Watch your feet

When the white light clears away this time, the abductees find themselves standing in an environment that is, if possible, even blander than the soul-destroying corporate cube farm. The horizon and sky--or is it a ceiling?--overhead are smooth and white, though with a slight curve to it suggesting that they are looking up at the inside of an enormous eggshell.

The floor, however, is not quite so featureless, though still quite bland. It seems to be made up of oval tiles, a pale cream in color, fit together quite closely. Each of the abductees can feel a slight thrumming vibration beneath their feet, suggestive of an orchestra tuning up.

A dizzying array of environments swirls past the Man of Steel, until finally he enters a vast "room" filled with oval stone pillars.

"I still have no idea what we're doin."

Not that it lessens his enthusiasm any.

"Our best." Superman offers, because he feels like he should have SOMETHING to say during situations like these. The oval pillars make Superman frown, as he sends a mental plea to the Martian Manhunter! 'J'onn, are you following this?'

Their best... Their best what?

"Ring, map this wacko path we're on. I wanna be able to get outa here after we pull of the rescue."




"...'kaayyyyy."

So out of his depth here.

A warning to those connected through my mind...It is taking an enormous amount of my energy to maintain the...focus neccessary to allow this projection so I may not be able to engage in discourse during this operation. He breaths steadily to regain his composure, Be ready for anything. Since what you will be 'seeing' is a psychic projection, you could encounter nearly anything the human mind can imagine or perceive.

..oh crap. Gotta keep my mind clear. Think of cars. Think of Football. Superbowl. Half-time. Half-Time Show. Cheerleaders. Tora in a cheerleader outfit. Naked Tora... OH GOD....

Kyle wastes no time barrelling through the opening that Jade has provided for them, following hot on her heels as she continues to widen the path linking their reality to whatever other dimension their fellow heroes have been taken. Further up ahead,

J'onn's tone is somewhat strained as the heroes make their way through the dimensional bridge, but at least they're through.

Their surroundings are indescrible - there simply are no words to illustrate the twisting astral biways and highways that the group finds themselves in, but Kyle keeps his eyes on Superman as the Man of Steel expertly guides them through the tunnel.

Just hang on, Bea.

It's all Guy can do to follow his partner and Superman into Jade's portal.
He feels like someone slipped him the funny Kool Aid and he's inside a fusion of a Pink Floyd video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aunoKAz6Mc) and the opening sequence of Doctor Who.

As the oval pillars move slowly up and down, the rescue team can catch glimpses of small figures in the distance.

Tora flies in alongside Guy, trying not to glance at the pictures flashing up on the tunnel, until she catches a glimpse of the figures far off in the distance.

And a flash of green hair.

Tora flies towards them, carefully trying to stay above the shifting pillars.

"Look out!" Superman shouts, because he shouts things like that...

...and all of a sudden there's a Man of Steel struggling against one of the pillars. Where did that come from?! "Can't...hold it for...long!" Clark grunts, wishing he had gotten a chance to build up a head of steam first.

The pillar continues with its slow, majestic rise and fall.
