Michelle's mouth drops open, aghast, at the spectre confronting her. Unlike previously, this was not just a psycho bully with some unusual abilities. This was a force of nature. She was going to die.
She was going to be killed by someone who called themselves 'Death Magnetic.'
It would be like getting killed by a YouTube comments troll. Pop a few numbers or alt-characters, or maybe a phonetic spelling or two in there, and it could be a Twitter handle. D3thM@gn2tik.
Oh, not EVEN.
Michelle was not given to rash, impulsive action...but this time she didn't try to plan or THINK about doing. She just DID. She was surprised to find that the powers she'd struggled with consciously suddenly seemed to snap together and surge...far easier to control when she stopped TRYING to control them and simply allowed them to work.
She broke and ran left. Another her split off and ran right. Now there were two identical copies of Michelle, standing to either side of Death Magnetic. On sudden instinct she started jumping up and down and calling,
"Hey, you call that a name? I've got a two year old niece who could think of a better name than that! Death Magnetic? Really? Were you dropped on your head as a baby?"
Meanwhile, the other Michelle lifted her hand...and a pulse of brilliant, tightly focused light flashed out of it, burning an ionized trail through the air with a noise like a thunderclap and the smell of burnt ozone!
(OOC - Okay! Michelle uses Illusion to create a duplicate of herself, then moves herself one way and her dupe the other. She then does her 'hey look at me' trick, and fires a laser at Death Magnetic. Her laser is Indirect 4, meaning it can originate from a location other than her, and fire in any direction from that origin point. In this case, the origin point is her illusion, and it fires towards Death.
The goal here is to get Death to think she pulled a distraction gambit...distracting her with a loudmouth duplicate while blasting her with her true self. Since her illusion is sustained, I -think- she can pull this off. If I'm wrong I will revise my action.
