+1 small, superpowered boy

Today is a day Alex is especially glad he brought his pocket notebook with him, as it means he can take notes on the weird PSA. He doesn't seem scared, or even particularly surprised, as he jots down some quick things to remember to ask his dad about later - interdimensional stuff sounds like something out of his dad's sci-fi movie collection - and makes a note to himself to look for the door home after no more than an hour. That's probably enough time to look around around without also being so long his parents will notice and get worried.

Once he's got his notebook stashed away again, he starts off towards the direction he's fairly sure he came from, just to make sure the door is there. After a few moments, he winces and clutches his head. Apparently, headaches could travel across dimensions, too. Biting his lip, he carefully looks around, trying to gauge which adult looks the least likely to be annoyed by a kid. Eventually, when the headache throbs especially badly, he gives up that endeavor to approach the nearest person who doesn't look clueless and asks, as politely as he can manage, "Do you know where I can get some aspirin? My head is killing me and it's been long enough since I took some I can have some more. I think."

If time worked the same across dimensions it would have been easier to tell, but alas.

Marie sits and listens quietly, taking in what Alex is saying carefully, trying to understand how his powers work. Unfortunately, this isn't her area of expertise and the best thing she can do is nod her head and be compassionate, having very little advice she can give. The ability to be in two places at once is something out of a comic book, and a power she's never truly heard of before.

"I...I wish I could help in a better way. Having a power that's hard to control and wanting to help people, I get that." She's surprisingly calm throughout the ordeal, but seems sad that she's unable to provide more wisdom. "Maybe we can look into a teacher here in the Nexus? I can ask around, see if there's someone who can help."
