He didn't mean to scare her with them, but he also knew there was no way of saying 'I have tentacles that shoot out of my skin' that was going to help either. No point of wasting time with that. What they needed was strength right now, and Luther wasn't around. If he would have been here he could have done it with his pinky and be fine.
The tentacles moved and wiggled, leaving her alone, thankfully. They seemed glad to be out of him and doing anything at all. His relief was clear on his face, if only he was facing her. Still, they worked like an octopus, squeezing in, lifting, pulling, and getting under the door, pushing it up and expanding to push it farther. Ben's hands moved in to grab it and help pull as well, getting behind the door as it opened.
"Kraken was my brothers code name. I was... um, The Horror." He said, and shrugged, looking anywhere but her. He knew how freakish his powers were.
He panted, holding the door with four tentacles and his to hands, leaning over it. Then he jerked back with a grunt as he forced them to go back inside. He let out a pant, leaning on the open door.
He looked, well, DOWN, into the door way and frowned. The water seemed to drop for a ways and he didn't hear it splash or hit ground. It was like a nothingness. A darkness inside. "I don't know. It's just dark." He moved to the other side of where Rikki was. If she was at the bottom of the door, he took the top. Leaning over it, he reached a hand in and waved, just in case. "I literally can't see anything at all."
