This was definitely new. Kasey finds herself being blown towards the middle of the room, the wind too strong to have come from outside. Desperately, she latches onto the the floor-length that she'd been relying on, grabbing on to the lip of one of the metal slats that was now free of merchandise to keep herself from flying further inward.
She waits for the wind to stop before moving again, sneaking towards and hopefully out the door as silently as she can. She's not sure another misdirection will turn his head for even a moment. Not unless something heavy slams against the other door, maybe...
No. She needs to go. Now.

Khan doesn't hear any yelling, grunts or any other pained sounds. That didn't make him happy. It's possible she had already escaped, but if she hadn't Khan didn't want to make it easier for her. Everything that was being compelled inside now suddenly shifts up where he intends to jam everything into the ceiling!

Ooooh boy. Oh boy, oh boy, oh ---
Oh no. There go her stolen hard-won goods. Canary's spoils are now joining the stuff on the ceiling, though she's desperately trying not to join them. At this point, she's hugging the shelf to hold herself in place. Some of her gadgets loosen, too, and the ones that were more or less held in a pouch...well.
The ceiling is hit with a few explosives (aggression - destruction level 1)! Good job on team effort, Canary and Khan!
Then there's the fact her airway is still irritated from the pepper spray. The shift in wind and now debris leave her coughing again!

The explosion took him by surprise, forcing Khan to drop everything from the ceiling as he prepared to protect himself! When he seems okay, he wipes his eyes again and takes a blurred look around the room!

Since Canary saw her explosives go upward, she had time to prepare, turning her face to the side in case any debris fell from the ceiling. she had no idea how long the wind would last or what would come next, and she didn't want to risk any further damage if she could hep it. Her fingers cramp, grip loosening and forcing the so-called super to grip the shelf even tighter with her arm when the wind suddenly stops!
It's her only chance. But then merchandise and other store materials begin to fall as well as the ceiling itself, a storm from the ceiling that now had holes in it, thanks to her. No, thanks to Khan and his obsession with whatever this was for. But no matter how she tried to justify it, the destruction left a bitter taste in her mouth. This wasn't a chosen target. Not for her. It was collateral damage.
But that doesn't stop her from letting go as she realizes there's no other wind or anything else to hold her back. Scrambling to her feet, Canary pushes herself to go for the door, only to be stopped by a coughing fit. Between her irritated everything from the pepper spray and the damage of flying into the counter, the dark-haired woman wraps her arms around her head to protect it once again from everything that was suddenly falling on top of her.
When Khan looks, he can see his opponent, or part of her, half buried under the small mountain of items that he'd been tearing up the store with. She lays on her side, somewhat facing him and unconscious.

Well, he had put her down. It lacked all finesse and was such a sloppy fight it made him sick, but Khan had succeeded. He wipes his eyes again before walking towards her. He stops just shy of her and crouches down. He reaches for her face but pauses as his ears perk up--sirens.
It was too soon, if he confronted the police now tonight would be a complete waste. Khan stands up, looking to the exit and back to Canary before exhaling softly and choosing the former.
Khan leaves Canary to the authorities for now.

Something breaks through the dark haze. The sound of sirens, and her breath hitching in her throat as she sputters and coughs on the dust still wafting from the debris. Uncertain for how logn she was out, Canary blinks and tries to rise, pushing away the bits of celing and other stuff that had fallen on her. She could feel her stomach burning like a slow, bitter flame as she pushed herself to her feet, trying to find sight of her attacker, but there was none.
Just a giant mess and a lot of evidence with her name on it if she didn't get out of there, and quickly.
It feels odd to stumble, and it's by far the most graceless escape she's ever made, but she's alive. That's what mattered.
The shouting outside the store grows louder as she disappears out the other exit, ducking into the alleyways and backstreets until she can be rid of her costume and the aggravation that comes with it.
Khan, huh? She'd remember the name, alright, and maybe invest in a little thing known as revenge - after laying low and some solid sleep.
