He wasn't exactly sure why she'd decided to talk to him like this was the time for a friendly chat but it sort of took him off guard. Red and Blue is overdone, that's why I went with black and blue. He said, not sure how he ought to be dividing his attention between her, the monster, and what she was wearing. Right now, monster and sleep wear were winning, which meant she was getting far more candid responses than normal. For one, he was forgetting to do the Voice. That word was capitalized for a reason too. It was no surprise that a man who could alter physics could alter the way his vocal cords moved. He did it to disguise his voice, and to sound older. Most people assumed he was in his early thirties when he was till easily stuck in his mid twenties. Being tall and having a fairly concealing costume didn't hurt for confusing his age either. If you must know... yes, it gets kind of aggravating at times. Would you like me to take a break from it right now though? He asked as the monster flung itself from balcony to balcony to get to them. Being invincible is a chore when you aren't really. He had weaknesses, plenty of them. Not the least of which was the fact that he still had to get the wind up behind any motion that he was going to enhance. Jumping 3 lanes of traffic still took a hell of a running start and a good solid leap before he boosted the reaction between his foot and the ground and sent himself soaring. Then there was the fact that he could only 'see' physics in about a 30 foot radius, and forget lead, you could nail a bunch of two by fours together and get a wall he couldn't see through. Fire a shot at him from further than that and he damn well better be looking at the gun and ready to bend the bullet around him or he'd get shot like anyone else. All at once he realized that they were still in the way of the rock creature and he shot a look back at the door to her apartment. Closed, and not enough time to open it. Sorry about this. He said to her before sweeping her off her feet and then threw her straight up. Needless to say he borrowed some extra energy to do it, so she was soaring about 20 feet into the air. That would be enough time. The creature lunged at him at right about that moment and he jumped towards it in turn. This ought to be high enough and the thing's trail of destruction had left a street empty of innocent bystanders. He kicked the thing hard in the head, boosting the reaction between his foot and it's skull to send himself back against the wall of the building and it soaring down into the street below. Naturally targeting it to the empty spot was child's play and it hit hard enough to embed itself into the concrete. Mercifully, the thing stayed down. Dead or unconscious he wasn't sure. But that was something for someone else to sort out. He sprung lightly back onto the balcony and caught the woman he'd just tossed into the air before she landed, setting her back down. Something about his stance suggested that that had taken a bit more out of him than he'd probably like to admit. That much force had to go somewhere and he could ensure with perfect accuracy that it wouldn't be his muscles and bones. Well... you're safe now. Next time you need someone to insult again I'm always here. He said jokingly.
