He was about to answer when he felt it coming, darkness closing in on the edge of a blade...
Stopping dead in his tracks, Tommy ran through at least three different tricks in his mind before he raised a hand behind him and caught the knife before it could sink between his shoulderblades. Bullet catch, knife catch...it was all the same shit.
With a hard look, he brought the knife forward, flipping it with an expert grip that felt somewhat alien. He hadn't had much practice with knives, but maybe it was just part of the power...
"Showing you that sometimes getting bullets or knives thrown at me ain't always a choice." he sighed, gesturing for her to wait a second as he turned on his heel and shut his eyes, focusing...
A moment later, he drew back with one arm and flung the knife back into the darkness. A heartbeat later, they both heard a distant, sickening scream.
Turning back to face her, he manged a small smile. "C'mon, let's get outta here before that thing gets back on its feet. We got a good twenty minutes, it'll lose us by then."
