I remembered that I had this very tiring flight we were on our 5th leg and I had a captain whom I just flown with for the first time.

We were really tired and exhausted and during our holding overhead KLO, we ran into a CB and the autopilot disengaged. It was apparent that we were tired because we didnt reacted asap. But after 2-3seconds, I noticed that my captain wasnt still taking over.

Knowing that I was more aware at that moment, Should I say "I have controls!" as per standard?

Well, what I said was "You have controls!!" Then he immediately went back to the situational awareness and commanded for the connection of the AP.

While this is nonstandard, this is to prevent conflict or test his ego or whatever.

This might be debateable, but at that point up there, I know i did the right thing.
