Another threat

Understanding that it wasn't time to hold back and that he could rein himself in later, Alexander simple let loose.

He started by cracking his neck while speaking in a loose sloppy manner "Ya started quite the bullshit fight for yourself, ya know~! Heheheh~"

Not only did he stop trying to control his emotions and actions but he even allowed his pride and arrogance to show themselves, especially as Sinister returned to his usual size.

In response Alexander's eyes began bleeding with the goal of turning a part of Sinisters strength and speed into illusion while using illusions to make him weak in the knees.

As Sinister stumbled and caught himself using his hands, just before his knees hit the ground, he heard a voice seemingly oozing venom despite the "affectionate" words "Old man ya really should go rest~!" 

That was followed by Alexander making himself stronger and kneeing Mister Sinister in the face as strongly as he could.

Sure it dealt more damage to him then it did to Sinister and due to Sinister healing immediately it was even more useless but the current Alexander didn't care.

He simply grinned, fully showing his teeth to the enemy of his that was recovering from the shock of the situation.

Sinister could obviously tell that something didn't add up, he couldn't have stumbled for no reason, such things were simply beneath him.

He also knew that the attack that hit him was useless but he still couldn't figure out how it hit him, why he became weaker or why he nearly collapsed even before he was attacked.

So he looked up at the grinning boy that was actively looking down at him and even mocking him "This sight looks so much better~ You are definitely the one between the two of us who should spend your time looking up"

Unfortunately for him the eye contact that he initiated was what lead to further issues for him because as Alexander's eyes spun he was placed into an illusion.

Following that Alexander merely stepped past Sinister and casually sat down on the floor as Sinister started punching and grabbing at air.

Which continued for some time because Sinister started slow but eventually he even tried using his other powers.

First by jumping out of the Susanoo and starting to use telekinesis to try to throw things at it but seeing that nothing worked he have up.

Second he seemingly tried using telepathy on Susanoo directly which obviously didn't work at all either and then he finally approached and threw a punch against the Susanoo.

Alexander watched the process of Sinister trying to deal with the very real Susanoo while using the illusion of himself to continue mocking his enemy "Certainly this is proof that age doesn't equate to wisdom....or at the very least that you're far less intelligent and wise then I thought.."

There was no response or reaction to his words outside of a sudden teleportation and attack but when Alexander's illusion dodged it Sinister started truly showing his hand.

He teleported around and kept trying to reach the illusion over and over and over again while progressively becoming just slightly faster.

At least that was what Alexander thought until he realized that Sinister had started to predict him and even added feints into the mix.

However even that paled in comparison to his next move which was to start manipulating his body to randomly extend his limbs, move more fluidly and even to split his limbs in two to reach at Alexander's illusion after he dodged.

Watching from the sidelines as Sinister started becoming more and more frustrated under the influence of illusions Alexander started thinking about what kind of path he himself should try to take.

Personally he liked using weapons regardless of what they were but in a world like this he planned to focus on illusions and if possible magic as well.

Sure considering the fact that he had essentially infinite time the best choice for him was probably to pursue everything, as he had always wanted to, but he already had people he cared about and as such he didn't want to stay stuck in time.

"Hh humans are complicated, yea?" The words seemingly directed at no one were responded to by another voice.

One even more prideful and arrogant then Alexander's "Maybe for some but we both know that you don't actually think so!"

"Hmm...they're often simple and predictable yes but the many overlapping things create complexities. Still comprehensible and can be predicted of course just slightly more difficult~" Alexander then sighed and spoke his mind, this time completely lacking the previous arrogance, because he knew he couldn't afford it when dealing with this new person "Hhh...I really hoped that you wouldn't exist, you know..."

Opposite to his behavior the other man's arrogance reached new heights "I know! And we both know that you've gotten lucky recently!" 

"Hhh that's right and it's disgusting...." What the other person didn't seem to be focusing on, due to trying to obtain something that kept eluding him, was the fact that Alexander had his focus at its absolute peak while he prepared to kill himself "Well it was nice to meet you Calvin" and as such before the man, Mimic, could even begin to respond Alexander killed himself.

Waking up he was somewhat stressed because there was no way to tell not only what the current Mimic was like, what he could have potentially gained etc etc but he had already ran into two power copying/stealing mutants so he couldn't predict how far things could have possibly spread out.

Worst of all Calvin Montgomery Rankin was mainly a villain who's desire was to be able to permanently keep the things that he copies.

His ability was simple yet absurd, he could essentially copy the powers, knowledge, talents, skills etc of everyone around him but couldn't keep them for very long, unless he spent absurd amounts of time with the person who's abilities he was copying.

The only benefit was that thanks to his senses he was fairly certain that Calvin had never met him before, however he couldn't be certain and as such he bit his lip hard enough to draw blood.

He thought about the possibility of him getting close enough to Rogue to learn about him etc but on second thought the villain would certainly take a different route if that was the case.

Putting himself in Calvin's shoes Alexander thought about how he himself would proceed 'A hot headed arrogant man...with my knowledge or knowledge of me....I would get the powers and kill myself immediately it's possible that they would stick that way after all and even if they don't I could at least remember things and then approach the target again'

He then had a thought he didn't like and proceeded to walk to a tree...before immediately starting to punch it to take out his frustrations even accidentally breaking one of his arms in the process.

What was that thought? Well if you wanted to really fuck with a person...why would you not go for his loved ones?

Especially when none of them would remember the fact that they were in a relationship with Alexander and only one of them would even know of his existence.

The only benefit here was the fact that regardless of who could have his powers they would all be stuck on the same day and apparently all would "start" at the same hour so Alexander immediately killed himself and started thinking.

He repeated the process of wake up, think and kill, again and again and again.

Each new life he only allowed himself to live and think for a mere minute before then cutting his own head off, not even allowing the time required for a person to properly start moving on any potential plans that they might have made.

Eventually he managed to come up with an idea for how he could reach the people he cares about before anyone else and put that plan into motion.

The steps for the plan were fascinating.

Immediately after waking up he activated his Susanoo that he used to throw himself high into the air and towards the mansion.

Then while in the air his eyes spun and bled as he suddenly vanished, appearing infront of Jean's room while covering his now fully destroyed left eye.

What he had done was first of all use illusions to allow himself to see Jean's room and second of all he created an illusion of himself in front of her door and then third of all he completely abused his eyes with the thought of 'My position here is illusion and my position there is reality' effectively teleporting.

Due to his now limited energy he stumbled forward and because he couldn't even heal himself Alexander simply reached towards the door and knocked while speaking in a strained but loving manner "Dr. Grey, my love...could you help me..?♡"
