It's kind of stupid, but it takes a while for things to click. Watching Spider-Man go, realizing that I'm surrounded by capes who aren't using their abilities, it occurs to me for the first time that there's nothing there. I reach out for my power and there's nothing there, and the absence is too much to wrap my head around just now. For a moment, I'm lost in it, thrown.

It's only a theory. Until I can try and call out the Staff of One, it's only an idea, and when Phoenix starts yelling, it yanks me back to reality and I'm only too glad to comply. Thinking about this now's a good way to get myself killed, but running? Running works. "I think we're gonna need more than some rocks to hide behind!"
