Panel 1: Iz gazes down upon Jack and Rose, who are hiding behind a tiny wall.
Iz: Can I help you with--
Rose: Crap!
Panel 2: Rose vanishes into thin air. Iz begins to brush the snow off the wall.
Jack: Hey! She can't just--
Iz: Wait for it.
Panel 3: He crouches beside Jack.
Jack: Wait for what?
Iz: That was a panic reaction. When she panics, she always jumps--
Panel 4: Iz perches on the little wall as Rose reappears.
Iz: --twenty-three seconds into the future.
Rose: Double crap!
Alt-Text: See,
my theory is that if you did develop time-travel powers, they would end
up incorporated into your instinctual behaviour. Rose's
twenty-three-second jump is equivalent to the way I flinch every time
somebody makes a pun.
