Adjusts forcefield's size to grapple size changing cape

"Heads up!" I alerted the group.

The woman was flying, two inches tall, and as she got close enough to Byron, she unveiled a red laser. The range wasn't much- one foot, but when she shot Byron, she cut through the armor at his forearm and penetrated flesh.

Flying toward me, going by the scale of the laser.

I took flight, putting myself between the screaming laser pixie and the rest of my team. I couldn't risk that the laser would knock out my forcefield, so I waited, letting the Fragile One disappear, held in reserve.

A flash of red, a flash of pain, and I was the terminus of one end of the laser. I brought my forcefield back, twisted, and reached out, grabbing her around the upper body, her wrists held between two fingers. I twisted her body to one side, pointing her hands off to the side.

She grew to full size, and I adjusted the forcefield to match. She screamed in my face. The laser was weaker, if anything, while she was larger.

The forcefield grabbed the woman by the waist, still holding her arms. I lifted her. She shrank to tiny size, and I shifted my grip, still holding her. She grew again, and I didn't lose my grip.

***

Then she shrank again, trying to make use of the second or two I didn't have a firm grip. But I was anticipating it. Other hands were waiting. I grabbed her tiny body and held firm. "Chastity!"

Chastity took a step forward, almost tripping over the stair that connected the hallway to the broader stairwell. Her eyes went wide. "How do I hit her without taking her head off?"

The woman used her lasers, and this time, she was able to hit my forcefield.

"Now!"

Chastity reached out, hesitated, then flicked a finger, catching the two-inch-high Bloodplay across the cheek, knocking her out.

It might have knocked her out if Chastity hadn't had her power to K.O. anyone with a slap.

I hurried to catch Bloodplay as my forcefield fell, then handed her over.
