[By now he is accustomed to the occasional passing vehicle, though he still puts himself on alert, knowing that anyone coming to a stop out here either needs assistance, or is looking to take advantage. This is a small one--something like a motorized velocipede, and as it approaches it doesn't seem to be slowing, which is good. It means that it will likely pass them by.
Still, he doesn't want to be distracted while that happens (just in case), and he urges Jayce out from under their on truck so that he can set it down. The bicycle is closer, now, and it still isn't slowing. In fact, it seems to be doing the opposite, while altering its trajectory in exactly their direction.
He understands what's about to happen. Though he's confident enough in his own impervious nature, even to something like a vehicular crash, he can't say the same for whoever is riding the bike. They must not realize--or they must have some kind of death wish.
Viktor does the first thing he can think of. He steps in front of Jayce, ostensibly to protect him, but the Hexclaw is what goes to work, arcing over his head and cycling through a blindingly-quick series of runes. The motorcycle closes the distance but no actual impact comes. Instead, she'll be jerked forward into a sudden halt as Viktor alters the motorcycle's personal gravity.
He suspends it, and its rider, several inches above the ground, its wheels spinning uselessly with no traction against the dirt.]
