Now that Vexus was a little more off the grid, she had a surprising amount of time to focus on her experiments and various other scientific advancements. She had been to New York and Washington DC in order to retrieve some lost items, a sort of very extreme shopping list. Elena plans to construct an assistant of sorts, as she is getting older she could use help around the lab. Who better than a mindless cyborg? She still had trust issues with other humans. There was always the possibility of them knowing too much and using it against her, and then she would have to kill them and it always turned out negatively. Machines have done well for her in the past and so she would continue that trend. Science was always there for her.

It had been quite sometime, but Vexus was returning to her homeland of Germany. Many of her financial assets were not located in the United States Banking System as it would have been seized upon her attempt at capturing the president. Regardless of how much power she had, it was infinitely beneficial to keep her money off American shores. While she was in Europe, she made a few stops. It was tricky enough to get herself on a plane without anyone doing too deep of a background check on her. This would probably be the last time she took traditional transportation, there were far too many precautions that she needed to take in order to go through all the security undetected. She took some typical tourists stops. London, Rome, Paris, the usual. It was nice to visit these locations as a tourist instead of a terrorist.
After her short tour of Europe, she made it back to her homeland of Germany and immediately went to a safe house that she had prepared. There were doe important papers, bank cards, and other financial information all neatly organized of course. Once she had everything gathered together she headed towards Landesbank Berlin, one of the largest banks in the country. This location was one of the many financial institutions around Europe where she has investments. All of the profits from The Genesis Vivification Movement have been scrambled around Europe to make sure that the money stays in Vexus' control and remains undetected.

The Landesbank Berlin was a very large building consisting not only of your traditional bank, but also multiple safes, vaults, private drop boxes, and a multitude of consulting offices. The inside of the facility was a typical set up, just much, much larger. There were the tellers at the booths, separate offices for opening up new accounts, small lounge area. Everything very much spread out giving it a very modern and relaxed look. It was a busy day for whatever reason, so Vexus had to wait in line like any other person. She kept herself anonymous as some members of the bank enjoyed special privileges and services when they arrived. Keeping herself from drawing any sort of attention was the best way to go right now. So far this was just an average day. Right now Elena was just an average person in an average situation. It was relieving in a sense for her. Not having to worry about someone recognizing her and wanting her dead or causing wide spread panic. It was a relief to be ably to breath easy for once.

Alex pulled the collar of his leather jacket tighter around him as another blast of cold winter air hit his unprotected face. Having been born in New York, one would have thought he would be use to cold winters, but he had always hated them. Even as a child, he never wanted to go out and build snowmen, or make snow angels, he always preferred to stay indoors where it was warm. Perhaps it was due to his affinity with lightning, his skin naturally craved warmer temperatures due to their exposure to the heated plasma that was his power. Regardless, this was where his job was, so this was where he had to be. It was just his luck, however, that he would be sent first to Canada, and now to Berlin, Germany. Reaching back, he pulled the hood of the sweatshirt he wore under his jacket though the collar, and over his head. This both protected him from the cold winds, and from gazing eyes. Although he had never been in Germany before, he had committed one or two crimes throughout Europe, and it was safe to assume at least a description of him may be floating around somewhere.

"First Canada, now fucking Germany. I swear, if the next place he sends me isn't a warm, tropical paradise, I can't be held responsible for my actions."

Alex muttered to himself as he stood in front of his target location, the Landesbank Berlin. The bank was large, that was for sure, with tall tan walls that seemed to stretch forever. Although it would be assumed his mission was to rob this bank, that was not the case. As much as it annoyed Alex, he was to be a distraction for a much larger crime that would be happening somewhere else. What the crime was, he had no idea. The client had been very secretive about it, not that it mattered much. His check cleared, and that was all that mattered to Alex, and to his employer. Reaching into his coat pocket, Alex pulled out a cellphone. It was old, and looked like it had taken some damage in it's day. Quite clearly a burner. Dialing in the number he had been told to memorize, and never write down, he heard two rings, then hung up.

Alex sighed as he dialed the number again, why his clients were so worried about what information Alex would give out if captured was beyond him. The likely hood of him being capture was zero to none, at least, in his mind. After three rings, a deep, husky voice answered the phone.

"Ja, was wollen Sie?" (Yes, what do you want?)

The man asked in fluent German. Although Alex spoke many languages with a near perfect accent, German being one of them, he still despised having to speak in them when he knew his clients spoke perfect English

"Ich bin vor der Bank, was als nächstes?" (I'm in front of the bank, what's next?)

Alex replied, keeping up his accent. The crowd around him was large enough that he had little to worry about, as far as being overheard went. But, he still liked to keep up appearances. After all, he was a professional.

"Gehen Sie in und eine Ablenkung mit dieser Befugnisse von Ihnen, meine Herren, alles andere erledigt nehmen." (Go in and make a distraction with those powers of yours, my men will take care of everything else.)

After that, a dial tone was all Alex heard. Discharging an unnoticeable amount of electrical energy in his hand, Alex friend the phone. He had nothing to worry about as he dropped the phone to the hard cement and headed inside of the bank, even when they found the phone, there was nothing left on it to be discovered. The surge of electricity he sent through it more than wiped it. As he stepped into the bank, he wasted no time, sending out a large shockwave of electrical energy through the main floor. The electrical force being sent out of his body was enough to knock even the strongest human to the ground, and stop the heart of the weaker ones, which could be noticed by the older men and women who fell dead onto the bank floor.

"Hallo Gönner, ich bin hier, um Ihnen heute rauben. So sitzen die Hölle unten oder ich verspreche Ihnen, ich werde das Fleisch von den Knochen verbrennen. Verstanden?" (Hello patrons, I am here to rob you today. So sit the hell down or I promise you I will incinerate the flesh from your bones. Understood?)

Alex said with a cheerful smile on his face, which was contrasted by the heavy shadow his hood cast upon it, giving him an eerie creepy look.

It was just about Vexus' turn at the booth so she began to fill out the needed paperwork to make her withdraw. She stepped up to the teller and gave her a smile and slid her the paper. The teller punched in the information and once the account information came up her eyes widened a little. She looked to Vexus with a very surprised look on her face, which soon turned to an awkward smile as she went back to work with the withdraw. There were a handful of security questions that she needed to go through in order to verify her identity. The line was moving steadily behind her so it didn't seem like she was holding anyone up, this girl knew what she was doing. Definitely not her first encounter with a high profile client.
Just as the kind girl was about to proceed with the final steps a man came through the doors and as he walked he released a powerful wave of electricity through the floor. It knocked out the electronics in the building and even killing quite a handful of people in the room. Vexus had been able to protect herself without showing any sign that she had powers of any sort. The backup generators kick in bringing the lights back on only to see that most everyone was was either dead or unconscious. The boy began yelling all kinds of things in German. He was threatening to torch the whole building with everyone inside. Seemed like a classic sort of robbery, just this time with a metahuman twist. Vexus turned around to look at the boy, he did not appear armed though he clearly possessed some form of electrical manipulation. It would probably be apparent at this point that Elena was no ordinary old lady as met others her age had not passed.
"Well, well... What do we have here?" Vexus said kindly as she slowly walked closer to the boy, casually placing her check book and pen back into her small purse.
"I'm sure they teach English in school now a days, so listen. I have worked long and hard for my money, and in all honestly you picked the worst day to try and rob this bank."
As she walked closer to him, the boy began to hover above the ground with a strong pressure around his neck. Elena kept moving closer, stepping over the bodies not really giving much effort to suspending this kid in the air, choking him.
"Now then, shall we continue our conversation outside?"
With the slightest though Vexus sent the boy crashing through a set of doors, destroying the frames and sending glass flying everywhere. He should hit the ground, skid, and roll for a few yards before coming to a halt. However if he was acrobatically talented enough he might be able to save himself the extra scratches.

She made her way outside soon after, the shards of glass crunching under her heels. Come to think of it. Elena's major withdraw was going to be so she could charter all the energy that she needed in order to complete the construction of her cyborg assistant. Though now with encountering this individual she might not need to waste her money. She was confident that she could hog tie this boy and drag him back to her laboratory to be her personal generator.
"If you can force your way past me, I'll give you every last penny in my bank account. It's all in there anyways. Maybe a little extra commission to whoever hired you to attack this establishment..."
Elena stood confidently with a hand on her hip and her purse slung over her shoulder.  This boy probably had no idea what he was in for, or what awaited him back at her lab.

'Well, that was unexpected.'

Alex said as he found his back slamming through a glass and metal door on his involuntary journey out of the bank. Glass cut at the fabric of his leather jacket, cutting through the thinner parts of it at the elbows, but breaking harmlessly against his skin. Times like this was when he was glad he was amazingly durable. A crunch could be heard as his back hit the hard concrete, crushing the glass that had fallen faster than him underneath his weight.

"Scheibe"

Alex said aloud, unknowingly still speaking German. The force of the push was strong, even stronger than he had originally thought, and it sent him bouncing on an arc, his back staying on the ground for little more than a second before he was hopping across the pavement. Thinking quickly, he threw a burst of lightning beneath him as he flew in the air once again, propelling him high enough that he was able to flip in the air, landing in a crouched position about twelve feet in front of the bank.

"Ya'know, you're really pissing me off lady. And I know it sounds cliche, but, you won't like me when I'm angry."

He said in response to Vexus' challenge, still mainting his German accent. He knew nothing about this woman, and she knew nothing about him. Letting onto the fact that he was actually American would do him no good in this case, so he played along with her original assumption. As he stood, he removed his leather jacket, letting the expensive article of clothing fall to the floor. Underneath he had worn a plain gray hoodie, of which he pulled down the hood, revealing his messy locks of brown hair, and cerulean blue eyes, which seemed to be illuminated by the lightning he was now allowing to freely crackle around his body.

Drawing his eyes into a scowl, the elemental fury began to grow, cracking the ground beneath him, rocks seemingly levitating in the air around him. This woman had to die now, she had stood in his way, which was something no one did, old lady or not.

"I'm feelin' generous miss, so I'll tell ya' what. You leave no, we have no problems. You stay, and I be forced to kill ya, capiche?"

Though, in actuality, Alex had every intention of shooting her in the back with his full power once she turned to walk away.

The boy had an accent, not that his heritage had anything to do with him living or dying it was just an interesting note she made. She rolled her eyes hearing the boy talk so highly of himself. He was confident in his abilities, which was important when facing a foe like Vexus. His own power was running about his body, more than likely an intimidation tactic. One of which did not word against Elena, she was already running multiple ways to harness his power through her head.
His vocabulary was interesting, and his slang was very American in nature. Could have possibly just been an act. But again, his identity didn't matter. The less she knew about him the better. To her, he was just a battery. A foolish battery at that. Even though he had just been thrown through a glass wall with nearly no effort, he tried to bargain with her. Saying that if she left he wouldn't kill her. By the end of this conflict Vexus' eyes would be tired from rolling constantly.
"Listen, sweetheart, you couldn't kill me even  if you tried."

Before he had time to utter a proper response, Vexus bent her elbow slightly and pointed upwards with her index finger. The very ground underneath the boy's feet tore loose and quickly gained altitude. If he didn't hop off quick enough, the slab of earth would reach up about 400 feet before Elena allowed gravity to take over and pull it straight back down to Earth. If he did manage to escape the flight to the sky, the multi-ton piece of earth would com rocketing back down to crush the little man. Vexus' confidence might end up getting the best of her i this situation because she felt like she would not need to put too much effort into subduing such a radical young man. She was in a league of her own against this kid and Elena planned to make that very clear.

"Listen, sweetheart, you couldn't kill me even if you tried."

For some reason, these words upset Alex more than he could explain. His power surged even harder, the lightning becoming thicker, louder, and much, much brighter. His eyes seemed to glow with a blue light of their own as his power rose, and the ground beneath him cracked even more. He hardly felt the rumble of the earth in his rage, and only truly took notice as the wind caused by the sudden rise in elevation blew his hair and clothes all over the place. He didn't jump though, no, he decided to take the much more violent route.

Placing his hands on the recently warmed, cracked, and torn fragment of concrete, he sent a large amount of lightning surging out of the palms of his hands, causing the mound of earth to shatter into many pieces, and sending Alex in a free fall towards the ground. He wasn't more than twenty feet up, and landed rather harmlessly, yet, he let our a vicious, animalistic roar as he sat in a crouched position, his hands resting on the crater that Vexus had made. The lightning around him had begun to take a form of sorts, a long bolt extended from his back, swaying to and fro, resembling a lion's tail. From his head, two lighting manifestations formed in the shape of horns, or, as could be seen by some, cat like ears.

"In Japan, I'm known as the Lightning Devil, or Raikou. I'm here to show you your death."

He said as he slowly rose from the position he had been in. Another surge of lightning occurred as he reached his full height, raising a hand in the air.

"Let's see how fast you are. A bolt of lightning moves at near the speed of light, and can reach temperatures over 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit. That's five times hotter than the surface of the sun. Now, DIE!"

Alex yelled the last part, bringing his hand down in a harsh arc in the direction of Vexus. Behind his hand, the form of a dragon began to appear, baring it's teeth at the old woman, before flying off towards her, the crackling of thunder acting as it's roar.

Vexus took note at the boy's growing power. It was interesting how his rage fueled his energy, making it much more violent. She was learning more about his powers with every passing second, and every bit of information would help her in draining ever last watt from his body. He was easily able to take care of the slab of rock that she had used on him, no surprise there. Though as he crouched and a sort of electrical cloak encase his body, she reached for one of the rings and a braceletin her purse, Anneau de Vexus and Protéger Les Bijoux to be specific. She calmly slipped both onto her right hand and the boy now introduced himself as "Raikou, the Lightning Devil". American slang, German accent, Japanese name. This child was all over the place.
She knew what was coming. She had done it before herself. Granted her version of it took much more planning and effort than this, but it was always important to learn from the past. The lightning was getting increasingly violent as the boy raised his hand into the air. Raikou listed off a couple of common knowledge facts about lightning. Vexus immediately activated her mechanical eye and also raised her hand in the air and gave a little smirk. The moment she saw the dragon made of lightning, she aimed her hand straight for it. At the same instant, the lightning struck and Vexus released her own bolts of electricity. To the boy, it would appear as if Elena could also manipulate electricity, and to a greater extent than his own. The power of Vexus' ring managed to force the attack back to a point before the energy was re-dispersed into the atmosphere.
"You know, you should not play your best card right from the start. You never know what your opponent might have in their hand."

With her mechanical eye still active, multiple images of Elena began to appear around Raikou. To the naked eye, they appeared to be solid when in actuality they were only elaborate holograms generated by Elena. There were six in total including the real Vexus forming a circle around this Lightning Devil. Simultaneously they all fired a powerful laser at him. Only one of the six would actually cause damage to him, but it would be interesting to see how he would react to the addition of opponents. All six of the beams would fire at random right towards her opponent's person, however it would spell death for this young one if managed to dodge the wrong one. The real laser could only be fired once, however it would continue to fire fake ones until he discovers that they aren't real. Hopefully the child had more up his sleeve because Elena was only just getting started.

"Light...ning?"

Alex muttered, seemingly awestruck at the fact that the woman not only could use his power, but at a high enough level to simply toss aside his Kirin, with what looked like no effort. His lightning seemed to falter for a second as his fighting spirit fell, he took a step back and his eyes were wide with shock. As he fought inside of himself for control of his emotions, he was shocked by yet another ability of this tricky old woman's.

Taking a deep breath, the lightning powered sociopath closed his eyes. First telekenisis, then electrical manipulation, and now cloning. No, there was no way one person had all these powers, one of these had to be a trick. Manipulating the lightning that was crackling around him, he sent 'tendrils' of electrical energy around him in a wide circle. The point of this was to act as feelers of sorts, the idea being when a beam passed through it, he would feel the disturbance in his power and act accordingly.

'There!'

He thought to himself silently as he felt the real beam passing through one of his tendrils. Opening his eyes, he rushed toward the beam, gathering lightning in his hands and under his feet. As he came close to the beam, he pivoted to the side, running now along side the beam towards Vexus. As he comes close to her, he stabs out with the lightning that he had been gathering in his hands, spreading it along his lower arm and over his hand, turning his arm into a blade of lightning. Assuming the girl had something else up her sleeve, if his blade misses, he will lash out with the 'tail' of lightning that had been forming around his body, using it as a sword aimed at Vexus' neck. As he maneuvers around Vexus in melee combat, a small path of sparking lightning follows behind his footsteps.

While the boy was working on countering Vexus' many abilities, she inconspicuously slipped on another ring of hers behind her back. Anneau d'Invisibilité. Elena disappeared, however to make it appear as if nothing happened she created another hologram in her place. She moved about freely, hovering just slightly above the ground so that he wouldn't hear her footsteps while invisible.
He devised a very interesting way to detect which of the lasers was real by developing a sort of electrical grid system which seemed to pick up the one real laser. After tracking it via its path of trajectory her came rushing towards what used to be the real Vexus. He stabbed through the hologram with a lightning sword, and Elena had the projection move accordingly by keeling over. Following the stab was another blade which swung by and decapitated her as well. The only thing that would make the boy feel that it was not real would be the ease in which he passed through the body. Though that could have just attributed to his own strength.

Vexus let the hologram lie there for a moment while it bled out hoping to give him a false sense of victory right before the image became distorted and disappeared completely along with the other hologram clones. Elena's invisible self floated above the boy as she spoke now, aiming to make her voice seem as if it was being projected from every direction.
"That was very cunning. Impressive quick thinking, well done. I normally can get most to slip up with that tactic. Seems like now I might have to step it up slightly."
Wherever the boy ended up, she would float silently behind him and land about 50 yards away. While she was still unseen she slipped on yet another ring right before her invisibility wore off. Anneau Du Phénix was the name of this one. Once her camouflage faded away she took two steps forward, her heels making a click to kindly let her opponent know where she was. The second after though she unleashed a blazing wall of fire towards the kid. With her palm extended towards him and the ring facing in the same direction, it again looked as if Elena possessed yet another elemental ability. Her fire was not as powerful as the lightning, however it would probably be enough to fight on par with the child's powers. This whore ordeal was shaping up to be a nice demonstration. This boy would no doubt be useful to her.

As his blade passed, and subsequently his arm, passed through the Vexus hologram, Alex knew something was wrong. This woman had been able to easily survive his first shock wave inside of the bank, as well as deflecting his Kirin. His hand passed through too easily for even a normal human, yet alone a meta like her. Although he was sure she was a fake, he sent it tail through her anyway, after all, you can never be too sure.

"I guess my years of killing people in gruesome ways has finally come in handy, hasn't it?"

Alex said as he watched the mirage of Elena fade away into darkness. He had to admit, the blood and acting were a nice touch. If he hadn't used his lightning blade technique plenty of times before, and knew how much resistance a human body should have to it, he probably would have been fooled by this trick. Although he wasn't the smartest man on the planet by a far margin, he also wasn't stupid.

Click. Click.

The sound of Vexus's heels sounded off behind him, causing him to chuckle to himself. He had never fought someone this fast, this cunning. It was making his heart race, his blood boil, he was excited to say the least. Which is why he was less than excited about what he knew he had to do. In this open space, she had range on her side, she could easily slip away. Although he knew that she had to be using some sort of trick, or item, to use most of her powers, he still had no way of knowing which ones were real and which ones weren't.

"You're a tricky old lady, ya' know that?"

Alex called out as the wave of fire headed towards him. In the back of his mind, he was glad he went to Canada and fought that Pyro at this exact second. He knew he lightning would be able to keep up with the flame, so he imitated her move. Pulling both hands back, he shot them forward, creating a large wave of lightning to clash with the wall of fire, before turning on his heels and rushing towards the bank.

Even though he hated running, he knew he had to get her in an enclosed space. She was old, probably more frail and slower than he was. If he could get her in hand to hand combat, it would raise his odds, or at least, that was the plan.

Elena was getting a kick out of fighting this kid. He was putting up a decent fight, he was outmatched, but he pressed on confident that me might be able to find a loophole. He countered her fire with an equally power blast of electricity, just as she expected him to. Her ring was running out of juice, but just in time the boy darted away headed back towards the bank. Normally, he would have probably made it to his destination. But with the help of Elena's mechanical eye she was able to see him through the wall of fire and lightning via a different visual filter. Her ring floated off of her hand and back into her purse while her Anneau de Vitesse replaced it. He probably wouldn't have seen the switch due to his concentration with sprinting towards the banks destroyed entrance.
With the power of her ring(+4SPD) and hovering just slightly above the ground, she took off at a very impressive speeds reaching nearly 250 miles per hour. The gap between the two was closed very quickly and for a moment Vexus moved casually alongside the boy, locking eyes with him, before flying past him and landing about 150 feet in front of him with her arms crossed sternly.
Ooohh, you almost had me there. If only you were just a little bit faster."
She raised both her palms up, her arms fully extended, and a incredibly large slab of earth began to rise behind her. It spanned the width of the building, reached up to about the third or fourth floor and was about as thick as the length of a small car. With this in place it would probably make reaching the bank a little bit more complicated on his end of things. She returned one of her hands to her side and with the other directed her fingertips towards Raikou. She gave a smirk as small little sparks danced around her fingertips before she unleashed a full-force bolt of lightning towards the boy. Elena was expecting another electromagnetic display, though her mechanical eye was watching the situation very closely in case he decided to switch things up on her.

Alex nearly laughed. On top of the multitude of other powers, the old woman seemed to now have super speed as well. Perfect. He slid to a stop, sending sparks from the bottom of his feet as he came to a stop much faster than should have been possible. Sighing, he watched as the giant mountain of earth rose up, and engulfed the side of the building, basically stopping any chance of him getting inside of that. On top of that, the super fast woman now stood in front of the wall, blocking his path.

"Well, I suppose you have even more tricks I haven't even discovered, don't you?"

Alex never got a response, however, a bolt of lightning was sent heading at him. Fast. Alex laughed again, holding out one hand to the beam. Lightning was his element, he had dominion over it. This woman was really trying to insult him like this? As the electrical energy connected with his palm, he began to absorb it into his body, letting it become one with the power running through him. He was surprised to find how strong it was, how pure and potent the lightning was. It wasn't long before he had to place his other hand onto the bolt, and not long after that the power was pushing him back, sending tiny clouds of dust into the air.

"Son...of...a..."

Alex muttered out loud to himself, feeling an exuberant amount of power coursing through his body. It was too much for him to handle, and sweat began to build on his brow. It took every ounce of effort in his body to absorb the amount he had, but, it overpowered him. He was hit by the remaining energy in the chest, sending him hurtling back, skidding and sliding across the ground. When he finally landed, electricity crackled over his body, causing his muscles to spasm slightly and react slowly to his commands. Inside of his back pocket, his second cell phone began to ring, causing him to laugh. Slowly, with pain staking effort, he reached into his pocket, and answered the call.

"Ja?" (Ya?)

Alex said into the phone, trying to hold back his desperate laughing.

"Die Arbeit ist getan" (The work is done.)

Laughing harder now, causing his ribs to protest in pain, Alex sent a large electrical current through the phone, more disintegrating the phone than destroying it. Laughing a bit more, he sat up with great effort, looking towards the old lady.

What happened next was actually a bit of a surprise to Vexus. Not only could the boy generate lightning, he could also absorb it. This should have gone without saying, but everyone has different abilities on this planet anyways. With one hand he began to absorb the attack, though in a short time it proved to be more than he could handle as he had to add his other hand. Soon the blast over powered him completely and sent him flying backwards. The extra electricity was trying to make its way out of his body causing him to spasm and squirm. She slowly began to walk over to him to see if he was still conscious.
"Well then, that was pre-" Vexus was cut off the the running of a cellphone in the boy's pocket. She stared on in amusement as he pulled the device out of his pocket and answered it. He only said a single word before destroying the phone, but Vexus was not happy. It was not in the least bit polite to answer the phone in the middle of someone talking. Elena held out her hand and the boy rose up, his feet just barely being able to touch the ground. The bulk of the pressure would be around his neck
"Did no one teach you any sort of manners, boy? I sure hope that phone call was worth disrespecting me..."
She threw her hand towards the earth wall and Raikou went flying towards it, his back colliding with it creating a small crater. Vexus quickly moved in and stared him dead in his eyes, only a few feet from him.
"Who was on the phone...?" He remained quiet, despite her mechanical eye glaring straight through him. She increased the pressure she had on him, forcing him to sink further back into the rock causing it to crack more.
"Whatever respect you might have gained from me you just lost."
Vexus gave a final push, sending him clear through the rest of the earth wall and rocketing back through the bank all the way until he slammed into the metal walled safe, leaving a dent in that as well. Seconds later Vexus was leaning up against a wall a few feet away from the damaged boy.
"So, we are inside of the bank now. I know how you were just dying to get back in here." She said with a sarcastic inflection. Generally Elena is a little more easy going against weaker opponents, but the moment they do something that she is not fond of her attitude completely changed towards them. This boy was in no position now to be answering any calls, except for maybe one from the great beyond. Be though as it may, she still needed him for his abilities, so no matter how much she bashed him around she would keep him alive just enough to harness his energy.

"Well, that hurt.."

Alex said aloud as he rubbed the back of his aching head. Even among super humans his body was rather durable, and he was thankful for that. Though, his left arm was responding oddly to his commands, and he was sure he had at the minimum dislocated his shoulder, and at the maximum he had a hair line fracture. Rubble was piled all around him, a larger piece located directly over his right leg, completely impeding it's movement. With both of his arms, he may have been able to move it enough to wiggle out, but with only one, he was pretty much stuck. Regardless, it was very apparent to him he was no longer in fighting condition.

He sat in silence for a moment, before attempting to blow the rocks away with lightning. It was odd, though. For the first time in his life, his lightning would not respond to him. The power he absorbed must have fried his circuits, leaving him powerless for the moment. A lovely addition to the slew of problems he was having right now.

"Damn...I could use a smoke.."

He said aloud to none in particular as he waited for the old woman, and his death, to come.
