.......and it would have worked, in theory, but West hadn't the knack with the stupid glove and the meteor just bounced right on out again, while giving enough of a bump to having him floating off toward the wall. Most of the momentum had dissipated by the time he got there, so his back hit the wall rather gently, enough that he had time to move his legs and PUSH off again.

STUPIDMUGGLEGLOVECONTRAPTION!

It was the stupidest thing he'd ever had to use. Getting a little frustrated now, West resumed floating here and there, trying to think it out. He hadn't caught ANY even if he'd had an ALMOST catch. That one at least had potential. He felt something hit the headgear he wore and reached up in annoyance.... only to bring his hand back with a glowing yellow 'meteor'.

What?

Blink.

..... okay. Pretend that took skill. But now what was he supposed to do with it while he went for a blue one? Shove it down his shirt?
