Otto braced himself and steadied his injured cousin until she was in his arms. He tried to hold her in a way that was most comfortable for her, a feat that proved difficult considering her injury. He didn't want to think of what Lex and others were considering as they gathered disguises. He didn't want to imagine their home under the influence of the O's... or worse yet, having to deal with them again after this massive loss.

His heart leapt into his throat as Rep and Harrison approached. The bodies they carried filled his heart with dread. Simon he knew was gone.. but Allan did not look good either. A man nearly indestructible reduced to this.

Otto looked away, and chose to focus on helping his cousin. He was alive, and yet people far greater than he could ever hope to be were...

"I don't wanna know." Otto murmured, his heart racing as he waited for the portal to load up. The alarms were far behind them, but the danger hung heavily in the weighted air. "Don't think about it."

He could feel her get colder, as she started to shake from shock. He wasn't sure what had happened, but the pain in her voice and the look of her leg said enough. She was in a lot of pain, and there wasn't much he could do to help. He kept her up easily enough, her weight negligible compared to Tenya's. His free hand rubbed her back in an attempt to focus her mind away from the pain in her leg.

"Just try not to think about it..."

"Don't sweat it." Otto said with a grimace, "I know you mean well. I just... don't care if you're related by blood or not. S'not what really matters." He may as well be honest, distract her some more and keep her occupied from her injuries and the despair surrounding them. It was that or let the time tick by with bated breath.

"Family doesn't automatically mean anything good. But I don't hate you, if that makes you feel any better." That was as close to a compliment as Otto was getting, for now.

Kissing noises may or may not be coming from nearby but Rin did not look mirthful when doing so. She looked sick, if anything.

The portal formed, they only had mere moments to get through it. Everything felt like a strange, distorted blur- flashes of something - grass- dirt - the training fields - something-

- Everything went dark.

Yes, your character passes out at this point, so make sure they're in a good position to do so before the next prompt posted (in this rp)

Just as he'd promised, Robert ran right behind Mimsy and Shu, making sure they made it safely to the portal. The sight of it was like a beacon of hope, beckoning them back to - to what? What would they find when they got back? Their facility was still under siege when they'd been transported, there was no assurance of safety once they got home, like there usually was. Nowhere felt safe.

The portal itself twisted and bent, and he slowed in his tracks, staring up at it. The scenery around it, the people, everything twisted into a swirling vortex of color and light and wrong. Robert fell to his knees, keeping his arm firmly on Mark's body even as he swerved dangerously, and fell face first into the ground like a chopped down tree.

And run she did. That's what she was good at. She didn't think about the weight of Mark's weapon tablet clutched to her side, butting against her ribs. All thought and energy was placed with which path was most efficient, what had less debris, less bodies to get around. She couldn't spare any air to talk and was glad, by a modicum, to be outside before the building detonated.

But as they approached, the world began to distort. Stormy assumed it was her nerves finally beginning to break down and approached it as calmly as possible. Her steps began to stagger nevertheless, though, and she slid out from under Gale's arm (hoping Jinhai had worked his magic enough to deal with the bullet wound), gulping deep breaths.

"I'm fine," she murmured absently to Gale, appearing steady for a moment. She was clutching his shoulder now. "I'm fine, you're fine, we're fine, promised . . ." But the portal seemed off. It distorted and was ringed with auras, and the more Stormy looked at it, the dizzier and darker it became.

She clutched both him and the tablet tighter on instinct as if they would be taken away, though the hand on Gale began to drag down his arm as she found the ground, first her knees and the rest of her following suit. Her own bullet wound throbbed painfully, but she couldn't be bothered to address it, the tablet half under her like a stony pillow.

Sleep sounded nice.

They were running towards the lighthouse, Ian's hand gripped tightly in his own, and he was pulling Quinn along too, towards safety, towards home. The portal was ahead, just formed and glimmering but something wasn't right, something was off. Shiloh felt his feet hit the ground, one after the other but something wasn't right, the atmosphere around them had changed, flickering against his consciousness, there and then not and then suddenly, not there at all.

Everything went black and the last thing he saw was the ground rushing towards him, the last thing he felt was the weight of Ian's hand, tugging him back and then it was dark.

There was nothing left but darkness.

The portal was opened, and Lex wasted no time in making it through. The other three would make it through just fine, he thought. Otto was strong enough to carry Peyton, and Rin certainly wouldn't leave either of them behind if the boy began to struggle.

He jumped through, headlong, clutching his payload of disguises close to his body. Grass and dirt and pavement flashed in his view, green and grey and brown all culminating in black.

Home? Hopefully. Passed out, definite-  

[lizbot]

Time was almost out as America entered the lighthouse and raced toward the portal, eyes seeking and finally finding Konstantin. He was near it, just out of the way of the others running past, body poised on the edge of a sprint as he searched the area. Even before she reached him he was moving forward, knowing well how swiftly she'd close the gap, trusting how she'd grab his hand and match his pace going through.

Jordan stayed at the door of the lighthouse, waiting and watching the path as other hunters hurried in, watching for two in particular. He hadn't gotten a good count of everyone who was here, didn't know everyone's names, but he could at least watch for the people he cared about, wait for his guys. If they didn't - he couldn't let his mind even start down that path. He turned his thoughts deliberately away, thinking about the injured already here instead. They'd get back to the island, get them to the infirmary. Not long now.

When Rep and Harrison turned up, Jordan moved to meet them, but his steps faltered and his eyes went wide with horror as he realized who they were carrying, what they were carrying. "Allan? Simon?" His voice stayed very quiet, almost inaudible. It didn't look like any of the blood on Rep or Harrison was their own, but the relief over that was swept away by sheer shock.

The portal formed, and he started to turn toward it.

Things twisted. Accelerated. Warped.

Only when Rep too made sure that Jordan made it out of the buildings did he move to leave, the dying seconds of the countdown ringing out behind him. He was somewhere beyond thinking, concern and grief tangled up together.

The shifting of the world as the portal took them was blissful.
 

[Bittiface]

As soon as the portal was open, Otto surged forward. He had an injured and likely very tired cousin to be seen to, and a certain dark haired friend to smack for her kissy faces. Small and wonderful distractions from the imposing situation.

However, everything began to blur and unfocus as soon as he was in the training fields. He felt weak, wobbly, drifting.

In what little that was left of his will, he slowly brought himself to his knees. He wanted to fall down and collapse, but he had precious cargo to protect. With as much care as his weakening limbs could muster, he set Peyton down. Once he did, everything went black.
