Avi and Aquila and Annie and Doc Robin and Inger Lint in ZAP! BAM! POW!
"I've killed gods." Fog and her body lit only by the lights contained inside her knee, shoulder, and chest pads, Aquila dramatically announces her presence on the battlefield -- of laser tag. "I've written more endings than you can even image beginning. Empires have fallen over my mere presence. The moon rises and the sun sets because I allow them to. Do you truly believe I couldn't handle the four of you?"
Aquila announces them one by one.
"A teenager who fell from the sky."
Hearing her words from across the arena, we find Annie, looking resolute, whispering to herself "...Gods?"
"A writer who crawled out of a hole."
Avi, looking determined, eyes casting a glance over a box obstacle.
"A pretend scientist."
Doc Robin, looking nonplussed, sitting on the stairs.
"And a paranoid, delusional lump of a man."
Inger Lint, looking— Oop, right at you. "WAIT, WHICH ONE OF THOSE IS ME?"
