They are capes. They are supposed to be smart.
So how can they have been so stupid?
Ballistic raised one hand and spammed the broken rubble and concrete at Kid win.
"Hey!" Ballistic shrieked, "Little -!"
Kid Win either couldn't make out what he yelling, or had simple never heard that particular slur before. But it was directed at Vista. Ballistic must have realized that there was a girl in the fight because all of his attention was directed at her now.
Concrete flew at her, as did the expletives.
Kid Win looked up and saw Sundancer moving her orb above the ground. Despite the enormous concentration and force of will it clearly took, as soon as the fire slipped even a little, her entire team was on her.
"You dumb bitch!" Trickster yelled, "This is why you never made the team!"
"Shut the fuck up! "Perdition yelled. "You're barely diamond 3!"
"Fuck you!"
The entirety of the Travellers devolved into name-calling and bickering.
He looked around at the scene. Sundancer had apparently already left, her orb just hovering where it was last left, someone screaming for her to get back and 'do her only god damn job'.
Trickster and Genesis were tangling with Weld and Clockblocker, but now Trickster was raising his octaves to glass-shattering levels whilst hurling insults at Perdition, and Genesis was trying to drag him back into the actual fight.
How do they even function as a team?
Kid Win wiped at his visor and checked the charge on his gun. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Weld throwing something at Ballistic and then charging in.
That's when multiple bombs went off.
Not explosions.
The N-bomb.
The F-Bomb.
Even the E-bomb.
It didn't matter who they were directed at, the shockwave of it stunned the Wards, except for Shadow Stalker, who pressed the attack, hanging just out of the building enough to fire her bolts and then duck back inside.
"Fucking hax!" whined Ballistic, redoubling his efforts to destroy the wall. "Way to fucking clip you cheating-ass bitch!"
Trickster switched him with Genesis, sticking a finger in his face and adding some choice words.
"Stay in your fucking lane!"
"Fuck you, you ass." Ballistic shoved him and Trickster went flying away, but not before switching places with Weld, who was suddenly in a different postal code.
"I'll fuckin' go to your house and fuck your mom you fucking loser!" Trickster swore as he got off the ground.
"You couldn't even find your way back there your fuggin idiot! And you're too much of a virigin to know what to do when you got there!"
Glory Girl took the opportunity to rush them but was switched with Trickster at the last moment.
Suddenly Ballistic was in front of her, punching her in the chest and she was gone, over the horizon in an instant.
"Fucking whore!"
Kid Win saw Genesis throw up her meaty crab-like hands and float away.
Perdition was too busy shouting at Shadow Stalker to notice.
"Get out here you slut. Quit camping! Come on! 1v1 me! Let's fucking go!"
Kid Win knew that this was his best shot, so he raised his laser pistol and fired.
The burst that came out was a red jolt of lightning that struck Perdition square in the back sending him toppling forward mid-stride.
Then, he was back up. The villain was again, pacing furiously and back to where he was a few seconds ago, but even angrier this time, as he whirled around to find his attacker.
"You-!"
Kid Win shot him again.
"Fucking-!"
Zap.
"Spawn-!"
Blam.
"Camper!"
Pow.
Each time the red bolt hit him, and each time Perdition came back trying to evasive and screaming at Kid in retribution.
The hero looked quickly at the readout on the battery pack.
95%
He could do this all day.
