Since Tony call to arms, Fractal had been frozen. Gunshots, pistols being aimed... it scrambled with his fight or flight mechanis, and the response was the typical nothing.
But it all happened so fast... the exploding bike, Sam action, Tony limp body on the floor and the surrendering of the Three Kings; Fractal couldn't even relax and take a breath, and another gunshot was heard.
He turned just in time to see Sam's lighting reflexes disarming Maria. Her features... what a terrible thing despair can make to someone...
Time had allowed him to regain self-control. Shaking out the last of the terrible sensation, Fractal walked closer to the girl and said, in a gentle voice: "Calm down, girl. Tony's not dead. He is just unconscious. Sam shot him with a taser, nothing more. We had no choice. Now, calm down, and think about it. everything is just turning out to be the better."
