They fell, and her powers stopped working on Remy, and all of a sudden there was a dull pulse rippling through the air, followed by the faintest hum that thudded like a heartbeat. Vertigo was left panting on the ground, shaking, bleeding, and she found she couldn't lash out with her powers. What the fuck.
