There was a moment where Brent was going down with Kellen that he worried that they would just come face to face with the others, or, more terrifyingly, they wouldn't.
Maybe they would come face to face with something worse, he wasn't sure. What he did know is that he was worried about Kellen, and what they would find there.
So, maybe he slipped his hand around Kellen's arm, for comfort, or maybe he was getting Kellen's powers through osmosis. That could happen, right?
Kellen looked back at him in confusion, worried that something was wrong, and Brent, being quick on his feet, told him the truth.
"Something is telling me to hold onto you." Brent blurted. Kellen, the man, the Field Guide, the Time Esper, nodded, and opened the door.
Brent wasn't sure what he was expecting. Gun fire, maybe? Or a loud scream? Instead, there was only silence as Kellen took a few steps forward onto the other floor, scanned, and Brent shuffled in after him.
