[With that fiery disposition, he believes her when she says she'd of incinerated that monster before it could do what it did to the both of them. He closes his eyes for a minute, the terrible image of the tendril wrapped around her neck dancing behind his eyes, the rage that filled him at the sight now surprising him. Why had he acted like that?

Ajax's hand comes up to gingerly touch his chest, but the searing pain is gone, and the only thing that's left is the pain all over his body from the entire encounter. Just what was that?]

You're right, I had no idea I was capable of such a feat. I don't even know where that power came from...

[Shifting, he coughs hard a few times, the instant pain from a broken rib or two reminding him that he needs to see a doctor. Ajax's eyes open once more, to lock them with her own, his expression dead serious.]

Listen, do you think you could do me a favor? You're in better shape than I am, and believe me when I say that I don't ask this lightly. You're in danger once it gets out that you've got some sort of power that no one can explain. And I'm willing to bet all those security cameras inside of the station caught it all. I need you to get the recording from it, in fact, it might be best to go back tonight before your entire precinct learns what happened...

[Ajax groans, trying to shift himself into a better sitting position, but everything hurts.]

If you don't, there's a chance that you'll end up somewhere even worse than being killed by whatever that thing was, trust me.
