Averting Disaster

[Nox]

A little girl and her dog came bounding down the stairs startling Sasha and a fireball formed in his hand and before he threw it Nox stepped in front of him and backed him up against the wall and pinned his hand against the wall with his good hand. The mechanical arm wasn't ready yet and his arm wasn't healed. And he didn't have the fucking power. He wasn't angry. He wasn't even a little bit angry that Sasha had pulled the power so easily and that he was threatening a little girl.

Nox's voice was cool and distant like he was holding the power but he hardly noticed. "Drop the power. Now."

Sasha looked at Nox with fear and dropped the power, or at least the fireball.

Nox turned to make sure the girl was alright. She looked familiar but she wasn't one of his. "Are you alright?"
