Okay. This is still terrifying but - she's already helping, the radios. There's a sense of direction here. This is what all the time and effort are for.

She goes where indicated, not bouncing across rooftops because they might not be holding up too well, but not really hindered by the deep muck or rubble and crashed cars either.

Anything of interest?

Well that sure looks like a leg sticking out of that mostly-dry bit of wreckage.

Permalink

 

 

Still alive? Or at least freshly dead? The electricity will tell her that.

Permalink

Still alive, yeah; the debris have fallen in such a way as to leave a bubble where there's a mostly-intact man, breathing and awake, trapped and bleeding.

Permalink

(Don't let the everything get to you he is going to be safe she is saving people.)

Well she has these special claws, she was trying for something that could extract things from rubble non-destructively.

"Hey! Stay calm and don't move, I'm going to get you out of there."

And... Carefully... Slide metal snakes into the rubble to support what's above him... And dig out what's below...

Permalink

Okay the man is awake but is definitely in shock.

—and there's the flier. "Oh, good job. Go... that way," she says, pointing. "I'll take him somewhere and meet you wherever." And takes off.

Permalink

"-Okay." She seems to know what she's doing. It'd be nice to know how she knows that, but she's obviously some kind of thinker and following a thinker's instructions can't go too far wrong.

Off goes Vertigo.

Permalink

That way is sort of diagonal to a street down which a bunch of people are going towards refuge... but the exact direction the lady pointed her has a half-collapsed building inside which there are some people trying and failing to find a way out that her tech can detect.

Permalink

More sorta-earthmoving stuff! She hammers bits of destroyed cars into tunnel supports and makes holes. She uses her portable ladder to replace a collapsed staircase inside.

Permalink

People can now leave the building! They are very thankful and also very quick to run away.

Flier lands. "Okay, can you get to a rooftop? I can't carry you, that looks much too heavy."

Permalink

"I can climb. Do you know if any power lines are still working? I'm burning through juice fast."

Permalink

"Most are. Climb."

She goes to a building.

Permalink

She goes, she climbs. She looks for power lines along the way.

55% charge. 52% after the climb.

Permalink

Power lines exist nearer to the top!

Permalink

Good. She can shoot out a recharging prong while she looks around once she gets to the roof.

Leviathan is visible as a silhouette in the distance. "Can you keep track of him? I have a comm, not as good as yours but longer range and more resistant to water damage, I've been using it to communicate with control."

Permalink

"It's not designed for this... Probably. Could take a few seconds to re-aquire when he dashes. I'm gonna need to butcher another microwave after using it on high power so much. Frequency bounding is already going out. Hair effect I think. Oh well."

The babble helps calm her.

Electrical buzzing and Vertigo pointing at Leviathan's current location.

Which isn't very useful since he's engaging superheroes—

—except then he's gone—

Permalink

"Gone-" She spins it around quickly, where is he where-

Permalink

 

 

—there!

Permalink

"There! Mile and... A quarter."

Permalink

The flier looks in that direction and shouts coordinates into a sleek white thing attached to her wrist.

Permalink

"Didn't know it'd be like this. Gear's not waterproof enough, pulse scanner's cooking itself, don't know how these fights work... He's still there."

Permalink

The capes converge on him. There are casualties, bad enough she can see from her vantage point.

Permalink

"...People're dying."
