Ash fell on her skin.
Dark clouds illuminated by the red hue of the wildfire blanketed the sky.
Light covered her face and a mingling of voices carried by shadowy figures moving all around filled her ears.
She blinked, it felt like an eternity.
Two men were on the floor breathing heavily.
Their colorful costumes were torn, burnt and melted, their skin glistening with sweat and dirt.
Another blink another eternity.
She felt his presence.
He descended from the sky, hair wild and dirty.
His costume gone, his cape wrapped around his waist.
An avalanche of heat engulfed her as he landed.
He leaned in. His scars seemed to ripple in the red tinted light.
Her heart skipped and she blinked.
Less than an eternity.
She saw metal walls and felt pressure in her stomach.
She was scared.
A canine smile and sharp blue eyes met hers. Not one but two. They were cold and furious.
His face was unmarked, perfect.
She blinked again.
Faster than an eternity.
Two eyes turned into one, boring down on her.
She felt heat.
He'd just landed.
Her heart skipped again.
She blinked.
Faster this time.
A mocking smile met her. It was cold.
She blinked, the image changed again.
She felt heat.
He was landing again.
His gaze only on her and hers on him.
She blinked.
Blood drip drops splashing, blocking her view as is falling on a screen in front of her.
Alex's face flashes in front of her and then the disembodied parts.
"AAAH!"
She wakes with a scream.
Her chest is heaving heavily and she's covered in sweat.
She only hopes she hadn't messed the power to the tower this time.
Every time she's had this dream her powers had activated and something had blown up somewhere.
She regained her breath and steadied herself.
A dream…no, this was a nightmare.
How can she possibly think of 'him', of all people, 'like that'.
The 'heat' was more than just from the fire.
