Before DuPage had a chance to act the ice swept over her head and down her front. It piled on thick and DuPage became an increasingly distorted geometry deep within. Not that for one instant Hegewisch expected this to be the end of her. Any moment she'd break out. It only took Hegewisch a few whaps to break the block off her fist and Hegewisch frankly sucked. Of course the physics might get wonky when you don't have the space to wind up an action. And the ice got thicker and thicker. It covered her from below so she could not even liquefy again.
Denver pulled up her visor and exhaled. Aurora twisted her hands and manipulated more ice, she took zero chances. At least they were smart enough to know they had to overkill the fuck out of DuPage.
The ice finally stopped building. It was like an entire glacier had formed atop the tiny stretch of Gateway Arch. The metal creaked and groaned beneath it. Something inside bent.
