Instantaneous by name, instantaneous by nature. The floor seemed not to give way under his feet so much as vanish entirely- a pretty strange illusion, given that they were the ones who'd vanished- but the move was so quick that Kibitoshin didn't even see their surroundings blur before they were planted back on the ground again.

The fact that Kibitoshin apparently hadn't expected them to make it through in one piece was, uh. Less good. Though Sam couldn't say he blamed him.
He glanced behind him to make sure Peter was still there, then squinted at the hallway. The whole institute looked like a badly retro-fied strip club with the pink glow.
"This is it, yeah."
Huh. It was pretty quiet, right? That was weird. There was always a mass of people up here. People and plenty of supernatural creatures crawling out of the woodwork. Especially if anyone had been taken tonight...Okay, so they took them at dinner. The institute hadn't lost control until after. Which meant anyone they took should've had their powers back.
Which meant there should be people trying to get out, people trying to get in, and a hell of a lot of exploded scientists ( ... )

He was right. There had been all sorts of people around here when they'd made their first crusade up here, either outside the hallway or already waiting for the doors to click open so that they could rescue their friends themselves. So where were they now? There was a chance that they'd been early, but if everyone had their powers back the advantage of being able to teleport up didn't really count for much ( ... )

Seriously, Christ, what else could Peter do? His roommate had basically spelled it out for him once, but watching it in action was another thing altogether. He was like a mishmash of all of Yellow Eyes's special kids thrown together in a blender. But without the, uh, homicidal bits ( ... )

Well, that was good to know, right? If there was no one in there, that meant that no one hand been tortured. It would have been pretty unlikely for whoever had been in that room to have just crawled away straight afterwards, considering the state the doctors here liked to leave people in once they were finished with them. They'd never have been able to stand, never mind get up, get out and lock the door behind them, all without leaving a trace.
Even so... looking at the still, silent room left open as Peter stepped towards the next door, the Kaioshin couldn't help but shiver. Couldn't help but wonder what it might be like to be strapped down with those lights switched on in his eyes, unable to teleport or struggle or fight back, with the coldness of the table biting into his back. The pink glow only seemed to make things worse. He could only hope that if there had been someone in there they'd managed to get away like Peter suggested. Whatever the case, he certainly wasn't going to object to ( ... )

He moved with Peter, until Kibitoshin spoke up and then.
Wait, was everyone here just capable of supernatural strength? And teleporting. And flying. Peter obviously hadn't anticipated their abilities coming back when he'd said he needed Sam along for the firepower. Not that he was feeling...kinda out of place or anything. Much ( ... )
