Temporal Distortion for $100 Alex

[DreamFire]

 The group that moments ago had been in the darkForce Dimension, were now suddenly transported into the long hallway of the dorm rooms. They all landed with a loud thud, hitting the floor hard.  " What in the absolute hell just happened!?!?" Jen slowly stood up, rubbing her tush a bit as it felt bruised from the landing. " Like, i can't even."  She shook her head as if she was trying to shake the cobwebs lose. 

 Yana was leaning on her soulsword, trying to catch her breath. " Some sort of teleportation vortex I believe."  She slowly got up to one knee.  " I've never felt that energy signature before, it felt abnormal."   Yana then turned to look at every one else. " Every one else okay?"  

 " Yeah....I think....." Stalik was sitting, slumped down with his back against the hallway wall.  " My insides feel like someone took a blender to them, but beside that, I feel about as lousy as normal." Stalik began to cough a bit, his body still twitching a bit, some drops of blood trickled from his lips.  He took his sleeve, running it across his face, smearing the blood away from his lips.  " Whatever was going on back there, something important didn't want us any closer, or figuring out who or what is involved."  Stalik ran a few blood smeared fingers through his hair. " I suppose for now, we should find Scott and see what circus he has going on now."

Kitty had gone to the dorms after that insipid party and had fallen asleep. Or at least she had tried to fall asleep. Stalik was away on his own mission, and while she knew he could take care of himself, she was very worried for him. The mess with Kalik not being Kalik had driven both of them crazy, and it had reached a point where he needed to do something about it. They had more or less decided she would stay behind for now, knowing full well Illyana could fetch her at a moment's notice.

Then there was the issue of Keillia, Kalik's wife who now wasn't Kalik's wife at all. She basically fled the mansion to go on a dig and never returned. Something about that was freaking Kitty out more than she had let on to Abbey or anyone else. It was all making her toss and turn when she heard a loud thud in the hallway.

"Santo, what did I tell you about tossing your basketball at the wall?" she said as she literally stuck her head out of the door, only to see Stalik and his team sprawled on the floor in the hallway. "Oh my God! Stalik, what happened?" she said as she ran out of their room, their blanket trailing behind her. "Do you need me to get you down to Hank?"

Kitty scanned the others and hit the comm badge on the wall. "Hank, Cece, I need someone in the dorms now. Stalik's team is back...and they wound up here."

As she waited for the med bay to ring her back, Kitty slipped her arms around her husband. She winced slightly as she went to kiss him. "I got a boo boo fighting a horde of demons at the Hellfire Club. Bet your story tops mine."
