"Steph, it's me! Marcelo. Your-" His eyes widened at Stephanie completely and utterly not recognizing him. What had he gotten into here?

Marcelo had put up a bubble of silence around himself and Stephanie to try to contain the sound, make sure it was only his voice she heard. Though basically all the bubble did was keep people on the outside of it not hear the yelp of surprise as Marcelo got out of the way of the super hot whip.

He couldn't touch her. He couldn't do... what? He was a vigilante, not a hero. Other people trained for this. He just had to wing it.

Marcelo dropped he bubble of silence and scrambled toward a fire extinguisher he had seen near one of the doors to the garden.
