[B]Prof. Namashiya Kotori[/b] -- [i]Simurgh[/i]

As Aiden went on to explain how he had a series of misfortunate events occur to make him arrive at the Collider Tunnel, Kotori listened and watched acutely. Searching for any odd ticks or hints that he might not be telling the truth. Even when he practically showered her with compliments, she remained completely neutral.

After all, people often used such things as a diversionary tactic; and she would not fall for it.

Yet his cautionary worry about what might be going on topside did get her acknolwedgement. Nodding in agreement to such, she would speak quickly in turn.

[B]"A strong electrokinetic overrode what you were doing, you say?"[/b] She inquired at first, motioning for him to follow her as she headed towards the spare Elevator shaft. [B]"That's fairly odd, since Electrokinetics are rather rare, but I suppose I need to make haste. The last thing ENMA needs is another Cardiff incident right in the middle of its grounds."[/b]

Stepping right up to the Elevator shaft, with her will the door snapped open to an empty space without the Elevator actually being there. Glancing over her shoulder to the man who stood behind her, she actually looked apologetically to him. 

[B]"I know this might be a bit awkward, but if there is a state of emergency above us, I need to move quickly."[/b] Before he knew it, Mr. Cross was gently lifted into the air as she herself seemed to be. [B]"And for security and safety reasons, I sadly can't leave you down here alone."[/b]

A split moment later, they were skyrocketing upwards towards the heavens, at speeds just a hair below the speed of sound together. Aiden would be able to watch as the air itself seemed to split and rupture around them in bursts of condensation as they teetered on the edge of sound itself. All for the sake of insuring that ENMA was still standing. 

Yet there was a solid object coming right for them! The elevator was on the return path towards the bottom floor! Wordlessly, she would take action as before Aiden's eyes, the Elevator would break up into thousands upon thousands of pieces. Completely disassembling itself as they flew [i]through[/i] where the Elevator had once been. Once theu were clear of it, the machine seemed to reassemble itself as it continued its descent.

Leaving only the ceiling of the shaft in their way. Which naturally swung wide open into the brilliance of daylight and sapphire heavens, as both Kotori and Aiden hung in the sky for a brief moment. 

It seemed that there was a fair amount of disgruntlement about some sort of obscene broadcast, but ENMA was perfectly intact. Glancing back to Aiden, Kotori spoke at long last again.

[B]"And about that cup of coffee, I'm afraid I must decline. There's much work to be done, and evident chaos to resettle."[/b] The two would gently land next to one another in front of Claire, who seemed a bit irked at her charge. Causing a lofted brow to rise from the Songbird.

[B]"Know who caused this, Miss Claire? I would be thankful for any knowledge you can provide.[/b]
