That sounds frightening. He'd never heard of such an object before until the fight itself had gone down, and at that point just knowing that it was something being used to control someone had been enough to try to stop her. He can't help for another tremor as he remembers the young woman's expression, tearful in one instant, cold and blank in the next before everything went white with fire and pain.
Donnie swallows down more water, at the very least not feeling as dried out as he had earlier. He only belatedly realizes there's someone else there, mechanically moving to accept Atom's assistance. His muscles want to protest to that, but he'd heard 'bed', at least, and that sounds marginally better than sitting on a bench, so he pushes through it.
