Yeah, I know, just feels weird not to be trying to get inside their guard. How do you even like, protect yourself, anyway? Just ballistic armor an' cover?
[It seems absurd to her - it's so much faster to just go to them! But then, she does have superpowers, and guns are the go-to for everyone else, so there's probably a trick to it.]
[She tries again, after a moment to collect herself and root in the earth. She reaches for the sense-memory of a block-and-parry; accept the motion, throw it back, never forget where your feet are. This time it makes a little more sense. Each shot of the gun hits like a blow; she knows how to take blows. Blam-blam-blam - and that's a decent cluster, enough to cause problems, at least. Shoulder wounds suck more then the trids make it look - though she'd been aiming for center mass]
