Steel Umbrella

    Mist made sure to keep dry. Dampness would only slow her down, and she couldn't afford to slow down. So she'd navigate the catwalks with her Steel Umbrella deployed, keeping dry from the rain. The Rust was aware of her, but as long as she kept to herself, they left her alone. She's not one they wanted to get involved with. They'd heard too many stories of those that'd received her Steel Umbrella in response to their challenge.
    The Rust knew they couldn't leave her with that power, so they eventually sent armed busters to face her, but their weapons were no match for her Steel Umbrella. She'd either have it in front of her, blocking all the bullets before they knew they had pulled the trigger, or she'd have used the aerodynamics of the weapon to flip out and escape. That thing caught a surprising amount of air for what it was.
    When Mist realized the Rust was going on the offensive, she knew her only choice was to offend back. She sought confrontation, all while ensuring to stay dry.
    One particular day she spotted three unarmed guards patrolling a wide catwalk, and she leapt from up above, flipping in the air with her Steel Umbrella deployed. She retracted the weapon as she landed, rolled, and beat the three with it, sending them falling off the platform. The poor decoys.
    Shots rained down upon her, but she had her umbrella back up as soon as she finished the decoys. The shots ricocheted off of the canopy with a ping, which gave Mist an idea. But first, stay safe.
    She dodged and rolled forward during a lull in the shots, and when she spied the armed Rust, she threw her Steel Umbrella right at them, risking dampness upon herself. She climbed up to their platform and retrieved her weapon. It had hit one, and the others took cover, knowing her reputation. Cover didn't help, she found them each, and smacked them out and over the catwalk, sending a clear message to them and their organization not to mess with her, or her Steel Umbrella.
