Corrine stood off to the side in silence, watching the train wreck unfold before her. She sighed and shook her head. There were so many holes in the plan, and it endangered the people around them! She wanted to speak out, but she doubted that the oh so mighty Talon would listen to her. She'd met his type before, most of her father's business partners had the same attitude about them. Self confident with a hint of superiority and smugness. She couldn't stand it. Her life was already full of being talked down to and ordered around by people like him, and she sure as hell wasn't going to let this part of it be like that too.
Corrine was shaken out of her thoughts by the spider themed girl, Spinstress, pointing out exactly what was wrong with the plan. Corrine stifled a smile at the look on Talon's face. She liked this girl already. She continued to watch with interest as the girl seemed to get an idea.
"I think I see a better way."
Corrine watched as Spinstress threw her balled of string towards the ceiling and climbed it, popping off one of the ceiling panels. Of course! The crawl space above the ceiling was larger than the vents, and was made so the maintenance crew could crawl around and check on things. This time Corrine did smile, raising an eyebrow as Talon defended himself, and said something about his dexterous feet. When he was done, she walked over to Spinstress and her rope, nodding at her before grabbing it. She hesitated, glancing back at the others. She didn't doubt that they could all fit in their normal forms, but she doubted that Skleros could fit in his current state, and she didn't even know if he could turn back, or how long it would take. She wasn't sure about the others, but her Kwami had told her that she had five minutes after using her main power before she transformed back into a civilian. If that was true for the others, they had to hurry it up. Mind made up, she quickly climbed up the rope and into the crawl space. Once inside, she began crawling in the direction she thought the hallway was. She carefully pushed one of the tiles off and dropped down. After making sure she was in the right place, she strode through the small crowd of students that had gathered towards the library doors. Taking a breath, she grabbed the handles. She wasn't sure this wold work, but she had to try.
"Absolute Access!" She shouted, her eyes shut tight. Her Kwami had told her about her powers, but she wasn't quite sure of how or even if they worked. She opened one of her eyes at the sound of the door emitting a quiet click. Nothing seemed different, but there was only one way to find out. She tugged the handles and watched, shocked, as the doors swung towards her. She had hoped it would work, but she hadn't fully expected it to. Glancing around the room, she cleared her throat.
"Hey guys! The doors are open now. I didn't know if everyone could go through there, so I thought maybe I could unlock the door from the other side" She explained, slightly nervous. She knew they were supposed to work as a team, but it had just been the simplest option. She hoped they understood.
