Ben draws away from the spear, as best he can with his legs restrained, hoping his mounting panic doesn't show on his face. (It does.)
He starts to push his core temperature higher, gearing up to release a sudden burst of heat in the hopes of driving Signless back. In the meantime, he opens his mouth to stall (he actually has no idea what Heatblast actually is; he may have found out at some point, but he's thoroughly forgotten since then), but, at that moment, any formulated plan he may have is cut short by a shrill beeping from the hourglass emblem on his chest.
His gaze jerks down to stare at it, eyes widening further. "Oh no, not now, come on-"
One blinding flash of red later, and Ben is standing on the roof, perfectly human - and considerably smaller. He jumps to take advantage of the situation however he can, trying to slip out of the tendrils and run for the nearest fire escape.
