After they'd managed to escape from Visser Three and his Blade Ship, jumping out of the open hatch into the air amid a tornado of Veleek and spraying water, Tommy concentrated on demorphing. It seemed like that was what they used to control the Veleek, the water, keeping it from attacking any of their forces when it might have been drawn to them for some reason or other. Falling through the air, demorphing as fast as he could and then morphing into his bald eagle morph so that he wouldn't hit the ground.
Ax was screaming in his head the whole time, which might have been a distraction to someone else, but Tommy could understand why since the both of them had had to demorph so that they could morph into birds. Opening his wings, Tommy flapped hard and pulled up and away from the approaching ground.
(I'll check in with Jake,) Tommy offered. (You head back to the forest and get some sleep.)
(If you're truly certain,) Ax said, though the relief in his mental "tone" carried through clearly.
After confirming his decision with Ax, Tommy headed out to Jake's house to let him know that the both of them were all right.
After making sure that Tom was out and away from the house – he didn't want even the risk of Tom walking in on them, considering their circumstance – Tommy landed in the tree outside Jake's window. Calling to Jake, he found that the younger boy had been assigned to clean the garage, and he'd somehow gotten Marco to help him with that. Marco was complaining about it, of course, but he at least seemed willing to participate.
That was good, at least.
