No - that was definitely a human-feeling mind in there - wasn't it? Yes. AND a machine-mind as well - a human inside a supersuit.
A human - and definitely not an evil-seeming one, now that Will was concentrating on him. Frustration, pain, but no anger - Will had felt that complex mix of emotions several times herself, in the heat of battle, when plans had not gone exactly as she had wanted them to.
And now she'd shocked him.
Well, no time to think about the details - people were freaking out, and Will was pretty sure that the thing hadn't MEANT to seem as creepy evil as it had, and even if it did, there was always the chance she could reason with it - both of them.
She started to say "I'm sorry! Are you all right?" when Harper and Starbuck began shooting.
No no no! This was bad! Not necessarily for him because the bullets were bouncing off his armor, but -
Wait, bullets were bouncing off his armor! At non-armored people!
Will threw up her arms, and the bullets that bounced off of the blue person-machine's body were suddenly deflected by a force field of crackling, electric energy.
"Stop shooting him! There's a person in there!" she shouted, her chest glowing again as the Heart of Kandrakar semi-materialized on its chain around her neck.
Using her powers in front of near-strangers . . . oh man, the other girls were going to be so mad at her!
