[By this point, Alex has backed himself into a corner of the room to be out of the way. His skull feels like it's about to split in half, but he doesn't want to think about what it means if Kurt stops poofing around the room. It doesn't help that he can count on one hand the number of times he's poked at probabilities connected to people's powers. And trying to find a mobile probability that keeps relocating every few seconds?]
Come on, Mr Wagner. ... Kurt. You can do this. Just focus on this place. I just have to find the right probability, nudge it just a bit. But I need you to stay here long enough for me to find it and push on it. Stay with us, Kurt.
[Alex forces his vision to narrow to just the probabilities around the room, ignoring the physical bodies and objects they cling to. It's like watching a million fireflies zipping around in a massive swarm. There, that cluster, there for only a few seconds, is Kurt. And now the cluster is over there. Alex mentally grabs for the cluster, trying to sort through it as quickly as he can. But then it's up by the ceiling and he's chasing after it all over again. But each time, he gets a little closer, sorts through a few more fireflies that aren't the one he's looking for.]
