Walking Shadows 15: Last stand
Ian disappeared as soon as the tornado struck the room. He felt the winds buffet the room and his natural instinct kicked in.
Something about the wind — and the unnatural force that created it — seemed all too familiar to Ian. Like any other stray inclination from his past, he couldn’t hope to place the feeling’s origins. He just knew it was something he felt he should know.
The cyclone ripped through the room and Ian realized the damage it done must have killed the devices that inhibited his powers here. He would need them. He needed to survive. He needed to escape.
It took him several long moments to overcome the all-consuming urge to run. But he had brought his friends in to this mess and he knew he would need to take it to the end, like it or not.
He was ready to show himself when the tornado turned back into a Mexican girl. Rosa Acevedo, just like her powers, seemed strangely familiar to Ian. He didn’t know why, but something deep inside told him to be wary of her. Ian remained invisible.
He hadn’t realized their attacker had escaped until he struck Cyrus. Ian listened carefully to Rosa’s description of Doppelganger’s powers. With them all here, this Doppelganger would be nearly unstoppable, but only if he knew which powers he had and when to use them.
