Okay that was unexpected. Really, of all the things Adam could have dreamed up, a weapon that turns people to ice is not one of them. Sometimes he's entirely too logical for his own good. Because while he might be considered genius level smart, Adam's logic can get in the way of that. And at the end of the day, a weapon that shoots ice, or whatever it did to turn a whole person into an ice sculpture, is kind of amazing in a fantasy novel kind of way.
How did she get something like that? Why doesn't he have something like that? Is the guy dead? Will the man get hypothermia and die? So many questions are cycling through his brain when Ronan finally curses and Adam looks back over to him, reaching for him.
The red head is then fighting basically like a ninja and Adam is on sensory overload between the gun and her nearly inhuman fighting style/skills. He sort of just stands there dumbly, watching in disbelief because this is looking and feeling like something from a comic book come to life and he's pretty sure Alpha is not the place he's always thought it was.
Adam is shoved from behind and pushed to the ground close to the fallen gun and starts to reach for it at the same time Ronan does, if just because he doesn't want someone with a metal pipe and a mask covering their face to have it. Then there's another scream, only this one is amplified and he feels it inside and out. His hands go to both ears even though he can only really hear out of one of them. He can feel the reverberation of the scream in his bad ear though, even if he can't hear it, and when he pulls his hand away there's blood on it. A trickle of blood drips from his bad ear.
He's still huddling on the floor when the red-head has his hand and is pulling him along. He isn't sure he really wants to go with her after the way that scream affected him. What was that? A girl with an ice gun and a scream that jarred every inch of his insides? Yes, she saved him. But the unknowns don't necessarily make him feel all that safe. He looks frantically backward to make sure Ronan is with them.
Once in the store, he's immediately twisting his hand from hers. His left ear is still vibrating or ringing or something that it never does. It doesn't even hear. His hand presses to it and he wills it to stop. Ronan has the gun, he's vaguely aware of that. Adam is assessing Lydia and Ronan for damage. All three of them were attacked, caught up in the ruckus.
Finally, he glances back toward the main entrance to the store. "Who are those people? Alphas?" And why are they attacking them? He really hates this place.
