[ It's not a weapon Steve's used to, for obvious reasons. A cane that's able to let out an electric shock? He'd never even heard of such a thing, had no idea what the need for it would be in any normal situation. But he's not going to question it now, not when his life is in danger. For all he knows, Darcy might be capable of killing him right now, and he can't let that happen.
She would never forgive herself. This alone is probably going to be bad enough.
Watching as parts of her facial structure and body language twitch and rearrange themselves in response to the shock is disturbing, to say the least. It's something Steve would have scrubbed out of his memory if he could. As things are, all he's focused on is getting away, so he turns on his heel and starts to retreat -- but it's hard to be fast in the sand, even for him. Not to mention the burning pain that's running through his ribs and making it difficult to breathe. ]
