Taylor - Radiation Resistance

Noelle dropped me.

"What have you done?"

"Taken you away," I said. "To a place where you will fry."

The sand on the shore had been turned to glass, and the radiation was already starting to damage me. The place was hot.

"Planewalker," I said, hoping to go back to Brockton Bay.

She lunged for me, presumably hoping to come with me.

Instead, the world shifted around me, and I realized that I wasn't in the Bay at all.

Instead I was in a place covered in thick fog, thick enough that I could only see the outlines of buildings in the distance. I didn't see or smell water, either. Where was I? Did Planewalking move me in space as well as time?

I'd already taken another 20 hit points of damage from radiation in the last world. The place had been radioactive enough that I doubted that a normal person would have survived more than a minute or two, and even the time I'd been exposed would have eventually been fatal.
