Flanz - Dodges baseball bat swing

From his current position, a full swing of his bat would never reach someone so entwined with him. But he brought back his bat anyway, aiming only to jab the smooth circle of metal that served as its knob against the hand skittering fingers spiderlike across his chest.

She was quicker than he expected and even with the element of surprise she fluttered off him before the knob even came close. He whipped around, knowing that if she could transform him into something useless with a snap of her fingers he needed to attack hard and fast to stop her, but she danced out of his range, trailing an elegant arabesque of pixie dust in her wake as the clamor of her court shifted and Jay found himself suddenly within a wide-open circle.
