Phantasm’s tail lashed, smacking against the barrier with a crackle of electricity and the ghost cursed in a garble of static rather than living language, hitting the barrier again.
“I don’t think it’s working.” Jason said after a moment. “By all means, keep hitting it though.”
“Oh corn puffs!” She dropped out of the float, tail separating into legs as rings of light surrounded her and their small group was left with one vigilante, one sort of anti hero and a civilian. Elle then punched the barrier, her fist bouncing uselessly off it. “Damnit, I can’t get past the ghost shield!”
“Pause, we weren’t told about ghost shields.”
Her head turned back to him, red highlights a blur as her hair shifted. “A force field specifically designed to keep halfas, ghosts, spectres, screamers, or other various ecto-contaminated beings in or out depending on where they are when the shield is activated. I can’t get in, if my twin is in there, he can’t get out unless the shield is down.”
“Zombies too, I’m guessing?”
“Yeah, I guess them too. Either way, I can’t follow and I don’t think mr. brined in Pit water can pass through as well.”
All Tim was hearing was that he was now down two people on a break in. Awful odds really when they’d already started with less than ideal circumstances.
God, the city just really wasn’t on his side tonight.
Elle kicked the barrier, and from next to her, Jason reached out to tap at it with the butt of his gun, the weapon and him passing through without getting fried to bits.
For a second, the three of them stared at each other.
And then Elle threw her hands up and screeched, the sound grating. “Ancients’ sake! The revenant gets in for free?!?”

I am the kind of person that when watching something, if a character I'm very fond of goes through immense amounts of trauma I go 'noo my baby how could you do this to them' whilst simultaneously jotting down things that make the situation even angstier with a pen
