​     "Stay low. In fact, it'd be best to pretend you're dead," Estelle said to Trevor. They left him alone. Bottom line: they needed him out of the way when the fighting intensified again.  ​

​     They came at Adama even as she came at them. Estelle, Shawnacy and Noel were elbow to elbow, so they all shared Noel's invulnerability and Shawnacy's gift of flight. Brock took up the rear. Adama had a fighting staff not unlike Shawnacy's. She clicked it open as she got to within fighting distance of the Valids. Estelle swung at her. Adama evaded her easily and got Estelle a good one to the jaw with her staff. It startled Estelle and broke her free from the other two. The second she did, Adama pitched an electro-shocker, the size of a bottle cap, so that it adhered to Estelle's chest. Estelle dropped to the ground to twitch convulsively. That angered Shawnacy so much that she came at  Adama with her staff, breaking loose from Noel.

     "No!" 

     Shawnacy was no match for Adama when it came to the battlestaffs. Adama caught Nacy in the elbow, ouch! then the knee, ouch! then right to the chin. 

     That snapped Shanwacy's head back, which pissed Brock off. 

​     "Hey!"

​     He sent a couple blasts crackling Adama's way. Adama used her personal anti-gravs to rise in the air, evading the blasts. Brock and Shawnacy went right after her.

     And all three of them all but smacked into the Silvers.

     Damn!
