... sorry," Jade muttered, wishing she could break from his spell. "So, that just leaves stretchy guy and Nate…" Trina whispered into Robbie's ear, as if he was unable to see that. He shot her an annoyed look and put his mic down, shaking his head as he got back behind Beck, his nose bleeding a bit. "Freddie, man… please tell me that you got a plan in that brain of yours," Andre said, feeling like the situation was insurmountable. "Or at least some stretching shit. Nate doesn't have the kinda reach to do much beyond like 10 feet, and they're like 20 yards away." "Guys," Beck called out. "Like Robbie said, you're not going to win this, and we're not going to hand over the cash either. I don't want to fight or hurt anyone else… just leave us alone." "Your power doesn't work on Nate, right Andre?" "Only a little bit, Freddie," Nate answered back. "Doesn't hurt or anything, just kinda annoying." "Think you could deal with some annoying for a few?" Nate nodded as Freddie whispered that everyone move back except Andre, Nate, and himself. With the exception of Jade, who remained still, everyone did as they were told.

Using his short time in the air to aim, he shifted so he could nail Robbie with his full weight, sending the nerdy teen across the floor, his glasses sliding away. Free of his control, Jade turned and started applying fire to the iced floor, trying to make a path so that they could cross fast and help him. Freddie made quick work of Beck as well, hitting him right in the gut followed by the face with some inflated hands. Though, as he touched Beck, he felt like something was really wrong with his power. He felt brittle. The paralytic fear was his downfall as he felt something around his heart grip tight and he collapsed the floor, gasping for breath. The extra second was all they needed as Beck got up and froze Freddie where he stood, and pushed him to his knees. The air was extremely cold around Freddie and he realized quickly that not only were his powers not working, but he felt like he could break if they tried to beat him.
