"Ow," Gabriel muttered in response to the Doctor's grip, but he stepped around the old man and nudged him back toward the group. At least that way they knew their backs were covered by the others already in combat and protected by stone on one side. Rather, Gabriel scanned their rear, and sure enough, he caught shadows among and atop the rocks.
"Please," Gabriel said with a snort. "It's just a matter of physics." He'd never really fired guns before, not often, but physics, astrophysics, time, space--they'd been his bitches for the better part of two thousand years. Even without his angelic senses, it wasn't all that difficult to know where to aim. Basic physics was elementary compared to the rest.
With earsplitting yowls the cats leapt down from the boulders. The first three he downed by clean shots to their heads and chests, sending them tumbling end over end. There was only one problem. With the gun on his back, just one piece in a greater whole of weight, he hadn't noticed how heavy it was on its own. Holding it aloft toward the far-too-many cats leaping down from above, using a body which was emphatically not in shape? Gabriel noticed it, all right.
His arms shook, his wrist twinged, and his next shot skimmed the fur on one of the cat's backs. He had enough time to curse before it landed and leapt for him in one smooth motion.
i'd like a minor injury and/or opportunity for some telekinesis, if you're amenable?
