[h2]Alessa Heather: Charity Fundraiser[/h2]
Igneous-? Damn, he was smarter than she’d given him credit for! Or he'd gotten help. Speaking of smarts, she needed to do some materials research so something like this didn’t happen again - she didn’t generally try for specific temperatures from her beams, instead just shooting out what felt right at the time. Even so, she knew it [i]had[/i] a melting point, something over a thousand degrees if she recalled correctly. She just needed to crank her own heat high enough.

After avoiding his thrown attack. ‘Thanks, Overlook!’ she exclaimed as the Rocker’s leader scooped up a surprisingly large chunk of rock. But a relatively slow-moving chunk, nonetheless - the moment he chucked it, she would leap out of its path and strike back before the statue could act again.

Or, alternatively, the massive dinosaur that was Lillian could shunt her out of its path instead. Just a touch winded, Alessa gave a quiet thumbs up to her new girlfriend, then shifted off of her tail and called ‘Whatever you do, don’t get between me and the statue when I attack!’ This was less an order, and more a warning to anyone in earshot - if her heat expulsion was hot enough to melt igneous rock, it was more than sufficient to practically vaporise flesh on contact or even in its general vicinity, even if she directed it in a way that minimised heat loss from the ray.

That said, she had a perfect opportunity now. The statue, it seemed, was being mobbed by heroes: the new hero Mastar had leapt onto the golem, another character looked like they had smashed right into the titan’s skull, and that one member of that one group, what was her name, Kyoshi? Yes, that sounded right, was seemingly doing something to the statue’s other leg. And with Lillian circling, she had cover until... now! She charged out from behind Lillian, moving the opposite direction to the twenty-foot reptile girl, and aimed at the leg she’d been trying to melt before. This time, rather than merely being bright, the ray was practically incandescent, as the air itself energised and glowed in its wake. She’d put in at least two and a half times as much power behind her beam as before, beginning to dig into her stored power rapidly; if that didn’t melt the rock in short order, she rather wondered if she’d run out before the day’s end.

Like in the warehouse...

Alessa, no. It won’t be like that again.
