After eating the sandwich, Selina wonders if maybe... She walks over to the sink, sticks her hands in, and focuses on her hands again without the water on, and waits for something to happen.
As you focus on your hand, you feel a familiar ticklish sensation as something begins to move along your skin, slowly collecting on your hands in the shape of two slightly yellowish, largely transparent globules about the size of a ping pong ball.
Alex would close his eyes and focus. Maybe he could control the area around him, if it WAS a pocket universe.
You close your eyes and think real hard, as if you were some kind of psychic guy, trying to get the area around you to take on a more interesting, familiar shape. You're not sure if it's working.
"Whoa," says Officer Church while walking back, in a tone that makes you inclined to believe that it's actually working. "I
hope that's you doing that!"
Wondering what the meaning of that might have been, you open your eyes again. And then you notice something intriguing - the featureless plain you find yourself in is featureless no more - the ground, flat and boring beforehand, now seems to have a fairly rough texture, like that of a welcome mat, and has become distinctly light brown. The sky has turned a darkish pink, and a bright red sun can be seen on the nearby horizon. The terrain is no longer flat, now possessing a more dune-like feel, with minor peaks and valleys all around.
"That
was you doing that, ri-" Church begins to say, but is interrupted when the two of you, with a slight pop in your ears, reappear in Kibbel's clubhouse in what seems like your original orientation, which only serves to disorient you both to a great degree.
"Uh... well. That was interesting," she says after regaining her balance.
"There's a boy trying to break into an apartment over there." Her thoughts were disjointed in her despair, but that stuck out to her.
"Huh? Is that what you're crying about?" the man asks.
"That's good... So where were they if you don't mind my asking?"
"Eh, I kinda forget. I was in a contemplative state of mind, see. I remember they did seem kinda hungry, so I fed them, you know. I know it, 'cause I seemed kinda hungry then as well. Cured both of our problems, then moved along, and they followed me. At least, I think that's how it went."
