Observation

[forge]

Forge was a man obsessed, spending his days in the subbasement, unnoticed and not wanting to be noticed. He still took the time to teach the two, hour and half long science and technology courses he'd been assigned at the school, but every other moment of his time was spent working on the Device.

Lorna had said that she knew the machine wasn't the problem. It was the way they used their powers. He'd listened to her, and understood what she meant... but there was always a way to exact a measure of control. He would find that way, and would perfect the Device so as to not repeat the last disaster...

Of course his virtual eye was ever on the grounds, and attached to cyberspace. It actually gave him pause when the windows were blown out on the second level. That was where Wanda was. Then she ran out, met with Shooter Adamar Burke, and they fled... at a speed Forge had never seen before.

Superspeed, eh? I hate superspeed.

He made the appropriate calls, kept everyone informed that the explosion was likely an accident, and they should check and see if anyone was hurt. He also waited to see if the Wonder Twins would return... apparently they didn't. At least not yet.

So he returned to the Device... and thoughts of freeing both Rayen and Lorna.
