Chapter 45: A Test for Time Part 1

Jake was standing on the cliff by Tony's mansion, trying to practice with his mist teleportation ability. Tony's mansion was about 500 meters away, and he wanted to try teleporting himself back to it. He willed the mist to surround himself, and to his relief, it did! He then willed it to take him to Tony's mansion. Jake vanished from the cliffside.

SPLASH!

Tony was sitting outside, having some breakfast by his pool, when he saw Jake appear above it and drop right in. He chuckled as he watched the guy slowly swim to the edge before climbing out, dripping wet. "That was a lot better this time, Jake!" Tony called out.

This time, he had actually made it to the mansion grounds! The other two times Jake had tried to teleport, he did not make it to the mansion... The first time, he only teleported a few feet in front of him, and the second time, he sent himself miles away to the local McDonald's. Needless to say, the patrons and employees there were shocked at seeing him appear out of nowhere.

Even though Jake was soaking wet, he didn't mind. He considered this a success. He was starting to figure out how this ability worked. Like his devil magic, he had to completely visualize where he wanted to teleport to. If he had a stray thought at all, like when his stomach rumbled and he briefly thought of food, he would not end up where he wanted to go.

"I think I'm starting to get the hang of this," Jake said out loud. He then went on to explain to Tony what he had learned. Tony told him that teleporting was going to be extremely useful, but he should make sure to be aware of his limits.

Jake agreed. He had explained to Tony everything he'd learned. Knowing the man was a genius, Jake asked him, "Is there anything you think i've missed from my tests so far?"

Tony pondered for a second before pulling out his phone. "Here," Tony said typing with a smirk before showing his screen to Jake. Tony had pulled up a picture of a location Jake didn't recognize. "Try taking us here while staring at the picture," Tony explained.

"But I have no idea where this place is, though."

"Exactly," Tony said. "That's the point. You've been visualizing the location in your head so far, but I want to see if you can teleport somewhere with just a picture and you not knowing where it actually is. Science is all about experimenting, after all!"

"But this is magic, though," Jake replied. They were not the same thing, no matter how much Tony tried to argue. Magic was just science no one understood yet...

"Quit whining, and let's go already," Tony said, excited for some reason. Jake figured why not as he grabbed Tony and focused on the photo as the two of them vanished from Tony's Malibu house.

...

The two of them faded into existence, and Tony let out a whoop of joy. "Hell yeah! You did it. I've been wanting to come back to this place for ages!" he exclaimed with some enthusiasm. Jake was happy the experiment worked, but had no idea where they were now.

"Where exactly are we, Tony?"

"This is the absolute wildest gentleman's club I've ever been to in my entire life! We're in Bangkok!"

"Tony, it's 11 am..."

"Not here, it's not. Here it's past midnight, and that means it's party time." Tony cheered as he ran into the club. The bouncer just took one look at Tony before recognizing him immediately and letting him cut the line. Tony waved for Jake to follow, and Jake just shrugged and walked in with him. Jake figured the place must be pretty good if there were that many people lined up to get in...
