Cale, when he was being placed back into his body after the GoD test, found himself in a weird empty place.

The only thing in it is a pedestal, and on that pedestal is an intricate, golden pocketwatch.

It's open, and has far too many hands. He can see the gears inside it, and even though none of the seventeen hands are moving, the gears are. If he looks closer at the gears, he can start to see...something.

It looked like space. Like a galaxy, hidden in between the gears.

He pokes around it for a bit, but nothing happens. It just sits there, looking shiny and expensive.

He had no idea what this thing was, but...it was probably worth a lot. If it wasn't, the kids would like it.

He reaches out, grabs it, and wakes up in his body, surrounded by shields and people telling him not to move.

Except the next time he tries to use Instant, time freezes all around him; and his body has no ill effects. In fact, he can feel not only his time, but every single version of himself at all points in time.

The drawback comes after he stops using the power; every orifice that can bleed, does, and he faints from blood loss so intense that his regeneration Power can't keep up.

He calls a meeting with Jack and Cage later, to find out what the fuck happened.

She takes one look at him and dives for the bar. Jack takes a longer look and joins her.

"You crazy bastard," Cage says between swigs, refusing to look at Cale.

"How did you steal a god's power?" Jack asks, voice high pitched as he shakily pours himself a glass of wine.
