## In the Borderlands AU, when Dirk gets too close to Jake, do his legs stop working? Like does Jake control the EMP effect or is it like a constant perimeter around him that disables Dirk's body enhancements?

callmearcturus:

> Jake is not very good at controlling his powers. It’s part of why he travels alone; most people don’t want to deal with him randomly knocking out electronics and killing ECHOnet and such. If he’s perfectly calm then he can prevent doing that. Buuuut if he’s tense or defensive, then yeah, the EMP effect goes off.

> So when they are calm together, Dirk has leg usage. When Jake is upset or wants to unleash his EMP powers, roboboy is going down.
