Moment of Awesome - Callisto: On a raid to rescue kidnapped mutant children, Callisto and Alex Summers show their stuff. Alex had certainly caused a scene. People were coming at them, some with weapons raised, others with energy projecting powers ready to go. Alex smirked and easily took most of them down, save for a couple bigger guys. Meanwhile, someone decided they could take some skinny goth chick in hand-to-hand and was Finding Out. Callisto helped two goons into the soft, dark world of unconsciousness before a collective understanding was reached on this topic, and she now found herself facing off against a mountain of a man whose hands glowed gently under the harsh-but-inadequate strip lighting. "Aw, are you all for me?" she said before springing up to throw her full weight into a punishing blow that would've knocked most people flat. This guy, to his credit, only staggered. Alex was taking a second to recharge while the rest of the enemies collected themselves, and chuckled when he saw Callisto. "Definitely owe her another hot dog," he muttered before springing back into action. A loud curse, a hiss... and the smell of burning cotton and cooking flesh. "You- fucki- Jesus. FuckingChrist!" The words came as semi-intelligible howls of fury and pain as Callisto punctuated her punches with invective. She was behind the big guy, somehow, her legs wrapped around his neck, and he was clawing at them, his now-poker-red fingers searing through her jeans to leave long welts on her flesh. Shallow and brief, they were visibly healing within seconds, but they still seemed to be causing Callisto no small amount of irritation. "Would. You. Just. Fucking. Ahfinallythankfuck." Big Guy's face turned from red to purple, and finally, he toppled over like a felled redwood - backwards onto Callisto. Fucking obviously.
