Without even realizing it, Alex's muscles tightened, even though he knew there wasn't reason for it. As soon as he felt the first sensation, his muscles relaxed. That's when he knew that they had been tight. It was reminiscent of the first time he'd gone on a solo mission. The dichotomy of sensations were melded to make an even stronger version of himself.

He reached down to poke and prod at his knee but Alex knew that he really didn't need to. It had begun to feel better as soon as the other sensation faded. "It does feel easier to move. There isn't the pang and twinge that was there before." That was an understatement. Alex always underplayed the strength of the his pains. What was a twinge for him would be a level five pain to anyone else.
