...ah. So the clever ploy was "really big explosion."

Alric brought an arm up to shield his face at least somewhat from the flash and any debris, and braced himself against the shockwave, taking stock quickly of the aftermath. Reimu looked to be in bad shape--but Shaw was at least stunned, which was something, and called for a prompt response.

Marisa was checking on Reimu and Flandre, so Alric pressed forward, releasing most of the gathered plasma from his hand in a jet to propel himself forward in a burst of motion, skidding to a stop by Shaw's side and reaching to haul him out of his indentation in the wall. With the remaining plasma, he formed a jet to cut through the nearest mass of cabling (steel cable would be better, but relatively heavy-duty copper electrical cable will suffice) to liberate some length of material, moving to bind Shaw's arms behind him. He may be quite strong on his own, but if he needed to wait to absorb the X-Men's attacks, Alric's assuming his strength isn't so superlative he can just shred several windings of cable.
