Snippet #981861

"What happened to you back there?"

For a moment, Markus remained silent as he sifted through his memory of the unfortunate incident that had kept him out cold for a good while. Once in a while, he'd get blurred, but that was only before Darius had found out who he was. And even then, it never lasted quite as long. The thought of fading scared him a bit, and all he could do was hope that it wouldn't happen again.

"No idea. It's probably nothing."

It was then that he noticed the scenery passing somewhat slowly, prompting the wonder of how far Regen still was. The meeting time was fast approaching, though some alters never really went there on time. Markus stopped the board for a couple seconds and let it ascend into the sky, the height of, when you'd look down, normal people were barely distinct.

"Uhm, hold on. I'll get us the Aegis in a second. You probably shouldn't look down."

Without waiting for an answer, his right hand instantaneously carved a 'path' through the city to where Regen should be. The whistle of high-speed wind filled where his hand had been, the distance and proportions exact. In the meantime, the wheels under then had completely stopped, and all but themselves could hear and see where they were. Light wasn't so terribly hard to reflect. He held on to Henri's wrist, hoping that she wouldn't fall through the ride he'd created.

With all's said and done, Markus whipped through the tunnel, the speed probably exceeding a roller coaster's but the ride all the same, and in less than ten seconds landed with a feather's touch in front of Regen headquarters. He stepped off and turned to help Henri, if she indeed needed it.
