Grounding the Static (Fighterbot ep8)

That electric trap thought it could keep me at bay. I returned to the front of the TV console carrying a thick rubber band I scavenged from the floor. Wrapping the rubber tight across my forearms as insulation, I charged straight back in. The glowing blue needle still hummed with faint sparks, but this time I didn't reach out bare-jointed. I grabbed an overturned metal bottle cap and slammed it directly down over the shard like a containment dome. A muted fizz crackled beneath the tin, grounding the charge into silence. My perimeter is fortified, and his static tricks are completely neutralized.
