Sorry, sorry. It's my job to tank attacks, but... maybe not like that. I didn't have my power from here, or anything from home, or my shield... [ sighing, but he slides the note across once he gets it out. ]

Heroes are not all powerful. Even they have only so much energy to go around, and the more it is used, the less they may hold in reserve. With only twelve heroes, even if each calls upon reinforcements, they cannot share their power with too many others, lest they be stretched too thin. As this battle grows longer and they continue to give those parts of themselves away, their power will wane as the moon’s waxes.

Yeah, it's just them. [ frowns bc albedo damb ] I'll get it... but tonight I'll go find a phone. Maybe I can rip open a seam in my bag and hide it in there, because no one ever really checks my stuff, or at least - no one's checked the bag since I started bringing it. [ because he's tired, and hurt, and probably shouldn't be running around checking every piece of evidence by himself to confirm their relation to the cases. if he can spread it... ] Promise I'll be careful.
