Noah mentally grimaced in annoyance at the masked man who had just shot him in the chest. Thankfully, Snare-oh (The mummy) wasn't particularly affected by bullets. It still hurt, but he's not going to die anytime soon.

I take an intimidating step forward.

The criminal looked on, His terrified face hidden behind his mask. "You probably shouldn't have done that." Noah said, His voice deep and low.

He grabbed the man in the ski mask, wrapping his entire hand around him and slamming him into the alley wall.

One of the Noah's bandages quickly reached out and disarmed the man, tossing the pistol to the side nonchalantly. 'The look on that guy's face was great!'

Noah had found this guy robbing a convenience store nearby while patrolling, then had cornered him in this very alley. Noah hummed to himself as he wrapped the criminal in bandages, separating them from his body and then pulled out his phone, unlocking it and pushing a button, before putting it away. A nice bonus to having greymatter and jury rigg together was being able to do things like program and app on his phone that would anonymously and untraceably report a crime, leaving him with a clean getaway.

Noah reached his hand up before stretching it out and grabbing onto the top of a fire escape, and pulling himself away with ease. He started across the rooftops, ignoring the cursing, tied up man below him.

In the four days since the attack at the school, He'd started to patrol seriously, taking out criminals and once, a meta human with the power to control light, who'd accidently blinded a bunch of people. It had only lasted a few minutes (according to the news report after). his mom had come home on the second day, exhausted, falling asleep and upon waking up, returning to the hospital the next morning. Honestly, it's really starting to worry Noah, but she shuts him down every time he tries to convince her to take a break.

Noah continued across the rooftops, looking for somewhere to change, thinking about what his mom might be doing now. 'Probably on her way home, actually,' He thought, looking up into the starless night. 'I should probably speed things up so she doesn't get suspicious-'

WHAM!

Noah felt something massive slam into him, knocking him off of the rooftop and into the streets below. Thankfully, being the mummy had a number of advantages, one of them being not getting the wind knocked out of you.

That, of course, didn't change the fact that there was a purple, bald, eight-foot-tall, two thousand pound overweight man pinning him to the ground, groaning in his face.

At first, Noah just sat there, pinned, in shock and terror, before remembering that he's a super powered alien. He started unraveling his body and slipping from under the purple giant, disgusted. He moves twenty or thirty feet away before putting himself back together.

"What the hell-?" He says, before the purple mammoth slowly clambered to its feet, a confused look on its face, which quickly shifted to rage.

Surprisingly enough, the purple man stood where it was, and didn't come any closer. And then someone stepped out from behind the behemoth, barely coming up to its waist.

It was what appeared to be a college-age man, with growing smirk on his face, wearing an expensive looking jacket- scratch that, His whole outfit looks expensive as. In fact, Noah was pretty sure he saw price tags still on a number of clothing items. 'Oh, I wonder where he got them. Goodwill maybe?' Noah thought sarcastically.

The man started talking, his voice full of confidence. "You know, I wasn't really sure what to expect when I came looking for you. Honestly, I thought it would take longer too. I guess I just got lucky-. "

Noah cuts him off, already sick of the small talk. "You've been looking for me? Why?" He said, getting defensive.

The man looks to right, at the monster. "Yeah. I have. My name's Mindshaker, if you want to live to remember it, then you better give me what I want. "

Noah snorted internally. 'He's going to take that road? Seriously?' Noah decides to choose his next words carefully, despite that.

"Oh? And what is it that you want?" he asked, despite not really caring.

'Mindshaker' smiled wider, showing off a chipped tooth. "The Omnitrix."

For a second, Noah's metaphorical heart stopped beating. His eyes widened.

The dickhead's smirk continued to grow. "Seriously? Why do you look so surprised? It's not like you're the only person in the world who's ever watched ben 10."

He paused for a second. "You probably should've seen one this coming. Not just that, but playing hero when you have power like that? It's kind of pathetic." He looks at Noah in mock disgust. "But seriously, I don't have all day. Give me the omnitrix, and you get to walk away. Don't, and my 'friend' here-"

He gestures to the purple monster, which stood quietly next to him. "-Is going to tear it off of you."

Noah decides to see if he can pry anything more out of him before what comes next. "What exactly do you plan to do with it? Whatever ability you have can't possibly be any worse than the omnitrix?"

"Are you kidding me? The omnitrix has over a million super-powered aliens it can turn you into, one of which is basically a god."

He continues, not noticing Noah's stalling. "And while mind control is pretty cool, It's no omnitrix. As for my plans for it? I'm not really sure yet. Maybe I'll use it for world domination!" He laughed at that. "But no, seriously, stop stalling and give me it. Now."

'Crap. I guess he did notice.'

"One last question?"

Mindshaker sighed, annoyed.

"No. Bulk, kill him." The Monster roared , Before barreling at me!

"Shit!"
