Orla, Texas, Early Saturday Afternoon

[weldedtomyspine]

Dinah and Jaime had gotten up early, and Dinah had helped walk Jaime through an actual plan for investigation. Which was much better than his "plan" of going back out to Orla and "trying to find something helpful".

So they were back out in the desert, driving old, mostly abandoned roads. Jaime didn't have much to say, and Dinah seemed willing to let him think. So the silence drew out between them until they finally arrived. "There's Mrs. Wilson's car," Jaime said as he pulled in behind it and stopped the car. "I found her phone a couple of dozen feet away, just lying on the ground."

"Let's examine the issue from up close."

And Dinah grabbed the guy with her telekinesis, pulling him out of the shadows and a lot closer to them.

"-- say, within hitting distance?"

As soon as he felt himself lifted, Tynan made a fist and the moisture in the air finished coming together with a rush, forming solid walls of water around the heads of his opponents.

Or at least some of them.

"Wow." Blue Beetle rushed forward, charging the fae, "did you just miss the fact that I'm wearing armor?" Come on, dude!

Dinah choked for a second, then ducked down, out of the reach of the water-bubble, and furiously yanked the guy even closer, toward Jaime. "KICK HIS ASS!"

Actually Tynan had not been aware of the armor. He'd been hanging with some odd fellows (http://www.stuffoflegend.com/Ambar/02Characters/Incarnates/Gobbah/deepone_bw.jpg)lately, you see, so physical differences really didn't register anymore when your cousin looks like half a shark. The human just hadn't registered as fae.

Tynan pulled the water away from his opponents and to him, wrapping himself in it... hoping to try to exchange himself (http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Ninja_Art:_Water_Replacement) for it in whatever magic this was pulling him.

Manhunter was gasping for breath as the water pulled away, but she was definitely scowling. "Water, huh?" She hefted her baton. Time to see just how well this guy dealt with electricity.

Dinah, meanwhile, was drenched again, since the switch with the water-form had left her with a body-weight of water being yanked toward her with a sudden increase of momentum as the density dropped.

"...ugh," she proclaimed. "Sneaky."

[theytookourjobs.livejournal.com]

Escape made from the magic that had been tugging at him, Tynan was now trying to sneak a roundhouse kick at the back of the armored human's head.

[weldedtomyspine]

"Seriously?" Blue Beetle exclaimed again in surprise, ducking slightly and swinging one arm up to catch at the foot aimed at his head.

[theytookourjobs.livejournal.com]

He was going to regret not starting with the magic user, wasn't he?

"Seriously," Tynan replied, throwing his weight forward so that he could try to overpower the human, at the same time he added some water to the soil below the feet of his opponent.

[weldedtomyspine]

That was just enough for Jaime to lose his balance, and his grip, stumbling slightly as he tried to get out of the sudden puddle of mud at his feet.

Right. IF he was going to keep messing around with his form-- better ot mess with the environment, than the actual defender.

Dinah threw a blast of TK at the ground under the Fae's feet, opening up a crack several feet long and several inches wide.

Tynan fell, cursing in a language probably none of them recognized. He hadn't expected them to be able to affect the ground so he had to take a moment to gather himself.
