As the energy bursts from around Marv, I quickly maneuver the energy around myself. Inverted outward now, and partly infused with some residue from the Miscreant's energy, I use it to shield myself from anything he can throw at me, while also partly being able to turn his own energy against him and the others.
This won't last long but it will certainly buy me time.
“…Judge not what a man has done, but judge what he could have done if he was a different bloke altogether. For art thou a leper? And a leper can changeth his spots…” --Rudy Wade, Misfits (Series 4, Episode 8)
