So, there's no knowledge requirement for the Leveler? With the Scrambler, he knew somewhat what had happened. Currently with AM, wouldn't, logically, CM try to cancel out the lightning or fire. That's what he sees and I don't see why he has any reason to think otherwise. Obviously, after he tries to use his power and it doesn't work, he would realize something was up. Then, I would be fine if he canceled the illusions. I just think there should be some reason for it.
Edgedancer, how long will it take for VG to resurrect? AM might use her to help him escape. I imagine she would be quite angry with CM.
Maybe she will appear outside the bouncy castle and AM will see her as he escapes. He could then ask her to come with him to get revenge later and take her on his bike.
Joe, AM has his guns and bullets. He'd probably shoot/telekinetically throw one through the side of the bouncy house, popping a hole. He could then stretch the hole telekinetically and escape on his bike. But, if he has a chance, he'll try and attack Scorch first.
