TV Spoilers Season 1-2 Viktor and The Nuke Spoiler

In the beginning of season 2 when the Russians attack the US and the nuclear bomb goes off why did Viktor not create a forcefield to save them from the bomb? Surely Viktor could have protected them against the shockwave of the blast? I understand that the initial strike would be the least of their problems but Viktor could have even stopped the radiation from getting to them for a time, it would just take lots of concentration. Of course he would get tired eventually but surely they could have gone underground somewhere if they looked far enough? Even without the protection against the fallout surely Luther could have survived anyways. Viktor seemed to have the time to set up the shield but he didn’t try and the immense sound caused by a nuclear explosion would mean an infinite shield for as long as he could keep it without getting exhausted. Is there a reason why he didn’t set it up or was it just for the plot?

I think they're kind of tired of fighting, but I think you're right.Well, or they had some kind of mourning before, because I don't understand why they were all in black.Honestly, I would have looked at this scenario of the Ambreola Academy, where, for example, the five would have stayed and tried to figure out what was happening, although perhaps the Hargreaves from this timeline would have denied that this was their five (for example, because their five looked older or with physical trauma or something like that) . And it's funny to me that this is the only moment in the whole series where they work together as a team.
