Alex had been leaving Stephen's lab after doing some work on an OS for him when some shouting caught his attention.
He ignored it, and continued making his way back to his room, but walked in on a fight, with a little girl standing dangerously close. He furrowed his brows. He hated fighting, and he was afraid to get involved, but he wouldn't be able to live with himself if he found out that little girl got hurt, and he had just ignored the situation.
Maybe disarming that bomb gave him a bit more confidence than he used to have, or maybe Luna's constant encouragement was finally getting through to him, but he walked over, keeping himself as calm as he could, ignoring the anxiety rising in his chest.
He instead used that anxiety to create his invisible shadow tendrils. Since they were working in near-unison he was able to manage to concentrate enough to create four at once. As soon as he was in range- about 16 feet or so from the actual fight, they shot out and wrapped around Ba'al's arms so that two of the tendrils were restraining each arm.
He pulled Ba'al back from Ronon as he bit his lower lip. He didn't know if he could manage any more to keep Ronon from attacking Ba'al.
"Stop it!" He seemed surprised by his own voice and took a moment before continuing far more meekly, "Y-you might h-hurt someone..." He nodded towards the little girl, and offered her a weak smile of attempted re-assurance.
