Things had definitely escalated quickly. Alex wasn't even entirely sure why he had punched the guy. He wasn't even "hit" by the bottle. At least not directly. Then again the redneck wasn't hit directly by his fist either so he guessed they were pretty much even. He was ready to take on the lot of them. He wasn't that skilled in fighting, but with his powers he didn't necessarily need to. He got into a defensive position, but dropped it when David appeared to his side and caused a redneck to trip and fall with his delta particle form. Those powers were really useful. Things would only have to get worse from now on and he expected it to. [color=00aeef]"I honestly don't even know, David. It just happened."[/color]

He suddenly heard a roar and stood still. He could feel the hair on his skin to stand. He wasn't scared, but his body was telling him that he was. He turned his head to see one of the professors who had arrived on the scene. When Alex looked around he noticed that a number of protesters and students had disappeared from the area. Was this the professor's doing? He couldn't believe that he was potentially scared of this guy. From the inhaler to the speech impediment he didn't feel like a threat, but that would change if you saw him without the inhaler.

After he had arrived to stop the commotion another student came up and smacked some rednecks with a bow. She didn't seem to care about the command to stop from the professor and because of that she was cool in Alex's book. [color=00aeef]"The name's Alex and this is David."[/color] He was going to answer her question about how she could help, but the protesters that hadn't disappeared had been charging back at them. This was it. It was going to be them versus the rednecks. He liked their odds.

Then they... stopped? They were trying to shout and say something, but he couldn't hear anything coming from them. Hell, they weren't even moving towards them anymore. He took this as his chance to mock them. He turned his side to them and lifted his left hand to his ear and taunted them.

[color=00aeef]"What's that? I can't hear you over the sound of we mutants beating you. That'll show you to mess with Alex and his crew."[/color] He turned to David and Artemis before saying, [color=00aeef]"We're a crew now. We're also roommates."[/color]
