Re: Magnus and the Mountains
They kitchen aid finally stops yelling after you tell him twice. The other two men with him come over to examine you, but you indicate you're fine. They're uncertain, but you show them your arm. They follow you, and one of them goes and tells the kitchen aide to 'go take a break, pal, you did well.' You think he's lying to get rid of the still excited man.
In the kitchen, you try to throw your mind back in time. At first it does not work, but after a bit of restructuring the effort, you see things rewind. First you see yourself walk out, then you see healing your arm, then you see the kitchen aid freaking out and leaving, then you see yourself healing yourself, but failing to get it completely right, and then you see the kitchen aide do his first freak, and then you see yourself flying through the air.
Slowing things down, and flipping them around to be easier to understand....
You're standing in the kitchen. The teleporter appears near you, and his hand is inside the metal pot on the stove. Something alarms you, and you're diving before you should be able to. Still, you catch a buckshot blast of hot metal bits and finger bones in the chest...
Rolling back, you try to see the psi energies going on---this is more difficult---you manage. YOu see yourself manipulating spacetime, but the professor just smashes through your shield--helped by the fact that he was already scared, and went to total panic as his hand exploded.
You realize the professor is in deep trouble. He's missing most o fhis right hand, and will bleed out soon.
