"Wait, what?" Michael had been startled by the main's sudden appearance out of thin air, but tried not to let it show. "Where would you take us? Excuse me if I'm rude, but I don't know who the hell you are! I wouldn't be doing a good job if I just trusted everyone. For all I know you could be one of them!"

Michael then saw the prone, limp figure of Stephen. The face stilled, the eyes empty. Faith had told him to bring his body to safety. Once more he tried to send his thoughts out, tried to reach Faith. Maybe her hightened awareness could pick up his tenuous thoughts.

Man offers way out for Stephen and me. Want to reach me, I'm on Stephen's channel... Now he hoped she'd pick it up.
Michael kneeled, grabbed Stephen's earpiece and stuffed it in his pocket. His one hand touched his pistol's handle, the other went to the stranger's.
"Take us away then. But one wrong move and it'll be your last one."

You're much too untrusting, he said to himself. But he brushed the thought aside. It never hurt anyone to be careful. Better safe than sorry.

Kai grabbed Michael's hand and smiled I'm Kai by the way, i was trying to save him he is only a child" Kai then shut his eyes and the three of them turned into a cloud of smoke and appeared in the Elevator that took them down into the Avenger's HQ "i believe this is your HQ" Kai muttered, "I used to be one of you guys, i quit when i lead my team into an Ambush and they were all killed.

Kai then stood up and a tear rolled down his cheek he then glanced over his shoulder and smiled at Michael "your safe now" he then looked back at the pannel and pressed the ground floor button the security camera spun around and looked at who was in the Elevator "take Shooter to the science lab" a voice announced and then it paused "electro, is that you?" Kai looked up at the camera "yea it is" the Elevator began moving "rumours had it you were killed in action" Kai smiled "yea, they were my fault"

[OOC: Ok, no problem]

Michael had to fight down a feeling of desorientation as their surroundings suddenly blurred, then changed into the Avengers headquarter's elevator. After he'd recovered, he quickly looked around and was relieved to find the body of Stephen present, and the man posing no discernable threat.

"Sorry to hear that," Michael said with heartfelt sympathy. "It must have been tough on you." He turned and picked Stephen's body up carefully, finding it an awkward job. It was odd to carry someone like this. It felt somehow... disrespectful. He grunted with the effort as he stood up, taking note of the voice's order.

As he got down into the corridor he made to proceed carrying Stephen's body to the Science Lab. He was startled to find the alarms sounding and lights flashing. He fumbled for his pistol with his left hand while holding on to Stephen with his right. Something was wrong here. The enemy hadn't come in here, had they? Cautiously he proceeded down the corridor in the direction of the Science Lab, looking out for whatever would be amiss here.

Right in the Avengers' headquarters? Things are really getting serious now... He reached for his earpiece to notify the rest of the team who were still out there.

Kai walked next to Michael as he went towards the Science lab. Upon their arrival a kind of mad doctor looking guy looked at them "well, thank you for getting him here while he is still warm" the Doctor muttered Kai looked at him "No problem Doc" the Doctor looked at him and smiled "Electro, i remember when you first came here, heavy electrical burns" Kai smiled "i go by Kai now and yes, i learned to control it"

Kai then looked at Stephen "I know what your gunna do Doc, the power swap Serum" the Doctor nodded "yes, but how did you know?" Kai then smiled " a young boy wanted to live a normal life, so i took his power of teleportation using it" the Doctor Nodded "then you know what is required?" Kai nodded and then looked at Michael "you might want to leave"

the Doctor then filled a syringe with a glowing yellow fluid "ready?" Kai nodded the Doctor injected Stephen and Kai placed his hand on Stephen's chest. Kai's electrical charge shot into Stephen as did a kind of purple flash.

Stephen took a deep breath and his Gunshot wound vanished, and Kai fell to the floor, Stephen sat up, amazed to be alive "what happened" he demanded "I gave you my powers, to save your life" Kai replied, "I have always wanted to be normal" Stephen was shocked

Before Alex could respond to the woman's questions, chaos broke out all around him. Avengers were appearing, running, teleporting, all kinds of things. I don't have time for this. She says she is their leader, fine. I'll just wait for this rabble to clear out, then we can communicate like civilized people. Finally, the other Avengers were gone, leaving Alex and this woman alone on the deserted base. He cleared his throat.

"That is better, yes? Now we can talk like...civilized people." He began to walk slowly towards her as he continued speaking. "And to answer your question, I don't want to kill you. I certainly wouldn't want to kill someone so...fascinating. I only desire to see what you all are capable of. After all, the Avengers have been quite the active force lately." In spite of the fact that he had an accent, Alex's words were easy to understand. It was obvious that Alex was an accomplished public speaker. "Surely there is no need for all of this anger from you." He had come within a few steps of her now.

"Oh, and did you receive the...package that I sent for you?" He smiled, and stopped walking. "If you continue to be irrational, then I am prepared to fight you, and I won't hold back. As I said before, I've no intention of shedding blood here today, unnecessarily. After all, we are similar, you and I. But if you insist on being so angry, I will not hold back..." His eye narrowed as he waited for a response...

he looked at Kai almost as though he had just been told his family were dead again, "so this strange feeling i have" Kai stood up "you were dead and this was the only way to save you" Kai explained "that feeling is your body adjusting to it's new cell make-up, you now have two powers now, the ability to control and Manipulate Electrical currents, and the ability to teleport, but it's best to do that outside as it can get kinda smokey in small places" Stephen placed his Feet on the floor and stood up he had felt better but he was able to walk.

"I...Don't know what to say" Kai placed Stephen's Ear piece on the table "I think you should radio your friends" Kai then turned around and walked to the door, he stopped at the door, "I shall be waiting for you in the gym, i need to teach you to control your powers" Stephen looked at Kai as he exited then placed his Ear piece in his right ear and pressed Down on it "Guys, this is shooter, I'm alive thanks to the mad science department and an old agent, Faith, you have been around a while what was Electro like?" Stephen then chased after Kai to go to the gym and 'learn to control' his powers

After a moment of hesitation, Michael put down Stephen's body. He didn't like it when they wanted to research bodies of the deceased. Why couldn't they let them rest in piece? "Thanks for the help," he told the man who had been named Electro by the operator in the camera control room but had identified himself as Kai. He remembered something. "These were his," he said as he gave Kai Stephen's earpiece. "See that it stays with him."

Slowly, he walked out of theScience Lab and proceeded to his own room, where he sat down heavily on the bed. Immediately, he jumped up again. He wasn't done yet! The fight was still going on up there. Stephen's body was safe now, he'd go back... no, wait. The alarms in the base! In his state he'd almost forgotten about it, as the sound had been muted. But there still could be something amiss. As he stormed out of his room again, he halted and took his own earpiece from the cabinet that contained his clothing. Better not forget that again.

The corridors were empty. Everyone was either at the battle outside, or they were just somewhere else in the building. Michael cursed silently. If there'd be anyone around he could have asked what was going on, what he was looking for. But right now, he was just randomly looking around, watching for nothing in particular.

Then, suddenly in the corner in his eye he spotted some movement, though he couldn't exactly be sure what, because as he turned around all he saw was an empty corridor. Was the radiation sickness affecting his mind? A few moments more he peered into the corridor, pistol raised.

Then he heard something that caused Michael to stand transfixed, while his heart hammered in his chest.

"Guys, this is shooter, I'm alive thanks to the mad science department and an old agent, Faith, you have been around a while what was Electro like?"

Michael's eyes widened.

Faith took off her earpiece and pocketed it in her denim jacket, now finally able to discuss like "civilised people", as Alex had described it. "Surely, someone who's bound to be anti-Avenger and is facing the leader is bound to kill them," she said sarcastically, but continued to glare coldly at Alex closely. He's different, all right. Most people would fight, but why does he want to talk? What's he up to? She listened to what he said, but her suspicions remained otherwise. "You can bet that we've been active. With all the Supernatural sightings down here, no one else is going to do anything, are they?" But then he had called her fascinating. What did that mean? "And I suppose you don't mind telling me why I'm so fascinating?"

She laughed at his remark about her anger. "Well, that's one reason why you shouldn't piss me off, that's for sure," assumed Faith. He stopped walking at this point, which put her on her guard almost instantly. "Why should I believe that you don't want to see me bleed?" She tried reading his mind again, but it was too hard to do so and it caused her to get a headache. He really DOES have some serious voodoo protecting him. Faith pointed her finger at him angrily. "You and I are NOT similar! While you scourge the earth with your Supernatural creatures, I vow to save the world and actually not be so selfish for once!" she yelled. "What separates us is that I stand with The Avengers and you stand with whatever Supernatural organisation you have!"
