>The woman grins, pointing at another drone that flies into the building, blowing it up with her own bolt of energy.

"Oh ay! We got t' run o' t' place!"

>The pair begin laughing, with the man grabbing a passerby and kicking him away, causing the passerby to start running around chaotically, running outside and tripping over. . .

>Only to disappear and reappear sitting down safely across the courtyard, his facial expression still clearly showing his confusion.

"Wa. . ."

>The source of man's sudden moving is revealed after the other panicking people are moved from where they are to various safer points outside, a trail of lightning appearing around the room.

"Oi. . ."

"Ta's. . ."

>Speedrunner appears in front of the pair, blocking off the rest of the world from the pair.

"Dasher! Dazzler! How did-"

>The woman, Dazzler, interrupts the speedster.

"Oi fack off y' ginga bint!"

>Dazzler fires a bolt at Speedrunner, missing her thanks to a timely dodge.

"Ye fack off!"

>Dasher fires another bolt at Speedrunner, also missing and scorching part of the wall.

"Looks. . ."

>Speedrunner avoids a second bolt from Dazzler.

". . .like. . ."

>Speedrunner ducks under another bolt.

". . .we're. . ."

>Another bolt hits the wall.

". . .doingthis. . ."

>Speedrunner reaches Dasher, punching him square in the jaw.

". . .thehardway."

"Oi, this way!"

"Wha-"

>Speedrunner turns slightly to look at where Dazzler is, blinking as flash of light comes from the woman's hand.

>Speedrunner stumbles back as her head starts ringing from the flash.

"Don't you two learn? That. . . "

>Speedrunner shakes her head and rubs her eyes, trying to remove the effect, only for it not to work.

". . .shouldn't work. . ."

>Speedrunner stumbles forward as Dasher's fist connects with the back of her head, the ringing being joined by even more sensory overload.

>>1315
>Dasher kicks Speedrunner in the leg, causing her to trip over.

"Oi oi what, the bint's not shakin' it like last time!"

"Think i's t' bloke's stuff?"

"Gotta be, wha' a bloke!"

>Speedrunner groans from having hit the ground.

"About that. . ."

"Oi shu' up bint!"

>Dazzler joins her brother in kicking Speedrunner.

"c'mon, le's go roba bank or summit. . ."

>The twin nuisances walk away, leaving Speedrunner to her induced sensory overload.

"Gonna. . . can't. . ."

>Speedrunner begins vibrating at a high frequency, phasing through the floor and ending up in a basement below, where several arcs of electricity arc out from her, frying the electronics in the room.

"Much. . . better. . ."

>Speedrunner blinks then lifts her goggles up, rubbing her eyes.

"Third case in three weeks of someone with technology with that energy signature. . ."

>Picking herself up, Speedrunner jumps slightly as a lightbulb in the room explodes from the after effects of her earlier outburst of energy.

"Dasher and Dazzler were definitely not able to take me out that much last time, which means that this technology is boosting the powers of the Meta-Humans it's given too. . ."

>Speedrunner disappears in a cloud of lightning, reappearing in another part of the room walking with a thinking pose.

"It can also control the people using the technology. . ."

>Speedrunner disappears once again, although this time she heads out to a service corridor.

". . .although I doubt that's the case here, Dasher and Dazzler are just like that. . ."

>Speedrunner keeps on walking down the service corridor, deep in thought.

". . .does this mean I can replicate the effects of this technology? Or is it something inherent to it?"

>Speedrunner shakes her head, stopping and looking ahead again.

"Questions for later, what matters now is stopping those two. . ."

>>1316
>A few blocks away. . .

>What was once a peaceful small office has been thrown into disarray as Dasher and Dazzler continue their rampage, having selected an easily accessible building without having to cross through traffic.

>Dasher stands above a man in a suit, one hand pointed at him menacingly, with one foot on an upturned desk.

"'and over t' money, fancypants, or els' I'll go all Galaxy War on y' ass. . ."

>The man in the suit blinks, confused.

"W-what?"

>Dazzler fires off her own blast from the other side of the room, narrowly missing the man.

"Y' 'eard 'im! 'and over t' money!"

"Money? W-were a Solicitor's o-office, we don't have any money here!"

>Dasher looks at Dazzler.

"Though' these guy were mega rich tho'?"

"'s what I fought too. . ."

>Dasher shrugs, then turns back to the man, offering out his hand for him to take.

"Fair suppose, can still 'ave some fun tho'."

>The man tentatively goes to take Dasher's hand, only for it to be batted out of the way in a flash of lightning, and Dasher flies out of the office, landing with a thud outside, groaning as he picks himself up.

>On the desk, standing between the pair and the solicitor, Speedrunner stands, grinning.

"Miss me, gruesome twosome?"

>Both Dasher and Dazzler respond.

"We told ye' to fack off, y' bint!"

>Both of them fire off a new, and Speedrunner turns around to cover the man's eyes, not shielding her own.

>As the light dies down, Speedrunner looks at the two, her goggles darkened.

"Neat thing about having eyepieces in your suit, means you can have all sorts of things like variable lenses. Now. . ."

>Speedrunner rushes over to Dazzler in a flash of lightning, grabbing her gloves and ripping them off her, clenching her fist around them, causing a loud crunch to resound around the room.

". . .let's. . ."

>Speedrunner moves from Dazzler to Dasher, removing the gloves the same way and slamming them against the wall outside.

". . .why don't we talk?"

>Dasher looks down at his bare hands, then at Speedrunner.

"Fack you! Y' destroyed me new toys!"

>Dasher charges to Speedrunner, lunging at her, which she easily sidesteps. As Dasher falls, she hits him across the back of his neck and his eyes blank out as he hits the ground, unconscious.

"Feeling smarter than your brother?"

>Dazzler responds wordlessly, sending out another flashbang, which Speedrunner runs through, hitting her square across the jaw, causing her to join her brother in unconsciousness.

"Guess not. . ."

>Speedrunner sighs, running around the room and rearranging into as put together a state as she can. Once she's done, she stands in the middle of the room with the gloves in her hand, and the twins at her feet.

"Sorry about that, I'll take these two out of your hair. . ."

"T-than-"

>Before the man can finish his response, Speedrunner disappears in a cloud of lightning.
