[Steve would rather intimidate the animal than really hurt it. While he doesn't want it to rampage through Quarantine and hurt innocent people, he thinks that the chance of driving the mountain lion away is a risk they can take. It's only scared, after all. It isn't hunting them. He glances toward Adam, nodding, then jumping to the right at his word. The mountain lion roars, instinctively making a lunge at them, but the way they move in opposite directions confuses it and causes the cat to miss its targets. Steve turns around, raising his arm and activating the energy shield projected from his wrist cuff. The flash of light and color gets the attention of the big cat, and Steve holds up the shield in front of him, advancing so he can give Adam an opening to drive the predator back to the woods.]
