[ Unlike the others, Shepard didn't have a frame of reference for what was happening -- but he could figure it out quick enough, when a mnemonic wasn't enough to bring his barriers back up. Lightning's shout, something he's only dimly aware of, confirms his suspicions. He doesn't have much time to dwell on it, though -- the man under him is already kicking his way free, with an eye to turning whatever that device is on Lightning, and Shepard can't have that. ]
Eyes over here! [ Meaningless trash talk, but he rolls into a crouch long enough to lash out at the man's feet to make him stumble, crashing heavily to an armored knew while he turns to glare at Shepard. He returns it with a shit-eating grin -- and the man reaches for a gun. Aw, crap. Shepard rolls to the side before he can be shot at point blank range, another flex of his fingers confirming that his powers aren't back yet, and he swears under his breath as he dances away, keeping the man's attention on him.
That's right, just keep looking this way... He couldn't tell if Light ing had gotten the hostages out, but if she did, he hoped that she'd let him know so he can stop baiting this guy to shoot a hole in him. He's swearing at Shepard, and Shepard doesn't need a translator for the invective. ]
Easy, you're not going to get hurt, I just want to ask some-- [ The question was cut off by another hail of bullets. He really needs to figure out how to disarm the man, and he thinks wistfully how much easier this would be if he could just hurt him. ]
