Convergence

[Nox]

Raffe stepped in front of him. He was trying to defuse the situation. Nox saw the scar around his neck and knew that he would - it was in his nature. It made Nox smile inside that this man thought he could stop the Atharim from shooting him. And his ploy had worked the man looked down and Nox wove a three foot thick wall of air between them. As thick and hard as he could possible weave it. He prayed it would stop a bullet and it wasn't much longer after the wall solidified and Nox tied it off that the gun went off and the bullet flew at them stopping in the middle of the wall right in front of Raffe's left eye and it would have gone through and gotten Nox if he new the type of gun - which he was pretty sure it would.

Nox shoved the plant into Raffe's hands and grabbed him with his good arm and let every other weave go. He wasn't going to be able to hold the plant and keep them safe on the run by splitting his flows. He knew his limits. "Keep this safe for me and I'll keep ups safe." Nox said as he grabbed Raffe's arm. "We gotta go."

Sterling was already running and it took everything in his power to catch up to her, and keep her safe from on coming traffic and people as she continued to barrel forward. High above them Nox heard the tiny din of a drone following them. He could turn and shoot it down, but it was just better to get out of sight. At the next grate in the alley he shouted, "Sterling, stop."

Nox didn't waste any time while he pulled the grate up with a weave of air and a might groan of the metal bending. "There are eyes everywhere they can't know where we went."
