Richard doesn't hesitate when he pulls Alex flush against him, all while answering Warren. "You, all this isn't real. It has nothing to do with psychic powers, it's understanding the restrictions of the situation." A fact that he demonstrated by shoving Warren back against a tree without even touching him.

He wasn't sure that Alex could push through the fear of the situation, that she had the same deep-rooted hatred of this man and the mind games that he played. A hatred of all of this that clarified the fear he had for her safety. But she could try.
