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.

Something... something was wrong. He wasn't drawing any power off of this one... Just what mutant energies were locked in him?

The man growled, and fired a blast of his remaining energy.

The blast hits and... tingles. Jordan does get something from it... he feels like he just drank a couple gallons of Monster Energy drinks... but it definitely doesn't hurt.

"Want to try that again, or do I start punching you now?"

This was... strange. Very strange. The fiery corona around him had started to fade, the energy less intense.

He let out an inarticulate growl and charged at Jordan.

Jordan's own absorption powers are normally a slow, minor process. Here, however, the man's own abilities seem to have kick-started them, in combination with Jordan's own tendency to shrug most things off. He'll ponder the specifics later - right now, he has a country to save.

Jordan takes the first punch, swinging back with one of his own. He's not the greatest combatant, but so far, this guy hasn't exactly had to rely on massive expertise either.

The blow... hurt? He didn't understand any of this. The fiery fog was clearing from his mind, and yet the desire for power remained...

He charged a fist with some of his remaining energy and threw one more punch.

Every punch is just making Jordan feel more and more off - not in an injured way, but like he's had way, way, way too much sugar, caffeine and a dozen other stimulants besides.

When he swings back, due to that, it may be with more force than he intends.

The blow hits him hard, knocking him away. He bounces twice, before lying still on the ground. Still breathing, but very clearly out of the fight. The last of his glow around him faded.

Jordan is just working on catching his breath, feeling too wired to think straight.

Nim has crawled herself over to Mason. "Mason..." she gasped. "He's... he's hurt... bad."

/Mel? Are you okay?/ Alex asked as he crawled toward her.

"Mhmm," Mel whimpered affirmatively from where she'd crouched "Are you okay? I... I don't know what to do"

"I'm..." Mason coughs, keeping pressure on his side, not daring to remove the larger piece of debris. "I'm fine... just find myself looking very uncool right now.

I was gonna finish him off, but then Jordie showed up, and I don't want Mom and Dad to think I'm sheltering him." Mason manages a weak laugh, even as he seems a bit feverish, if not outright delirious.

He wants to reassure everyone, and get into making the arrangements, but right now, Jordan is having trouble piecing two thoughts together, just feeling on edge and wired as a result of the absorption and odd powers.

Still, he can see people crawling, and gets started with dialing for medical help, needing to start over several times since he can't quite stop shaking.

Nim slipped Mason's hand into hers. "You're gonna be... you're gonna be fine..." she said, quietly.

"Just banged up a bit," Alex said after shifting into human form. He went over to Mel and put an arm around her. He was hurting, a lot, but he wasn't going to tell her that.

Mel just hugs.
