[ Vex has continued to show signs of being drugged with some kind of hallucinogen. Shane is a familiar name, of course, but it's been a very long time since he was with Rafa. Their relationship is complicated, to say the least. Shane, a teacher and a pacifist, has no time for Rafa's mission, despite being just as Enhanced. Rafa does not belong with him.

Of course, all of this only serves to make Rafa more angry with Vex's captor. Hearing Janus behind him, he straightens, and his eyes unfocus. Janus' bullet halts in mid-air, and Rafa turns, ignoring Vex now. He'll deal with him afterwards. Now, he raises his hand, and his eyes settle on Janus. ]

I think you have asked enough questions.

[ At which point bullet flies back. Were Rafa feeling merciful, he might have sent it straight between Janus' eyes. As it is, Janus has blackened his lover's eyes and pounded his skin and broken his fingers. The bullet doesn't fly for their head. It flies for Their right shoulder instead, the one supporting their gun arm. At the same time, Rafa makes a fist, and that gloriously metal gun twists and deforms, wrapping itself around the hand that had shot it. It wraps around, and then Rafa takes hold of it, and uses it to haul Janus into the air. He holds them there, suspended, while he walks towards them. He's calm and quiet, his heels clicking on the floorboards. His voice is soft. ]

Now. Shall we begin? Vex, do retake your seat. You are injured, and I am far from finished.
