Chapter 48: Magnetic

Tadashi was falling. There was the disconcerting feel of having nothing beneath him and gravity pulling him down before a force grabbed him mid-air. He opened his eyes and saw a familiar metal suit. He was in Electrick’s arms.

Glowing purple eyes glared into him. “I’m going to f*cking kill you!”

“Hey, Eli,” he replied, glibly. “It’s nice to see you back in your suit.”

Tadashi wrapped an arm around Eli’s neck for better support. “What were you thinking?”

“Didn’t you get my voicemail?”

“I did!” Eli flew them unto the rooftop of an apartment building. He dropped Tadashi like a sack of potatoes. “You almost gave me a heart attack. I thought you were dead!”

Tadashi sat up, gingerly. “As you can see, I am perfectly fine.”

Eli’s suit retreated back into his watch. He was scowling. “That is up for debate. There is something seriously wrong with you.”

“That’s why I had to jump. I needed to trigger my powers.”
