He fired. His leg absorbed the shock surprisingly well. But something was wrong. He'd almost completely missed the target. At such close range it should have punctured right smack dab in the middle.
What happened?
Jay assumed it was him. The first few days after the surgery he'd been in a daze. Damn medicines. But since he'd stopped taking the drugs, it'd taken a lot of focus to bear the pain. Which he'd done successfully. Even now. But it must have taken too much out of him. He must have missed. Maybe his gauge of distance was off?
He squeezed his eyes shut and prepared to fire again, but Jared signaled that he stop.
Jay secured the weapon while Jared examined the target area. He didn't quite know what the other Legionnaire was doing until the bullet floated straight at him. Jay watched in awe. How had --?
Wait. Jay had fired true! Jared had done something!
Jared tossed the bullet at Jay, but Jay let it bounce off his chest and fall to the floor. It rolled aimlessly away.
"Shit bro. You really did that? Yeah no I'm fine. Other than--"
he shook his head as his slight grin grew wider. "If I need a break after one weak ass shot, then I am in real trouble."
He waited until Jared was back at his side. "So it didn't quite work right? Well whatever you do this time, just make sure it doesn't bounce off and come back at us. I don't want to be stabbed by a kid AND shoot myself in the same week. And if I do, I'm telling everyone you did it."
He chuckled.

Only darkness shows you the light.
