Alex shook her head at the offered hand. "Have no idea what you said. Deaf. Staying with Spec," she said, pointing at her friend. "Be useful, dammit. Go. Stop the King."

She shook her head again, groaning, and several of the doorways disappeared.

"Too much, too soon," Alex muttered, holding her head.

The rest of the doors stopped shimmering, disappearing.

"They're free!" One of the police yelled. "Everyone mobilize!"

Stumbling, Alex moved closer to Spectrum to help get her and the other wounded out.
