On the way towards the brawl, as he sprinted in inhumane speeds and leapt over obstacles, Alex wondered how exactly he and his allies were to deal with these 'distortions' Lydia had them pursue. Were the distortions concrete? Were they objects or people that needed to be destroyed? Or were they situations that needed to be straightened out? Like a relationship gone awry or the opposite. The virus figured he would know once he found it but therein lied the problem, he needed to find it. In this undoubtedly huge world. He realized he was going to need information. Maybe some non-hostile locals can help?

The scenery changed, from modern clockwork to one where plantlife held dominion. Alex saw two individuals in a fight, wielding weapons and wearing clothing that was alien to the virus but he was used to that by now. One was a female in black attire wielding a red blade, a color that matched her hair. She also has a shield that strangely has an eye to it. Her headwear also had an eye on it. The other was a black-haired male who wore a dark cape and wielded a black, large, rectangular sword.

The two fought until the man temporarily blocked the woman with some fallen trees and placing himself in front of Alex.

"Survive." Alex told the man with a commanding tone. "I have questions for you after this."

The virus felt he did not need to activate his Powers as there were multiple of them against the redhead woman. There was also the fact that he might hit his allies with the Powers as they were not exactly designed to fight alongside allies.

Thus, Alex crackled his fists as he prepared to fight the woman with only his natural, superhuman strength.
