One moment, Eli had been focused on the device, shielding it with his magic. Then next… [color=0054a6]“Hey-WAIT-!”[/color] he yelped as something grabbed his cape and yanked. He tumbled off the rooftop, and for a moment, the world turned red.

He hit the ground harder than he meant to, rolling instinctively like they’d practiced in hand-to-hand, but the wind still got knocked from his lungs. He landed in what looked like a conference room, chairs knocked over, papers fluttering. His heart pounded as he scrambled up, his eyes went wide. The roof above him shimmered with unstable magic that definitely wasn’t his.

[color=0054a6]“What the hell…”[/color] he mumbled as he shakily got himself up. His instincts screamed danger

Then he saw her. That woman, the source of the chaos magic. She had been smiling as if this were some sort of cosmic joke. [color=0054a6]“Y-y-you—”[/color] Eli’s voice cracked. He scrambled to his feet. His hands glowed with blue magic. [color=0054a6]“Y-y-you can’t just drag people through walls! That’s- That’s kidnapping!”[/color]

She was powerful. Clearly way more experienced, and way more chaotic than anything he had practiced against. [color=0054a6]“…What do you want?”[/color] he asked, trying to sound braver than he felt. [color=0054a6]“Dragging a kid into an office meeting room isn’t exactly peak villain strategy…”[/color] He tried to sound confident, and heroic, but it was his first encounter with a villian, and his feet were ready to run.
