(((( Awww. No choppers bro? Well, this'll do ))))
Having taken so much time away from her male-counterpart, Roman, or who she now considered her brother, Ramona returned back home. She figured going to the park would make for a nice break. The wind felt nice, as she came to a stop, and took in the breeze. Taking a deep breath, she sat down on a bench and just watched as the people passed by, going about their own business but soon came someone who seemed a little different. She seemed a little bothered by something and it seemed to have something to do with nature. Another thing that made her stand out little more was that Ramona can sense a energy within her which told her that she was too a super just like herself. Ramona, being the nicer person she had become on her time away, decided to see if she could spark conversation. Hopping up, she made her way over to this person, "Hmm.. Something bothering you, miss?" she asked curiously.
This was the the time of year for joy and happiness, yet Alejandro was still cooped up in his dorm living on instant ramen. It was sad really. His family visited him, inviting him home for, Christmas, but he denied. He couldn't get the images out of his head from his mission, and he didn't want to go out yet. He was.. Well he was afraid of seeing more people get hurt. As the television emitted the light it did, Alejandro slumped over onto a pillow beside him. It began to get cold, why? Alejandro ignored it and just stared at the TV. The cold feeling eventually went away, and he sighed. The heat was out again, but someone must have fixed. Returning to his pit of despair, the boy began to oddly feel worried. What was this? Was it because he ignored his family? Was he finally feeling the whiplash from killing all those men? Nah, those guys weren't innocent.
"I'll just go on a walk. Clear my mind..." Getting out of the pajamas he had on for days on end and finally taking a shower didn't affect him in any way. He still felt dirty.. And even more worried than before. He felt.. Colder. Putting on his jacket and pulling the hood over his head, he stared in the mirror. He didn't know what to think of himself anymore. He abandoned his friends and family and what of Astrid? Was she sent on missions alone? Was she given a new partner? What did it matter to him anymore? She was on her own. "Aaagh!" Alejandro took off the jacket and threw it on the floor. "What is going on? W-Why... Am I feeling this way?" He then felt his own power coming from somewhere. Somewhere other than where he was. He the grabbed his sword and for the first time in a long time left his dorm. He was running now, his destination was wherever this energy had been coming from.
Going through the cold, Alejandro didn't seem to take any time to stop. He was still confused as to why he could feel his own energy coming from whoever this person might be, but now it seemed to be in some sort of trouble. Alejandro looked to his side, and soon ran that way, his path being stopped by traffic. He grit his teeth and began jumping on top of cars to get across the street quicker and soon found himself bursting into a store. He then closed his eyes and attempted to get a lock on the energy before it disappeared or anything. This wasn't the time to take any chances and he didn't plan to. Finding the exact position of where it was coming from, he went there.
He couldn't believe what he saw. When he made it there, he froze. He saw Astrid and some guy. He felt himself grow angry, the need to seriously harm the shithead who put his hands on her. Alejandro felt the way he felt when on that mission. He hated that feeling. His lust for blood raging to get out, and he changed forms. His hair turned blue and his eyes blue just like his usual form. He didn't know what was to come of this situation as he soon felt his own power rising inside of him, ready to explode and well.. It did just that. The power inside of him exploded. He had a change in appearance again and experienced a power he never felt before. His hair was now golden along with the aura that flowed around him.
"Y-You fucking coward!"
He stared down the male who was holding Astrid and he only grew angrier. "Who in the right mind... do you think you are where can lay even a single finger on her?!" Alejandro yelled at him before holding out the palm of his hand and shooting a ball of energy to separate him from Astrid. He didn't want her in arms reach because he didn't know if he was going to be in control for long. With all the strength in his body, he flew towards him with immense speed and sent his fist driving into the boy's stomach.
When Owen was sent flying away, Alejandro was standing beside Astrid who he had knocked on the ground away from him. He then looked down and his eyes locked on to a couple of necklaces. Fire and ice... He then looked at Astrid before looking away and back towards where Owen was just in case he came back.
Zeke looked at him ,“ I'll show you my powers I don't really know much. But here I go.”
ASTRID FINCHETT
If Astrid was being honest with herself, she wasn't sure what was going to happen or if she had the strength to stop it. The situation brought up memories from the past that made her body freeze in place, as if there were some kind of hold on her nerves and she was as helpless as a puppet. Of course, she didn't want any of this; part of the whole reason she wanted to escape so badly from underground was to escape the shithole that was her life there. Astrid wasn't so naive to think that there wasn't stuff like that above ground, but she wanted to escape that part of her life as much as she could. It seemed it was destined to haunt her.
But then, out of nowhere, there was a voice. The last voice she expected to hear at all. Alejandro's voice. His yelling made both her own and Owen's heads turn toward the source, and there he was, looking different than she had ever seen him. Normally she wouldn't have recognized him with how different he looked at the moment, but both the sound of his voice and some gut feeling told her that it was her (old?) partner. She didn't know what it was, whether it be some connection of fate or intuition, but she just knew. Her scar stayed cold.
"Blue..?"
Alejandro looked pissed. Astrid could understand being angry at the kind of situation she was in, but not as angry as he was. Apparently he was angry enough to fly down and simultaneously knock her away from her "boyfriend" and knock Owen about two blocks down the alleyway. The shock from Owen's near-assault and the action of being knocked down left Astrid only able to barely brace for a fall and look at what was happening around her.
Now that Astrid had a chance to recover a bit from what happened, a bunch of feelings repressed by the shock were finally resurfacing all at the same time. Relief, from being saved. Fear, from Owen almost having his way with her. Confusion, at the chain of events that was currently happening. Anger, at Alejandro nearly killing her "boyfriend" and just showing up out of nowhere after having left for so long without so much as a single "goodbye." Astrid stood up, took a few steps toward Alejandro, and sent a fist flying at his face, her hand cloaking itself in fire as she did so. The sudden flames took Astrid a bit by surprise as she brought her hand back, staring at it in wonder. That wasn't something that had ever happened before. But once the novelty of the fire had worn off, which didn't take all that long, Astrid felt more anger and a mix of other feelings bubble to the surface, and she began a yelling rant at him.
"What the hell, Blue??! What the FUCK do you think you're doing just attacking someone like that??!! I could have handled it myself, you ass!! And besides, where the HELL have you been??? You just up and disappear, no trace of you for MONTHS and then you think it's fine to just show up as if nothing had happened??! Not even a freaking goodbye or anything!! You can tell your piece of shit ice dragon that you're leaving, and by the way I'm still not okay with him, especially the fact that he's dating Skylar, but you can't tell your partner?? I thought we were SUPPOSED to tell each other these things!! If you had to leave, that was fine, but you could have said something!! Jesus, Blue!!"
Astrid was breathing hard after her words ended, and her eyes were shooting daggers at Alejandro. The hurt that Astrid had been feeling over Alejandro's disappearance was coming to light now, whether she meant it or not.
