Deci reached up, trying to grab the broken pipe. It was high up on the wall—high enough that he couldn't even brush it with his fingers, let alone rip it out and replace it. He had stolen a chair from Karl's workshop, but it didn't give him quite enough height...

"Karl," he called, projecting his voice down the hallway. "Where the hell is the ladder?"

"Grow wings, dumbass," discount Magneto shouted back.

He rolled his eyes and smacked the wall, knowing Karl would feel the vibrations. "I know damn well you know where it is! Help me find it or I'm stealing your door."

A few seconds later, a ladder flew through the hallway, knocking him flat on his back. He supposed he deserved that. But hey, at least he had a ladder now!
