Platinum had dropped to one knee as soon as she felt the shockwave from the explosion, taking on a more compact form to avoid the shards of glass now streaming through the air. The ambience of words changed into discordant screams, but Platinum had already dialed 911 on her Scroll.

"VPD, this is Huntress Platinum Roads, we have a situation at the Corner Cafe at the intersection of Sixth and Ninth Street. There's been an explosion of some sort, I can't see whether anyone's been injured yet, but we need an emergency response team. No visible suspect, I'm going to investigate."

She ended the call and raced forward, ears ringing and thick smoke billowing from cars that had been caught in the explosion. She hoped so badly that everyone who was in the shop had enough Aura to shield themselves from the worst of it, but it was unlikely. The stench of metal tinging the air was an unmistakable indication that her hopes were false. And the voices around her, the pain... saying help me, help me... but she couldn't see a thing. Not with all the smoke everywhere.

Platinum gritted her teeth and closed her eyes, then spread her arms outward in a pushing motion. From them, streams of steam spread and coalesced, pushing the fumes out the broken windows and into the sky. Only once it had cleared did she drop down and examine the wreckage of the cafe. And it was really, really bad.
