"Everybody DOWN!" The transgenic half watched the women they were looking out for and half watched the waking guards and running evil-nurses.
There was a mad dash as Max herded women of many ages as far to the other side of the parking lot as she could. Even before everyone was to safety, she called out, "Are you sure you know what you're doing? I was always good with electronics."
Once all the women were relatively far enough away to not be hurt, Alec held up the last two wires, "Of course I know what I'm doing, Maxie," slammed them together and made a running dash and dive with the five seconds he knew he had.
The resounding explosion almost knocked the building right off of its foundation and sent up billows of flames and smoke much higher than the five-story hospital/hell-dimension. Alec was completely submerged in smoke, and even Max was having a hard time seeing, but sure enough the building didn't fall. Cautiously, Max called out, "Alec?"
Slowly the smoke started to clear and it became obvious that the entrances to the building were all securely blocked off by stray debris. Whoever said it was safest to be in doorways incase of an explosion or earthquake hadn't met the arsine skills of the two X5's.
Alec hauled himself up from where he'd half jumped but mostly been thrown by the blast. Dusting off his jeans and jacket, Alec walked through the smoke to where he could hear Max yelling at him. Emerging to sight he gave an obviously agitated Max his most shit-eating grin, "Whew, now that was an explosion! Told you I was good with bombs."
Max narrowed her eyes, motioning for the mothers to stay back and stalking towards Alec without a word. Once she was only a few inches from the other transgenic, she studied him closely. "Are you hurt?" At a shake of Alec's head she lashed out, landing a hard punch to his arm. "Good."
"Oww," Alec moaned, rubbing his arm and his cocky look immediately melting into one that slightly resembled a confused child. "What was that for?"
Careful that the mothers still couldn't see them perfectly and definitely couldn't hear them, Max hissed, "You could have gotten killed," sighing dramatically she motioned for them to get out of there, "c'mon, Smart-Alec, the cops 'll be here soon. We better jet."
Sticking his tongue out at Max's retreating back, Alec none-the-less followed her, already able to here the emergency bell going off inside of the hospital. Still rubbing his sore arm, Alec prepared himself to keep nearly a hundred women out of sight and out of trouble before they could get out of this town. "Hope your plan is brilliant, Max."
