( when the virus takes hold, there's no room for anything else. no regret for hurting someone that was only reaching out to help him — no panic for the reality that he was showing things usually he hid behind a mask. there was nothing, only the demented desire to sate a hunger that truly so far seemed impossible to silence. not even that had a thought.
Peter doesn't handle magic the best, even when his head is perfectly clear. it's not that much easier for him now, when his focus was refined to destruction and silencing a hunger that couldn't be stopped. he stumbles back from the shield, even though it slogs in his head, not making sense in the simplistic manner his brain was functioning at. the confusion is what saves her, more than the short-lived shield itself.
maybe a part of him remembers Electro, or he's simply ready to expect the inexplicable. when the ice appears he doesn't spend long lost on it. in fact, he doesn't even go through it. it's cold enough to sting his skin when he touches it, yet he still clambers up the sheer ice as easily he was climbing along the floor.
whether Aqua has had the chance to heal, or not — he'll try to crash down on top of her if she isn't careful. )
