FIRE

OH GOOD BECAUSE HE WAS SO SCARED (only not really)

[Huh. That actually made sense. Alex wondered why he hadn't even thought of that option.]

Oh. Yeah, that'd be great too. You can blast debris and I can grab people out of the way?
idateforsupper: (/blinds the world with hottness)

hold her hand alex

[personal profile] idateforsupper 2009-10-23 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
Yep! We can be a team.

[She powers up just a little, glowing so she could work everything better.]

Now come on. Let's save some people!

but ali what if warren sees us

[identity profile] cry-andletloose.livejournal.com 2009-10-23 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
We are a team, and I shouldn't have had it any other way.

[Alex feels just a small sting of envy which he quickly quashes as he watches Dazzler power up, glowing with her own energy. He should be able to do that, but he can't. But then-]

INCOMING!

[Another building explodes nearby and more debris rains down on them. He grabs Ali and runs.]
idateforsupper: (AH ZOMG HELP ME)

he can hold my other hand shh

[Alison runs with him, shooting her photons at anything that comes closer. She blasts pieces and makes them smaller, forcing the impact to be less severe.]

This way!

[She has a light shield up on her side, holding up against anything that could rain upon them.]

[identity profile] cry-andletloose.livejournal.com 2009-10-23 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[That light shield was useful, very useful. Alex wondered if he could conceivably do the same with his powers, maybe fine control of them to that specific extent- but then he firmly stopped that thought. No use pondering that now. Stay in the moment. Focus. He was that much more vulnerable without his powers. They run, stopping at intervals to save civilians.]

I thought you didn't want to be a superhero?
idateforsupper: (EXCUUUUUUUUUSE ME?)

[personal profile] idateforsupper 2009-10-23 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[Alison actually glares at him for a moment. How rude. Here she is, saving his butt and helping him out the best she can and he asks that!]

As long as I get to sing, honey, I can do the hero thing too.

[identity profile] cry-andletloose.livejournal.com 2009-10-23 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, hey, I'm on your side! Everytime I want a break I get hauled right in anyway too.
idateforsupper: (Dazzlin' disco)

[personal profile] idateforsupper 2009-10-23 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah...

[Her break was mostly because Longshot died. Alison couldn't deal with any of that hero stuff for a long time. The only thing she had wanted to do was sing because it was safe.]

It just happens when you're tangled with the X-men.

[identity profile] cry-andletloose.livejournal.com 2009-10-23 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it does. I guess that's life.

[Alex would have been very happy just working on a phD in geophysics, and doing research on Muir Island. Or just doing nothing in Hawaii.]

But, people to save, villains to vanquish, and all that.
idateforsupper: (Is it a wig?)

[personal profile] idateforsupper 2009-10-23 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[And she would have liked for a lot of things to have not occured in her life. Having to participate in gruesome wars on Mojoworld, for one, was something she could have done without.]

Yep! Just something we have to do.

[She holds up her finger sort of like a gun.]

Now let's go do just that, honey.
