Nightshift 49: Waiting Room/Lobby 1

[from here]Slipping through the door into the next room, Brainiac 5 frowned, his hand rising to his head as a sudden wave of dizziness swept over him. He felt a little thrown off, like suddenly losing a data stream during an analysis. "Did something just..." he began, but trailed off, uncertain if it was simply a side effect due to stress or ( Read more... )

S.T. stepped through the door.  His inner ear took a microsecond to catch up.  The world lurched like he'd just taken a good-sized hit of nitrous, but no euphoria followed in it's wake.  He took a deep breath.  The world got its sea legs, but this wasn't a patio.  The kid din't recognize it either -- what had his name been?  Member of the Significant Moniker Club, but what had it been?  Fuck.  S.T. squinted at him.  The pale circles tattooed on his forehead bobbed and dipped one last time like a car-lot searchlight extravaganza and then pointed to the answer.
