It wasn't long before the others turned up. First, the arrival of Gizmo - the twin boys that were the only other people she knew that were even relatively close to her age - was very obvious. They practically came arguing, and Eris clasped her hands to her ears again, muttering "Shut up, shut up, shut up." She knew that they couldn't hear her, they were too busy bickering to hear Eris, so even Rebecca and Connor couldn't hear her. Finally, someone stopped them, and Eris took her hands off her ears.
"Focus, and try blocking them out," Connor told her gently, and Eris did her best to not scowl. She was trying, of course she was, but she was having a mental overload. She imagined closing all the links to everyone around her, but it just made the voices quieter, as if there was a dull buzzing in the back of her skull. It was better, at least. Eris sighed, exhausted already. Not only had she pushed herself already, but holding certain links open while others was closed was a lot of work, and it was giving her a headache. She rubbed her temples, trying to concentrate.
Then Eric turned up, before inputting that Eris would need a distraction to get it. She rolled her eyes. She hated to admit it, but it was true. She would need a way in, although she did have a few tricks up her sleeve to distract them herself.
After Connor gave the all clear, and she had fist bumped him for good measure, Eris headed over to Rebecca, before holding onto her arm again. She joked about flying, but Eris wasn't really listening. She was trying to push the screaming out of her head again. She nodded slightly, staring forwards towards the bank, trying to see inside. She could see a huge, cat-like creature, and red globules whizzing around inside. A few seconds later and the screaming started up. "Someone went down." She muttered absently, chewing her nails and looking forward still. Finally, Eris returned to her senses and turned to Rebecca with a smile. She touched her forehead and the sinking and twisting feeling in her stomach finally came to life, before Rebecca took her hand. She squeezed it affectionately, as she knew it was for comfort. Eris took a deep breath and kicked off the ground, in a sort of jumping motion, except she rose much higher into the air, as the gravity was shifted. Eris' ears popped painfully, and she winced slightly. It was nothing compared to the headache she was getting.
Eventually, Rebecca had directed them to the rooftop, and Eris let out a huge breath when she touched down and felt Earth's gravity regain it's grip on her body. Her ears popped once again, and the intense pulling feeling made her legs feel weak. She stumbled forwards slightly, but Rebecca was there, which made Eris immediately straighten up and try to regain her balance. After a few seconds, Rebecca waved goodbye and jumped off. Eris wasn't worried. She could hear her fear as she fell safely.
Eris examined her surroundings until she saw the opening of the vent. Hurrying over, she tugged at it, before becoming disappointed to find that it was screwed on tight. Frowning slightly, she concentrated for a few seconds, before the bolts flew off and the vent fell towards her with a slight clatter. Smiling to herself, Eris eased herself in and began crawling.
The maze of silver stretched out in front of her, but even from inside the vents she could hear the growling of the cat-creature. She followed it, before hearing whispering and an intense heat. She decided to pass by just as her ears started ringing with a stupidly high pitched tone. Ignoring it, she continued on. John was probably right below her, and she didn't want to encounter him right now. She had a job to do.
She kept crawling until she came to a grate in the vent. It was obviously in the ceiling of the hostage room, as she could see the armour plating on the cat creature, and the top of the blond boy's head. A few of the hostages caught her eye, but Eris gave them a quick gesture to shut them up. They ignored her after that.
Eris then had an idea. The others weren't in there yet, but Eris had no doubt that they were coming. So, she shouted. Mentally, of course. "Oi! Suckers! Over here!" She began with, stifling her giggles with a hand. Then, after a moment of recklessness passed in her mind, she smashed the glass away from the civilians and towards the villains, before flicking them with the little bits of glass. Finally, she flicked the alarm switch with a quick mental motion, before crawling towards the bottom end of the vents to ground level. Now, she'd have to wait, and hope that what she'd done was enough to confuse them before the main guns came barrelling in.
