If Leah had responded, Beth didn't hear her. Gemini's head throbbed uncomfortably for several seconds, rocked by the contact with the pallets. Liz had enough room to gain a foothold, and shoved the more stalwart of Gemini's personalities from the forefront. She pushed loose hair from her face before retaking cover. Her fingers came away from her temple red. "Fuckin' A, seriously?!" she hissed. Fine. Whatever. It'd heal in a minute, maybe three if whatever was dampening their abilities wasn't dispatched.
When Scuito's fleeing muscle returned seconds later with five newcomers added to the head count, Gemini was no longer reluctant to cause mass damage. She hardly had the chance. In the middle of generating an entropic cloud of flesh-eating microbes to throw their way as a welcome present, bullets peppered her targets. She sent the cloud (weaker than it should have been, but still effective) at the stragglers.
"Boys, always taking what doesn't belong to them..." She grinned in response, sliding her back down a metal girder for cover. "You didn't just rescue me, did you?" A tease, of course. "Just don't ask for favors later."
Gemini jerked her chin at Phantom's limp, bleeding corpse. "No sign of her? Shit." Meredith didn't take long to show up after she died. Liz had a moment's panic, wondering if whatever was interrupting their abilities would nullify her resurrection. No time to worry about it now. She was about to hail Backlash again on the comm to make sure he didn't need immediate support when automatic burst fire sounded on the other side of the warehouse, accompanied by what was surely a man's gurgling expiration. It was impossible to know if he was one of theirs.
