Ben's electricity stopped almost immediately, and it didn't take long for him to pass out, his own face, seven years older, being the last thing he saw.

Ben smiled when he saw the younger one fall back to sleep. "And it's about to get a whole lot worse."
He switched their clothes and took Bens disguise. The shirt was too tight on him but that was okay. As for his face, well Joan might be able to see the difference if they were right next to each other both looking normal, but that was the beauty of this plan; he would be disguised the whole time. Joan would never be able to tell the difference. Finally, he switched their metal coils. Being newer, young Bens coil was in better condition and would give him a little more flexibility and would probably conduct electricity better than his old, well-used one. Maybe not by much but hey, no reason to pass up the chance to upgrade.
He then carried the unconscious Ben out and had him sent across town and dumped in a store that had closed down. Finally, he went back to Bens room and went to sleep. Joan would wake him up in the morning. He was going to have a great time.

When Ben woke, he was far too comfortable to move. He lazily scratched his arm and hugged himself. He would have been happy to go back to sleep, so he just lay there, with his eyes closed for a while.

The store was silent except for the wind whistling through the glass in the door. A hole ha been cut in it near eye level to unlock the door from the other side.

After a while, Ben realized that he should probably close the window. Then he realized that he was most definitely not on the bed. Had he rolled off and not realized? He opened his eyes, and it took him a second to realize that his 'nightmare' had been real. For some reason, that didn't really worry him. He got up, trying to ignore the churning in his stomach, and went to investigate the noise. He peered through the hole to see where he might be.

He was somewhere in town he hadn't been before. The store he was in was located in a large strip mall, and people were going back and forth between shops, going about their business. There were no obvious signs s to how to get back to the hotel and Joan, but he could still see the forest in the distance.

Ben checked for his cable, patting around his waist and looking around. He saw it on the floor and picked it up, but it felt strange. He ignored it, and wrapped it back up around his waist. That was when he realized he wasn't wearing his clothes. He shuddered, somewhat freaked out that that guy had changed his clothes, even if it was him. He left the shop, not yet realizing that might be a bad idea.

He probably realized it in about thirty seconds when people who saw him began to scream and run in fear.

"No, wait," Ben objected. "I'm not going to hurt anyone..."

Nobody listened to him, of course. Why would they?
After three minutes Joan ran into view, the other Ben following behind her. "We made good time this time." She said in relief upon seeing Ben and no actual destruction. She put up her hand and shot a powerful telekinetic wave at him.

Ben was thrown off his feet. "Joan, stop!" he said, though it wasn't as powerful or as loud as he had hoped, since he'd just had the breath knocked out of him. He struggled to his feet, which was much more difficult since he was still hazy from the morphine.

Joan didn't actually hear him, and if she had she would not have listened anyway. She pulled her gun and fired at his chest.

Ben hadn't been expecting that, he tried to move when he saw Joan start to draw it, but he still took the bullet to his left arm, and shouted in pain. "Joan, you've got it all wrong!"

"Why the hell isn't he moving?" The other Ben asked her as the younger Ben was speaking. "It's like he's not even trying."
"Again." Joan nodded. "No idea, but if I can kill him I will." She used her telekinesis again, starting to lift Ben into the air.

"Joan! You're with the wrong guy!" Ben cried desperately as he fought to get out of her power.
