Daniel jumped up into the air as soon as the Splatterer's blasted himself up, but the lieutenant merely created distance, and didn't avoid the attack completely. The force of that blast threw him further back, along with showering the area in smoke and car debris. His body flew wildly in the air for only seconds before he regained control with bursts from his energy vents, the shards and flaming metal from the car from earlier blew upwards in the explosion, putting him in their way.

The glass was harmless, merely shattering against his suit and body, but with the smoke rising and clouding his vision he only just saw the car from earlier break into burned pieces, thanks to Captain Explosion. The lieutenant braced himself as a piece of the car collided with him, throwing him to the side, along with leaving him both shaken and stirred.

The smoke was everywhere, Daniel could barely see the ground around him, and so he figured he was moved a little further from the fight than he thought. Unshielded people might have had trouble with the dust and ash permeating the air, the Lieutenant would have no such trouble, his suit was designed for situations just like this. But he needn’t worry about that either, he reached out a few feet with his telekinesis and forced a bubble of mostly clear air around him, so he could see where he was going.

To where the Splatterer was, Daniel focused his hunter’s senses to sniff out his prey, even through the gourmet smell of death, and the dust still coating the area, he could see him. He was experienced with moving carefully and quickly as he had spent many months hunting villains and heroes, but with the landscape the way it was, even he still had trouble catching up.

As he got closer the smoke cleared, allowing Daniel to see what was currently going on, another hero was taunting the Splatterer, drawing his attention. The girl looked like she had taken the brunt of the fighting so far, maybe he could come back in a little while and take her, but for now it was best she lived.

Daniel kept to the side and as moved himself back to the fight, if an opportunity presented itself he would be here to strike as well. He unsheathed his knife again in preparation, the knife knew they had done nothing yet, but it still anxiously awaited to be fed, along with Daniel.
