He simply preened at the praise, before snagging the backpack. "If it is stupid, but it works, then it wasn't stupid. Besides, I had my armor and shield, and the potion should have made it possible to control technology with a thought, so at WORST I would have been a bit bloodied."<br/><br/>He waved to Natalya, as he pulled several items out of the backpack to work on while he recovered. "Got a report about the incident, and did some real world combat testing on Elizabeth. She will beat me black, blue, and red later, but it means you don't have to purchase all the paint ball guns."<br/><br/>He reported how fast and long Elizabeth had been able to fly, as well as that she managed to keep him from getting hit, but wasn't up to actually stopping bullets with her mind. Deflecting or throwing things into their path, yes, but not simply shoving them aside and into other opponents. He suddenly paused, and looked down at the piece of metal, a shell for the listening devices Jackie had wanted, intending to stock up while he was in the med-bay, but for some reason, he couldn't get it to deform like he normally could. He glared at the metal, before realizing he couldn't 'hear' it either, and his expression suddenly froze and began recoiling into one of horror. "And I seem to not be able to 'outfit' at the moment. Huh."
