[ Hiro really hates EMPs. Goddammit. The microbots immediately collapse into harmless piles around Callaghan as the blast disables Hiro's transmitter. Their radios are out too, and all of their suits - the one downside of switching to fully powered exoskeletons is that it's a pain making all the systems work without power. But at least he designed them flexible enough that they're not trapped in their own armor.
As for himself ... well. Like he was going to take an EMP blast and not build in safeguards for next time. He flicks a switch on the underside of one palm - and his armor hums back to life again courtesy of the backup generator he'd specifically shielded to hold up against an EMP blast. He drops to one knee, like a runner at the starting block, then he screams forward at frankly an alarming speed. Not as fast as GoGo, maybe, but still being powered by the rockets that he usually saves for limited bursts of flight. He's on Callaghan in the next split second, tackling him to the ground physically. ]
