Freddy pulled the trigger again. Just like all the other bullets, his shot hit her bracer, held diagonally across her abdomen. On the news reports, the footage was never good enough to see how the bullet didn't spark like in the movies, it kinda melded with the bracers like mercury.
He still had one bullet left. As long as he had that, he thought she was obliged to be wary. "Big tough super-lady," he spat. "Needs fucking armor to protect her."
She seemed amused. Held her arms at her side. Freddy didn't wait. He pulled the trigger.
The bullet hit her face, leaving a mote of powder burn, and ricocheted. Diana's arm blurred and when Freddy could see it again, her fingers were inches from his face, the bullet pinched between them.
"They're not to protect me."
