Wow, that's a lot of texts from her.

He blocks the number and goes back to looking for reactions to the dungeon in the news - seems like it's only being reported on vaguely - probably the city isn't being cooperative with journalists since Skitter and Lucien's involvement is embarrassing but really he'd expect Tattletale to be more on top of getting this covered. 

He in fact has a text from her, maybe that'll explain why she's busy.

hey whats up

I'm helping a friend. Sorry, can't say specifics. Will let you know when I know when I'll be back. Sorry about leaving so fast.

oh a secret friend?

One who wants privacy right now, anyways.

Im calling master/stranger alert on how you're acting right now

Well, if he was calm before he's definitely not now.

Aknowledged, what are your orders?

"...Let me have your phone, I'm worried it's bugged."

That's not on the flowchart! He presses send.

"Your phone. Now. The people I'm running from tortured me, you can get a new phone later." Urgent, urgent, urgent -

Report about whoever you are with

Lucien feels extremely terrible about this but he's still going to start typing a reply because his feelings aren't on the flowchart.

- the phone flies out of his hand and into Chelsea's.

So that's what her esper power is and that's why she's got a headache. It's not a bad headache, now, just a twinge.

She throws the phone out the car window.

And he should be guilty about making her do that.

He does! He feels really really bad about it and blames himself! 

"Panacea I need your phone, master/stranger protocols."

She reaches over and -

- Lucien slumps in his seat, unconscious.

"Thank you, dear."

"Of course."

"The telekinesis is new. I'm an 'esper' now, apparently. It gives me a headache, I guess sort of like Thinkers get - can you solve that? If you can I don't need him and can drop him off somewhere."

"Probably?" She holds out her hand.

Hand. "It's not nearly as bad as it was the first time, but it's making me nervous."

It's not nearly as invasive as what she did earlier anyways....

"Did that work?"

"No."

"Hrm.... yeah I see over there... that?"

"Still no. I think guiding will probably work while he's out - how long will he be out?"
