Lara Night is a living, constantly recharging battery - she absorbs energy from all around her and stores it constantly. Like a battery, she's at her maximum power when she's not exerting herself, and if she exhausts the power within her it's much more difficult to pull additional power from around her (unless she's lucky enough to have a large source of energy to draw from nearby). Running low on energy has a physical effect on her. She'll feel sore and tired like she's had too much excersize. That means there are three possible scenarios: 1. During a casual visit, transporting across universes just exhausts her power reserve, but since she's not using more power once she arrives, it doesn't matter much. It's like going for a long walk when you've eaten two hours ago and have nothing to do but relax with an iced tea when you're done. If she has to do it two or three times in a row, though, she'll get tired rapidly. 2. If she's forced to exhaust her energy reserve, she can pull in all the energy she can reach and do a panic transport out, but she'll be too exhausted to go back right away. 3. If there is something attempting to block her transports and she's forced to work around it, that would cause her to exhaust her energy reserve and become tired. Why? It's because her transports are point-to-point, so if she has to re-route it's like doing multiple point-to-point transfers to get where she's going. Like a flight with stops instead of a direct one.
It's a big deal because it exhausts her energy reserve, which is why she doesn't transport long distances casually. The other big deal is that any time she transports into a universe it displaces some random energy. She doesn't really know where it goes - but presumably, if that energy is forcibly returned to the Parodyverse while she's there, she'd be forcibly ejected. They can't occupy the same space. The trick is how to find that energy and replace it (and that Lara can just come back later, and she'll be angry).
The only reason he'd have to do that is if a) he actually believes Lara can stop his greater plan, or b) the greater plan is to remove every last hero from the Parodyverse and make sure they can't return. What might be interesting, though, is if the Chronicler decides to leverage Lara's power (probably Lisa's idea) and blackmails her into it. Like do what I ask or you'll never be welcome here again, and you'll never see the Lair Legion or Liu Xi again. | |||||||
