Germany.
Inanna watched as the Nomad tore through the robots. He didn’t remember the yo yos, though he wasn’t paying the closest attention before.
Fighting with this strange children’s toy? The voice snarked.
How dreadfully inane. Well, Inanna thought it was cute, anyhow.
As the golem occupied himself with disabling the stray robots, he thought about asking if the lady needed any help, but she sounded like she had things under control. Until she got punched into a car. And it looked like she wasn’t going to get up for a while.
Thinking fast, he opened a portal to the area right in front of the downed Nomad. He and the robots on the other side stared blankly at each for a slight moment.
“Ummm, boop!” Inanna stammered, quickly poked each of the robots in the face with his staff. Thankfully, another Nomad arrived on the scene and poked the robots as well. His seemed to make short work of them, though. He swung his legs through the portal and slid out the other end. The ice wielder seemed to want to get her out of town.
“She only took one hit,” Inanna said. “She should be fine in a bit, right?” He still had trouble keeping track of how resilient humans were supposed to be. He looked down at the lady and offered her his hand.
“You’re fine, right?”
Germany.
Seshat shook her head at the boy.
“We would be better off not helping that man whether he needed it or-”
“Parkour.” The boy stated as he leapt and bounced off her head. Like some sort of game character. Of course. As he sped away on his ice slide, she made a mental note to remember this moment and slap herself next time she felt lonely. She watched as the robots that hadn’t been swept off their feet by the slide turn their attention towards his little igloo.
She threw her spear with mild disinterest, skewering a couple of them while she picked up one of their rifles.
By Duat, the golem thought. I was fighting smarter forces in my twenties.
Planting her shield in the road with a noticeable crunch, she raised the rifle and delivered a four-shot burst to each of the distracted robots in. When it clicked empty, she chucked it at another robot hard enough to take its head clean off. Seshat simply picked up another rifle, watching as that stupid ninja burst out of the igloo.
Rio.
Rosie stepped back as the symbiote swung its claws at him, and weaved back in immediately afterwards. It was perfect, the way the sludge hardened and froze the beast in place. Time to have some fun…
Wait, why did it feel like he was being graced? As in it felt like someone cut him with a rusty knife, poured iodine in the wound, and went on an agonizingly extended tangent about his life choices ever since he fell.
He hissed in pain as he looked to the side. Grazed by one of those light arrows, most likely. So they really were holy…
He put the thought aside for the time being as one of his gloves melted into his coat. He ran his fingers down the length of the symbiote’s casing, absorbing that dark aura that it was rife with… feeding on it. It was exquisite.
Then the sludge fell apart.
Wings of shadow sprouted from Rosie’s back and propelled him backwards, leaving a trail of black feathers in his wake. He frowned as his glove reformed around his hand. He didn’t have enough time to get his fill. It was rather unpleasant that his little angel friend had distracted him like that.
