Chapter Text
Footsteps softly echoed through the halls of the empty museum.
Mist was still not used to this place,well not the place so much as what she was doing in it now.
The new curator of the museum.
She looked at her shiny new badge and lanyard.
Her name in a fancy print alongside her title.
It sounded so grand and lofty but she didn't think of it that way not after who ran it before.
When the kind old curator Mr Smith had announced his retirement many people were already clamoring for his position to be filled.
Imagine their surprises when he endorsed his assistant of three years to be his replacement,quite unusual to be sure.
And to the loud disapproval of several people saying she couldn't do this because she didn't have experiance,she didn't have the right credentials and the unwarranted and rather nasty comments about how obviously someone like her who doesn't 'communicate right' can't do this sort of job.
That one hurt more then anything else.
Mr Smith dismissed them,saying she was more then qualified and he had personally trained her himself.
She had no idea what he did or if he pulled some strings but all the anger was drowned out by a wave of people who also endorsed her and one thing lead to another.
A whole museum to look after and care for,with help of course but the pressure of running the important parts of the place by herself was felt like a heavy weight.
Mr Smith said that he was confident she'll do fine,Mist I've seen you come here ever since you were in fourth grade and your passion hasn't faded since then he'd said.
She'd also spent many hours with him these last few years handling the delicate artifacts with the utmost care and translating ancient tablets,among other things.
The only thing she was a little upset about was how this was going to effect her art,granted it was a side job more then anything but she does have some of her pieces in the gallery section and had managed to sell them before as well.
Which since she was running that half of the building as well now left less time for her personal art projects.
Combining an art gallery and a museum that's South Park for you.
Maybe she could make some replicates of things for visitors to interact with or to sell in the gift shop,that might help with things.
But she'd worry about that later for now she needs to plan her first exhibit.
It had been kept a secret both it and that she was in the position now,to keep things from getting too crazy and the nosy people from city hall off their cases about how blah blah we need to increase tourism blah blah why aren't you all working faster all you have to do is display the items?
Spoken like someone who'd never tried to get artifacts ready for a museum.
She'd only told one person and swore him to secrecy about her new job and what she was planning and frankly other then her staff who she hasn't formally spoken to yet she'd like to keep it that way for the most part.
Now the question was what to display? She didn't know anyone well enough that she trusted to help her handle the bigger artifacts so for now just small items would be best.
Well they did have some new jewelry they just got on loan from that one place she could use,easy to put together and the contents were said to have belonged to a nearly forgotten pharaoh and his queen.
Mist opens the door to her office and sits down to sketch out some details.
It had the usual things you'd find from the nobility of that time necklaces and bracelets of fine gold and precious Lapis Lazuli.
And what she could describe as a makeup box.
Combs,tiny jars and brushes with a small silver viewing disk,not unlike what a modern beauty kit has,other then the items being made of fine materials and decor to indicate the owner was of high status.
And built to last,which along with the dry desert helped preserved it further.
What made this set a little unusual was the inclusion of some non native region gemstones and materials as well,which indicated some trade during that reign.
Which tells her that this pharaoh had some modest success if his queen and court could have that in their personal items.
She continued making notes until her thoughts were interrupted by someone tapping on her door,the open door when did that happen?
"Knock Knock working late I see?~"
Kenny?!
Wait how did he get in her she had locked all the doors and the night guard wouldn't be here for another half hour.
"Kenny...Did you break in?"
He grins,face partially obscured by his jacket.
"Nooo~ I prefer the term visiting my friend who works too much."
You're one to talk Mr I do half the odd jobs in south park
She sighs and starts gesturing.
You are going to get in trouble you know
"When am I not?~"
Well he has a point there.
But regardless she needs to emphasize the importance of this exhibit.
She pulls out a white board and dry eraser.
"Oh no,the board looks like I'm in trouble now." He's still smiling.
Look Kenny this is super serious,this first exhibit has to go well and I'm worried
It's not about it being my first one either,how I got this job wasn't exactly the usual way
So there's a lot of people who are waiting for me to screw up big so they can have an excuse to try and get rid of me
What if some crime happens that could ruin everything
I could get in trouble and the museum could too
Kenny reads over the words,expression unreadable.
He's been trying to keep things lighthearted but seems Mist was more stressed out then he thought.
He'd heard all about the drama he'd had with taking over the place and how the mayor had been on their asses too.
But that was a good point if something bad happens it won't end well for the museum or Mist.
However he wasn't going to let that happen,sure he didn't personally care that much about the museum but it was important to his friend.
And he didn't want him to lose his job,he knew better then anyone how rough that was...
So as himself and his alter ego he'll help him out.
But right now Mist needs Kenny.
"Okay okay,I'm trying to lighten the mood is all.."
"You've been pretty stressed out."
It's obvious isn't it?
He watched him lean back into his chair and sigh,saying nothing.
Mist does speak some now but...lately he's been quieter then usual.
Maybe something else will take his mind off of the looming dread
"Hey now don't worry."
"How about you tell me about this exhibit?"
He blinks,thinking and Kenny holds a breath.
Well I do have this amulet I'm going to showcase with these other pieces of jewelry
She shows him the concept of the jewelry display.
"Nice...so can I get a little sneak preview?"
Kenny those are in the back room where we clean,research and catalog artifacts
Not to mention it's also where we keep all the other items on loan
Which means it's not open to the public and staff only
Public being you
Kenny pouts and pulls the bottom of his parka down so she can see his attempt at a puppy dog face.
"Aw come on please~"
She narrows her eyes and tries to harden her stare.
But he pushes back.
"Pleaseee with some cherries and coke on top~"
And unfortunately for her it was working.
She can't resist his true face,he had always been cute,now that he was taller,blonde hair peeking from his hood and he'd gotten even more attractive as he grew up,that little crush she's had for so long is now flaring up full force.
Mist has no idea if he knows she's been attracted to him on and off but he does sure know how to get her to cave in and bend the rules.
But then again isn't she the one who makes the rules for this building? Within reason of course.
Screw it then,Kenny was trustworthy and wouldn't try to do anything
Kenny waits for her response,maybe Mist wasn't going to show him after all?
Alright I'll show you
"Sweet!"
She holds up a hand.
However ground rules
Do not touch anything unless I say it's fine and more importantly do not tell anyone about what we have back here or that I let you see the exhibit early
Because if they hear I did they'll have my head which means in short terms the other museums will not let us borrow their things which will lead to many problems for me
"Well maybe if you made me one of your crew we wouldn't have to worry about that huh." He winks.
Kenny do you have time for that between your other odd jobs
"Ah well.."
We'll talk about this later,come
He lets her take his hand and lead him into the back rooms,boxes upon boxes were stacked up around almost to the ceiling in some places,even a few large wooden crates.
Mist takes him past all that into a smaller room toward the right side of the one they were in.
Some tables and chairs were around along with equipment and tools used for cleaning and examining and small glass cases stood around in empty places.
Cluttered but still organized enough with the small space they were in being the most clean.
"Wow behind much?" He teased. Mist didn't appreciate the prodding.
She gives him a dirty look.
"I'm one person and not just anyone can touch this."
"For legal reasons,so I've put most of my focus into our loaned treasures here."
He watches her as she snapped on some rubber gloves,rummaging carefully through a box full of bubble wrapped items.
"Huh so bubble wrap is used to protect artifacts." He mused
She feels more at ease,so she starts speaking.
"Yep. It was used as wallpaper when it was first invented before they discovered it was good for protecting fragile items."
"Hard to believe huh?"
Kenny looks at the other small items Mist had placed in the cases earlier.
He saw among the contents the cosmetic box and was that a board game?
Huh he had to admit that he was seeing the appeal of why he liked this so much,it was fascinating in it's own way.
She glances over at him.
"it's what you think it is. Humans haven't changed a lot either."
"We like games and making ourselves look pretty."
Mist started going into the Egyptian history of the practical and beautifying use of make up there in ancient times.
Kenny tuned out most of it but he was enjoying how this history talk was making Mist open up and speak so much more then usual.
With such details at that,was he always this meticulous?
He thinks to all the games they used to play,before when he was silent as a rock.
No words were needed however,the energy was there along with the action,it showed more then words could.
Mist was kind,playful and strong.
That hadn't changed much,except how he now is willing to speak but most everyone got one or two word responses.
When the shift happened he wasn't sure but as they got closer he opened up and hearing his voice for the first time was still a memory he cherished.
It was when he learned Mist's name.
"Found it."
His attention is snapped back into the present by Mist speaking directly to him.
She slowly unwrapped the object.
Kenny waits as Mist takes off the tape and removes it from it's bubble casing,holding it out for him to see in both her hands.
A round circle of some sort of glass or was it a gemstone? About the size of an orange,dulled from thousands of years but even so it still had a sliver of the shine it once had.
It was set in gold with smaller gems around it in certain places namely the eye of Horus along with some hieroglyphs he couldn't read,Ankh were also carved on the front around the disk.
He looked closer and saw that it was a pendant if the hook at the top was any indication.
"Beautiful yes?" Mist was smiling.
Not as beautiful as you..
His thoughts twist his stomach into knots at Mist's growing excitement,he was getting caught up in his emotions again.
"It belonged to a queen...Amunarahaphsep"
"Was a gift from her husband...Tuthothamun according to their tomb paintings and the scrolls inside it was one of her most treasured possessions."
"Her mummy was wearing it over the burial coverings so they removed it without any damage to the body."
"Well she had taste I guess,I'm not really into that sort of thing."
Mist looked annoyed.
It's likely he placed it on her mummy himself before burial since she passed before he did.
"And it's more then a simple pendant,he had this made with the best craftsman in the kingdom,finest materials and put her favorite stones on it,along with a poem he wrote himself on the back."
She flips it over and reads the inscription.
My queen,my beloved the one who sets my heart above on the skies of Nut
Is there any in the land more fair then thee?
No for mine love is for thine eyes only as the light of Ra does shine every day let it be so
Until we both descend to Osiris's kingdom in the field of reeds together
"He was a real romantic I see." Cheeks heating up as he continued to look at Mists face.
"Not much is known about his rule,for one he was still a child when he ascended the throne, but the tomb had many records of his personal writings and those of his court,what we do agree on is most of all he loved knowledge,his queen and was also rumored to be a sorcerer."
"See the orb in the pendant? We aren't quite sure what it's made of,it almost looks like mother of pearl but is smooth like glass."
"We have yet to see anything else like it in other treasures from the old kingdom or later periods."
"According to one of the advisers writings he was a clever child and got it from the god Thoth as a promise for building him a grand temple when he began ruling,supposedly the writing also says this orb has the ability to reveal the true light within someone but how or what it means by that isn't clear."
"If you can believe the story he says before he made it into a pendant for her he used it's powers to make a grand kingdom."
The more Kenny looked at the stone the more he thought about how it sounded familiar to something he had heard described recently.
By Professor Chaos of all people.
Wait a minute.
Now that he thinks harder....last time he eavesdropped on him in his lair,Chaos had been ranting to his general about how he was finally going to get the upper hand on the freedom pals because he was making some sort of machine that needed an ancient artifact called the mirror of Thoth to work.
How or why he'd be looking for something that veered into magic and myth when all he seemed to care about was science and robots he had no idea but as Mist kept explaining the info about the history of this pendant from the writings in the tomb the more concerned and uneasy he started to feel.
Kenny knew that there was real magical artifacts and rituals,his own birth and curse being the results of that after all.
Whether this mirror actually did anything or not,the fact that the description more and more matched what little he heard as it was being revealed to him and that Mist was currently in possession of said item was alarming.
Not just because he was his friend or that it could put him in danger but also that he had no way to tell Mist not to display this without it causing suspicion from him and the others in the museum without explaining in a way that wouldn't reveal he knew more about this then he should.
And if Mysterion showed up out of nowhere to tell him it wouldn't bode well for his secret either at best he would think Kenny had broken his trust,after all no one else was supposed to know about this pendant being here other then Mist and the people they had borrowed it from in the first place.
It would put Mist in danger as well if he knew who his hero persona was.
Kenny are you listening?
"H-huh?" He blinks then stared at Mist,having zoned out for a few minutes.
He sighs.
"Fine I'll tell it one more time and shorten it,please pay attention alright?"
"So taken from one of his personal writings is how he got the orb from Thoth."
After the last stone of the building had been placed the king,now sixteen stood alone in the temple of Thoth and beseeches him to honor their promise
My father your son asks that you give upon me your favor,I have done as you asked of me no lies are before thee,Ma'at herself would say it is so
Thoth appears and answers,Indeed my son you have done so and I will give mine favor as promised for what is god or king without his words kept?
From his own hand he presents a small orb to him,it shines like a star and pale rainbow colors dance within the circle
With this light you will know all truths of yourself,no knowledge shall be hidden and what could be will be made so,that is my gift to you
Now go with my blessings and you shall make Egypt even grander then it was before
As the king bows in gratitude Thoth returns to his domain promise fulfilled
"So that's the gist of it. Quite a tale isn't it?"
Kenny hopes that Mist hasn't seen how his face lost color as the story went on,the comparison to what Chaos said about the so called mirror had gotten even more pronounced and eerie.
This was a problem now.
When Chaos learns about this...and he will,he's going to pull no punches to get this necklace
"I'll stay with you on the opening day here."
Huh where did this come from?
Mist is surprised by the sudden outburst.
"Well it's...you've been so stressed out and worried so I think it's best if I come with you for your special day."
"Kenny..."
Mist smiled,it was a very small one but Kenny's heart leaped.
"I'd like that yes."
She looks at the time.
....!
"Crap! Kenny we need to get you out the back door here the guards going to be here any minute."
"I don't have time to come up with an excuse."
She hurried him out the door saying she'll text him details later.
Kenny exhales in relief before remembering how a supervillain might crash the museum in the next couple days.
He needs to call the freedom pals and tell them everything,he waits until he gets home before pulling out their special communicator.
Fortunately he gets a hold of Doctor Timothy first.
"Doc we got a situation here..."
Kenny isn't sure what they're going to do but they need to make a plan fast.
For Mist's sake.
It's not very eventful leading up to the exhibit,he was given all the info later that same night.
But the modest description in the local papers and gossip had him on high alert for any hints of Chaos.
Maybe he wouldn't put two and two together and it would all be fine.
However this was also Chaos and nothing was ever simple with him.
On the morning of the big day he focuses on their plan.
He tries to calm down as he entered the building,looking for Mist.
Well just in case Human Kite,Toolshed and himself as Mysterion would be on standby.
Mist is rocking on her feet waiting nervously for Kenny,she'd hidden her lanyard and keys under her hoodie,it was too much pressure to reveal herself right now so the guide had been told that she wouldn't be mentioning the new curator and to just focus on the presentation.
Some people had come early,he wasn't in sight yet.
Please please don't flake on me Kenny...
"Well heya there Mist."
Startled she turns to see Butters,one of her dear friends.
He's beaming at her with that familiar bright smile of his.
"Not a surprise to see you here you've always liked this place yeah?"
She nods.
"I heard there's gonna be some neato exhibit by this new curator fella so I wanted to check it out,I figured I'd run into you."
It had been a while since she'd seen him,Butters had been working at that science lab or whatever it was and she'd been doing this for some time now.
"Yes.." She trailed off flustered and nervous.
Butters puts his hand on his mouth in a playful dramatic way.
"Aw are you still shy Mist~"
"It's okay I'll talk for both of us. Just like we always used to do."
Butters...
Even now he seemed to know how to put her at ease
"Are you waiting for someone? You looked like it so I thought I'd ask."
"Kenny.."
"Oh,I'm glad you're still good friends."
"You know Mist,I've missed you a lot,we should hang out sometime soon."
She'd like that to be honest,how long had it been since they'd done something like that?
Another nod and he smiles in response.
She hears some shuffling and the guide has pulled the cloth off the cases now since it's almost time to start.
Butters and Mist both look over at them,she can see her carefully placed displays clearly even from several feet away and she feels a wave of relief at how much nicer it looks out in the light.
What she misses during her observations of the display is how Butters upon seeing the pendant in the middle,shifts his expression from his usual friendliness to something else.
A small mischievous grin widens and he mutters almost inaudible.
Finally I found it
"Um..what...?"
"Oh sorry,I'm just pondering yeah.."
"I gotta get to work soon here but I'll text you later about hanging out alright?"
He smiles a friendly genuine smile once more at Mist.
She waves goodbye.
Kenny arrives a few minutes later right before it's going to start.
"You came..."
"Of course Mist. Why I'm always coming for you." He laughs as Mist punches his arm.
"I kid I kid,you need some more humor in your life."
She sighs and rolled her eyes but Kenny can see the subtle amusement around the eye expressions.
Both are quiet as the guide starts the exhibits explanation of the artifacts and when she gets to the main one the pendant it starts out normal enough.
"Now here we have the crowing jewel of this,it's a necklace that was a gift from the pharaoh to his queen and...
She doesn't get to finish because the lights start flickering and go out to the shock of everyone present.
Kenny tensed,seems that his fears were warranted after all,he discreetly presses the button on his communicator and tries to quickly assess how to get Mist out of possible harm.
He grabs her arm and puts her under a clothed table.
"Hey..I got a bad feeling,hide I'm going to sneak out and get help.." He whispers and Mist gives a thumbs up.
Kenny is glad for the darkness covering him and he melts into shadows to a closed room so he can change as fast as he can.
Kite and Toolshed should be about to arrive so Chaos wouldn't completely get the drop on them.
Mist waits,her own intuition telling her that things were about to go very wrong,as the modest crowd was chatting nervously and the guide tried to keep things calm.
The lights came on again suddenly followed by several people in costumes out of nowhere.
With Professor Chaos himself appearing in a burst of lightning a few moments later.
Oh..oh no..this is so so bad
My short lived career in this museum halted by a supervillain
She wanted to faint,but she stays calm and peeks through the corner of the tablecloth.
"Well...well...well. What do we have here?"
He looks over the crowd,some people are starting to freak out,others are frozen in fear as his minions close around the area and on them.
The guide manages to keep her nerve and is bold enough to speak to him.
"C-chaos? Just what are you doing here? We have nothing that you want."
"Oh but that's where you're wrong my dear."
"You do have something I want,something I've been looking for quite a while now."
"W-what...?" She croaks.
He pulls out a small machine that sorta looked like a ray gun from a space show,Mist could see a slot at the top,the right size for the pendant to fit into she realized.
Not good at all
Chaos points to the case.
"Now I know these are made of very durable and annoyingly hard to break glass...
so..I'm asking nicely."
He glances at her name tag.
"Lilly...give me the key to the case or things will get...chaotic in here."
The crowd starts getting more panicked now.
"I...I can't."
"I admire your stubbornness but if you continue to refuse then..."
"N-no really I can't...I don't have the key's..only one person does.."
The professor had a look of actual surprise on his face,well the part that could be seen.
He hadn't expected this.
"Who does?"
"The curator..."
"I..see,it all makes sense now..."
He smiles that wide grin of his.
"So...where and who is he then?"
"I don't know...I..I haven't even met him yet..none of us have..he isn't here today either..."
Mist slows her breathing nervous,clutching the master key for the exhibits through her hoodie.
It wasn't a lie on Lilly's part,she really had no idea she was her boss even though the two had met and spoken a few times now.
She must have thought she was another regular staff member.
Chaos was still smiling but it was strained now.
He's quiet for several tense moments then he starts laughing,soft at first but then it gets loud and somewhat manic.
" Hahaha,of course...he wouldn't be here today when I so desperately need his help...oh when I find him...I'm going to...heheh..."
Mist felt so much worse now,her knees like jelly at what he was going to do.
She had heard a lot of things about Chaos,one being that he tried to minimize harm to civilians but he still had potentially dangerous electronic and lighting powers.
But...she'd had yet to have a close encounter with the villain herself,even though she'd been here since before he appeared.
The villain had first started making trouble when she'd entered high school and the superheros showed up not long after that,other minor villains and weirdos did too after more time passed but he was the 'main show' so to speak.
Quite a few people were actually scared of him,and she can see how with this moment right here,it's clear to her whatever he was wanting to do his patience was thinning.
If he gets upset inside the museum,oh the damages could be very bad.
"Well now there's going to be chaos today after all."
"Hmm now what should I do?"
"Oh...I know."
He points to one of them,it's Kevin Stoley she remembers he was that nerdy Star Trek obsessed boy.
Kevin has a look of pure panic on his face but before he can react or try to run two minions grab him and drag him up to Chaos.
"Wh-what are you gonna do to m-me?"
Chaos cracks his knuckles and she can see his gloves sparking a little with electricity.
Mists heart drops to her stomach hands clammy,maybe she should reveal herself to keep everyone else safe.
Even if this could tank her job,if he was going to hurt people then...
"It's simple I'm going to give you all a super static charge,then you'll get shocked for the next several hours."
What.
Kevin's eyes widen in horror.
"Y-you can't do that I'm wearing a sweater today!"
"Oh yes I can~"
"Maybe I'll even put a balloon on your head too~"
"Ah! No no..this is cruel and unusual!"
Kevin's wriggling in the minions grip now.
He laughs and slowly leans in clearly enjoying this and drawing it out longer.
"Hope you all like not being able to walk on your carpets~"
Maybe this wasn't as serious a situation as she thought.
Other then him trying to steal the artifacts of course but this...it was?
She wasn't sure how to react.
Kevin and the rest of the group was shrieking dramatically and if it wouldn't have uncovered her hiding place she might have laughed from the sheer ridiculousness of this whole spectacle..
But then people burst through the door to the much needed relief of Kevin and the others.
"Stop right there Professor Chaos!"
Human Kite and Toolshed are in unison followed by Mysterion dropping in from the other side of the room.
"No idea what you think you're doing but we're putting a stop to it right now!" Mysterion's gruff voice pierced through the room.
The minions holding Kevin let go of him as they turn to face the heroes and Chaos puts his hands on his hips frowning.
"Hmm...why am I not surprised you'd show up to ruin my plans?"
"But if it's a fight you want...assemble minions!"
Chaos and his minions charge at the freedom pals and everyone else scrambles to get out of the way yelling.
Electric blasts and lasers go flying and Mist is so glad that she insisted they get that special made glass,it wasn't indestructible but the force needed to break it was not something that could easily happen,however this was a super powered fight so how it would hold up to this fighting was unknown.
Mysterion was throwing minions around and to his credit they were trying their best to not hit anything or anyone.
Screws and other tools were going all over so she decided to make a run to avoid friendly fire from Toolshed.
She runs for it avoiding other people but some minions see her and try to block her.
"H-hey where did you come from? Come here!"
Mist dodged their grabs and she jumped back,thinking fast she slides a chair into them tripping them on the ground.
Heh heh
This reminds her of those times she played fantasy battles.
She continues heading toward the other crowd directing panicked people along toward the exit.
Several people managed to leave the mayhem but a lot were still in here.
One of Toolsheds power screws ended up lodged in the pendant cases glass during the fighting,Chaos noticed and sneaked over while his minions kept the heroes busy and the civilians were still in a tizzy.
He jostled the screw until it made the hole bigger before he removed it then punched the weakened glass with his gauntlet glove making it big enough for him to put his hand in and take the pendant.
Chaos starts putting it in the machine,Mysterion looks over and he rushes toward him.
"Wait...stop!"
He's a little too late and Chaos now has it inserted into the machine and is pointing it right at him.
"Chaos what is that?!"
"In simple terms Mysterion this machine reveals the inner heart of someone."
"What does that even mean Chaos?"
"Hmm,don't know the writing wasn't specific."
"Wait...you built a machine for this and you don't even know what it does?!"
"I know right? It's chaos in it's purest form~"
Mysterion was very angry now,he caused all this panic in the process also ruined his friends exhibit,potentially affecting his job and while he tended to be more lenient with Chaos because of how his 'crimes' mostly tended to be annoying pranks more then anything this time he had pushed him too far today and he was going to show him.
"How about I test it...you can be the first one~"
Chaos aimed it right at him but he swiftly tackled him to the ground.
But he wasn't fast enough and a blast went off in the process,he did manage to knock it from his grasp though.
The two watched from the ground as a beam of pure white light bounced off the glass and other reflective surfaces around the room,minions and other people took cover as it flew through the air until it was right in the path of Kevin.
Kevin had no time to dodge but he felt himself being moved out of the way.
Mist had been standing near him and had pushed him out of the way in time but now in the beams aim took it full force.
It hits her in the stomach.
She stands there for a few moments feeling nothing.
But then she feels her entire body break out in a cold sweat and feels dizzy.
The room starts to spin and fade as she slumped down onto the ground unconscious.
Everyone is in stunned silence and both Mysterion and Chaos had horrified looks on their faces.
Is..was that Mist?
Mysterion jumps up and runs toward Mist forgetting all about Chaos followed by Kite the teams medic.
No....no..NO NO NO!
This wasn't supposed to happen I was suppose to protect you
Did...I? Mist...
What did I do...I..I didn't mean...
Chaos had no time to process this,whatever happened the heroes were taking care of Mist.
So he flees teleporting himself and his minions away before they can be caught.
Mysterion hovered over Human Kite as he looks over Mist,taking his pulse.
Toolshed now holding the machine had removed the pendant and stands by watching the two.
"He's stable...but there's no telling what that beam did.
"We should take him to our medical bay just in case."
Tool chimes in. 'Right we should bring this along too."
Mysterion picked up Mist in his arms,cradling his friend gently.
Hang in there buddy,we're going to get you help..
