Paige was very glad to recieve Caelea's help. She hadn't asked for it, because how could she ask anyone to risk their life for her, when the reason she wanted their help was to protect hers? It would have been hypocritical. Still, Paige didn't want to die, and while this girl wasn't the strongest, it was something just not to be carrying her entire weight, and it probably saved her life.

"Thank you, so much," Paige said as the pair moved forwards. "I won't forget this."

When they reached the end of the tunnel, Paige stepped to one side, to let Caelea go first. "You first. You risked your life to protect me, you don't deserve to lose it for me," she reasoned with the other girl.

Once Caelea was up, Paige followed, passing her crutch up to anyone who might be there to recieve it, or otherwise just throwing it up as best she could. Then, in her strange way of doing so, she hauled herself up each rung of the ladder, finally reaching the top as the swarm was becoming unbearable below. Paige pulled herself up and into the garage just as time stopped.

The state of stillness that Jordan had caused was disorienting, but at this point Paige had come to accept that her prior concepts of what was possible had turned out to be wrong, and in similar fashion just accepted that her friend could do this. It wasn't like she hadn't been warned; she already knew that most, if not all of the people that had come here were capable of... [i]something[/i]. Honestly, Paige just wished hers would show up soon so that she wasn't constantly relying on everyone else.

Speaking of which, the dark-skinned girl who'd led the way before was asking about Abstractions.

Paige spoke up, still catching her breath. "In terms of abstractions, I've got nada. But, I do have one idea; I doubt there's much ventilation in that tunnel. If we can start a fire, the smoke should clear out most of the insects, and then we won't be trapped. Anyone got anything for that?"

Once done speaking, Paige took a step back, and moved to stand beside Jordan and Kimberly. Not wanting to interrupt whoever was speaking next, Paige only spoke quietly, saying "You alright, Jordan? That hit looked nasty."
