#echo-4

Distortion

She hated the snow. No, that was wrong, she liked the snow, it was relaxing to play with a pleasant distraction from her studies. No what She hated was the cold, that dreadful horrible thing. Yet here she was, stomping through the cold martian air by Braytech, her lips pulled into a scowl as she pulled the large fluffy overcoat tighter around her body.

She was a dawnblade, she craved that warmth more than anything, she was used to the warmth, the feeling of solar rays filling her whenever she used her abilities, she was half tempted to call on her classes namesake simply to feel that warmth again. But that would be a waste of a power that took time to build up to, and she would hardly waste something so important on something so trivial.

"Echo-4 why are we here again? And why did you drag me out to mars?" She huffs, cold blue eyes glowering at the snow around her desperately wishing to melt it and provide some heat with her gaze alone, she could practically feel Storm Chasers amusement at her memory, 'The high and mighty telma, brought low by a little temperature' they tease her to her disdain.

"Well! Old Megamind said that there was some increased cabal activity on here and he doesnt want them getting their grubby hands on Rasputin!" Her exo companion cheerfully supplies before continuing "He said to take someone with me, didnt specify why so I picked you! A nerd needs her fresh air and a break from her nerdly things Telma!" Echo-4 finishes and Telma could practically hear yhe grin in her voice.

"Echo-4 has a point Telma, you've been cooped up for days in that dorm of yours, head burried in a book. Need to get out, do something stupid for a bit" Storm Chaser supplies helpfully, appearing from their space in her pocket, circling their guardian and looking at their attire curiously "Dont you think the overcoat was a bit much?"

"Why couldn't you bring Virra or Mephis? Or litterally anyone else who likes this Traveler forsaken stretch of ice?" Telma questions, turning her glower to her hunter friend, who remain unphased as ever by her annoyance. Storm chasers words echoed through her mind however and she stopped, an idea forming.

"Uh, Tel? What are you doing?" She hears her companion ask as she concentrates for a moment before throwing down a solar grenade a few inches in front of herself, sighing in delight as the miniature sun forms in front of her, warmth radiating off of it in a wide radius. She sits and holds her hands out near the burning ord enjoying it while it lasted.

"Well, Storm you did tell her to do something stupid" she doesnt pay any mind to the sarcastic remark from her friends ghost as said friends shrugs and takes a seat beside her, pulling out some old snack to munch on, she'd deal with the cabal in a moment, but first she needed to deal with her real enemy.
