Dick took a glance over at the building destroyed by Dust being launched into the air, half-tempted to rush over and attempt a rescue. But there wasn't time for that. Right now, he needed to bring the culprit down as quickly as possible, and that meant dealing with them later. He watched Marcus begin fisticuffs with the man, and then dashed to a new spot, charging an energy bolt and then firing at Centurion. Not waiting to see if it hit, he dashed again before his enemy could react, and then began a run around him, firing his eye beams the whole time. He felt sizzling on his eyes. Dick had nearly forgotten that. Another dash, and he prepared to do another technique, when he managed to pass just too close to Centurion. He was grabbed, and the grey-clad warrior discharged energy into him, causing Dick to shiver with pain. When he was let go, he immediately bolted away, reforming a strategy. He had limited options, but he'd have to manage.
Centurion's body crackled with electricity, and he held his arms up as if threatening others to come up. Moon Knight ran forward, throwing two crescent darts and hitting Centurion in the chest. Cade was stunned for a second, as his HUD displayed a warning. It was just long enough for Moon Knight to swiftly slam his knee into his stomach. He was winded, and it was just the opportunity Dick needed. He poured his energy into a continued eye blast directly on Centurion's back, pushing him forward slightly. Centurion took a moment to get up, and then slammed his fist into Marc Spector, hard enough to knock him back a bit. Dick dashed up and kicked him, then attempted to dash away. Centurion grabbed him just as he began to make an escape and slammed him against the ground. Dick groaned as he lied there, and Cenny began to focus on the other Avengers. He sent an eye beam straight into Centurion's head when he turned around to face the others], causing him to duck and then turn toward Dick.
"Stay down!" Dick flashed away as soon as Centurion turned around, trying to think of something he could do. Obviously his normal attacks weren't working. So what could he do? He racked his mind for something and scanned the area. Security cameras could work as a weapon if he overcharged them with energy, but he doubted the imperials would be happy about him taking their precious privacy-violators. It's a possibility he could find something in a restaurant nearby, but that would almost definitely take too long. But nearby was the perfect thing. A plain, grey box connected to the ground with clear warnings on it: warnings of electrical shock potential. Dick ran over and pulled the top off, revealing a mass of wires below. Clearly, most of their enemy's power came from his suit. If he could overcharge the suit then, hopefully, Centurion would be defenceless. Dick tore several wires out, as they crackled with electricity. He avoided touching the ends but still shuddered as he held the charged cables. He bursted behind Centurion, using the cables like a whip on his back.
Centurion groaned as he was hit, his body shivering from the shock. Dick grabbed near the ends of the cables-just far enough away not to get shocked-and put them in a loop around Centurion's neck. He pulled, choking the warrior as he tightened it more and more. Cade grunted, then tore the cables around his throat, throwing them onto the ground. He tried to punch Dick, but Dick managed to pull off a burst of speed, again going behind him. He kicked Centurion's ankles, then bolted away.
"Why don't you come out and fight?" Dick ignored Cade's jests and fired an energy bolt from behind a wall, then ran again to a different spot. He was trying his hardest to hide it, but Centurion was obviously taking damage from everything the Avengers were doing. While Centurion was annoyed by Dick's blasts, Marcus rushed at him, attempting to tackle him. Centurion was brought down for a second, but pushed Marcus off and jumped back off. Dick was hopeful that this fight would be over soon. They were whittling him down, attack by attack. And soon, the damage would catch up to him.
