Miguel's eyes were getting better. Slowly, very slowly. Far slower than he would have liked, or was used to. Sarah had really made a mess of them. He checked every morning when he woke up, and he was currently starting to get back the ability to detect lighter and darker areas. It still hurt, so he wore cloth bandages wrapped around his head and completely covering his eyes. There was no way anyone on this station would give him medical attention, and they'd heal on their own anyway. Eventually. So he covered them up, and let Bonnie's light-spell and Lyla's constant audio description of everything guide him through his days.

He could see people, where they were. And he could see Bonnie and Lyla amazingly well, which was helpful. He could make out outlines of things like walls and doorways. He could see where his phone was, but he couldn't read anything on it. He needed Lyla to describe things for him, her voice low and soft so that he could hear her easily but she wouldn't annoy anyone else if they were around. And she had to read everything out to him. It was a very awkward way of existing, and he wasn't overly fond of it, but it was how it had to be for the time being.

He was still determined to work out a way of getting people from his station to this one, though, and without needing to do swaps. So he went through the ships and scrap components he found in the various docking bays on Wheel 4, and between Lyla and himself, they were sorting out a good amount of useful parts.

He was buried inside part of the engine inside a scrapped ship of some sort, him finding his way around the components with his hands while Lyla described everything to him and answered his questions. Every so often, she would manifest and show him her scan of the components since she was the thing he could see clearest.

"Show me how these fit together, would you?" he asked, holding some sort of glowing cuboid in one hand and the housing that felt like the cuboid should have fit into it in the other. He couldn't see the details, so he needed Lyla to show him where there were any contact points or breakage areas or anything like that. "And what's this made of? I can sort of see all of it."

"Of course. One moment, Miguel."

Weird. Normally it was instantaneous.

Loki smiled softly to himself as the girl caught on. Her mind was quick and her power enough to keep up with what they were doing. It was impressive. "Ah, yes, that is what we are here for. But it would be too much to turn every stone in the universe. We need to know what we are looking for. We need a connection." At this point he nodded towards the unconscious Miguel. "That is one start. The other is you. He is has been your teacher. You know him, way better than I do." He was not interested in making deep connections with most. "So, follow me." The god took their hands and placed them on Miguel's forehead. Hers under his.

"Try it," he said softly. He wanted to give her a chance to see for herself. To feel the bridge that led first to Higgs and then off to somewhere else. To another presence, a familiar presence. Loki's connection with the original Miguel was not strong enough to reach there and his mind wandering skills were not polished enough to ignore the set back. But it was not the only reason, he showed her this. The more power she gained, the more support she could offer later. And Abra, she had both potential and drive to do it.

Much too much, Abra thought. The universe had so many 'stones' where Higgs could have hidden and imprisoned their friends. She followed Loki's lead, touching fake Miguel gently.

Abra reached out through her shine, using the physical contact as a guide to the real Miguel. It was different than finding anyone on the station, or finding Dan back home. She wasn't sure if that was because of Loki, the other universe and the distance between them or a combination of all of it. She managed to gain a vision, blurry at first, of a very still Miguel. "He's dead." She whispered, with a tinge of anger bubbling up. She pushed it back down. Revenge would come later.

When Abra was calm, she saw him breathing. "No, not dead. He's unconscious like this Miguel. We should hurry and bring him home" She looked around at his surroundings in her vision, trying to see where he was. "You see him too, right?" She asked. "How do we get to him?"

The young woman's thinking was quick. She was a natural in using her abilities. "I'm impressed, little sorceress. Now, the question is can you impress me even more. Can you follow the connection into his plane?" he asked softly. It was a huge distance to span. But this was a task even many competent old sorceress could not pull of. Loki himself would struggle to do the task on his own.

	Abra concentrated all her energy into keeping and following the connection with Miguel. Her eyes remained pure white and a trickle of blood fell from her nose. It was further than she had ever reached before, even more than contacting someone on the other side of a station door. Once she was certain she could do it, she answered. "Yes."

	A smile spread on Loki's lips. "Excellent. Go and I'll follow," he said as he observed the changed in her. He wondered what it meant, that trickle of blood. Was it harmful to the little sorceress - using her power? It did not matter right now. He could catch her if she dove too deep. He wouldn't let her get hurt. But it was a mystery, something he would like to know. (Reply to this) (Parent)
