[When Flynn evokes Peter's rage the ferocity of the attack catches Ezekiel by surprise. He doesn't understand what's going on or what he may have done, all he knows is that Peter is angry. The light is dancing above him and behind his eyes, filling his head and he screams through his teeth, lost in the confusing nothingness of pure energy and for a moment he wonders if this is going to kill him this time.
But it doesn't.
Instead can feel his life force seep into the tendril and it demands more, always more, Ezekiel needs to give it more. It's burrowing into his skull and his soul, trying to claim him, make him a part of the bright energy and part of him wants to follow the call. Maybe he can optimize the process, maybe Peter could try a second tendril, maybe they could power another planet then...
No, no, he needs to fight it, needs to keep it out of his head. He needs it to stop.
He doesn't want it to stop. It's so powerful. It's beautiful.
It vibrates with an intensity that makes him wonder just what could have possibly enraged Peter so but that thought is quickly drowned out by another wave of agony. It's so hard to think so instead, he screams again.]
