Two thugs moved off towards Isaac, demeanor threatening. He seemed athletic, but Louis didn't think Isaac was the fighting type. He moved to help, but the remaining thug and the leader, Matt, if Louis recalled correctly, moved to intercept him.

"I don't know who you are, dude, but do [i]not[/i] think you're going to interrupt a friendly reunion." 

[i]God,[/i] Louis thought. [i]This guys a dick. How'd a nice guy like Isaac end up with this jackoff?[/i]

[i]Just kill him, dumbass. You have powers. Use them. Practice.[/i]

Louis shook his head. Were those really his thoughts? Did he truly feel such hatred towards someone he didn't even know?

[i]Doesn't matter! You have to fight, now![/i] Louis came out of his mind with a jolt. Matt had advanced during Louis's mental struggle and struck him with a metal pipe that had been lying on the floor. A flurry of emotions erupted from Louis from the blow. Fear, pain, [i]hate[/i].

Matt was coming down for a death blow when Louis's eyes crept open. He put his hand up to stop it and closed his eyes. He heard a shout, not his, Matt's,  possibly, and a thud. Louis's eyes shot open to catch Matt slide across the floor, the pipe in his hand bent on a strange way. Louis's amazement gave way as the hatred returned.

[i]He tried to kill you. [b]End him![/b][/i] Louis gave into his anfer, his hatred, and a blinding thought came to his mind. It was all he could think about. [i]Combine the powers you have. Make them pay. Show them true strength.[/i]

Louis brought his arm back, as if to ready a punch, he suddenly felt a weight in his hand; when he looked back, he realized that he could visibly see how dense the air around his hand was. It was with a red glow and seemed to shake everything he could see beyond it. As his heart began to think about the potential regret, he threw his power with a savage shout, and a brilliant flame erupted where Matt had been.

Once it was over, nothing could be heard. Not the screams, not the fire, not even the overhead sprinklers. Louis observed what he had done and terror swelled within him. Matt had been rearranged to decorate the walls, the moron that stood beside him was missing limbs, and the wall behind them had a massive hole opening to the outside. Louis looked back to see Isaac and a girl staring at him.
