[Melting Point, New York, Inside the city]

Firing the beam didn't take too much of a toll on Melting Point, but it did leave him slightly out of breath after ending it. A little girl stood, waving and asking what the beam was.
[b]"A little girl? What are you doing here, kid?"[/b] he asked, suddenly realising the more pressing question, [b]"Actually, where the fuck IS this place and how is it that a little kid like you is still alive? And yes, that beam was me."[/b] He didn't care for children. If anything, he couldn't be bothered to give a fuck about them. Even still, a kid shouldn't be out is a place as desolate as this... Unless... 

He stepped back from the girl, keeping his distance and forming the 7 spots of heat around his front, focusing power there and preparing his Melting Point unless the kid tried anything funny. [i]Damnit, Kakine, you son of a bitch. I'm gonna fucking kill you when I get back[/i] he thought, now cursing the fact he went to sleep in Dark Matter's presence.
[b]"Listen kid, I don't know who you are but try any shit and I send these through your body faster than you can react. Got it?"[/b] he said, now retreating one of the beams behind him and forming a shield.
