Marvel: Geokinesis

"You okay, Jean? You got a little hurt back there, don't want ya dying on me or anything, know what I mean?"

Adam said, looking deep into Jean's eyes, while offering a gentle smirk.

"What happened...?"

Jean asked, rubbing against her aching stomach.

"Well, you got hurt a bit, nothing too serious, I think. But you should be okay now. As for me, I have a rogue mutant to deal with."

Adam responded before jumping off the edge of the building.

Jean hurriedly rushed over to the edge, shocked by Adam's rash movement, only to see Adam levitating on a platform slowly floating down to the ground below.

"Sorry to keep ya waiting, wouldn't want our little princess there to get in the way. Now we can go all out, I'll finally be able to test out how far I've come."

Adam said with a smirk, cockily invoking the man to come forth with a gesture of his hand.

"Damm brat! I'll teach you the fate of those who choose to mess with Fire Fist Chase."

'What an oddly familiar name, where have I heard that one before?'

The man's fiery hands grew even wilder than before, like a blazing fury representing his anger. They even took on a slight light blue hue, explaining the sudden increase in temperature in the alley.

'Woah, that's hot. But why do I feel so excited, like I can't wait to fight him? Is it the Chunibyo in me?'

[Well, that and I may have done something... like slightly change your personality.]

'What! Then, is that why I act so free-spirited, like I'm some fantastical hero in a video game?'

[Woah, calm down there dude. Don't blame me because you're weird, if anything, I made you a slight bit cooler, which doesn't mean much since you're so odd.]

'Tch! Am I really that weird?'

[Yes, you are, but you might wanna lock in now.]

Fire fist chase was inches away from striking Adam's face, but before he could land the strike, a pillar of stone crashed into his gut and lifted him into the sky. With one powerful punch to the pillar, he melted it away with his flames.

"Is that all you got, brat?!"

He shouted, dashing forward.

Witnessing this approaching threat, Adam summoned forth three stone lances from thin air. He released them like powerful drills moving at the speed of a bullet fired from an automatic gun.

The man raised his arms using his flaming fist as defense; the sheer heat they emitted caused the stone lances to melt into a gushy magma-like substance.

'Well, this won't be as easy as I thought, time to get a bit more serious.'

Adam stomped the ground, and it rumbled like a miniature earthquake, which knocked Chase off balance, and he rushed towards him with a stone spear in hand, attempting to thrust it into Chase's gut, but before he could land the attack, it was caught.

Chase used the lance to pull himself up before it began melting away, "Now I got you brat!"

Chase then released a powerful punch towards Adam's face, giving him no time to retreat, and the heat emitted by the flames was too much for him to block with his stone.

'Ahh! I knew this power was going to be useless. I'm sooo about to die, and when I do, you're going to give me another chance, Leo!'

[Well then, why not try something other than just stone? You have Earth Manipulation, remember? Don't complain to me because you're uncreative, the complete opposite of me.]

'Wha—well, I didn't think about that. I didn't even know I could, then again I did shape that diamond before, though I haven't been able to change the variety of earth I generate. I don't even know how...'

[Just focus on something other than stone, think about it, Earth is made up of a lot more than just stone.]

Adam closed his eyes, focusing; he didn't want it to end like this, and was determined to change his fate. 'A material that'd be perfect for this would be... I got it, tungsten.'

A thick, silvery white wall protruded from the ground between Adam and Chase's first. His flaming hand repelled from the metal without leaving a scratch. Causing more harm to himself than the wall.

Adam then created spikes that extended from the wall and attacked Chase. He was almost able to react in time, but his leg was pierced by a spike, forcing him to drop to a knee.

"Haha! I did it! First try..."

[You're definitely a bit weird.]

Chase used his flaming palm to cauterize his wound before standing in defiance towards Adam. His face was filled with anger, and from the look of it, he'd been taken over by the madness brought by his anger.

His blazing fist became even hotter than before, and the fire turned completely blue; the radiating heat that it emitted could surprisingly reach Adam from the distance he was standing.

"Nice, I get to test out this ability a little more."

Adam joked, emitting an aura of cockiness and confidance.

Adam then created a tungsten warhammer before charging towards Chase, as he had done towards Adam. When he got in distance, Adam knocked Chase off balance with his geokinesis before attempting to slam his hammer into Chase's abdomen.

But before the attack could land, Chase blocked it with both of his flaming blue palms, and the heat of his fire began melting the tungsten, "Whahaah!" He laughed, releasing an aura of his bloodlust.

When the hammer was fully melted through, Chase's fire disappeared, revealing his hands completely gone, burned away by the intensity of his fire.

"There's no way that just happened, dude!"

Adam laughed, watching as the confused Fire Fist Chase looked hopelessly at his missing hands.

[Wow, what a pathetic power that is. Good thing you didn't get that right?]

'I mean, I guess, but I'm still not sure about my power yet, I need to explore more.'

Adam then proceeded to knock Chase unconscious with a stone bullet sent flying towards his thick skull before chaining him to a nearby wall.

After Adam floated back atop the roof, where the recovering Jean was watching the fight down below.

"Did you see that, Jean? Huh, huh!"

Adam asked like an excited little kid looking to be praised.

"How are you so strong?"

The confused and shocked Jean asked, with a sad look.

"Why does that seem to make you sad? Personally, I thought it was pretty cool."

Adam responded with a joyful expression.

"Yeah, but I can barely even control my powers now—" Jean said before being interrupted by Adam, "—Oh, so you're jealous. But fear not, I have a feeling that you'll be invincible one day or maybe just a really strong mutant."

Jean then slapped Adam in the face a shouted, "I hate you, ya know that, how could you be making fun of me when I'm opening up to you, jerk!"

"Uhh, sorry, but seriously, I wasn't joking. I know that in due time, you'll be strong. I'm sure of it, even stronger than me."

Adam said to ease Jean's emotional state.

Jean gave a shocked expression before hugging Adam in an embrace, tears leaking from her eyes.

"Let's go home, it's starting to get late out."

Adam said, hugging her back, before creating a platform of stone that the two flew back on.
