He sees the attacks before they hit, giving him a split second to think about which he is better throwing off and which to grab. He drops to his knees at the last possibly moment to avoid the launched disc. He can hear it whirl by overhead, feel the breeze from it. But he doesn't feel pain, so he pays it no more attention. His target is the one in Rinzler's hand.

It would be impossible, even at his speed, to dodge an attack at such a close range. So instead he reaches for the blade, clamping his hand over the edge as Rinzler brings it down across Peter's body. There's a moment in which he half expects this to fail too. For the gloves to fall apart, to let the energy from the weapon through. Peter half expects this move to loose him a hand. But again, he doesn't feel pain.

It gives him the incentive he needs to not push the blade back but redirect away from his body, putting speed behind the move more than strength. He knows that in a contest of strength he'd be the loser, so letting this become a struggle over the discs isn't something Peter can let happen. Holding tight to the weapon, he jerks his arm this way and that quickly, while at the same time vibrating his limbs as violently as he dares. Peter means to throw off Rinzler's hold and take the weapon for himself.
