Allayne watched in amazement as his assailant turned ghost-like and started running closer to him. Another ability added to her arsenal, Adrienne seemed to be truly a force to be reckoned with. This woman had bloodlust in her eyes, like a feral beast on the prowl.
Sucks not to be in full control of your abilities, doesn't it?, Adrienne mocked Allayne, clearly seeing his defenses as signs of weakness. Flashing a sadistic smirk, she said "Let me show you how it is done"
Before Allayne could react, a shimmering wall appeared and threw Allayne into another wall with force. Although his barrier held, it was only a wispy veil compared to earlier. The force of the impact caused the constructs to dissipate as well, leaving Allayne with the blade hilts.
"Is this what your group is; this Brotherhood?, Axe asked her, getting up quickly to try and counter future blows. "Killing other mutants? Shit, aren't we endangered already?, he said, buying time while gathering light particles together.
Dere's all types o' ways to finish de fight, he could here Remy in his ear. An' some o' those ways, dey be darker den others, frere! Allayne's mind raced quickly to find something that would get him out of this situation with his life intact.
A bright flash! And after, Allayne was twenty feet further back and just standing still.
With an emotionless expression, he said in a cold hollow voice, "You realize that your heart beats quicker when you are excited? When your heart beats, it creates small sound waves throughout your body. I can feel those vibes."
Not moving at all, Allayne just stood there, looking vulnerable.
"This isn't my fight anymore. Everyone here is either dead or has gone to safer ground. I'm done."
Allayne's voice grew louder and very serious. "But I'll see you around, miss. Be sure of that. I'll come into my powers real soon, and we'll finish this dance."
And with that promise to Adrienne, Allayne just broke apart and was gone.

From the dumpster a little ways away, the real Axe got up and took off towards Times Square. It took a LOT of concentrating, but now I know I can make holograms AND direct my voice!, he thought victorious! And it wasn't a cheesy 'Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi' type either. It looked very solid, and Allayne knew he could use that in the future.
As he settled off towards the hotel, he wondered is Kas and his woman were ok. As he made his way towards the Square, he wondered what other surprises NYC had in store.
