The tactic was effective, leaving Tony recoiling in the wake, arms tucked up defensively against the swirl and making him slow to react. "Cheater!" he shouted after Cayde, as much of a charge as it was a warning. The clock tower and the strange void of recollection behind him felt like it dragged Tony back as he darted after Cayde, splitting his focus as he tried to search his memory for any more blank spaces and feeling increasingly aware that he wouldn't know how to find one. This made it difficult to develop an effective distraction to slow Cayde down and overtake him in the clear shot between them and the bar, so Tony reached for the first tool on hand and rapidly flooded Cayde's communicator with every alert it could make. He wasn't about to start throwing around Omega's toys.
