All the technology in this building and the elevator breaks down (Bendytimed before Evil!Reed stuff)
While normally he took the empty elevator shaft left over from the original F4 and human torch days to move between floors, Aleron did occasionally take the elevator. Mostly out of interest more than anything. It was more efficient just to step into the empty shaft and adjust his gravity to send him to the appropriate floor but...he kind of liked trying the more normal stuff.

So he waits in front of the elevator doors for it to come.

	"It is not supposed to do that....Right?" He looks to her because how could the elevator have stopped? This place was supposed to be the pinnacle of Earth technology right? At least the brochures implied it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No, it is not." Valeria said. "It must be malfunctioning." She went to go press the emergency call button. "It's jammed. ...Damnit." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The whole elevator briefly seems to bounce lightly as if it's trying to figure out if it should go up or down. "I can move it but it might do something to whatever is holding it and..." Well he can't keep up gravity effects forever so...safer not to do too much. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Valeria pauses. "There's an opening in the top of the elevator. We could move aside the loose bit of ceiling, and could you then float us up the elevator shaft?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He hovers up to the ceiling to check the loose bits she's talking about. "I hope we can move them..." Reaching up he grabs onto them and then lets his feet walk up the side of the elevator to give him something stable to support him a bit. "The floating part is the easy part."

	"It should be able to slide aside easily," Valeria said. "Just be careful, Aleron." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

It takes a bit more effort than expected to slide the panels aside, it clearly hadn't been done in a while, but eventually he gets it done and carefully floats out of the elevator. "There does not seem to be anything attacking at least."

He looks down back into the elevator and offers Valeria his hand while lessening the effect of gravity on her so she can float up to reach it.

	"I'd say that would be cause for alarm, if something were attacking." Valeria said, floating up to take the offered hand. "Can you float us up? I see where the doors are still open at the top. Then, we can the empty elevator shaft down." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He gently pulled her up, not needing much effort since he was making her weigh very little, and lets her down on the top of the elevator so he can get the chance to look up to where she's talking about.

"I can." There's a pause as he holds out his hands. "It'd be easier to control our direction if I held onto you," he explains. Actually it'd be easier if he held onto her waist or something but there were manners and etiquette to consider.

	"That is fine, Aleron." Valeria said, taking both of his hands. "Whatever makes thing easier for you." She paused, smirking. "All the technology in this building, and the elevator breaks. It's pretty ironic." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	unseenpowers 2012-10-03 12:18 am UTC (link)
	With both her hands in his they begin floating at a steady pace up to the door. By himself he'd do it faster and less carefully but that wasn't the situation here. "Yes, I had thought this building was supposed to have the best technology," he chuckles lightly. It had said so in the brochure too! Cutting-edge stuff upstairs and the elevators could break down.

	invisible_girl 2012-10-03 11:49 am UTC (link)
	"It does," Valeria said, smirking. "But even the best technology has a couple of glitches in it sometimes, Aleron." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	unseenpowers 2012-10-03 12:17 pm UTC (link)
	"I admit I did not expect the glitch to be in the elevator," he smirks slightly. "I would have predicted it be one of the more complex things you have here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"On the bright side, the elevator should be fairly easy to repair, over say, the entire computer system in the hangar breaking down. It will be up and running again in no time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	unseenpowers 2012-10-03 02:57 pm UTC (link)
	"I would be no help for that I'm afraid," he chuckles. "The elevator I am of some use for but while computers are interesting, I know very little about them." They continue floating up, and are nearly to where the open doors are. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You have lab work I suppose?" They reach the open doors and he moves to set her feet down on the floor while he still hovers in the elevator shaft. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	invisible_girl 2012-10-03 03:20 pm UTC (link)
	"I do, but I was looking forward to going out for a little bit. We can take the empty elevator shaft out." She smiled. "Or there's always the stairs." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	unseenpowers 2012-10-03 03:28 pm UTC (link)
	"That is rare," he teases at her anticipation of leaving the lab. "The empty shaft it is. We are on the seventy and something floor after all." Almost looking as if he was walking on air, Aleron steps out of the elevator shaft and onto solid ground again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I just thought I'd ask to see if we wanted the exercise." She held up her books. "Besides, I have books to return, and I promised I'd show you around a bit." They began to head towards the empty elevator shaft. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	unseenpowers 2012-10-03 03:37 pm UTC (link)
	Aleron holds out a hand as they walk. "Your books," he explains. She seemed to have a lot too. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	invisible_girl 2012-10-03 03:51 pm UTC (link)
	"Why thank you, Aleron," Valeria said, handing him her books. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	unseenpowers 2012-10-03 03:56 pm UTC (link)
	He takes them from her and puts them under one arm, handling them as if they weighed nothing. Of course that was to be expected from him. When they reach the empty elevator shaft he looks over to her. "How do you usually do this?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	invisible_girl 2012-10-03 04:00 pm UTC (link)
	Valeria looked down the empty shaft. "I normally just put a force field bubble around myself, and gently float down. That, I normally find to be most effective... though perhaps we could combine our powers. I could put us in a bubble, and you could float us down." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	unseenpowers 2012-10-03 04:04 pm UTC (link)
	"Very well, that seems to be a good idea. I can adjust our speed of descent too. I have never been in your force field bubbles." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
