Monica Reyes swallowed quickly as Rider paid his full attention back to her, she wasn't armed and both Doggett and Scully had been incapcitated. Now what the hell was she going to do? How could she defend herself against him? Would she even had a chance? From what she had seen, Daniel Rider had some pretty intense powers. The glint in his eye was what made her the most frightened. "You don't have to do this."

Rider smiled at her as the flame in his hands died away, "Sure I do." He clapped his hands together and the heavens opened, rain started pouring down, soaking the ground. Reyes hesitated a glance to her fallen friends then back to Rider. This was one unpredictable kid she was dealing with. "You see," Rider said approaching her. "I ain't got nothing else to offer," he said with a sneer.

Vicar had now controlled his breathing, resting one hand on his knee and taking more deeper breathes he looked up to Rider. He had since knocked down the FBI agent known as Dana Scully and was now focusing his attentions on Reyes. "Monica," Vicar whispered to himself. He could sense the terror coming from Reyes, not only for herself but her two friends: Doggett and Scully. He had never met a more compassionate woman. Rider was circling her, baiting her. Vicar had to stop him. He would not see Monica come to harm.

Reyes watched the young man with interest. She tried to remember what Vicar had called him, "I'm sure you have a lot to offer." She searched her mind and kept drawing up blank. Reyes looked up to him, wincing slightly as she said the words. "David?" She was rewarded with a powerful blow from an unseen hand, causing her head to snap to one side. Grabbing her jaw she turned back to him.

"It's Daniel!" Rider screamed back at her.

"I apologise," Reyes said with a soft tone. "Truly but I couldn't remember your name, I don't know you Daniel but I'm sure you could be a good kid if you tried."

"I don't want to be good, as I said." Rider had that same glint in his eyes. "I ain't got nothing to offer. I'm not a brainiac, I sure as hell ain't good at sports..."

She'd had enough of this. "So you what? Kill people!" Rider walked over to her, seizing her by the arm. "I bring order to chaos, bitch." Reyes glared at him, sizing him up then spat back. "You kiss your mother with that mouth?" Rider pulled back and studied her at arm's length, "Would do if she were still alive."

"So you what?" Reyes asked. "Killed her too?" Rider's look softened, ever so softly and in an instant it was immediately gone and a flash of thunder filled the sky. "No, I didn't." He let go of her arm and took a step back. Reyes began to wonder if she was figuring it all out.

"That's why you prefer older women," Reyes said more quietly. "You want a relationship with them but it isn't romantically." Reyes was now feeling a touch of sarrow for the insane teenager before her. "You want a mother figure." Rider started laughing as the water ran down his face, not even bothering to compose himself as she watched on with an extremely confused look.

"You're so wrong, Agent Reyes." Rider started rubbing his hands together as the grass between her started to sink, he was going to kill her in one of the most horrible ways imaginable. She started struggling. "Wouldn't do that, Agent Reyes. You'll only sink faster." His hands kept the pace at which she sank, it was now up to her ankles. Reyes was out of ideas and remained silent, pissing him off seemed to make it worse. "You wanna know why I do it?" He increased the pace and Reyes felt herself sinking faster and faster til it was up to her waist.

Vicar could not bare to see anymore and rose to his feet, a new surge of power overwhealming him. He would not see Monica or her friends come to any harm, he had sworn it upon himself and he never went back on a promise. "Because you can!" Rider took the mistake of turning round and as Vicar shouted and he hit him with everything he had, knocking Rider down. Remaining where he was, Vicar clapped his own hands together and started rubbing them together in the exact same manner as Rider had. Now it was time for payback. Increasing the pace, Rider sank a lot faster into the mud than Reyes had until he was fully submerged.

Reyes closed her eyes at the sight then opened them again looking over to Vicar, he looked wore and tired. She struggled to free herself from the mud as Vicar collapsed onto the ground from the power drain. "Matthew," she shouted as she clawed away. Dirt getting under her normally well manicured nails.

The power that Rider had on Doggett and Scully faded as he took his last breath from his mortal body and Doggett sat up looking to Scully. "You alright?" Scully was a little dazed and her hair stuck to her face, "I'm fine."

Reyes finally released herself from the mud and jumped to her feet, running over to Vicar and dropping to her knees beside him. "Matthew," she whispered with Doggett and Scully looking on. Scully stopped him by grabbing his arm and shaking her head slowly. Vicar looked up to the vision that was Monica Reyes.

"You are safe Monica?" Reyes felt fresh new tears well up behind her eyes and nodded furiously, "Yes." Vicar gave her a small smile despite the intense pain that was coursing through his body in streams. "Then that is all that matters." With that, Vicar closed his eyes for the last time.
