[ It's very difficult to bask in the glow of knowing that there's a friend here when his van is barreling down the road at a very worrying, breakneck speed. Nor would anyone recommend focusing on the fact (at least right in this particular moment) that focusing on all the warm fuzzies that accompany someone who knows him and cares for him - even if it may be in John's bristly sort of way - because their top concern should be that there is no feasible way to stop this thing unless something else stops it first.
Just before John had arrived Bucky-style on his bike it had occurred to Bob that he could probably try to stop his camper van himself. The thought of breaking something beyond repair that was his had immediately deterred him from using any Sentry related powers on purpose however. The handle of his window that still remains very unattached to the door is a prime example of that. But that's an accident! And probably easier to fix than a whole van that he had plans for. And honestly, even with this being his one worldly possession, it doesn't seem like a situation anyone would think is worth the risk of summoning forth creepy shadow-realm powers that could potentially destroy Diadem for.
As John speeds off Bob yells out - ]
I wasn't to begin with!
[ Watching him speed off leaves him feeling more than a little helpless and apologetic that his reunion with John had somehow resulted in this. There's nothing more that he can do though but watch as his friend speeds off in front of and vaults off the bike to -
Stop it himself? With his hands? ]
Walker? I'm not sure that's a good idea!
[ Whether or not John can hear this doesn't seem to matter to Bob. The van goes speeding past him with Bob's scream fading in and out. But if John does, in fact manage to execute his plan, it might not work as brilliantly as he might have hoped. Because when it rains? It pours. What better timing for a bumper to come loose than when someone is trying to stop their friend from hurtling to their doom due to faulty breaks? And why not have a tire blow out while they're at it? Surely John can handle it. Because Bob is sadly very much out of ideas as he braces himself for impact. ]
YOU DID THE OPPOSITE OF GET OUT OF THE WAY???
