(she wasn't avoiding the blow so no hero point spent)Deflection roll:  26 success Monica crouches down and leaps across the first truck to slash at Flick, flanking the woman.  Somehow, Flick seems to see her coming, twisting deftly even as her energy tentacles slap at Monica's hand, knocking it wide. Attack roll:  22 hitsDeflection roll:  23 success Mantis has a horrified look on her face and rushes over to the non-dead Anithos, the dead one being far from saveable.  She seems to bring him around somewhat.  The rest of the situation seems to have left her mind. Michelle, you feel somewhat the same was as Tara does, but your innate resistance to mental influence is probably helping you cope better than she can. Loki, SJ are up!</blockquote>
