The rest of the conversation between Alex and Mystique went more like a business transaction. After that they took him back to where they grabbed him in a similar way they had taken him to the place they had just been at. Without saying another word they split off like nothing had happened.
Alex walked the rest of the way home reading over the dossier to make sure he didn't miss a single tidbit of information. He wasn't sure, but something about this guy seemed familiar. Alex couldn't tell what it was, yet he felt like he knew him or at least knew about him. Looking at the file though he knew he'd probably need Alonso's help to gather more info. He closed the file sticking it in his bag then started running for home.
He ran straight to the building that the reclusive leader had made his base. Walking inside Alex could feel the heat emanating from all the different machines inside the room. "Alonso! Where you at?" Alex waited a moment before a small drone flew up towards his face. The voice of the resident technopath and 'savior' of this group of mutants came out of the machine. "Kinda in alert mode. Need you to head ta Stark Industries. I sent Fredrick there to get me a piece of tech I need for a project, but it seems that an unforeseen situation not caused by him is occurring. See what's going on and do whatever you thinks best."
Alex sighed then produced the dossier saying, "Fine. You can repay the favor by looking into this guy for me. Get any info you can. He's my next target." The light on the drone blinked indicating a yes. Alex set the dossier done then bolted out the room. Of all the people that escaped Alonso was the only one that Alex hated. He and Alonso were the only ones that really knew how they escaped.
It didn't take very long to get to the large tower that was the home base of Stark Industries. Alex pulled the hood over his head and then ran towards the spot he could smell that seemed ashy. "Geez, not very subtle. This hole is ridiculous." Alex poked his head inside and inspected the scene. He saw six combatants but saw that one was the new Iron Man he had to listen to Alonso fanboy about.
Before stepping inside Alex smelled for Fredrick's scent then rushed to his side when he found it. The boy, who was wearing a costume that made him look like a ridiculously fat entrepreneur, jumped at the sight of his friend. "Thank goodness your here. Look, I need you to keep all of them distracted while I grab the tech we need." Alex gave a sideways glance to his newly rotund friend saying, "Seriously. I'm pretty sure their distracted enough."
"I know, but if one side beats the other then chances of me getting noticed are higher. I need you to run some kind of interference."
Alex groaned but nodded his head. He then stood up and walked to the center of the room just after the big guy got blasted across it. "Time outs are a little boring dontcha think? A coma would be much nicer. Whaddya say, tin man, need a little help?"
