OK, so now I feel stupid. But we have a problem

I got a garbled text from my sister. She's over in eXcalibur's headquarters and there seems to be a problem over there. So I went over and the entry is barred - no matter how much I tried, I couldn't get the door open.

So I tried it as Colossus.

If anyone's got surveillance footage, enjoy the pratfall. The barrier is strong enough and apparently reflects energy directed at it back to sender.

I did not enjoy being knocked on my metal behind.

I'm also leery about just trying harder, as pulling the entire building apart would be, I think, a really bad idea. Rest of building is just as inaccessable. Don't ask me how I know this, as that was Second Time Thrown Back Onto Backside. Might be worth having energy projector try. Still, is dangerous idea and super extra do not want to burn building down.

So. What now? They have teleporters - my sister is one, in her own fashion - and they haven't been able to port out. And the barrier's strong enough that _I_ couldn't force my way through.

HI ALL. IGNORE MY GROUNDS CAMERA ALERT TEXT. (Yes we have footage, yes, it's kinda alarming but also kinda funny)

Clarice, Kurt, any thoughts? Who is stuck in there, somebody get me a headcount of who they have and haven't talked to this week? How long have they been stuck in there?

Pyotr, my dude, bring someone down there next time to assist like, before going off to try to rescue the queen of all hell and darkness and brimstone (IDK what her title is, I'm going to increase the adjectives until it stops being funny) who happens to be your baby sister? You got a team now, you can call and be like "Sooooo I need help" before the funny fall on ass on camera.

Well THAT was different. You ever run face first into a wall as fast as possible?

I DON'T RECOMMEND. I'm going to get an ice pack and will assist more once this headache is more manageable. Fucking hell...

this is what happens when you mess with wormholes.

It will not even allow me to run into the wall. It felt similar, but not quite the same, to being prevented psychically.
