Oh, running. Ben hasn't run while inside a body for a long time. He'd run after Klaus plenty as a ghosts, but it's a very different sort of process when you weigh nothing, have no blood, no lungs, no muscles. It's not an unpleasant sensation, jogging after Cole, but for a few moments Ben is caught up in the strangeness of it, how every part of his body seems to be involved in it.

Cole appears to know which way he's going; even if what he's saying doesn't make immediate sense, Ben follows in the direction he indicates. And for a while, a little while, there is nothing to bother them but the knowledge that they are outside, unprotected from radiation, and the storm, and the shift. But Cole had seemed so sure they would run into danger, that after only a little while Ben says, "Tell me if you sense anything else getting close, okay?"

Not that Cole needs to be told that, most likely, but Ben is staving off dread however he can. That is, until he sees the air just off to their left warp and an object drops to the ground a few feet away. It is, impossibly, surreally, the head of that stupid statue of him they'd put up at the Academy, the one that looks nothing like him. Ben watches it wink into existence, drop with a heavy thud, and then before he even has time to know how to react, it blinks out of existence again.
