"O-oh! Uh... sh-sure... g-guess we ch-check my house a-again...?" Selina seems a little more nervous now with having to try going home again...
"Eh, sure, why not? It's why we came this way, isn't it?"
And with that, the two of you head back to your house, reaching it in not very long at all. This proves to be fortunate timing, as it seems that your parents are currently returning home. A slight feeling of dread runs through you as you observe them pulling into the driveway, getting out with worried expressions.
This feeling is amplified when out of the car comes the other you, seemingly still unable to walk on her own, needing support from your mother and father. They start to carry her toward the front door.
"Huh. Didn't know you had an identical twin," Rita says as the two of you observe from what seems to be a safe distance.
"The gesture maybe, but the effort not so much." replies Steven.
She thinks on this a second.
"Well, to tell the truth, I guess it was the other way around, actually - the effort was wasted, the gesture was not. Then again, maybe that means it's been a productive, sensible course of action all-round," she then says, scratching her head. "Anyway, seems like it's high time we made some introductions, don't you think?"
Carrie examines every exit within her purview and makes a beeline for the nearest one.
You, after looking around in a fifty meter radius, come to the conclusion that this part of the stadium is about to collapse in a much bigger way than it already has. This is not good, you believe, and so you make a power-assisted beeline toward the field, only to sprint right into the center of a telekinetic explosion that slams your body into the ground with stupendous force. Your life becomes sharp pain and tremendous suffering as your projection is reunited with your physical form.
Ilo is blasted away from a slightly further distance, though he's surprisingly quick on the recovery. One Eighty, by virtue of moving slowest if nothing else, manages to avoid the blast entirely, and picks you up from the ground as she follows the escaping Ilo. Getting picked up hurts. You feel dizzy, and you might pass out in a bit. At least you're not out cold, or dead, which is what might have happened, you guess, if you did not have your durability.
However, the three of you do make it back out onto the field. It looks worse than it did before somehow. Massive fireballs appear to be almost preying on people in the field, their shapes unnervingly beastly and alive.
Jake shrugs. At least he'll remember the girl's face incase he runs into her again. He takes off for the nearest exit, trying to get away from the danger zone while his power is active. If he can, he'll try to run through an explosion or lightning to see if they have any effect on him. Still, his focus is on getting away before he gets that bad feeling. Hopefully his athletic training will come in handy. If he gets that bad feeling, he'll release his power. Hopefully then the bad effects won't manifest.
Well, you just sprint after those two lovebirds what just left, and make a rather fancy jump straight through a spiral of green lightning (remaining joyfully unharmed) before making it out, getting to the edge of the zone right as you get the feeling - you let go of your powers, and clear the area with absolutely no injuries of note. Feeling like an absolute champ, you raise your arms in victory before remembering that you appear to have made absolutely no progress on your quest this way.
You don't see the two people in whose wake you followed, though. You guess you might have taken an alternative route?
