Which meant whatever had done this might still be out there waiting to strike again.
Becoming statuary was the last thing she'd planned on for today.

matt: the devil shuns the details
More worrisome than the shrieking wind though is the ground coming up fast.
Tangled up with the ninja who had tackled him out of a window and is still trying to shove a kunai blade into his side, Matt has a mental countdown running through his mind and the seconds to impact are quickly ticking away.
The timing on this has to be absolutely perfect, and even then the chances of Matt pulling it out are pretty slim.
With death coming at him in the form of New York City pavement now would be a time for the whole flashback over life and regrets thing, but that's a roll of film too long to preview in the few seconds he has left, so Matt skips it and goes straight to the part of saving his own ass.
The ninja thrusts that blade at him again, and Matt snaps his hand down, grabbing the man's wrist while his other hand goes down to the holster on his thigh.
It used to be all he carried in there were a pair of wooden fighting sticks, not much use in a moment like this, but thanks to Melvin Potter the sticks, like the horned red outfit Matt's wearing, have been given an upgrade.
Using his hold on the ninja's wrist to pull and spin them over each other so that Matt is now falling above the man in black garb, Matt holds out the new stick he's drawn from its holder and a line fires off, shooting for a roof ledge above.
The grapnel catches and Matt's descent is abruptly stopped and redirected. He makes a grab for the ninja, but his fingers only skim cloth before Matt's changed trajectory takes him away and the other man continues his trip down.
Focus switching back to himself, Matt swings out on an arc that takes him to a nearby rooftop. When he comes down it's not so much a landing as it is another, shorter, fall. He hits the roof on his side with a grunt, and just manages not to go tumbling off towards a rather ironic end.
Taking a moment to just breathe, Matt finds the mortality thoughts trying to creep in and he roughly shoves them aside to get to his feet.
Life, death and brooding can wait.
Right now, he still has a nest of ninjas to finish clearing out.
