December 11th, Chicago. Base. Hospital.

Amante grunted and disregarded Ryan's little retort but, before he could respond with some heckling Ryan was dragged off. Damn. With an armful of pillows, he headed back to Alice and found her in her therapy room. He wasn't supposed to go in there with her yet and angrily complied, going into a side room with a viewing glass. He started to set down the pillows onto a chair and moved over to the window to watch her get ready to start. He knew he could go in there after she started up or if something went wrong.

Alice wasn't complying well with the nurses or the doctors. She didn't have much energy and didn't seem to want to partake in the therapy. But, even though they asked, she did not give an answer and they continued forward. With a nurse on each side of her, they held her arm and let her grip them as they urged her upward. Her feet did not take to the floor and they had to work to get them to lay flat and then help her put her weight down-

A horrid scream sounded, startling the nurses. They dropped her to the floor where she lay, features twisted and mouth open wide from the horrific pain that tore at her legs. The scream travaled out of the room and lowered to a gurgled whisper and then it made it to him- screaming out in agony and desperation for him to find her and help her- save her. He was the only one to hear it's final message.


RYAN!

It was his name and had it been any louder or even audible to the ear, it would have deafened him. Even in his mind it was enough to jerk him around, pull and push him all at once.

The little shock wave that followed shook the room, thrusting everything except the male and his doctor against the wall further away from him. The glass window cracked and burst into dust that, when it hit the floor, transformed into metallic beads that spread across the floor.

Amante went into shock, eyes widening as he looked on. His body tried to leap out into the room but something held him back and everything darkened. "What? Alice? ALICE!?"

The shadows behind him ebbed and a small shape slid out with glowing red eyes that calmed, not glowing quite as brightly. "What is happening, why can't I-" "You need to realize that the world is not yours to shape." He managed to turn his head to look at the figure and then looked forward, hands laying on the glass. "What have you done- what did you do!?" "This is the perfect time to bring you a realization. I want you to watch what happens."

One of the nurses had gone to try to help Alice up but before she could get close enough to touch the ivory girl, the nurse had been thrown straight into a wall far away from her by nothing but the air- maybe something invisible though that was unlikely.

Amante struggled in this... place, this alternate dimension, if anything, as he was being forced to watch Alice writhe on the floor in pain as the doctor and nurses struggle to find out what happened while the room suddenly fell dense and the floor began to... liquify.

The floor around her was safe but the rest of the room was like a thick putty. The nurses struggled against it, likely losing a shoe or two, but they were not able to fall into it. The windows suffered the same fate as the one in Ryans room. They transformed, quickly, into a pile of metal beads that sank into the putty-like floor. The room was not immediately dangerous but it was not exactly safe either.
