Re: Helio, Dansen Macabre, Havoc, Cyclops, etc Scotty just can't keep himself out of trouble, can he? Alex didn't bother with the fact that he was at least a little late. He was really just here to help Scott and mend bridges, anyway. That was one way to look at it since X-Factor never seemed to actually be hired for these kinds of things.
A two story fall didn't seem horrible but it also wasn't necessary. Instead of doing anything a person might expect Alex began to blast the ground, under Scott and in random other places nearby. It looked awkward and useless but he was loosening the packed in ground. His brother would be able to fall onto more forgiving terrain and perhaps the more invisible of their foes would leave tracks or slip, something to give away her position.
