[i]"Vesuvius is about to erupt!"[/i], Alec smirked as he grabbed the water bottle the fire meta threw at him. That was no reason for him to feel proud. Going from the footage pulled from the tape, he could control his fire with enough dexterity to burn a specific part and/or person while leaving the rest of the surrounding area unharmed, therefore indicating he was as safe in the meta's place as he would be if their argument took place outside. All that considered, Alec didn't fear the man. He only feared the possibility that his quest might end without enough closure on the situation. And his only way to get that closure was the petite Italian meta standing in front of him. Unlike Elijah, she was quite level-headed and was willing to cooperate. The ninja finally made his noisy descent, causing an uproar in the room. Alec fixated his glowing gaze at him only to reveal he was just a seventeen year old boy, and like every teenager, he seemed to be craving attention. Alec was ready to make a comment only to be cut short by Roze, who scolded the kid, a hint of an Italian accent noticed in her speech. He snatched the water bottle from the spot in between his legs and swiftly threw it at the boy while saying "You need it more than me." before framing Elijah in his peripheral vision. "In the Wild West, denying booze to men often had painful consequences", Alec made an indirect threat. He was already aware the situation would explode faster than one could say 'subderisorious', hence why he took the chance to throw a couple of stings at the arrogant meta. Roze, in the other hand, seemed to be completely oblivious of the situation, completely losing herself on Alec's gaze. She even ignored her partner's commands to stop cooperating when she answered the questions previously aimed at her. That was when Alec realized he was chasing his own tail all along. If he wasn't so good at restraining his feelings, he'd probably burst out laughing at his failure. To reward Roze's patience and serenity, Alec decided to answer hers and Elijah's questions any way. "Registered government employee, callsign; Lighthouse", he declared, his eyes jumping from Roze to Elijah while completely ignoring the kid. "I'm tracking the man responsible for the broadcast that forced you two into hiding." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I'll go with Pamela and the emotion manipulator", Dean made a choice, not fully briefed on what was happening with the girl who was escorted around by drones. He regretted his choice shortly afterwards, and he had a good reason behind it; if Jenni took complete control over him, there would be a load of dead protester bodies. It was already too late to change mind, though. After the trio dropped in the 'battle' zone, the odds turned to their favor fast, with the emotion manipulator, Abigail, completely overwhelming the crowd at the blink of an eye. There was nothing left to do for Dean but follow Pamela as she ran away to evacuate the families.
