[ Marco's reaction time is probably slightly above average from a normal teenage boy thanks to videogames and years of constant paranoia, but it's certainly not enough to match super speed. His only saving grace is that an osprey's reflexes are vastly superior to a human's and that he's well-trained enough to immediately know when to let the animal instincts take over, the bird body already exploding into motion as Morph shifts before his human mind can even register what's happening.
Even then, he's still too slow to avoid Morph's attack entirely, only managing to dodge enough to get his feet caught rather than his neck. He frantically tries to gouge and rake his talons into Morph's hands to get him to loosen his grip, knowing full well already that in a one to one fight this close up, he's hopelessly outclassed. He can't morph nearly as quickly as the other and he has to return to his original body first; escape is really the only option here, or barring that, at the very least a little time and distance. ]
