Strategy vs. Blindside

I backed away until my forcefield came back up. I drew in a deep breath.

"You're full of surprises," Blindside said.

I undid a buckle and pulled my armored vest over my head in one smooth motion.

"That's not very surprising though," they said. "I can see where you're going with this. I've been at this a few years. Some of the workarounds and tricks are getting old by now."

I shifted my grip so I held the vest by the shoulder.

"The bus is back. Are they capes in disguise too?"

The bus was back? I couldn't see without looking past Blindside, and I didn't want to lose my bearings.

They were watching then?

Well, I imagined Blindside made it hard to watch.

I swung, using the vest as a bludgeon. My arm stopped, but the vest continued.
