[Lina can feel something prickling at the back of her neck, but she doesn't have any sort of sixth sense or anything (that would be wild if she did) and instead just ducks out of what she thinks the way is going to be. there's a couple unfortunate things there, though—first, that it means she has to stop punching to dodge, and second, that she doesn't get out of all of them and ends up taking a couple magical daggers to her left shoulder. she cries out and drops to a knee, but not at all in deference.]
Fine!
[now she'll have some adrenaline in her. now things are going to get interesting, since she's never been in this kind of situation with her new strength. pushing up from her inadvertent kneel, she kicks at the blade barrier in front of her with the tip of her steel-toed work shoes. she'll deal with the pain in her shoulder in a second, but right now she's on high alert for any attacks, too. keeping her head on a swivel there, Nat.]
