She disappeared in a puff of smoke, and Q would feel a massive force hit the back of his head "I'M WAY OLDER THAN YOU DAMNIT"

He smacked into the ground face first, an audible crunch echoing out in the hall as his face broke, more or less. Groaning and and rolling to the side, he jabbed a stimpack into his neck, writhing as he felt his bones knit back together slowly.

He looked up at her, his nose still bent to the left, blood streaming down his face from where bones used to jar out. A wince racked his features his nose snapped back into place. "Nothing, not anymore." he said as he stood, brushing himself off. His steps were silent as he walked away down the hall, quiet as a mouse.

The sounds of Alpha punching the wall were audlible, even as the crunch of bone breaking followed. Another friend turned enemy. Great.
