Obi-Wan takes advantage of this power so rarely that it still stuns Klaus a little to see it. With Allison, when they were kids, it was routine. She used it all the time to get whatever she wanted, and while they would sometimes whine about it being unfair, it never did any good. She was just using the gifts she'd been given, as their father used to say.
Not Obi-Wan. He only uses it when absolutely necessary, and Klaus is relieved to find that this falls into that category. Everyone pushing the gurney slows to a halt until Obi-Wan is suddenly there and Klaus can relax, nodding a bit as he slumps back against the gurney.
The doctors start moving again, taking over from the EMTs, and none of them say anything as Obi-Wan keeps pace with them, sticking where Klaus can see him. Once they're in a triage room, one of them yanks the curtain shut and goes about inspecting the rapidly closing hold in Klaus's chest, humming thoughtfully as she does.
"Well, looks like surgery won't be necessary," she says as she cleans the wound, looking reassuringly up at Klaus. "Have you always been able to heal like this?"
"No," Klaus starts to say, but then he remembers what he saw in that void-- him dying over and over again. "I mean, yeah. I've-- it's happened a lot. I just didn't know it at the time."
He shoots Obi-Wan a helpless look, lower lip quivering as a fresh set of tears spill out over his eyes. "I just want to go home."
