Fights through Roman's powers, Uses aura on him

I found what I was looking for.

Two people, lying in a heap. One was Roman, bloodied, his mask lost.

He'd been the one calling my name. The whispers had stopped when I'd used my aura, because I'd cowed the person speaking.

I lifted him.

He used his power on me for just a second, inflicting rage. The effect was dampened, half-strength, but I still dropped him, and he writhed on landing.

We stood, huffing at each other, glaring.

I reached for him again. Again, he used rage, and my grip on his collar was fierce.

I used my aura, in response, exerting will. Dominance.

"You fucking think that works on me?" he asked. I could hear the outrage in his tone. "After how I was raised? Who I grew up with!? My dad used powers on me every day."

I stopped.

I grabbed him. "We help them faster if you come with."

*****

"Fuck you!" Roman burst out. Again, he used his power. Again, I pushed back. Some of my teammates pushed back.
