As per Powers (p. 109), each level of Reliable counts as a level of Talent, meaning that the above build effectively has fourteen levels of Talent, reducing the time to stretch from SM+0 to SM+15 from fifteen ready actions to one action (as per Powers, p. 78). Reflexive includes Reduced Time 1, making Shrinking a Free Action (Powers, p. 154) and allowing for power defenses (such as compressing oneself to 1/5" (SM-15) to avoid an attack). The power as built should allow for instantaneous and defensive stretching out to SM+15, meaning that you could take a Free Action at the beginning of your turn to extend and then use a defense when attacked to retract (or retract as a Free Action at the beginning of your next turn).
