See this symbiote said and her vision started to spin and distort.She could feel her heart beat quicken with each second, until it was an ever-present pounding inside the woman's head. It was more and more difficult to remain conscious.
And then her vision distorted into something different altogether.
With a start, Ann realized that she was upright. Only she wasn't in her bedroom anymore. She was out on the street, in front of a crushed car. It made no sense to her. An arm clad in black entered her vision and ripped off the car's door. It took Ann a few moments to realize that this must be her arm. She watched as the driver was methodically extracted from the car wreck. Steel was bent and broken like candy bars and the unconscious driver himself was pulled out as softly and easily as one might lift a large pillow.
Again her sight grew blurry.
This time she was surrounded by thugs with guns. They opened fire and screamed abuse at her. Yet, their aim was bad and Ann felt herself easily evade the gunfire. She jumped around, reaching heights well beyond any human. Soon the bellow of the guns ebbed away and she saw that only two tried to go for cover and reload. Most were staring slack-jawed at her, while she stood there with arms folded in front of her broad chest. The thugs suddenly decided that caution is the better part of valor and made a run for it. With a display of the same speed and agility Ann is on them in an instant.
Before she can see what happens next, the vision ends.
Flying. Ann was flying through the air! No, that wasn't right, as just in that moment she landed on the rooftop of a skyscraper. And broke into a run again. Right at the edge of the building, she jumped, further and higher than in the last vision, smoothly sailing over the chasm between the buildings. On and on it went, higher or lower, wind blowing fiercely against her entire body, yet incapable of stopping her. It was like performing the world's most impressive parkour.
One building was coming closer and closer and Ann felt her gaze drawn to it. Something told her that she was headed there. As she got closer, she noticed that she sometimes clung to the wall, before jumping further. Other times she seemed to somehow glide between the buildings. She couldn't move her head to make out how this was done. Finally, she reached the building and climbed, jumped and crawled to its top. For a heartbeat she was treated to the most magnificent view of Manhattan she had ever seen. Her apartment building was clearly visible in the front of the rising sun.
Then it was gone and Ann was back in her bedroom.
She was panting heavily. Her heartbeat raced up, she was taking deeper breaths now.What was that? What had she just seen? Slowly, she calmed herself, slowed her breathing
You can do all that things you saw, symbiote said.
