[oh yeah 720p like a boss, just cause I can]
The rain dropped more heavily now and the lightning arced overhead. Durwin couldn't keep the smile off his face. He opened his arms and said to Mickie and John,
"You might want to step back." Lightning flashed and went right to Durwin. Thunder echoed around. More lightning and thunder continued around Durwin almost like a graceful dance at a ball. Eventually the storm ended, but it left with a spectacular light show, and a rainbow. The machine now stopped vibrating and Durwin ushered the two men over to him,
"This may tingle a bit!" He said bubbly. With a flash as bright as the lightning itself, the three disappeared from the lawn. They shot like an arrow through air, although still not as comfortable as the Rakatan Device. They boomed down onto the ground and Durwin was already rushing inside the Device. The other two finally got their bearings and headed inside,
"C'mon slowpokes! Time stops for no wizard! Except me haha!" John turned to Mickie,
"Is he always like this?"
"Yup." Came the simple reply. They all grouped up and the motherly voice sounded to them.
"Where would you like to travel?" Durwin said,
"Earth, please."
"Oh sure ya say please without any argument fer her, but not fer me."
"Please close your eyes and we will begin." The Mother went on. The three complied and rapture flowed over them. It felt the same as last time yet different somehow. It ended just as quick as it has begun. Durwin was already up again and looking at the Ami Crystal,
"Looks like she's here... alright, at least she's not moving this time. C'mon get together we got one more jump." They all huddled once more and off they went toward the hospital. With a boom they landed just outside the entrance. The concrete below had been broken to pieces. There was a storm above and it seemed to be just after dawn. Durwin smiled wearily,
"The fates must want me to succeed. Durwin opened his arms again from the ground with less vigor than before. Clearly tired the lightning shot to him almost lazily in response. It wasn't long before he was on his feet again. As he got up, Durwin noticed hunks of metal on wheel shaped hunks of rubber. Men in blue all stood dazed before them. Dressed as they were, Durwin, Mickie, and John stood out like a sore thumb. Durwin smiled dumbly and waved. One of the tubbier looking men in blue started yelling and projectiles zoomed at them. The deflected easily away from the group until Durwin held up a hand and plucked on from the air. The others stopped instantly. Durwin looked at the metal object,
"My, my how curious." Mickie then smacked him,
"It's a bullet ya idiot. I thought you were supposed ta know about tha realms!"
"Well I supposed to know the names not what's in them." John turned to them,
"Uhh fellas? My daughter?" Durwin clapped him on the shoulder,
"Don't worry I was just wondering if these guys were enough of a threat so as to waste our time on them. Guess not." Durwin then called out in a voice that sounded much to loud for vocal chords,
"Oi! Director! I hope you complied with my demands! You know what's coming if you didn't!" He turned back to the group,
"C'mon let's get in there." Durwin rushed up the stairs seeming to have forgotten about the stupefied men in blue. He didn't seem to understand a glass door, so he just walked right through it. Mickie groaned,
"I swear it like the all powerful le- uff" Durwin patted him abruptly on the stomach,
"Don't talk about me behind my back when I can still hear you." Durwin walked up to the reception desk.
"I am David Blackwater, here to pick up my niece." The lady just sat wide eyed starting at him. Durwin moved his hand in a circular motion,
"C'mon we haven't got all day! What floor is she on?" The nurse finally studdered back,
"T-t-t-the t-t-twent-t-y f-f-irs-s-t!"
"Ahh thank you madame." Durwin went through the motions of tipping his hat, though he did not wear one. Mickie rushed to elevator,
"Lemme do it lest ya break something else."
"Be my guest." Calming elevator music started up in stark contrast to the situation they were in. With a loud BING! the elevator stopped off on the twenty first floor. Durwin looked at the Ami Crystal again,
"She is.. thata way." And off he went. He arrived at the door, and Mickie rushed to stop him with a loud,
"No!" But seeing the door locked, Durwin just bust it open. A woman inside screamed and launched herself at him. She started to repeatedly smash the metal bat on Durwin's head until it had bent and broke in pieces. It had little effect. Durwin just laid on the ground staring up at the women, with her breathing heavily on him. Durwin smirked,
"You know the last time I was in this predicament with a young lady I got married to he-" Thud. John had kicked him in the head. The woman yelped again, and looked up to face her second would-be attacker. The sight of him brought tears to her eyes,
"Don!" She leaped up and embraced him. Durwin got up from the ground and rubbed his head,
"You didn't have to do that so hard you know... ouch." He moved toward Julia. The obvious mother screeched and tried to pounce on him again, but John held her back. Her wild eyes asked many questions at once, who? what? where? why? when?
