All in all you're just another brick in the wall [ Open ]

[ So this is new. He may or may not have had a mini hysterical breakdown in the room where he woke up but- he suits up and tries to get it together. The first time he stretches his mind out for D and finds him gone, even though he knew it wasn't gonna work, he twitches hard against a spike of panic and-

is-

Somewhere else?

This is also new. this is terrifying in it's newness. He goes from a stark, clinical room to the top of a building-
There's a fountain. It's very pretty. He's VERY FREAKED OUT. Another stumbling step and he's

Not there-

anymore he's somewhere else. A library? WHAT THE FUCK? WHERE THE HELL IS HE? Someone's there.
He sees someone there and he reaches out for an answer, for a solution for any fucking thing at all and-

isn't there anymore. He's in a bedroom.

Then a school.

Then an abandoned lot.

Then he's there, RIGHT THERE, all tan armor and crackling voice over the radio, scared and startled and unable to fucking understand what the HELL IS GOING ON and he catches a hold of someone. Anyone. Whoever's closest. Clings and shakes them and says- ]

You're gonna give me some sane answers right the fuck now-

[ But he's gone.

He's gone and he's taken whoever he's grabbed with him and this time? This time he's wiped. This time he STOPS.
Mostly because he's stuck with his arm half in and half out of a wall, forced to stand while his HUD and the healing
unit blare angry noises at him about pressure and potential crush injury if he moves the wrong way. Caught like a
fish he lets go of whoever and scrabbles, trying to dig his arm out. ]

Oh god oh god oh shit oh god someone get me OUT OF HERE!


[ ooc: York is porting himself all around Freesia due to not knowing how his magic works! YAY! If you want him to port into your character's room, bedroom, bathroom, place of employ, whichever just toss them up and assume he's popped up there. If you want your character to have been grabbed by him and stuck in the middle of nowhere with his arm stuck in a wall, go for it! ]

And teleportation gates are normal?

[It's not that it's completely unheard of where Bruce is from, but teleportation in general is still in the developmental phase.]

[Bruce's gaze quickly flicks up and down, assessing Agent York.]

Well, your parts look like they're in the right places to me, so I think you can safely write that worry off. Lux is never around anyway.

[goddamngrenades]

Where I'm from, yes. They need to be rooted and anchored- I don't know the science ok I just know they work.

[ He makes another aborted jerk of his arm from the wall. ]

This. Is. such bullshit.

[batdweeb]

[That sounds interesting, but considering the circumstances and the fact that York has already stated he doesn't know much about it, Bruce decides to let that subject drop. He also considers giving York a Light Shoulder Touch of Minor Comfort, but settles for another pacifying smile.]

No argument here. Do you mind if I leave you alone for a few minutes? I'd like to see if I can get to the other side of this wall.

[goddamngrenades]

Go for it. It's not like I'm about to go anywhere.

[ His head drops forward to bang against the wall, more muffled muttering helps him not freak out quite so much. ]

[batdweeb]

Okay, good luck with the... everything. Ciao.

[Bruce turns and will indeed disappear around the corner for... a little while, actually. He does check on the inside of the building, which turns out to be the lobby of an apartment complex and then, since he realize he's relatively close to his actual apartment, makes a quick detour in that direction.]

[When he does return several minutes later it's with a t-shirt pulled on and lugging around a gym bag. He calls out:]

Agent York? It's Bruce. Are you still there?

[And how has York been holding up in the mean time?]
