One shot, one opportunity.

Watching as the storm slowly increased in strength she realized all she felt was tired. Tired of her city going down the shitter, tired of life throwing continuous mounds of manure on her face and just tired in general. More to the point she was so tired that even if she failed and died here at least things would finally change.
Up on top of a building on the farthest side from the ocean Taylor finished scoping in the only real thing she ever built since getting her powers, an anti-material phase shifting 50 cal with a temporary, but strong, black hole containment in the so called bullet. She only had a single round to use but to be fair if it failed then it wouldn't matter if she had one hundred because the odds of her getting off a second shot on the Endbringer was highly unlikely.
As a wave crashed into the docks destroying who knows how much work her father put in she started taking slow deep breaths while laying down on the roof. Lightly placing her finger on the outside of the trigger she used the scopes countless settings to see a shape moving far to quick in the ocean.
"Well this is it, time to see if I'll just go down as another statistic." Taylor mumbles quietly to herself while finally putting her finger on the trigger. Using the auto-tracker to help predict Leviathan's movements she waited a single moment before firing. The colossal boom shattered nearby windows and cratered the area around where she anchored it in place.
Leviathan, despite being one of the quickest speedsters on the planet, was still in the water and from previous reports tends to make a near single line once sighted as no one has ever been able to effect him while he was in his element. This is why she fired now, it was less likely to move and with how her technology didn't care about durability of whatever it was penetrating there would be no negative side effects on the bullet.
Thanks to what she has simply termed her TB, Tinker Bullshit, the bullet moved far quicker than should be possible. Cutting through not only air but water as if they didn't even exist it punched through the lower stomach area of the monster, her hope was to remove its ability to move on land or at least hinder said movements, and a split second after coming in contact with a material that proved any type of resistance the casing holding back the black hole came apart.
Going over the videos later on showed everything in a hundred yards jerk towards Leviathan, towards her black hole bullet, before exploding outward in a yield not generally seen outside of small portable nukes.
As Taylor continued to stare at the cut in half Endbringer she couldn't help but wonder if the coming media shit storm was worth saving this rotting city. Seeing as within a minute dozens of high level Parahumans was converging on her location she figured sacrificing her quiet life to save possibly millions of others was worth it. Maybe.

Legend couldn't stop himself from staring at the corpse of quite possibly the greatest monster to have ever existed, with a body count in the millions, before using his enhanced vision to then stare at the skinny teenage girl who did the impossible. Glancing again at the two halves of what was once Leviathan he decided that the girl, that young hero, would never have to worry about anything in life again.
Money, security, friends. It didn't matter as he would see to it that if she wanted a quiet life she would have it, if she wanted to live in the limelight it was hers and if anyone threatened her or those she cared about they would be dealt with at once and without mercy.
The impossible has happened on this day and the least he could do was insure the Impossible Shot received whatever she wanted.

Bullshit Tinker babble is just that. My question, and the point of why I wrote this, is we know Hero had Scion's Stilling Wave just in technology form so why not Sting? Not going to get into how she got the material to create those things nor who, if anyone, she is affiliated with. Just felt like a nice one shot of Tinker!Taylor so wrote on up.
