A very emotional drained and physically tired April enters the Nexus. She almost seems to be trying to comprehend something on a private level, like something unbelievable (and bad) has recently happened

Victor sees her, and her face falls, and she says, softly, lips curled into a hurt little frown, "What on earth happened? I need details."

And an unspoken: why didn't anyone call me? And underneath that she's checking mentally to make sure she has everything she needs to go to work straightaway.

"Zod is now in possession of Lex's body. Brainaic created a computer virus that has disabled all technology. And Clark..." April collects herself. "Has been sucked into the Phantom Zone."

"People are rioting. Friends are missing. And I am sorry if you were not called sooner... we were so fucsed on trying to stop it from happening."

She feels her body start to do the thing where she has a panic attack, heating up from what feels everywhere at once, chest tightening, heart pounding, all at once feeling like her head is full of something light that is tugging her up and up.

She flops down on the nearest couch, head between her knees, and tries to force herself to take deep breaths.

Vic's such a cool customer that she doesn't usually have visible massive freakouts anymore. It's rare. But it looks like everything is going as wrong as it possibly can at once, and she didn't even know anything was going on.

Sensing the panic attack from Victor, April closes her eyes and silently works through it. Pass manic can be a very hard thing for a psychic to experience, and it only gets worse when similar emotions are felt off people close to you.

"Things aren't completely screwed yet..." She whispers. Trying to find the strength to get through this.

"Get very, very drunk." The answer comes from a bearded young man in the corner, tucked away where no one can trip over his extended legs. "Anything in particular causing this, that you can go out and kick some ass?"

[slayers_desire]

"Right now I wish I could." Alcohol has little affect on April.

"Bad guy creating world chaos to gain control."

[brittle_wings]

"Not old enough, huh?" Joker guesses, looking sympathetic. "Pity."

"So get some friends, get well-armed, and go find him." He shrugs. "That's what we did."

[slayers_desire]

"The bad in question is quite powerful. And one of my friends..." April looks away for a moment. "My boyfriend can match his powers. But was taken from me."

"Ten years of catatonia, then who knows how long murdering my way through the landscape of my childhood dreamworld," Alice says with a grimace. "I wouldn't recommend either. What's happened that's caused all this strife?"

[slayers_desire]

"Something bad. An enemy of Clark's created this electronic virus that has disabled everything, people are panicing as a result, and a much stronger enemy has been awakened and has imprisoned Clark."

[save_us_alice]

"Bloody hell," Alice says. "I can't offer any advice on the electronics side, as such things are still often a mystery to me, but -- what did he do to trap Clark?"

[slayers_desire]

"He used a device called the Phantom Zone, which imprisoned Clark."

[statsraaden]

Very badly. It happened to me during the war and I almost lost my entire family and everyone I knew, and we weren't the worst off.

What happened?

"I... tend to look after my own." He looks a little guilty for it, though, after she's hinted other people doing the same are part of the problem. Connor rubs the back of his neck, awkward. "I'm sorry. I'm not sure I can help."

[slayers_desire]

"That was my first instincts. But Clark would want me to look after the innocents, his friend and his family while he... he is unavailable to do so."

[1stmacleod]

"...Why is he unavailable?" Well that's got his attention.

[slayers_desire]

"Clark has been trapped in a jail-like dimension called the Phantom Zone."
