He tried calling out but found he couldn't breathe. The others were otherwise occupied with their own traps. He was already beginning to see stars, and with his arms pinned, he couldn't get an angle on the mechanism that was holding him to blast it. He had to think of something fast, or he was going to be spending the rest of this ‘challenge’ asleep.<br/><br/>He struggled with his arms but still couldn't get an angle enough to free himself. If he could just come up with a way to charge his arms so that they could break him loose from the inside. He tried focussing. His arms grew brighter. And for a moment, he thought he could feel it, but the lack of breath coupled with the dizziness were too distracting. He wasn't going to be able to create a new power stunt in those conditions. The built up energy in his forearms flared in a bright, errant blast through his hands. It felt like it sapped even more energy than usual, and he was dangerously close to losing consciousness.<br/><br/>He figured he had just enough time to try one last thing before lights out. His blast didn't connect with anything, but it did give him one final idea. He couldn't quite reach the jaws that were restraining him, but if he could angle it correctly, he just might be able to hit the mechanism armature.<br/><br/>Digging deep, his arms flickered, then brightened with one more charge. He waited for his moment but knew he couldn't wait too long. His blast went off and connected with the armature supporting the clamp. The clamp didn't quite give way though, but did send him falling sideways toward the floor. As he hit the floor, he blinked out for a moment.<br/><br/>When he opened his eyes, he found he could breathe again. At first, he thought the challenge might be over, but a quick look around and he could see the others still caught up in their own goings on, and X-20-Wolverine-something was still as scrappy as ever, laughing at them. She was actually laughing at them. Looking back again, he discovered that the clamp had been disintegrated, freeing him. He was panting quickly and stopped himself to take a deep breath and recover. He looked around and found he had Alex to thank for it. Kevin nodded to him, using his Empathy to project just how thankful he was. Then Kevin turned around and blasted the hell out of what was left of the armature out of spite.</div>
