#time barriers

"Fine," Kink said grabbing the two of us. "Let's do this the easy way." 

And then we just stood there like that. 

"Was something supposed to happen? " I asked. 

 "They blocked my time jump, Frank. I can't get us out of here. We're stuck.”

"Blocked it? Can they do that?" 

"Looks like it.”

"We time jumped in here." 

"I think they didn't like my little backwards skip to beat their guy, " she clarified. 

"Does it matter," G'fon said. "We still need to get out of here. "

"He's right," I said. "We need to move." 

All three of us moved quickly out if the room, but we weren't expecting to enter a much smaller room. I was hoping for a hallway and then maybe some stairs or a door outside. "Now what do we do?"

"Find a door," Kink said. 

 "What about these?" 

"Those aren't doors, G'Fon. We can't sneak out of those little things. " 

"No," I said. " I think those are controls." 

"Controls for what?" 

"I have no idea."

"Ok," G'Fon said, pressing one. "Let's figure do out. " 

Suddenly we were moving up at a quick pace. "This is an elevator?" I said. "

Looks like it," Kink said, knocking G'Fon's hands away from the controls. "Now let's see if they can get us out of this place."  

Kink pressed a button and we were no longer moving, but we weren't moving down either. We were moving laterally. "That's not the way elevators are supposed to go," I said. 

 "This is your future, Frank. Everything works differently than you expect."

"You expected this? An elevator that goes sideways?" 

"I expected much worse things to happen than this. If you weren't freaking out about it, it would've barely registered. I'm just waiting for the next horrible thing to happen."
