Moment of Awesome - Tabitha Smith: In the midst of an X-Men mission, an injured Tabitha does her best to help take down an unstoppable cybiote.

The cybiote's sensors, completing its final system diagnostic, were suddenly snapped to attention by a not-too-distant explosion. The approximate location indicated it originated from the same area an electromagnetic distortion. The plasma-creator, then. It could detect the other energy-manipulator nearby.

Three targets, clustered together in its immediate proximity. The Fury started on its way.

It sprinted forward with hydraulic stamina, noting the explosions continuing at regular intervals. They seemed to serve no particular purpose. However, when it came to what it calculated to be the epicenter of the disturbance it shambled to a halt. While it detected lifesigns it saw nothing nothing. Though energy-manipulation lit up its sensors, those same emissions were distorting its ability to pinpoint their exact location. Methodically, the Fury began to conduct a visual sweep of the area and cycled its scanners to infrared.

It was not prepared for a detonation just over its head.

Tabitha used every trick she knew to make that bomb blow the Fury over. Non-metal shrapnel and concussive force packed into as tight a space as she could, and just enough plasma to pop the eardrums of anyone within the blast zone. "Eat that, you Frankenbeast!" Well, she would have shouted if she weren't on the edge of unconsciousness.

The cybiote rocked back as three lenses shattered from the force of the explosion. It turned to regard the three mutants hovering overhead, the fissures in its glass eyes already beginning to fuse.

Then it leaped.

She saw it move through the black spots dancing across her vision. Tabitha struggled to put together one more bomb. It was sloppy, and she wasn't entirely sure what kind of explosion would ensue.

But she lobbed it with the last of her strength anyway.
