[LN] Thank Goodness We're Well-rounded Characters

Kon was reading at relative superspeed. It wasn't at his usual brisk pace, because he found that the limitations of his powers meant he couldn't retain the knowledge for more than a few minutes at his usual speeds, so he had to slow it down a little, but he was still thumbing through far faster than some of the others were taking just to go through the study guides they'd quickly procured.

"Is it just the fact I'm reading this as superspeed or does this story make no sense?" Kon said, as he thumbed through page after page.

Another reality shard had fallen away and now that their brands had signaled it, it was time to go dimension-hopping. Fortunately, it was a very small shard in the middle of the wilderness in Siberia and the area of effect was spreading slowly, so they had time to prepare.

With his otherworldly wisdom, Manny had managed to help out on this one, communicating some clues about the world they were about to enter by flashing the image of a cover of a book.

A fairly terrible book. Apparently they were entering the world it was based on.

So they were doing their homework as they geared up to go and trying to make sense of the senseless.

"So what I'm getting from this is this is a world where you're not allowed to have more than one personality trait? I think? Under pain of death, you have to be a one-dimensional character."

Cassie turned Peter loose, planting a foot on his ass and shoving him away.

"Get out of here or I'll let Raph have you once he's gotten bored with your friend," she snapped, inspecting her fingertips as though she were more concerned by the possibility of a hangnail than she was about Peter. Which was kind of true, hangnails were bad enough when you weren't a mythic creature...

Raph pulled Drew up and did the same, giving him a boot to the ass to help him along. He ran off as fast as he could.

"These creeps attacked Tris," said Raph. "We were just giving them a firm, educational boot to the rear."

Raph went over and helped Tris up.

"You okay?"

Tris nodded frantically, clearly shaking, and turned to Four. "They attacked me. Raph and Cassie stopped them before they could really hurt me."

Concerned, Four went over to Tris and gently put a hand on her arm.

"Why don't you come with me to somewhere quiet so we can get you calmed down?"

Tris nodded frantically at him as well and turned back to Cassie and Raph, wide-eyed.

"Thank you," she breathed out.

Cassie frowned at Four for a moment, but then the expression was gone like it had never been as she clapped Tris on the shoulder.

"You're welcome," she said cheerfully. "You probably could have taken 'em, but Raph and me hate to let an opportunity to kick some butt pass us by."
