Joan didn't hear him. Or maybe she did, but didn't believe him. Either way, she didn't even flinch. Ben was level with the rooftop now and getting higher.

Ben didn't think he'd survive the fall she was aiming to throw at him, he remembered the older him grabbing on to the roof and tried to grab it, but it was too far to get with his hands. He quickly pulled out his cable and wrapped it around a pipe attached near the roof, wrapping the other end around his hand.

Joan scowled and tried to throw him down anyway once the cable was fully stretched. The fall would be damaging, but it would not kill. "I don't know why I keep letting him do that." SHe scowled, annoyed. Yeah, me neither. thought the older Ben with a smirk. He lashed out with his cable, not really hoping to actually catch Ben but wanting to look like he was trying. He wanted Joan to kill the boy, not him.

Ben didn't let go of the cable, and it remained wrapped around the pipe, but he gasped in pain as his arm caught all of the force behind the telekinesis as well as his weight. He reached up with his shot arm to hold the cable as well.

"Oh look, a pinata." Joan said. She raised her gun and fired at Ben.

Ben let go , falling to the ground and crouching so as to better take the impact. He caught his balance with his hands, a horrible mistake as he winced. His cable still hung from the roof.

Joan immediately raised her other hand to blast him back into the building, to send him through wood and plaster and broken glass.

Ben didn't want to leave his cable or he would have run, he jumped up to try to grab it, his fingers enclosing around it.

He got the cable but was still blasted backwards, the pipe the cord had been caught on bending and breaking as the cord slipped off it. He flew straight through the glass door and then through the wood and plaster back wall, landing up against a sturdy support beam.

Ben barely managed to keep his eyes open as he slumped to the ground. The pain was intense enough that if it weren't for the lingering effects of the morphine, it would have knocked him unconscious. The only reason he fought it was because if his friend were going to kill him, he at least wanted to stare down his enemy the entire time. He tried to blink away tears as he realized he was never getting back to Isobel. He would simply disappear, never to return. What would she think?

Joan slowly advanced on him. "It's over." She said with a sigh. "It's... finally over." She pulled out her gun and aimed at his head. "My old friend... if you're still in there somewhere, I'm sorry I couldn't save you." The the hammer pulled back as she pulled the trigger, about to fire. When the gun fired, there was a cry of pain. But it wasn't Bens. A woman in a long black trenchcoat - Xanders trenchcoat - appeared out of nowhere. The bullet hit her bulletproof coat and she cried out in pain from the impact to her stomach. Her hair was brown and what little they could see of her skin suggested south american or spanish descent. They couldn't see her face... she was wearing a bright white mask with black circles for eyes and a painted on smile just a bit too wide. She crouched down and picked up Ben ever so gently. "What the fuck! Who is she!" Joan was shocked and fired several times, but they all hit the coat. "He has an accomplice?" The girl looked back at older Ben and Joan before running away, so quickly it felt like flying.

Ben sighed. He didn't even care that technically he was being carried away by his alternate's helper. The other Ben was just another version of him. She shouldn't realize too easily... He almost dropped the cable at the pain of being moved, but he managed to hold on, and tuck it between the two of them before he passed out.

When he came too, nearly all his injuries were almost entirely gone. he still had a few cuts, but they were barely worse than ones he could have gotten by accident. The girl still hadn't taken off her creepy mask. "Oh good, you're awake." She said quietly when she saw him open his eyes. "Stay still, Master, I am almost done."

"Almost done?" Ben inquired, but stayed still.

"Yes, you were out for most of it." She put her hand over one of the scratches left o his body and instantly it healed as if by magic. She went over to each scratch remaining and made it disappear, the last of the pain subsiding. "There. All better now." She said. "But.... Master, why didn't you escape and call me? If I hadn't been nearby delivering cakes to the supermarket today, you could have did..."
