Rick followed behind Kaitlyn as they strode into the command center. He watched out of the corner of his eye as everyone jumped slightly before watching him with a wary look. Walking over to a bank of monitors, she nodded to the technician.

“How’s are team doing at the site?”

“According to Scattershot, they’ve got a big load of nothing. They can’t seem to find anything at all. Nothing showing up on sensors.”

Rick watched the monitors as the team moved around the area trying to locate the disturbance.

“Is this a live feed?”

The technician looked at Kaitlyn, who nodded, before responding.

“Yes, it’s a live feed.”

“Can you get them up on the radio?”

He glanced at Kaitlyn again, who impatiently waved at him.

Tapping a couple buttons on his panel, Rick heard the connection open. Looking back at Rick, the technician nodded. He looked at Kaitlyn out of the corner of his eye and whispered, “what’s the ice girl’s name?”

“Glaizia.”

Clearing his throat, he raised his voice as he started speaking.

“Uh, Glaizia, can you hear me okay?”

“Who is this and how did you get on this frequency?” she demanded.

“Glaizia, this is HellKat. I’m in the control room with Newton. We’ve come to an understanding, now he’s helping us.”

“So everything’s cool?” she asked. Rick noticed Kaitlyn smiling and realized it was some type of code-phrase they’d come up with in case of trouble.

“Everything is frosty. Thanks for asking.”

Rick watched the giant woman visibly relax, confirming his suspicions. Looking over to Kaitlyn, she waved for him to continue.

“Okay, Glaizia? I have a quick question for you. Does your ice disappear because you stop concentrating on it, or because you stop feeding it negative energy?”

He noticed everyone’s eyes widen from the question, but he ignored it.

“Neither. It’s persistent until I remove it.”

“Good. This is what I want you to do. You see where that one technician is with that weird wand looking thingamajig? What I want you to do is, about two feet above him, to his left at 10 o’clock, four feet away, I want you to generate a four foot diameter ice block for about a half-second. I’m not sure how it’s going to react to your powers, so you need to make sure it’s for no longer than a half-second. Can you do that?”

“On it.”

They all watched her walk over to the area in question and waved the other technicians in the area away. Once they were at a safe distance, she held her hands up. A large block of ice formed in the air. A split-second later, Glaizia let out a loud squeak. Before the ice block vanished, a weird distortion was seen embedded in the ice. Shaking her hands, she looked back over toward the camera.

“That friggin’ hurt. What the hell is it?”

“Damn,” he whispered under his breath.

“What? What is that thing?”

Rick looked over at Kaitlyn. He noticed everyone was now staring at him openly as he responded.

“That, unfortunately, is some type of rupture or void in the fabric of space, best I can figure.
