Alex didn't like that the U-man had a gun, especially in a dorm full of students. Disarming this guy was a priority. Counting on Yu to keep the guy's attention focused on him, Alex closed the distance, intended to deliver a hard strike to the back of the guy's helmet. If he could disorient the U-man, maybe he'd be able to get the weapon away from the intruder without the U-man using his telekinesis.
