Your RP character has been sucked into a vortex where he's suddenly looking at a lot of familiar faces. The bad news is that you don't know how you got there, although I'm sure that Spock will be trying to figure that out. The good news is that the drinks are free, and pretty much anything goes (as long as you don't god mod another player's

If there were nine layers of hell, Elle had just discovered the tenth! She staggered backwards, away from the Sylars she had just teleported in near, hoping they hadn't seen her. In her haste, she accidentally backed up too far and tripped over Adam. When she turned to see who she'd bumped into, she quickly held her hands over her mouth to keep from screaming. It was another Sylar!

Usually, with just one Sylar to deal with, she was not phased. But this was a whole room of them! "A-are you going to kill me? If so, just to let you know, I'll go down fighting, Sylar."

Adam just stared. It wasn't every day that random blonde women bumped into him. There was a time when he wished it would happen more often, but he'd long since given up on that and decided that his computer would suffice as companionship.

He'd also long since given up on trying to be polite to random strangers, because then they ended up thinking that he wanted to be friends or something.

"Uh, I have no idea what you're talking about," he said. "I don't know who Sylar is, but my name is Adam and I usually don't kill people."

He was a little pissed off at how she'd stepped on his foot, but murder wasn't usually how he reacted to such incidents.

[canikeephim]

She was just about to pull out a ball of lightning when the subtle differences on this guy began to sink in. First she crossed her arms and tilted her head, studying him. "You see the guys around here that look like a rougher version of you? Those are Sylars." That last word came out as though she were talking about Alien Face-huggers or something.

Although he seemed to be telling the truth, Elle being Elle, she wanted to invade his personal space and take a better look. This could still be a trick. She marched right up to him and put her hands on his cheeks, on his face, and made sure there were no signs of a five o'clock shadow. "Smooth. Good." Next she checked his hair, using static electricity to make it stand on end. Nope, Sylar would never have a haircut like this.

"I guess your story checks out. Adam, I'm Elle. Although the circumstances are frightening, it's nice to meet you." And nice that you aren't about to try to kill me.

[adam_kaufman]

...did she just-
"I..."
Congratulations, Elle. Adam's traumatised now.
Which is probably good for her, because in any other circumstance he would not take kindly to someone messing with his hair. Some part of him that's not busy being traumatised wonders what the deal was with the 'smooth' comment, and if it meant that it would have been really bad for him if he hadn't shaved in a while. Not that he did that, because Adam was kind of particular about this stuff.
But right now, he was speechless and more than a little terrified.

[canikeephim]

Poor thing. He just realized what danger they were in and is in shock, wasn't he? She gave a sympathetic smile and squeezed his shoulder. "Hey, don't worry. I'll protect you." Normally, she'd be shocking him for her amusement, but under the circumstances, she needed all the allies she could get at the moment.

"I've had to deal with Sylar before. He killed my dad and tried to kill me a few times. But there are also Peters here too, so we're not alone against him at least." She also thought she saw Mohinder across the room as well. Now why couldn't there be a room full of the chocolaty geneticists instead? She smirked at that thought before turning to Adam to see how he was doing with the info she just gave him.

[adam_kaufman]

Pff, danger? Adam hadn't even started to attempt to deal with that. He was still trying to get over the excessive touching, because no one - let alone a perky, attractive woman - had done so much as given him a handshake in a very, very long time. Or a hug, for that matter. His sister used to, sometimes. But then she died.

All the same, the word 'kill' managed to make its way past his shock and into his brain, and the implications were not comforting at all. He hadn't given his surroundings that much thought, but now...

"He... he kills people?" Adam asked, almost in a whisper.

[canikeephim]

Man, was this guy out of the loop or what? "Yes, kills as in slices off the tops of people's heads." She pointed at the small scar on her forehead that Sylar had left. "See this? This is from when he tried to do the same thing to me. I stopped him by overloading and shocking the hell out of him though. That bastard. I should have went ahead and fried his nuts off while I was at it. He'd just grow them back though, just as lopsided as ever." She growled and picked up a drink to gulp it down and then handed him one. He'd need it.

[adam_kaufman]

....

Adam usually didn't drink, but yeah, he needed it now. Just the head-slicing thing would have been enough to do that, but then Elle had to add in something about overloading and shocking, and then nut-frying, which felt... a bit too close to home...

He took a large gulp of the drink and wondered if it might be safer after all to get away.

[canikeephim]

The poor guy looked like he just saw a ghost or something. "Hey, they're like sharks. We can't show fear. Here, have a seat. If you faint, you'll embarrass both of us." After helping him sit down, she sat beside him. "Hey, like I said, I'll protect you. You don't have any special powers, do you?" She grabbed another drink. These seemed to be helping. Being as little as she was, she could already feel the drinks taking affect.

[adam_kaufman]

Telling Adam not to show fear was enough to make him even more terrified. Sitting down helped, though. It was harder to faint when he was sitting. He was a little resentful at being offered protection from some tiny person, but if the nut-frying comments were anything to go by, she'd probably be able to do more damage than he could. Not that he would ever admit it. Or admit that he was terrified, though he wasn't good at hiding it at all.

As for 'special powers', Adam had the feeling that his awesome computer skills weren't what Elle was asking about. Who were these people?

"Uh, no," he said. "What... kind of powers are you talking about?"

[canikeephim]

Hadn't this guy ever read a comic book at least? She sighed and took his hand, holding it up next to hers, and then caused tiny sparks that went between their fingers that would do no more than tickle. "My power is electricity manipulation. That is a very low voltage of what I can do. I can't even remember all of Sylar's powers and he probably has more by now. So yeah, just your basic X-Men like powers. Except we don't wear ridiculous costumes." Well, that was if you didn't count Mohinder's season 1 scarf.

[adam_kaufman]

Adam let out a yelp and yanked his hand away as though it had been burned, looking at Elle in terror.

He used to read comics. Long ago. At one point he totally wanted to be one of the X-Men. But now he was old and cynical and things that happened in comics weren't supposed to happen in real life, and this was just freaking him out.

[canikeephim]

Seriously? "That didn't hurt. Stop being a baby. You have to look strong!" This dude was not going to get them killed. Not today. She huffed and leaned forward, taking her hands and trying to make him sit up straight. "Now poke out your broad chest. If you're an exact copy, I know you have the bat signal under there. Puff that out like a lion." She tried to force him to with her hands. "You've got to look dangerous. Show me your most intimidating face." Poor Adam.

[adam_kaufman]

It wasn't that it hurt, it was that it was weird and freaky and unexpected, and Adam was a little pissed off that she thought he was being a baby. But before he could say anything, Elle was suddenly engaging in more inappropriate touching. He flinched beneath her hands and was about to tell her to stop physically harassing him; when she had to mention the bat signal. He'd shaved most of it off, because it was embarrassing, but... just how much did this woman know about his body?

It seriously disturbed him.

He batted her hands aside. "Stop that," he hissed.

[canikeephim]

Her efforts seemed to be wasted, and so she gave up, crossing her arms in frustration. This was like trying to make a poodle look intimidating. "I'm just trying to help. If you get us killed, I'm going to be so pissed off at you. Do you understand how much this hurt?" She pointed to the scar again. "You don't want to find out, trust me."

She grabbed another drink and glanced around the room as she swished it around in her mouth. So far, so good. "It looks like we're safe for the moment though." Still, she made sure to sit up straight and tried her best to look threatening, which wasn't working at all. "So, what do you do?" Maybe he had some special skills that would come in handy.

[adam_kaufman]

Adam only gets intimidating when people threaten to touch his computer or otherwise damage it. And even in those cases, he's not so much intimidating as very, very pissed off and prone to acts of violence like hacking into the system and fiercely revoking all their Internet privileges.

"Why would I want to get us killed?" he demanded. "I want to get out of this place, okay?" Preferably alive, too.

"I work at the CTU," he said in response to her question. "The Counter Terrorist Unit. I'm a tech analyst."

Speaking of which, he misses his computer.
