Even having asked for it, the sudden manhandling is a little unexpected and Saralegui gave the tiniest little squeak of surprise, mercifully muted to the rest of the room by all the rest of the room's chaos. He barely managed to get a grip around the other boy's neck before suddenly they were off, and it was like being carried off by a runaway horse but a thousand times more intense.

All too soon, the terrorist was before them, and it took him a second to catch up. It was a tense second, just enough time for Neutron to refocus on them and move his working arm towards them--

--and then Saralegui's eyes were all aglow, a powerful command in Neutron's own mind telling him to stop.

It was so easy this time, a proper sentient brain to dominate and overwhelm. Nothing like the struggle of the Lux's inhuman minds or the iron wall of Yuuri's will. Saralegui let out a breath, quietly relieved by the familiarity of it.

"We're done," he announced simply, attempting to slip out of Thad's grip back to the ground.
