[i]With reactions only enabled by his prosthetic arm, Drake raises the blue shield on his gauntlet. Instead of creating an energy barrier, it creates a ridiculously powerful electromagnetic shield, that catches the bullets and one of the grenades, and tosses them back at JT, before it collapses. He catches one of the frag grenades, and creates a telekinetic barrier around it, absorbing the energy it releases as it detonates. However, the other grenades explode right at his feet, and his body is sent flying several meters, his armor smoking. He throws his hand out as he lies on the ground, and a crackling fog is released rapidly from his palm, obscuring the battlefield. You expect to lock onto him with your tag sight, but whatever this electric smoke is, it seems to be interfering with target locks. [/i]

[i]JT just chuckled as he activated the X-ray of his suit, to see past the dense fog and the hell of electric smoke and purple miasma that was the Shi Canyon. JT had a few tricks still up his sleeve although the Marshal wasn't to employ them yet, so rather he used the tiny bit of magic he possessed - And yes he does possess some after a long operation - To create a barrier of metal around him, a ring in the dirt. [/i]

[i]Drake allowed him to create the barrier, taking the time to lick his own wounds and focus his power during the brief respite. He hadn't yet attained mastery over his powers, and embarking on such an ambitious plan as he was plotting required focus. For now, he'd ask a question that had been gnawing at him for weeks.[/i] "So, why did you and your men shoot Beta? Nice, innocent girl at the wrong place at the wrong time? It isn't SOP to shoot civilians that're only scary, y'know, especially if they're just kids. So why'd you do it?"
