[ Turns out one of the stalkers decided to jump its way up the sheer side of their little hill, and takes Maya by surprise when it appears right next to her. She puts it in a phaselock on instinct. She anticipated the slow trickle of blood from one nostril, but not the sharp, sudden pain in her head. She visibly winces and shrinks back a step, but keeps her faculties about her long enough to draw her precious little Maggie (why would someone keep that gun locked up in a vault somewhere, really) and shoot the stalker point blank in the face. That little gun hits like a hammer and the stalker drops.
Maya presses the back of her hand to her nose and deliberately does not look at Peter. That could've gone better. ]
