Checkmate

Crashcourse slammed into my middle, sending us both flying to the ground. We both collided with a desk, sending paper and stationery to the ground with us.

I was still trying to catch my breath when the Blur started to take deliberately slow steps toward us, her whole body vibrating with her power.

I was struggling to breathe, each one coming with a crackling wheeze. Crashcourse, meanwhile, was breathing just as heavily and was holding one of her harms tight against her body. It must have been broken.

"I'm going to use every single favour I am owed with everyone I know to get the both of you locked up on the Barge," The Blur promised, her voice warbling as she vibrated her body. "Have you got any idea what the Barge is like? Not a single escape, which is crazy when you consider it holds the most powerful villains not just from this community… but from all of them. No one even knows if anyone's alive in there anymore."
