Power Outtage
Alpha Flight had, eventually, returned to their headquarters and home after doing all they could for the town disaster.  No explanation or answers had been forthcoming, and it was possible they never would.  That such tragedy could strike without warning or meaning was disheartening, to say the least.

Tired, Alpha has spent much of the next few days recovering and mourning in their own ways.  The survivors had been taken to local medical services and were expected to recover fully.  But there were children who had been made orphans, husbands and wives who had been made widowers and widows, and parents left to bury children. 

All the survivors save one.  The man they'd found who had been unharmed.  Department H had been concerned with just how he'd managed to escape unharmed and thought he might be a possible super-human, possibly even the cause.  So they had taken custody of him, just in case.  Studying him had so far not shown any signs of anything.

In the temple, Nim settled herself onto the couch, her hair still slightly damp from her soak.

Alex wandered into the Temple and grabbed a seat in one of the recliners. //Watching anything good?// he asked.

She shook her head. "I dunno. Maybe. Haven't really been in the mood for TV."

"Just still thinking about all those dead people, I guess," she said. "I'm still having nightmares."

Alex shifted to human form to be able to really talk to her. "It was pretty horrible, but don't forget we saved people as well."

"Yeah, I know," she agreed. "It was all just so... senseless."

Deep within the bowels of the building, the man they had recovered awoke, finding himself trapped and restrained by machinery he did not understand.

Only a burning desire... no, a hunger, caused him to move. And when he did, he found his bonds snapping easily.

The power suddenly went out in the building.

Alex blinked. "Uh, that's not good," he said and then shifted into a cat. The emergency lights came on a moment later.

"Really not good." Jordan agrees. "We're on our own grid and private power supply to make it hard to trace this place or shut it down."

He calls out over coms, "Something going on. Stick together, if you're on your own, find the nearest team member. No one explore too much alone, then we need to find out what's going on."

"My eyes are pretty dang good in the dark too," Nim added.

She could, after all, see in nearly lightless depths.

A door barred his way. He raised a hand and blasted it to pieces. His very footsteps burned into the steel floor, leaving an easy trail to follow behind him. Even the security lights dimmed briefly as he passed them.

Alarms began going off.

With Alpha still upstairs in the base, and with word from Department H that Jordan Bochs was to be kept as far away from this guy as possible, Beta Flight had been dispatched in house to slow him down.

"Okay, gang," Antibody said. "This is our show. We do good, maybe we get a seat at the big table."

"Set'emup,knock'emdown," Blur said, very nearly too quickly to parse. Skuzz, Twilight, and Glitter may have still been too out of it from the previous days... but maybe the four of them could stop this guy.

He shot out of the ground in a corona of fire, just outside of Alpha Flight's base.

Where was he? Why had he been taken here? And what was this burning desire for more power...?

And here was Alpha. Or most of it, anyway. Once back-up power had been restored, they'd been alerted to what was going on... except that orders from the top were that Jordan was not to engage.

"That's... that's the guy we rescued?"

Oddly, the closer they got, the members of Alpha Flight might be feeling a little bit weaker, there powers a little less sure..

The man, still bathed in a corona of power, unleashed a pair of blasts at the heroes.

The man woke up some time later, chained in the back of a moving vehicle of some kind. He felt groggy... drugged, but clearer headed than he had under the influence of his power.

There was no power source he could feel close enough. That may have been the drugs.

Quietly, but suddenly, a man appeared before him, bare chested with a fox-headdress and cape. He pressed his finger to his lips, signaling quiet...

Then tossed some dust into the air. Both he and the other man were gone.
