[M&M 3e] Defying the Future IC

[Quellian-dyrae]

Lily raised an eyebrow as Wrath went down. "I'm sorry, were you saying something?" she quipped, deadpan.

...Yeah, she was perfectly content to call that one "all according to plan". Certainly, the fact that she had yet to so much of scratch any of the meaningfully powerful opponents wasn't only deepening her fear that her dinky little plant-transforming power just wasn't up to snuff on an actual superheroic battlefield.

Certainly.

One bad guy left. She shoved the doubts aside and focused on- well, on the electrified bronze spear that suddenly shot her in the shoulder, as it happened. Fortunately, her flesh was as hard as wood, so it didn't penetrate deeply. The force of it was enough to knock the wind out of her, though, and the shock jolted through her. The spasms would make flight impossible, and heck even walking would probably only get her a first-class trip straight to the floor.

Fortunately, she could shoot fine from right where she was.

You wouldn't, like, think so, given the big ol' support pillars that were set squarely between her and both remaining active enemies.

But those pillars did precisely nothing to keep their scents from reaching Lily's nose. And as far as providing a physical impediment, well.

Lily raised a hand, and the flesh of her palm kinda corkscrewed out to form another thorn about thrice as long as the ones she had fired at Wrath. She shot it straight across the warehouse, arrow-straight - and when it reached the center, it suddenly stopped, held immobile by Lily's personal phytokinesis.

And then her power went to work. No need for anything fancy here, she just extended that single six-inch long thorn into a lashing vine with each end tapered into a spike. She unlocked the solar energy that had been stored in those cells as she enacted the transformation, causing the cells to divide and redivide millions of times over in an instant, that burst of energy propelling the double-edged vine-spear outward in both directions - to strike at both enemies on opposite sides of the warehouse.

And if they dodged, she could still twist the vines around to take another swing.

"Yeah they're totally fine! Just unconscious!" she called back to Nope, taking a moment to smell for their vitals while she was processing enemy positioning. (She'd be honest Nope asking that had kinda worried her so she wanted to make sure. Like, she had assumed, but...yeah she'd have felt pretty bad about that taunt if they had actually been dead.)
