Well. This was going about as well as a head-on collision with a train, wasn't it? They hadn't even gotten a chance to speak with Alice and already the wind was roaring so loudly that Noah half-feared he might go deaf. He felt Angela squeeze his hand and heard her words to Bennet. However, his gaze was trained on the vague, slight outline of the quickly retreating teen.
He knew he had to time this right. He couldn't afford to make a mistake. Too far away and he'd only get a bit of her ability but too close and it would double back on him and probably knock him unconscious, if this sudden windstorm was even a glimpse of what she was truly capable of doing.
So when he thought she was far enough that he could stop her ability without harming himself too much, Noah glanced briefly at Angela and Bennet and offered a small, determined semi-smirk. Then he released her hand, stepped away from both of them, and focused everything he had within him on Alice.
Several things happened at once. The wind stopped. The debris all crashed back down around them. Alice froze in her tracks and spun toward them with a horrified expression on her face. And Noah...
Well Noah was knocked backwards and over, nothing but a car parked along the side of the street keeping him from going right out into traffic.
He held onto her ability, though, despite the pain that shot up his spine and the agony that burst from behind his eyes as what felt like a literal storm began to rage within him. He slid to the ground, knees bent and hands fisted at his side, as he tried to get control over the backlash that was assaulting him. Thunder boomed overhead, a random bolt of lightning struck a nearby tree, and then everything went completely still.
Noah slowly climbed back to his feet, the echo from Alice's ability having dissipated and the pain from his fall having eased to little more than a dull throb. His head still ached fiercely but it was an acceptable side effect if it meant keeping Alice from destroying the city in a fit of panic.
"I think we have her attention now," he finally said, voice tinged with a dark sort of humor as he looked back to the two adults present.
