[he won't! anyway, breathing out, tense, as she explains all of that.]

...Pretty much. I ran my mouth off at her. Said some stupid things and I guess she was more pissed off than I thought. Good thing that gun of mine was a fake, right? [since he did in fact shoot himself directly in the heart with it.] I had the Halt power, though, and my cursed cologne, so I was able to stop her and...all of that was the best I could think of to do with the five minutes I had. Just. Lock her up somewhere and keep spraying her to knock her out until morning. And at some point when my cologne started to run out I got it in my head to set up the motion detector and the fence so I could make a break for it and know if she managed to wake up enough to come after me.

Pretty pathetic plan, but... yeah. I wound up hiding out in the prison since I knew it would shut off her powers if she came inside. But things just got out of control.

It's bad enough that I let it get that bad. It's bad enough that I said all of that stupid crap that made her angry in the first place.
