Endings and Beginnings
The Exiles, an old companion left behind, and a few new guests appear in the desert. Nearby, there's a small kitchenette - no walls, just counters, an oven, and a coffee maker. The smell of blueberry muffins wafts from the oven on the desert wind, along with fresh brewed coffee.

Just past the kitchenette is what appears to be a gradeschool classroom, tiny desks and blackboard included... and not much else, save for a slightly dumpy, balding man, waiting for them to get themselves in some kind of order.

That may take a few moments, as they appear not so much in the desert as twenty feet above it.

Quinn had been...well Quinn and had been enjoying himself when he had been plucked from one reality and dropped here. He recognized the place.

"Oh blood hell. Not again."

Sarah grabs anyone she can among the people who don't appear able to fly.

"I'm sorry, Quinn. Again... there's a big Kang problem problem." So many deaths so quickly. And no time to mourn now.

Quinn cast a quick levitation spell on the others to keep them from falling.

"When isn't there a Kang problem, luv?"

Petra blinks, having been in the middle of a shift, and still holding a serving tray laden with appetizers and cocktails. "...wait, what?" She looks around.

"Somebody able to explain what's going on?"

"That's what I'd like to know," Dex said as he floated down to the ground. "Didn't we kill this Kang fellow once already?"

"I coulda sworn we kicked his ass last time, what with the Doomsday clones and...well, a lot of Kryptonite."

Michael is very confused. See the confused face?

"Killed Kang? Hardly." says the balding man. "And while I'm certain Miss Rogers could explain the situation somewhat, I can give you all a somewhat more complete version.

Please, everyone have a muffin, grab some coffee... I'm afraid the news is not good. We'll begin the explanation as soon as everyone has a seat."

"To hell with the coffee thing," Quinn said and conjured himself a beer.

Sarah sighs, and wedges herself into one of the seats. She knows there's no use arguing - but bad as the food usually is on Exiles' Road, and much as she'd usually actually appreciate it - after what just happened, she can't manage hunger.

Petra just puts down the tray, grabs herself part of a quesadilla and a cosmo, and waits for things to start making sense.

The Timebroker sighs.

"He is not currently a where, he's a when. Currently, he has either killed your parents, or otherwise undid your entire existence. Right now, you're only here as chronal memories of your timeline. Sort of like very, very irate shadows on the wall in the wake of the atomic bomb.

If that thought doesn't sober you, and you're not willing to sit down and listen, so you'll be of any use at all, I can send you back to continue wafting in the prevailing breeze."

Quinn knew the routine. He sat down at a desk with a pitcher of beer and a pint glass.

"Do as he says. We must bring balance to Fate. Many universes depend on what actions we take," comes the grave echoing voice of Doctor Fate.

It's mostly the Helmet in control right now. No one here knows the hand under the Helm anyways. Unless Cat is here. Only she might realize that this isn't 'really' Mark.

It's mostly Nabu doing the talking.

Michael sat down, although the whole "being written out of existence" thing pissed him the hell off. Stupid asshole time-travelling bullshit.

When everyone is settled in, the Timebroker regards them. "Appearing to kill Kang won't do it. He is preparing a confrontation. If you kill him before the moment everything is balanced on, anything and everything might de-stabilize.

All of you are here, because right now, you don't exist. You're free from the fetters of time... but important enough to your timeline that your 'shadow' cannot simply cease to exist while any hope of recovery remains.

If you die again, though, or fail, there's nothing I can do.

Kang is attempting to wipe out the world Petra, Dex, Michael and many others are from entirely, to cut ties to his world of origin. He wants to sever it from the timelines, make it immutable. For those who understand chronal physics at all, you'll know that would wipe out hundreds of timelines and worlds, and destabilize thousands more.

This world, and a close neighbor, have been unstable ever since Miss Rogers saved Anya Stark's life... when Sarah was not supposed to be in that world at all, save for an accident involving Galactus. Kang has been taking advantage of that.

Kill him in a possible timeline, it might just be a double, or a shadow, or him manipulating the situation... instead, you must focus your attention on saving as many situations as possible. The Tallus, the 'fancy bangle' attached to Miss Rogers' wrist will give you all the guidance that is possible without risking doing additional damage... too much information can be just as bad.

While you're playing good soldiers, and trying not to die, I will be trying to isolate one Kang in one place... if you save enough situations, and survive, you will have one chance, and only one chance to save thousands of worlds, your own included, and stabilize your local timeline, in a place Kang cannot retreat from.

Questions?"

"What he said." Petra grunts, drinking as much water as she can manage. She's going to need to be hydrated.

Quinn downed the rest of his pint of beer and set the glass down with a bit of dramatic flair. "I'm ready." He belched loudly.

Dr Fate simply nods.

"I am ready to proceed."

The Timebroker shakes his head to the question. "He has out and out written you out of existence. As of right now, he wins. I'm giving you one chance, and one chance only, to write yourself back in." he warns.

He gives them time to finish their food, and then, in a blink, they're somewhere else...
