Magus began summoning the moisture in the air into a cloud around the head of his staff when Dragon suddenly clapped him on the shoulder.  He jumped slightly at the sudden contact, but quickly regained his composure as Dragon pointed out that Magus hadn't been present during the Swarm Rat attack the other day.  "You know I'm not much use with those sorts of things most of the time," he answered, keeping his gaze towards the Snapper as he spoke.  "And about 10 seconds before the attack, there was a robbery at the bank, but with the rats attacking, everyone seemed to forget about the robbery.  I knew the other Epics and Emergency Responders could handle the thing with the rats, so I went after the thieves.  The ringleader and one of his henchmen got away with about half the loot, but the rest was returned to the bank, and one of the robbers was taken into custody.  The driver died in a crash with a wall of earth.  It couldn't be helped.  I'll admit, it was one of my hardest fights yet.  The guy spearheading the job definitely made things very difficult for me, which is why I had to resort to lethal measures."  While he spoke, he subtly gestured toward Finch to indicate to Dragon that that man was the one who had led the heist that Magus had only partially averted.  At the same time, he sent the cloud over the snapper, hoping the light mist washing over its body would help to calm it.
