you take a mortal man
Daniel is exploring Kashtta Tower, attempting to familiarize himself with the new Torchwood base. The building is mostly empty, which unnerves him a little as he's used to large crowds milling about. He saw Toshiko and Revan briefly, but they seemed to be busy with a reddish metal creature at the time, so he decided not to distract them.
He passes by one of the office room windows, his thoughts a million light-years away, when the bang of a bird hitting glass startles him. Something rises up in his mind, blazing gold and silver, and he instinctively pushes down, hard, his subconscious screaming danger. A howling fills his ears, the whole world seemingly to shudder and break apart around him.
Daniel finds himself on his back, staring at the destruction around him. A vaguely circular shape has cut through the ceiling and floor around him, and the windows are looking a little cracked. It looks almost as though someone has taken a giant hammer and slammed it into the ground at his feet, or perhaps placed a black hole in his hands, and he realizes after a moment that he has somehow ended up a floor below where he started.
Oh, shit.
