As Alex was asleep, his emotion-sense suddenly acted up, as it had sensed the killing intent erupting from Olivia. And being interconnected with his other physical senses, particularly the feel-sense, the hairs on his skin stood on their ends and produced intensely painful pricking sensations. Besides, the danger-signaling treasure at the center of his forehead produced a strong burning sensation.
Therefore, due to all these, Alex's eyes abruptly snapped open. And with his hands on the ground by Olivia's sides, he permeated his arms muscles with strengthforce energy. Then he explosively pushed himself into the air using his powered hands. And while in the air, he performed a Tuck, an aerial acrobatic movement as he brought his knees to his chest and wrapped his arms around them.
