Glitching to Fix Time {Poor Execution, Rewrite occurring in diff book}

Ch 16: Crisis on Earth X pt 4

Sara watched her twirl and spin, her beige tulle skirt billowing out, petals raining down all around the brunette changing colors as they collided with her sparks. The assassin taking in every detail of her from the way the light streaming in through the stain glass windows was hitting her brunette hair, to the twitch of hesitation in the way she flicked her wrist to scatter the petals. Not that many guests could tell Clarity was nervous, as an assassin Sara was simply trained to notice such things. If Clarity was throwing knives a hesitation like that could be easily exploited. Sara couldn't really fathom what Clarity had to be nervous about. A 4 year old could walk down an aisle throwing flower petals. Clarity was doing a really good job too. Not to mention, She was breathtaking. More than that even. It was like she was ripped right out of a movie, as if time was slowing down, rainbows of color washing over the glitch from the stain glass windows.

Except time wasn't slowing down for Sara, reality itself was, and it was the same for everyone in that church, save for Jonas who seemed to be immune to it's a effects. A whitish green field of energy bubbling around him. Time moving normally for him. He couldn't see it but there was a green shimmer coating his eyes as white wisps clouded the edges.

"Will! Will!" Jonas hissed at his friend, but the boy got no reaction. He turned to look at the grown ups, all were still as could be. Though they were all breathing slowly. Clarity and the petals were moving in slow motion as she spun mid twirl. The music and singing choked off into a snails pace distorting the lovely sound. Jonas stood up on a pew looking around. He gasped as he saw Clarity had rainbows of lightning flashing across her just like that blonde girl he had seen last night. He looked to the back of the church. There she was. His mystery girl.

"Hey! Leave Clarity alone!" He yelled, bolting out of the row, sprinting towards her. Jonas grabbed her arm. Elicia gasped her concentration and the headbands control momentarily broken. The same energy surrounding him seeping onto her. It spun around her counter clockwise. She clutched at her headband with a whimper terrified it would turn back on.

"What were you doing to everyone? To Clarity?" Jonas demanded having tugged her outside away from everyone for good measure.
They stood on the church steps. "Who are you? Something tells me you weren't on the guest list."

"Please, I-I just want my mom." Elicia had tears in her eyes grabbing Jonas's hand. "My Dad, he's working with literal Nazi's and they're coming...they sent me ahead to-"

"Ah!" Jonas was yanked up by his suit jacket, his cry of pain drowned out from the music inside. Kara too focused on singing her song rather than listen outside. Dark Arrow held him an arrow pointing at his throat. As soon as Jonas let go of Elicia the greenish white energy evaporated and her headband turned back on. The girls expression went slack once more.

"You were sent to render everyone immobile." Overgirl reprimanded Elicia. "Why are their realities back to normal?"

"I got interrupted." Elicia knelt before Overgirl headband doing it's thing once more. "My ability did not work on him."

"So, you've failed." Overgirl scowled. "This earth's weakness infects you like a cancer. The influence of your inferior mother no doubt. No wonder Crash does not waste time on you. To think your gifted such power and it is squandered. Clearly you lack your fathers drive. Disappointing girl. Watch and learn how it is truly done."

"Now is not the time for a demonstration of power my love." Dark arrow shoved Jonas Prometheus's way and he wrapped him up in rags keeping him silent. "In your current condition it's not wise to take on both your and Crash's dopple gangers." Dark Oliver told her. "If your injury flares in battle Crash is not here to back you. While our enemies are distractible it is best to think this through. This is an opportunity we should not waste just to teach a future reich heiress how to properly complete a mission."
