He should've sensed the power the moment it occurred- there's no explanation for what it feels to sense everything and then suddenly be shut off. It shouldn't have taken Jinx's screaming to wake him up. He jumped up and immediately felt sick from the vertigo- he wasn't used to anything about this human body yet- but Jinx took precedence over his own condition. Aside from the disorientation and the fact that he couldn't just appear in her room, he almost forgot that he was human.
"Jinx? JINX?" Could she hear him? When he paused at the door, he could hear two voices and one of them- he hurled himself at the door without ( ... )

That was probably the best way to put it, because saying he felt utterly disconnected and wrong was...No, that was probably closer, really.
It was like something was being yanked on in the back of his head. Like...The compulsion to shift, but- ...No. That wasn't it at all. Close, but-(Damn it. What the fuck was that?) The weirdest part was how the white noise of everyone in the fucking building (From what he could tell anyway) was suddenly both louder and...incomprehensible. There was no urge to shift, no individual louder than the rest, just a tug at the back of his brain that had latched around a specific sound in the mess of things running through his head. It felt like something was yanking on him. But not...Physically- What- He couldn't fucking focus.
(Of all the times to be going fucking crazy, Ward, you have amazing goddamn timing.)
What the hellHe was trying to figure it out, eyes unfocused, absent and red-eyed, staring at the wall far wall when he heard Gabriel crashing into the door. It took ( ... )

It was better to focus on the cat then his own breathing. His mind felt empty at times. No voices. No visions. No nothing that was normally there. He focused on the rhythmic in and out of his breath and the cat purring on his chest.
It was easier then letting his mind focus on what happened the day before, with Trauma and how Josie was suddenly there and what she said and-he heard something in the room next door, but he didn’t move at first. He just lay back, taking a moment, telling the others that he had a headache and wanted a nap. Breathing in and out and-he heard her talking louder. Stronger. To some male voice. Was it… Patrick ( ... )

The growl tapered off as he clambered over to where Jinx was. He couldn't fit himself into the tiny space, but he could reach a hand in and grab hers. He was sore and still exhausted and in agony, but he could forget all of that for Jinx- dammit, he was a self-centered asshole to barely pay her any mind the last few days, except when she was bossing him around and mothering him.
"Jinxie? Babe? C'mon. It's just me." He pressed his forehead against the bookcase, squeezing her hand tightly. "It's okay. The boys are taking care of it."
The boys. He gritted his teeth and tried to focus on her, instead of his own uselessness for once. He'd worry about how badly he wanted to tear whoever that was, whatever that was apart later. For now, it was making sure his girl was safe and okay.

It had been years and she still had the nightmares. She still wondered if he could somehow control her mind, even from across parallel dimensions. Every supervillain that fell into the Port from her world seemed to make the chances higher that Brother Blood would follow them. Now he was here. Her greatest fear come to life. He was here and everyone was in danger. They needed to run. She needed to do something, but her body just wouldn't listen. Her powers were gone. She was useless. ( ... )

If he wasn't, then what good was he?
"You're not his. You're not his," he found himself saying, hoarsely, trying to shake her out of the trance. "You're mine. Okay? You're mine and no one- no one is gonna touch you like that again, unless they want their entrails on Gucci's next fall line." The words poured out of his mouth, despite him knowing he ( ... )

No one is gonna touch you like that again.
There was a good deal more sobbing until she was finally able to breathe in more than gasps. It was jilted, but she was trying. Her hands gripped tight fists in her hair and she trembled, trying to just focus on her lungs. Trying to get some sort of control. She felt like she was going to puke. She wanted to scream. Instead, a small voice came out of her. "Gabriel...It took a great deal of effort, but she pulled her head up just enough to show her eyes. Slowly, cautiously, she opened them. The expression painted on her face was that of a terrified child. She felt sixteen again, under Blood's control and unable to fight it. A weak waste of flesh. That was with her powers ( ... )
