The Baxter Building, Wednesday Late Afternoon

[walks_two_paths]

It was all over.

Savannah couldn't find Johnny and the rest of the Fantatstic Four. Hell, she was having a hard time locating anyone outside of New York City, either. Paige and Lucas weren't listed and the phone for Stonehaven was no longer in service.

She had finally packed a bag and raced from the penthouse to the lower lobby of the Baxter Building. The lobby was mostly deserted and she went outside to flag her own cab down. She didn't know exactly where she was going, but she knew she had to get out of New York City.

She was about to flag down a cab when she was aware of screaming and she turned to look in the direction of the screams.

Blackness. In a place where there should be skyscrapers and cars and so many people there was ... nothing.

And it was getting closer.

She couldn't take her eyes off of the approaching menace. She couldn't outrun it and she knew that there was no way that magic was going to save her from this.

Her hands were shaking as she tried to dial the phone and failed to key the correct numbers.

"Mama," she whispered. She had to call Isabel, let her know what had happened, say goodbye. She just couldn't seem to dial the number right now as she faced down the ending of everything she knew.

In Fandom, Wyatt got a weird buzzing in his head, like a faint sound of bells ringing. And then came the sudden sense that someone he cared for was in immediate danger. It wasn't like anything he'd ever felt before, but he instinctively knew what it meant.

"Fuck. Savannah," he said. "I'll be right back." He orbed away before Isabel could say anything to stop him or grab him and tag along. He wasn't going to risk her on this.

He reappeared beside Savannah on the street. "Savannah!"


[Nap time. Will be back in a few hours. :)]

When she heard her name, Savannah turned and it took her a moment to focus and recognize that it was Wyatt that was standing next to her.

"Wyatt? What is that thing? Where is everyone?" She was trying to make him hear her over the screams around them.

Belatedly, she realized that it should have been Chris that responded to the idea of her in trouble. If Wyatt was sent to get her, then something was wrong. Worse than wrong.

"I don't know," Wyatt said grimly, looking at the darkness that was rapidly getting closer. He grabbed Savannah's arm. "Come on, we're getting out of here."

Savannah didn't even argue with him. She was too dazed for that. When he grabbed her arm, she moved closer to make sure she could grab onto him, too.

Wyatt wasn't going to waste any time. He'd seen how fast that -- whatever it was -- could move. Once he had a hold of Savannah, he quickly orbed them back to Fandom.
