She seemed nice. A decent human being, concerned for the welfare of others, all that jazz. [font color="a2a2a2"]"Oh, I'm fine. That's why elevators have emergency stop buttons - so if someone jumps on top of them at high speed you can still get out. Or... something. Anyway. There were two other people, they were fine until Little Miss "Putting the cute in electrocute" zapped one of them, but the other guy is probably taking her to the hospital. I don't think they want to socialize. Can't really blame them."[/font] Chromewrecker stood up, and right on cue, there was the zappy one, hand outstretched and mouth full of accusations. Chromewrecker gave Tazer another looking over and a regretful sigh. [font color="a2a2a2"]"Great outfit though."[/font]

And now she was being questioned by Cosplay Boy. At least he'd bothered to introduce himself. Chromewrecker commented a quiet: [font color="a2a2a2"]"Oh, is that how you pronounce that?"[/font], mostly to herself. She couldn't quite remember who Quetzalcoatl was supposed to be - probably the Ancient Aztec God Of Consonants or something like that. Ancient Mayan? She could never keep those two straight. Maybe if she hadn't dropped out of college for an asshole, she would have gotten to take comparative ancient religions at some point.

Oh, and he was giving her a look. Right, there was that whole business. [font color="a2a2a2"]"Really, the plane was bringing us all down. Do you know how terrible private jet travel is for the environment and the economy? It's an affectation of the super-wealthy meant to show the common people they're beneath. If you want to help where you can, you should lobby for stricter taxation laws on the upper echelon and require harsher emissions laws for private jet travel. Write your congressperson! Congress...deity? Change needs to happen, and the world isn't going to be changed by people standing around. Want to get involved? I'd love to have some help."[/font]

[font color="#00FFFF"]"Okay firstly that fall was soft shudup. Secondly helmeted dude is told to let go, the obvious free fall lady points a gun at you. It's not like either seemed her best friend. And thirdsly...no thirdly thank you. Real do try for a striking image."[/font] Ellie remarked arriving more on the scene in full and seeing the situation. Wait was that Quetzacoatl, good to know there was back up. [font color="#00FFFF"]"Actually and ya know what fourthidly..fourthly I'm streaming the whole thing. Not the best first livestrem but the evidence won't lie."[/font]

Her quick mind, or jumbled one depending on point of view did catch up though. Evidence was a good point of issue. The cable of the elevator was seen dissolving but it wasn't clear how that happened. There was a hole in the elevator, that was squished now hard to use for evidence. Ellie realized if they were going to prove Ms Silver caused the plane crash they needed to see an ability in action. Ellie had armor and her phone streaming maybe someone would want to dissolve that? Cutting the stream like that eould suck but proff was important. She had to move, so Ellie moves forward.

A hovering lady of Sparking currents then dropped to the floor. Her footing started out good, then a stumble hand catching the fall. She tried to make it look like a three point landing, dramatic and smooth. The soft [font color="#00FFFF"]"ow."[/font] And the twisted position of her ankle made it clear she wasn't as smooth as she wanted. The elevator had broken her ankle and for some reason now she couldn't fly.

No it was more then that, she was dizzy? Tired? Hungry? Thirsty? All of the above?

And while she seemed in a awful way she also seemed likely to the rest glowing. It was like all the electricity in her was trying to escape her. Eyes like light bulbs, strobe lights for where cuts had been. There was a sort of feedback loop going on around her. Because her powers were tethered to how her body worked, it was natural to her but to a certain Null ability of course this wasn't the norm. A force tried to pull the electricity from Ellie while her entire being tried to pull it back in.

She felt sick, this wasn't right. And maybe she would have been fine if not banged up, but catching falling people had sort of denied her the option. [font color="#00FFFF"]"Ooookay not sure what that was, is. But if a plane killer wants to prevent me from chasing her, from trying to outrun lightning, then she knows what to do. Now excuse me while I go electroCUTE myself."[/font] It was a gamble trying to goad the terrorist, but Ellie needed some play she'd thought. She wasn't here to talk how rich people sucked, but save lives and help stop villains. And maybe she'd be currently low on battery but if it proved who the threat was maybe it would be worth it.

A less then stoic hobble looked to limp towards a electrical box along a wall in the lobby.

“Someone fell onto the roof of your elevator?” Eli felt the color drain from her face. The woman was talking so casually about it like she was answering some questions about the weather and not about being in an elevator that had just crashed into the ground. ‘Well you see today it’s going to be cloudy with a chance of airplane’ or something like that. The rest of what the woman had to say seemed to be directed at Quetzalcoatl (which she couldn’t help but feel a little relieved that she didn’t have to awkwardly ask for his name later) but it made her bristle all the same. That cold disregard in her voice wasn’t so much something that she understood as it was something she could feel prickling the hairs along the back of her neck. Eli lingered in place, not quite wanting to close the distance or to make a quick retreat.

“And what about the people who almost had the contents of the plane fall of their heads?” Eli said. The rich people, they were… probably didn’t deserve to fall out of the sky, but that old man she had pulled into the coffee shop definitely didn’t marit having them land on him. The lightning lady cut in, claiming to have evidence of whatever it was the other woman had done before her levitating act seemed to come to an end. Her ankle was not something anyone should be walking on. Was she trying to goad the other woman into a fight? There were people just outside the building weren’t there?

“Stop! You can’t walk on that! You need to get it set before you do more damage to your foot!” Eli said quickly, the other woman soon forgotten for a far more pressing concern.

What were they going to show, a cable snapping, a hole? Sure, some things had happened, but there wasn't any proof that Chromewrecker had been responsible. It wasn't like shooting someone, where you could analyze the gun and the bullets or whatever it was they did - her knowledge of the subject was largely from watching legal dramas on daytime television, and she had always been more interested in the drama than the legal.

And now she was going off to electrocute herself. Chromewrecker hadn't missed the emphasis. [font color="a2a2a2"]"You're just jealous because I thought of that one first."[/font] That much was obvious. Of course, so was the woman's weird limp, and given the whole situation between them right now, it wasn't like Chromewrecker really wanted to go over there and offer her a hand. It seemed like the sensible young woman who'd been by the elevator had a plan for that, though. [font color="a2a2a2"]"Maybe see if you can get her to a doctor?"[/font] Chromewrecker suggested, [font color="a2a2a2"]"I mean, I think she means well. And she's dressed well - you too, by the way - um. Anyway. I'm gonna head home as well, it's been a long day already. Stay safe, you guys!"[/font]

It wasn't like she wanted any of them getting hurt, after all. Not on purpose, anyway. Sometimes accidents just happened. For now... well, for now it seemed to have worked out pretty well for a debut, all things considered. Not bad! Now she'd just have to see if she could hail a taxi, get cleaned up for work...

...and start planning her next event.

[font color="#00FFFF"]"Maybe a little."[/font] ElectroCUTE had been a good line she thought. And she didn't mind admitting it. Her leg hurt and she felt remarkably underhanded. She had to think this through.

There was a stumble a hand catching a counter to help keep her up. Eyes looked to the woman who spoke. They were more flickering like strobe lights then their usual self. [font color="#00FFFF"]"I'll actually feel better once I stick a fork in the socket. Uh eye witness probably gone. No direct links or footage for us to use. I'll check security footage in a second. Maybe one of you can try and follow her?"[/font] Ellie remarked. The connections to actually take action were kind of minimal. Right now it wasn't like heroism had any real means to force someone to stay. Nothing was stopping the others from walking out however and following the silver woman.

Again the others though, her ankle was bending a way if wasn't meant to go. This hadn't been the heroic outing she wanted when it came to stopping criminals. She couldn't stop any later today though or help others in her current condition. So the limp carried her over to a power box. Electricity helped her unscrew what she needed to to gain access to the wires. [font color="#00FFFF"]"Note to self add some tools to utility belt. Help do this without trying to have sticky fingers"[/font] electrical fields being used to move metals wasn't off the table but it took more concentration. Ellie was more just zappy about things.

She looked for the least useful plug and removed it. A needless system on the floor somewhere shutdown and then the electric hero stuck her finger in the socket. [font color="#00FFFF"]"Knife to, fork maybe. Really get in there to help with.."[/font]

The lights on the current floor and two others flickered off and on for a second. Some of the exhaustion and sickly feeling rolled away as the power of the building flowed into her. A snap echoes in the halo as a stretch turns from holding her foot to breaking it back into place. She would need more electricity to fly or heal. Least she felt like she could walk on the leg now however.

So it was time for the next step. Heading to the security room, or managers room. Get whatever footage she could to help build a case. Ellie figured the roof wouldn't have any. Neither would the elevator shaft, however Ellie had footage of the elevator cable disappearance. The hall with a hole in it would likely have an angle looking down the hall. Turns out the aimed center of random spot incase of hole, wasn't a popular angle. However it wasn't like there had been a bunch of smoke or debris from the hole. So camera would likely catch the hand as it dropped from where a wall had been. Would capture who came through the hole. Leads to help establish how something was done. Perhaps cameras looking outside could help follow the woman.

And well if any of the other heroes did follow, it wasn't going to be hard to find Ellie. She'd been plenty vocal of her platform. And ways to reach her.
