringer, I have not asked because I do not, in fact, think it would be sensible to ask.

The assailant is Minerva, on a rooftop, under a thin illusion of being a person holding a stunner. The illusion isn't very believable.

Permalink

-Oh! Right, practice ambush.

She swoops back down, armor still up, and stops about 50 feet away, waving.

Minerva keeps her hand pointed at her and fires another stun-bolt.

Then, a tiny fraction of a second behind that, fires a bright blue laser (at a very low intensity) the exact color of her armor.

She quickly makes a round shield in front of her, which blocks the stun-bolt easily-
