Attack of the Evil Grandfathers: Time for Dramatic Splash Pages! In a Sociopath's Delusional Mind!
Well, that'd been a fun little jaunt uptown. Here was hoping it would put some ideas in the girl's head that his new buddy could make use of. Or not. Maybe it wasn't that kind of story. And of course, the Thinker hadn't been able to take down Alpha Flight. No harm, no harm. All just interlude. Just softening up.
But waltzing up to a base in the middle of nowhere, of course, isn't Zeb's style. Too vulnerable, not enough leverage. So he's in town, cozy in a restaurant he's properly taken over, having analyzed a few choice haunts, keeping an eye out for any of Kara's girl's little friends.

He dialed the phone.

	His phone will ring, and the voice on the other end will be a rich, lightly-accented baritone. "Alex, Right? Melanie's boyfriend?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"This is Mr. Killgrave. I have a restaurant full of people stuffed to the gills, none of the watered down failsafes written into Kara's abilities -- and an afternoon to kill. Point intended. I want to see Melanie, in person." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"She doesn't want to see you," Alex said as he hit his Alpha Flight communicator. He put it next to the phone so his teammates can hear. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"She also doesn't want to hear about the restaurant full of people casually murdered with a sentence, one by one. She'll angst for a few pages about it, and then we'll see. I can have someone jump off the roof now, if you'd like an illustration." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Nim had been on monitor duty when Alex's comm had activated. She quickly triggered the silent alarm on the others' devices, urging them to the command center. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	When the alarm starts, Jordan is on his way quickly. Too much going on, too much chance of dire circumstances, which has left him on edge expecting something like the situation he's about to hear about. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alex watched the Purple Man like a hawk. He could have watched him as a hawk, but what he really wanted to do what transform into something and rip the man apart. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alex will not see Killgrave emerge before Alpha Flight get there. Eventually, a few glassy-eyed figures will stand at the window of the nearby restaurant, each holding a steak knife with idle firmness, but with no signs of violence yet. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alpha Flight gets there in a hurry. Jordan sets the hover mode on, and leaps without a parachute. Not entirely necessary - but his first effort in any hostile situation is to draw attention to himself and off his teammates. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mel's a little slower getting down, out of physical necessity, but she manages to barely hesitate. There's people in danger, and especially Alex. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mason just grumbles slightly as he takes the zip-line to the ground. One of these days, he swears, he's getting a jetpack. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A psychotic who believes he is a cheesy fictional supervillain is never going to pass up a chance to look at the dramatic entrance. Zebediah Killgrave stands in the restaurant doorway watching Jordan and slow-clapping. "And you must be the resident White Knight. How much do you need to breathe, Jordan?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Mel hugs Alex tightly, then watches as her Grandfather begins threatening Jordan...

And she thinks. It's a little hard, because this is the voice quoted by her nightmares talking. But she thinks. She's not much of a strategist, but some things are clear, and there's also biology to consider. She is not her grandmother.

"I have to get past him," she tells Alex, her feet already sinking into the ground.
