The more things change...
The Exiles all find themselves transported from the desert to... well, another part of the desert.

In the middle of this flat area, however, an area of tiled floor sits, with a chalkboard set up on one edge. And all the Exiles sit in old-style school desks, mostly a little too small for them, wedged in however much needed.
A balding man stands by the chalkboard, waiting patiently for everyone to settle in and pay him heed after the sudden change of surrounds.

"Welcome... or welcome back, as the case may be. Coffee? Muffins?"

"On the contrary, you've made Rose's life much more complicated. Its your fault, to a degree, she's here. But as for your dimension, its one of the most difficult to fix... Doom succeeded in stealing the Beyonder's power, your parents were killed long before you'd have been born, and he rules, effectively, everything. Changing a reality backed by that kind of power is difficult, at best. But as before, if you don't, you, like Mr. Braddock, don't exist."

	"Wait! I don't mind that I'm here, I mean I at least have one friend here...But besides that just why are things complicated?" Her eyes sting now. "Is my reality okay? Are my parents okay?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Your reality is /not/ ok. You see, Sarah wasn't supposed to be there. Her presence on your world was an accident. Anya Stark was supposed to be killed by Temujin in their first combat encounter. Then, Tony Stark would go on to build a suit of self-destruct armor and exact revenge, killing himself in the process. But more importantly, killing Temujin, preventing him from ever meeting Hadelinde Zemo and passing on insider information into the Avengers to the woman who will become one of their most implacable foes for decades to come. Sarah, however, saved Anya's life and fought Temujin off. Your presence here is a balance point - essentially, you're going to help make adjustments to your reality to fix what Sarah has done, and make it so Anya Stark doesn't have to be killed to make things right. Like Blink, you're here strictly voluntarily, you can go home any time you want. But if you do, Anya Stark will be killed, her father soon after, and Stark Enterprises will fall into something less than noble hands. But like I said, say the word, and you can go."

	Rose's jaw clenches tightly. She can't go now because she remembers how much the thought of loosing Anya would kill her. Loosing Tony and Stark industries getting taken over by someone that couldn't be trusted either would hurt her too. "I'm staying," she says with resolve. She is her parents child so she will see this through. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sarah puts a hand lightly on Rose's shoulder, speaking quietly. "I'm sorry Rose. And thank you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	irondragon 2009-06-04 05:04 am UTC (link)
	Rose blinks and shakes her head. "Don't be sorry Sarah. My best friend is still alive. Her father isn't dead." Her mouth twitches into a chuckle. "Besides! I was planning on a road trip to decide what I wanted to do with myself. This is just a detour. One day things will be okay." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The Ghost Rider waves a hand. "All this makes real little sense to me, but I know why mah world blew up." It's her fault. "I just wanna know where we go now and if ah git to kick Mephisto's ass." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Indeed, you're here because in your world, Mephisto broke one of the fundamental physical laws of hell. And yes, eventually you will encounter him again, he also survived the end of your reality. But when you do, all of your souls will be on the line, along with your reality. Don't be in too big a hurry... but you will get there if you live that long." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"No, hell broke, and let everyone and everything loose. Your Earth, and, indeed, your entire universe is a literal hell on Earth - there's a reason a lot of those souls were damned, after all. Most of them really shouldn't be free. Everyone who lives and ever lived there is counting on you to return the jailer to the prison and put the prisoners of eternity back where they belong."

	"Probably true, and, as before, I invite you to disbelieve me. Should you cease to exist, or someone dies, a replacement will be sent. As much as you're the current primary agents on this mission, compared to collective reality, you're all expendable. Good luck." (Reply to this)(Parent)
