[ Oh, he does not like the way her eyes follow him, like a predator zeroing in on its prey. If there's one thing Alec does not enjoy being, it's prey.

That ball of lightning comes shooting his way, and old instincts kick in. Alec's been more or less out of the mercenary game for a while, but it's hard to forget how to fight another magic user. Like riding a bike. Still moving, he hits the deck, sliding a short ways on his back. The lightning still clips his shield as it passes, though it seems to be none worse for wear.

With that same inhuman speed, he's up and splaying a palm in her direction, sending a Firebolt small ball of flame her way. It won't do much, he knows, but it's all a distraction anyway, because the next moment, Alec simply winks out of being.

He's still here. Just invisible. ]
