Reflexive doesn't care if the character is aware or unaware of the attack.

Are we talking about the same Reflexive?

This doesn't assume you have built-in Danger Sense to activate your defenses. This just means that if you have one, you can activate your ability in zero time outside of your turn as a free action.

This is only possible if the GM feels that activating the ability would cause the attack to pass harmlessly around or through the defender. Treat this as a dodge, but roll against the following score instead of Dodge:
Power Dodge = Basic Speed + 3 + Talent/2
