Time travel: not for the faint of heart
The Fantastic Four’s new location was, as it had been last time, in the middle of a busy square. The architecture of the buildings was different, more advanced and with an oriental feel. There was a garden in the center of the square, well cared for and vibrant. Not very far from the square there was a Sphinx. If the unwilling time travelers at first assumed that they were In Egypt, they could not be faulted. However, there was a landmark that would place them in New York City: the Statue of Liberty. At least that was it had been. Now Lady Liberty was transformed, now bearing a striking resemblance to one member of their team: Cassandra Lang.

	Kristoff's eyes take in the square. The Sphinx. The statue. The Sphinx. And one of his arms reaches to wrap more around Cassandra. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Ohhh shit." Now that was disturbing on multiple levels. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Andrea momentarily lost her balance, a twitch going across her face. "There are electronic signals," she said, "but they are... too advanced for my processor to interpret." The surroundings, however, are a good bit more disturbing than that. "I do not believe this to be good at all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vincent cringes at the sight of the edifice. "That's just in poor taste." Sensing Andrea's discomfort, he moves close to her. "Shut down your data-stream receptors if you think there's any danger of feedback. I'll keep us covered, you just try to stabilize." A few gestures and words, and the party is shielded from sight.

	Almost as soon as they disappeared the policemen of the era, armed and acting more like SWAT teams, had them surrounded. Their guns were pointed at where they had been. Several of them fired. Their guns weren't loaded with bullets but teargas. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kristoff hand moves quickly to trigger the facescreen and ventilation of his armor, but there's already some effect, and it's hard for him to do much more. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Andrea had barely shut down her receptors when the attack began. While she did require a certain amount of air for cooling cycles on her internal components, she did not truly need to breathe and is thus rather immune to the effects of the gas.

There was already too much gas around them for her to throw up a force-field; she'd trap just as much with them as without.

Instead, orange rocky armor worked its way up her arms and she brought those arms together quickly, as hard as she could, trying to use the shockwave to blow some of it away.

	"You are... different from me," Andrea said to her counterpart. "I cannot identify your make-up at all." There was an implicit what happened? in her statement as well. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	The older Andrea's smile was small and perhaps a little sad. "To be young and technological," she said. "How I sought to understand the world around me, always wondering about my place in it." "I am different, that I once was," she agreed with her younger self. "And as Vincent said, I was very nearly lost. He risked much for me. Much more than he should have."

	The younger mage scowls accusingly at his older self. "Why didn't you protect her? Protect her AND Cassandra What happened?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The Future Andrea's smile and embrace of her Vincent is no less warm or fond. "You should already know by now you cannot make him promise that. He has always been too self-sacrificing for his own good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Theh silver-haired man hurriedly finished with the directions and messages he was relaying and turned to her when he saw her approaching. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Kristoff." Cassie said softly. "This must be hard on you." He looked like he'd been through hell. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That is of no consequence," he mutters softly. He's not stupid enough to ask 'are you all right?' but he's clearly concerned. "The operation starts in a few hours. There's...nothing else to get done just this moment." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	staturity 2009-08-23 07:09 pm UTC (link)
	"Kris," Cassie laid a hand on his shoulder. "I think- I think that if the Cassie you knew could talk to you, well I think I'd know what she'd want to say to you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Scotty!" In one movement Cassie had her son in her arms. "Oh baby, it's so good to see you." She wasn't in any hurry to let him go. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Eventually, nextgen_misc 2009-08-24 02:37 am UTC (link)
	"Mmph!" Sudden hugs! Not entirely new, admittedly. "Hi, Mom." After a moment of still being held, his eyes manage to travel. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kristoff sighed a litle when he saw him. Seeing how the clutched boy was looking at them slightly weirded out at their state, he said, gently. "Things got somewhat...weird, Scotty." A phenomena Scotty is also quite familiar with in terms of broad general principle. "We are not hurt, though." Any details would be Cassandra's right, not his. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vincent was already visibly relieved to be back in a world that made as much sense as he could hope for. He was still holding Andrea, but moved along to ruffle Scotty's hair. "Andrea and I bought you a hat today. Not just of some wussy mouse, but of a mighty dragon." He smiles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Eventually, awesome_andrea 2009-08-24 09:16 pm UTC (link)
	Andrea's hold on Vincent was no less tight, but she was quite relieved to open herself to the datastream of the modern world again. She was pleased to see that history did not appear to have changed in their absence. "Yes," she told Scotty. "I am certain you will enjoy it." In the meantime, however, she required a shower and then a long recharge cycle. (Reply to this)(Parent)
