Knocking down buildings

I hefted my gun, and shifted position to get to the corner of the building. From cover, I began shooting.

I could shoot at the edges of his effect, but the closer I got to the center, the more my hand the weapon's barrel struggled to stay on target. Like I was metal and a magnet was repulsing me. I did what I could, firing, targeting ground I remembered was cracked.

"We need to fall back," Aunt Sarah said. "Most of the civilians are below. We need a defensive line."

I nodded, even as I kept up my shooting, kept trying to make sure no capes were in my line of fire, even though I struggled to see straight. The highlighting and tracking effect, at the very least, marked those that Kenzie could track. Diamonds with circles within them to frame who was where, and where the various groups were.

I might have been borrowing against the future to buy time in the present, but I aimed for areas of the city that were shaky. Breaking down road with shots from the laser cannon. Knocking down buildings.

Anything to put wreckage and inconvenience in the Stranger Titan's way.
