(I saw a story by unknown write and saw it would fit here)
“I will give you the only mercy I have ever shown any creature that would cross between her rightful place in time and space into another’s- I will give you a quick end with no pain. You will simply be removed from this timeline….” Pluto said. “LEAVE ME ALONE!” Ara screamed, dodging another blow and kicking with a high heeled shoe.
Pluto grabbed the boot with her gloved hand, forcefully stopping the attack with her mystically granted strength. She stared at the woman coldly, then blinked as she felt a cool wave of energy emanate from her hand. The glove seemed to waiver in the air, dissolving in a grey light, which slowly unraveled into nothing. Pluto was left holding the spider’s foot with a bare hand. Ara recovered from the surprise first and tore her leg from the scout’s grasp. With fury and helpless outrage, Ara spat two more balls of webbing at the scout. Pluto leapt out of range one attack, then the other. She skidded to a halt, deftly bunching herself and using her boots to stop her momentum. She glared at the spider woman….
And felt bare concrete underneath her feet. She glanced and and saw the wisps of smoky grey energy rise around her and float away. Her boots had dissolved like her glove. “What are you doing?” Pluto demanded, looking slightly annoyed. “Me? I’m not doing anything!” Ara said. “Unlikely.” Pluto said. “Well, it is an amusing trick, but it only delays your death for a moment. Pluto Power, Make Up.”
Pluto ran her staff along her arm. The grey light gathering at the coiled outward and reformed the missing glove. Pluto flexed her encased fingers with satisfaction, then raised one bare leg. She touched the tip of her staff, first to one foot then the other. Soon enough her boots were back on her feet.“I believe we should simply end this.” Pluto said, raising her staff over her head. “Dead Scream.” She whispered, causing a mammoth bath of the same grey energy to well up on the end of the staff. She released the energy at Ara, momentarily blinded by the attack.
The smoke cleared to find Ara cowering behind her hands, trembling. She blinked a moment, looking over herself, apparently as astonished as Pluto that she was alive.“What…hey, sailor bitch, are you just playing around with me? I thought you said you were going to make this quick!” Ara said. “I…How did you stop that attack?” Pluto demanded. “There’s no way-“ She suddenly felt faint, like something was ebbing away from her. She fell to her knees, feeling a huge drop in energy. With an effort, she stopped the flow. She looked down at her hands and knees. Her gloves and boots were stripped from her. “You….tell me what your doing to me!” Pluto demanded.
“Look, honey, I have no idea what your problem is!” Ara snapped, then her eyes narrowed and a sly expression came over her face. “Buuuuuut….you look a little like your losing your power over there.”
“What? How would that even be possible?” Pluto demanded.
“What do I look like, a professor? How the hell should I know?” Ara said.
