[ A last resort. That's always how his rage-filled moments have worked, as it's not the easiest thing to trigger. Granted, Winston has plenty of reasons to be angry, given what Talon has done to him during his time here.
(The moment one of his saviors gets hurt, well, all bets are off.)
He doesn't feel any better about Ana taking point than Jack does, and as soon as the gunshots start Winston goes tense. The blood has started to flow again, the longer he's been awake, and slowly but surely all the sedatives they'd pumped into his system are wearing off.
When Jack releases him, Winston leans up against the wall. It's frustrating not being able to even walk in a straight line, but when Jack tries to shove a pistol at him, Winston growls and shakes his head, shoving it back with no small amount of strength. ]
I don't need that. [ He's never been one to fire a gun, and not simply because his fingers are too meaty to curl around a trigger. He's always fought as a necessity, rather than because it's something that comes naturally to him. At the end of the day, he's a scientist before he's anything else. ]
If they try to flank us, I'll deal with them. [ Winston manages to sound confident about that even though he still doesn't seem capable of standing on his own. It'll be fine; he'll make it work. He doesn't really have any other choice. ]
