AJ stared at Ethan with as the plan became known to him before rushing off to his assigned task with no nod of agreement or any other notion of approval to man's plan. Whatever just happened to him wasn't just a normal telepathic link he was accustomed to but something foreign. The information wasn't relayed to him as if someone was speaking to him but rather just appeared to him as a full and complete plan with no gaps in explanation. How was the man able to do this? Was it something similar to what Alistair was able to do or maybe a form of mental manipulation or perhaps something different altogether. Either way AJ didn't like it. He had enough people in his short lifetime screwing with his head and here was yet another person deciding to do so. Giving a slight nod towards Omar once he got himself in place, AJ fired his first shot at the Vile. Although the gun was adapted to lessen the recoil, it was still strong enough for the boy to stumble back a bit before regaining his balance. He could tell that this would be leaving his shoulder stiff tomorrow but at least it was a better option than having rigor mortis stiffen up his whole body. Loading the gun up for another shot, the boy fired it up in the air this time. With a firmer stance and being prepared for the recoil, the boy withstood the shot a bit better this time and was able to load the gun up in a smoother fashion before going through the cycle again as he kept a careful eye on the others and the Vile. He wasn't going to let himself get left behind nor let the Vile get a bit too close for comfort.
