Bruce

       I woke up, the other guy sensing that something was off with Jana. I got out of bed, careful not to disturb Jinny and headed to the living room to call Tony. I figured he'd probably still be awake and probably working on something. Fortunately, he answered on the first ring.
       "What's shakin'?" I had to smile faintly, since he always answered my calls that way, heading to Jana's room to check on her.
       "Well... This is gonna sound really fucked up... But the other guy's certain something's up with Jana. He just woke me up out of a sound sleep, too." I stopped in the door to her room, muttering a curse when I saw she was gone.
       "That... Isn't good. What's up?"
       "Jana's not in her room." I looked around her room, looking for anything out of place.
       "Already on it, big guy." I heard the sound of him hacking into surveillance systems in the background. "Any idea where she could've gone? Or why?"
       "Not really. But she's had one of the popular kids bullying her more than normal. And I think she's inherited some of Sam's powers." I'd noticed her withdrawing some when things got particularly tense, and the occasional bomf of teleportation coming from her room late at night.
       "It's possible that she could have... Hang on, picking up faint traces of someone having teleported in your place. Had to have been within the last ten or fifteen minutes." The beeping from Tony's end got quicker as he ran some sort of program on his end. "Not picking up where it may've went, though."
       "Shit... Hang on, lemme call you back." I hung up, quickly calling Sam. When it went straight to voicemail, I left a message about what was going on, and asked her to call me back as soon as she could, and headed for Tony's lab. I had to at least try to find her the best I could.
