46-Home on the Range

Hyper glared at the young blonde in the lab doorway with the axe. "Okay, first of all," she began, "That's a melee weapon - and you're way over there. Secondly, I doubt you're going to use it, so I call your bluff. And finally..." She reached up to tap at the hourglass shaped pendant around her neck. "I can control the axes in my domain."

The axe in Lyn's hand suddenly jerked out of her grasp, almost causing her to fall down. It flew across the room, to where Hyper caught it and set it aside.

"Um, rescuing you?" Lyn said, now rather nervously. She looked back to Hyper, and with more confidence than she felt, countered with, "You should give up though, because logically speaking, as long as I stay vertical, me and Para must have exactly one solution!"

"Oh yes? Then maybe you don't stay vertical," Hyper countered, stepping to her lab bench and picking up her ZPM. She grinned. "Silly girl... you should have brought a projectile weapon."
