Rage Against the Machines (IC)

Torque watched as Ironclad slammed Dirae to the ground, with little effect unfortunately. Another disk formed in Torque's hand even as he started to charge the woman. He threw it forward before he'd even taken two steps. He scowled as it zoomed right over her shoulder, missing her. He quickly keyed a change in his energy matrix, rerouting energy to the suit's strength systems. Continuing his charge, he extended his arm and slammed it into her as he raced by. Skidding to a stop, he spun to see how effective it was.

Ironclad watched at Torque's first attack sailed past the energy controller, but his second managed to rock the woman back several paces. The armored heroine took advantage of the villainess' divided attention to divert power from her thrusters to her wrist blasters. She hung almost perfectly still in the air, a sitting target for anyone with any training in tactics, but this duo seemed motivated by rage than a clear plan of attack. She let lose with a roaring blast that momentarily lit up the riverside like a flare; it hit the young woman and popped her energy bubble before bouncing her off the pavement a few times. When the energy of the blast faded, the woman in the black uniform was face-down and unmoving.

Ironclad dropped down quickly and knelt to check the woman's pulse -- slow but steady. She was just knocked out, not in any permanent danger. The armored heroine caught Torque's eye (as well as she could, anyway, from behind her blank mask) and nodded. "She'll be fine," Ironclad assured him. "Check on 'Ajax,' would you?"
