Well. This is as close as they're getting, it seems.

He steps outside, and, "Time, return to your power confined!"

Well that works. How anticlimactic.

He's gonna just. Hang out amongst the cogs for a minute. 

"Whenever you're ready. We still have to get Stiles."

"You okay?"

He pockets the card.

"Let's go rescue Stiles."

"Alistair, later the three of us should meet up at your house. Four of us," he amends hastily. 

"Sure."

He meditates for an initial direction for the Erase.

"Fly, give us wings, release."

The Erase is that-a-way.

Alistair leads.

Scott (and presumably, Sadde) follow.

...there used to be a building here, they're sure of it.

Does anything look it's currently being Erased?

That other building! People are walking out of their houses to gawk.

If it's busy Erasing, this should be easy. 

Erase, do the return thing. 

Nope, it's done before he can finish saying his magical girl sentence.

Now that other building is disappearing, half a mile that way.

Fine by Scott.

He can Fly to that building, and use the magic words again. Again, and again, until he gets Stiles back. 

"I always thought capturing the cards would be more...exciting."

"Exciting how?"

The Erase continues to escape its pursuer!

"I'm not saying I wanted to be a superhero, but I kind of wanted to be a superhero."

Is the card getting faster?

He continues to pursue it.

The card is getting faster, yes.

"I'm sure there'll be some more physically destructive Cards out there you'll be able to save people from. Right now we might need to worry about all these eyewitnesses."She squints at the cardcaptor. "And I don't think that's working."

"No, it's not. We should probably do something."

"Maze, confuse the Erase by surrounding it, release!"
