"Don't worry," he answers through clenched teeth, once he's stopped glowing and can actually focus on something else but the power surge. He's got his arm tightly against the man's throat now, cutting off his air supply and stopping him from calling out. "I'm not gonna kill him."

He keeps hold of the main, avoiding his flailing arms, until the body slumps (a lot faster than a person would pass out in real life), then drops him unceremoniously on the ground. "He's just unconscious," he adds, just to make sure Jennifer doesn't think he goes around murdering people (and doesn't deserve to be rescued). He's a little out of breath now, and looking even shakier than when she first found him.
