It took some time but Alex was finally feeling some degree of better. The ringing in his ears was almost gone, his body didn't feel utterly disgusting despite where he had previously been lodged inside of. Could be worse, there was a good chance of him being actually sore from this encounter though. He'd complain about it later. 

[i]Alright. Gotta get up. Need to find Yue and make sure she's ok. Then get us back to Shield Town.[/i] 
He ticked off his mental checklist before trying to pull himself into an upright position. He then proceeded to slip on the viscera that coated the ground, landing him on his back again with a resounding thud despite the short distance. 

[b][color=00BFFF]"Fucking, No! not doing this bullshit right now."[/color][/b] He grumbled loudly mostly to himself and the universe in general. 

Tentatively, Alex made an attempt to make a small construct in front of his eyes to see if he had anything in him. There was some surprise when the hard light cube flickered into existence and there wasn't so much as a prickle of pain from his head. that was either really fortunate, or a very bad sign. 

[i]. . . Screw it. Can't risk leaving us out here if more beasts show up.[/i] A burst of blue energy got him off the ground, it was quickly followed by a barrier field that passed over him head to toe. All the blood and gore passed right off him, being taken along with the field as it passed over him. He gave himself a moment to be thankful he even learned this trick in the first place. Never had to conventionally clean his costume and armor most days.

Back on track, Alex turned to inspect the field. . . . . Well, The hydra was definitely dead. He wouldn't be surprised if some pieces had launched high enough to stain the tower plate overhead. Real question was what wasn't blood splattered in the general vicinity.

After finding his helmet, and discovering it was miraculously in one piece, Alex finally Came across Yue. He instantly tensed up at the sight. Not just due to the fact that she appeared unconscious, but mostly because of the random person that was currently hovering around her doing . . . something? best guess was that powers were involved. or at least something was going on. you don't just see random people alone outside settlement walls with a shitstorm like this going on. 

Part of him felt like he had seen her somewhere before but just couldn't place it yet. He quickly slammed his helmet on and trudged over, making sure to keep both women in his field of view the entire time. 

[color=00BFFF][b]"Hey! Not to sound rude but would you mind stepping away from my friend there and identifying yourself?"[/b][/color] As he spoke, his eyes began to glow blue. With a mental push a fairly solid barrier formed around Yue's prone form for good measure. Better safe then sorry. Still no real feedback from that field either though. [i]Concerned later, gotta focus on the now.[/i]
