"Alright let's try this again."

Eric would wiggle his fingers to warm up before pointing to the side. The air in front of his finger would ripple and rip apart opening another hole in space. Just like it had thousands of times before throughout his life. This time he wasn't happy with the result.

"Dammit."

The portal would close and he would try it again. This time switching the direction that he opened the portal from in relation to him.

"Having trouble?"

Kanon is sitting nearby, just watching while she sips on a slurpee.

"Ugh!"

Just another portal.

"Kind of. I'm trying to test a theory. I'm close, I can feel it. But it's just not coming out right."

To many options perhaps.

Then he stopped for a second, having registered more than just the words. Slowly he'd turn to look at the source of the voice.

"Kanon!?"

She was in Paradigm!?

She gives him a bright grin and brief wave.

"Hi."

She chews idly on the straw tip.

"What's the theory?"

"Uhhhh."

He was just shocked at seeing her. He lost his words.

"You can pick your jaw up at anytime."

She winks playfully.

"Sorry, just. Didn't expect to see you here."

What were they talking about? Oh yeah!

"Uh, basically the relationship of how my portals interact with space time. I'm trying to connect two points in prime space, but I keep missing the mark. I've never had it connect in Prime space."

Since normally he just pulled out objects, but with his and Eliott's trek drawing nearer he wanted to practice creating portals for travel.

She blinks.

"Uuuuhhhh... like a wormhole?"

"Kind of. The working theory I have is that time and space are not linear like we typically imagine. But are rather stacked on top of each other. And in between each layer are an infinite amount of sub layers representing possibility This is how we have other universes. So for instance there may be a universe where you're hair is a different color. Or a universe where you are an evil dictator."

He wasn't sure if she was following.

"So I'm trying to punch through the layers from our world here, to another part of our world here. Rather than simply opening up a portal to a possibility, or the Nexus. The Nexus would be the glue that holds the layers together. A world between worlds if you will."

"So like... stargate."

She's following along in the most vague sense of the word.

"But why?"

"I suppose."

He nodded.

"Why what?"

"Why are you trying to poke holes into other dimensions?"

She sips the slurpee.

"That usually goes bad in the movies."

"Because something came out once. And I need to understand how this all works so it doesn't happen again."

"So... cause something came out of one, you're practicing so that someone can go through one..."

She gives him a rather dumbfounded look, hoping that it's not as stupid as it sounds.

"People can already go through one. I'm trying to practice keeping it on the same plane though. It's about knowing exactly where the portal is going to let out rather than a vague idea of what I want."

So not quite as stupid as it sounded.

"Okaaaay..."

She swears this is how dimensional invasion movies start.

"For work. Or when I'm bored."

She chews on some ice.

"Mine doesn't really have end of the world potential. At most I give you a bad headache. Or maybe temporary blindness and deafness."

"Isn't that all the more reason for me to learn as much as I can about my power though?"

Who knew what other Eric's were up to. If anything.

"I guess."

She sips on her slurpee to quiet herself. She has a sneaky feeling the "or don't use it" wouldn't go over well.

He'd try opening another portal next to Kanon. Still just the one though.

Once she notices what's happening, she does a butt scoot away.

The portal closes and he sighs.

"Layers. Layers. Don't think of it as close."

He closes his eyes and takes a deep break.

He'd extend his hand forward toward the main building. The space in front of him ripping and tearing into a hole in space. Another tear forming right behind him.

"H-holy shit!"

"Ummmmm... is that supposed to happen?"

It doesn't look like it, looks like a bad drug trip.

"Yes!"

He puts his arm through one portal and it comes out the other.
