"Elle, luv, would you please go see what that was?" Said the middle aged woman, who was unperturbed picking up the remains of several black and white mugs, which had fallen off their pegs and to their deaths when something had obliterated the better part of Castle Boulevard. The redhead, not nearly as collected as her aunt, was handing a muffin on a plate to a customer, who, like her, had frozen to the spot and was now staring out the window at the massive crater and the crowd which had begun to gather.<br/><br/>Elle nodded slowly. Then, she pulled herself together by shaking her head violently and without further ado shoving the plate into the young man's hands, helpfully outstretched in acceptance of the treat. Automatically wishing him a pleasant day, she marched towards the glass storefront, which had miraculously survived the impact without a single scratch. Slight of stature and with exceptionally pointy elbows, it was no problem for her to push through the array of trench coats and zip-up hoodies that had formed a ring around the brand new hole in the ground. Elle stopped dead at the edge. The hole was not particularly deep, and had not even seriously damaged the sewer pipes beneath the concrete. No, the interesting thing was the young man lying in the middle of the hole. Elle's mind began racing. If the sewer pipes were not damaged, it was probably not an explosion, which meant that this guy had<span style="font-style: italic">fallen from the sky hard enough to make a massive impact and survived.</span>Her imaginative and, admittedly, illogical mind could only come to one conclusion.<span style="font-style: italic">He isn't human. Oh, my God, I've got to get him out or they'll take him and I'll never figure out what just happened. It'd be like getting my Hogwarts letter and being Obliviated at the same time!</span>Ignoring the shocked shouts around her, she swung her legs over the edge and began climbing down the hole. It was not very hard to get to the bottom. Vaguely, she heard someone mention calling the police, and she jumped down the last bit and cautiously approached the man. Up close, she was further confirmed in her thought that he probably was not quite normal. No limbs lay at awkward angles, and except for a few bruises and scrapes he appeared to be completely unhurt. She could even see his chest moving and eyelids fluttering gently. She heaved a great sigh, immensely relieved for a reason she was not quite sure she understood.<br/><br/>She crouched down by him, gently shaking him by his shoulders. "Wake up, mate, or you'll be in deeper shit than you've ever been." Elle said, just quietly enough that she was sure no one up top would hear it. Remembering, she looked up at the people who were all staring down at her with appalling anger painted in their faces. She gave them her biggest, most reassuring grin. "Nothing to worry about! Everything's under control! It's must've been a gas leak or something, and this kid was unlucky enough to be right in the middle of it!" She waved dismissively at a few, and watched the crowd dissipate with another wave of relief. Turning back towards the man in the crater, she shook him once more. She felt that if he was indeed some sort of super human, he should have been awake by now. Besides, she could hear sirens in the distance, and she wanted to be out and away before they got there.
