Ryan pushes back against them as he tries to find his feet, shoving at any arms he can reach, frantically trying to get them away from him.
And then the cat-shadow sinks its teeth into his leg, making him scream in pain as his own shadow drags him back down to hold him there. Ryan doesn't stop struggling, hoping to squirm free even as the effort just drags skin over claws.]

[In his panic he reaches for his power reflexively, but it can't touch those shadows. The only things for it to reach are Henry and Ryan himself, and it already has hold of one. His agitation is enough that it can't simply hold still; it drops Henry to his knees, yanks him back up, throws him sprawling on the ground again.]
