[A few moments ago…]
When Adam realized that an attack was coming at them, he had not hesitated to use his new skills to increase his perception as much as possible with his current condition.
This had been quite excruciating for him but he was thankful to have done so. Thanks to his hasty measures, he was able to see how the large shell exploded in smaller shrapnels with a sheen of coating over them. He didn't know their composition, but one didn't need to be a genius to know that it would be something very dangerous for a werewolf like Natasha.
Adam had tried to use his powers to slow them or stop them in their tracks, but he still lacked enough practice to handle speeding objects properly. It was impossible for him to control so many targets at the same time more so when they were coming at them at the speed of sound maybe more.
As such he was given a simple choice. A path that divided into two paths.
Protect himself or protect Natasha.
