Re: first floor somewhere
She was no stranger to violence, not even fucking close. Violence was not a novelty, it was as familiar as brothers, as friends, as protection against the forces of evil that dragged her and the people she cared about to the bottom of karmic swill again and again. She wasn't happy about being in this mall, or being in this body. She wasn't happy about running into this fucker with the smarmy smirk and the tattoos that had an intricacy and strange-delicacy that bordered on pretty. (She didn't know anybody with tattoos like that. The tattoos she knew were gutter-born or earned the hard way, on the drunk end of an ink pen and a safety pin.) She wasn't happy about any of it, but she smiled vulpine and devious at the prospect of violence because that was an old warmth that she knew too well. It was so familiar, that even if it hurt, it was preferred to the strangeness that had befallen her today.
The electricity knocked her back against the nearest wall, a slap of skinny body hitting a tiled storefront. She knew enough about impact to twist, so that she hit on her side and kept from hitting her head. The electricity hurt, but she had the distinct sense that it didn't hurt in the way that it was supposed to. It was a dull, numbing burn inside of her, it kind of felt good. This body was made for electricity, and it absorbed it like a sponge. She was brimming and buzzing and her eyes glowed, fox-like. She didn't know how to control powers, whatever she'd done before was purely instinctual reaction, but she didn't need powers to kick his ass. That actually felt like it would have been cheating when what she wanted to do was break her knuckles on his smug fucking face.
She pushed off of the wall, body singing like an exposed wire, charged as a transformer struck by lightning. The energy helped to propel her forward, and she rushed him in a full-contact sports tackle to the ground. All knees and punches and sailor-style cursing that implied a lot of sexual things about his mother. Skin zapped and sparked when it made contact.
