Agnes looked a bit surprised. This was the first time she had ever hit someone quite that hard. The woman was obviously pretty tough, but still . . .
"Oh, man." Agnes looked down at the city below. If she had really clobbered the woman, she could have easily plummeted to her death. Is that what Agnes really wanted? The girl clutched the sword in her left hand, keeping its point low. With her right hand she pushed her hair back out of her eyes. When Agnes glanced down something gleaming caught her eye. It was her shoes. Make those boots. Agnes' hand-me-down sneakers were gone and her feet and bare legs were clad in brilliant silver armored boots of some kind. She looked down again. Her whole body was clad in a celestial-looking armor as ornately apportioned as her sword hilt. "A matching set," she mumbled. "Nice."
Agnes turned her attention back to the woman clad in the American flag. "I think this is where you turn red and vanish," Agnes said.
