She panted as she felt another tug in her mind, splintering pain shooting through every nerve in her body; snapping her eyes shut, she hissed through clenched teeth, “Four hundred miles off the coast of Peru. Straight out from Talara.” The pain ceased and she sunk down in the chair, fingers twitching as her body began to heal itself from the shock. Warm hands settled along her arms, and she opened her purple eyes, full of pleading and worry as she whispered, “Wally, I do not think I can do this.”

He grimaced, one hand raising to brush against her cheek, swiping the sweat pouring from her forehead. “You can,” he assured. “You’re the only one who can connect across the oceans simultaneously.” Wally bent down, brushing his lips to her cheek, then to her lips. “I’m right here with you.” His hand shifted, one cupping her face, the other squeezing her hand where it rested on the armrest. “I’ve got you.”

“There is so much in every location. So many voices. So many—”

Wally squeezed her hand tighter, pressing his forehead to hers. “Focus on me. Focus on right here. Right now.” Inhaling deeply, she let out a shaky breath through her mouth. “Okay?”

She nodded. “Okay. Let us keep going.”
