Author's Note: This is my first Wizards of Waverly Place story and I'll try to do it justice. I'm not sure about pairing's yet.

"I see the sun is beating down, no excuses from the clouds"
He crashed into the sandwich shop, soaked and shivering. The door banged shut as he stumbled across the floor. Barely able to keep himself upright he used the tables to head for the stairs. His bare feet on the floor left muddy footsteps and blood where his feet had been cut.
He reached the stairs and gazed up at the winding staircase and his head swam. He collapsed to the floor. The rain continued to beat harder and harder on the windows and lightening flashed through the sky; it echoed the agony of the wizard on the floor. He tried to pull himself up but didn't have the strength. He just looked at the stairs wanting to go up but couldn't. He tried again and exhausted himself. Finally he gave up crashing to the floor and giving a pitiful sigh passing out on the floor.

The weather outside didn't clear it just rained; Great sheets of rain clouding the view and lights of the city. The roads became rivers and high above the sandwich shop Alex Russo was looking through the window.
She hadn't seen Justin come home and was thinking to herself about how funny it would be when he got in all wet, looking like a drowned rat. She yawned and was tired.
She closed her blinds and sat on her bed. This night had proved to be boring and in exactly two minutes and four seconds she could go and tell her parents that Justin was late from his party. The two minutes seemed very long. She just stared at her alarm clock and then had an idea.
"Time seems to slow." She said to herself and took out her wand and began to think of something to make time go faster but try as she might she couldn't get time to go faster. Now slower she could do. She was very good at making time go slower and used it in the morning but faster. She looked at her alarm clock thirty more seconds to go. She got up and crossed the room and out into the living area where her parents were sitting. They didn't look surprised.
"Yes we know Justin's late." Alex smiled so she wasn't the only person in the house who missed curfew. The door opened again and Max walked in saying "Mum, Dad Justin's late."
"We know kids now don't worry you're brother will be back soon." That was when the power died. The room went pitch black. Alex was slightly scared that had never happened not in the city as far as she could remember.
Jerry stood up and Max took out his wand. "Light." He said and wand lit up, the family turned to Alex who just stood there. "Oh you want me to light my wand, sorry." She said doing the same.
Jerry headed to the counter and got the torch which he gave to Theresa. "We better check the circuit board down stairs." Jerry said and together the family made their way down stairs.
The sandwich shop was deserted as Max shone his light around and it came to rest at the bottom of the stairs at the fallen figure. Alex gave a little cry suddenly feeling very guilty.
"Justin!"
