Dimension surfing wasn't like anything he's seen before. Arthur Pittman Dane-Drake was surfing through what seemed like floating bulbs. He wore a tight black bodysuit with white strips down both the sides and the arms, and huge goggles that could be compared to the ones harry potter wore during quidditch.  Tiny pieces of crystilized light broke off these bulbs; he started to panic. But he knew the scientist said he had to stay on what looked like a piece of metal carved into a skateboard. His tall black boots seemed to sit snug onto of it. He concentrated on his balance as a sting hit his face; a crystal attached itself to his arm. He looked at it, confused and nervous as they started to attach themselves faster. He yelled out and closed his eyes as they all zapped themselves onto him, then the board started to descend.

The evening night was quiet outside one of NYC's largest hotels. Not much was happening on the street, the most activity was a hobo snoring a block away. Soon enough, bright lights of every color start flashing and appearing in small specks, shaping out a figure. Any bystander would of thought it was a light show, due to the beams that it was shooting off and the inability to see what was forming. In one final big flash, Arthur was launched out of the portal, skidding the metal board on the floor, creating sparks, broadcasting metal shredding screeches for anyone near.

SLAM!! His ride was soon ended by a mailbox. He fell on his bum and whined in pain. He rubbed his legs, due to the sudden sore feeling he got once he fell. He looked around at the cool, dark evening. No sign of life other than the homeless man staring at him wide-eyed. Space krunch and sauce, I think it worked, he thought as his confused look turned into a big grin. He got up to his feet, No burning buildings, no fires, no screams...peace... "WHOO HOO!" he couldn't help but yell, he was so excited about not being afraid to be standing still for more than 30 seconds anymore. He felt...safe.

Better to get this over with so he didn't freak out around Andrew. It was still very, very likely this guy was crazy. Best to see his reaction before Andrew had to deal with it. "Andrew is Andrew Summers, he's my senior colleague in our little delegation from Genosha--" even if he was less than 24 hours older -- "and...his mom's maiden name is Lorna Dane."

It seemed like this was a test or something since she seemed more interested in her telling him, than andrew. She probably wanted to get his freaky excitedness out now. It sorta of made him more sad than excited but he still managed to crack a smile. "My-Mah half brother's up there... heh," he smiled more and shook his head, "I guess you expect me to get excited over this..but half brother is barely much to me. I've lost full brothers and sisters cause they were too slow to keep up. I'm fine to meet my half brother...the only half I'm excited about is the cold half of my pillow," he closed his eyes and imagined sleep. "Shall we? Is there anything else?" he hoped he didn't sound rude with that last question.

Giovanna was not eager about blindsiding Andrew with this, but it wasn't as if she could have left Arthur alone down there to talk to him privately.

"Alternate-Universe half-brother, from what you've said. I just wanted to make sure we could take the shocks one at a time." Now, she walks with him past the front door, not going in just yet. "I promise I'll get you to bed in a moment. If all you say is accurate you can't possibly realize the...complications of another member of the family being around. So let's be discreet, and avoid the lobby cameras." Giovanna's been saving up her energy. She takes a deep breath, and teleports the two of them up to her own room.

Arthur understood and nodded apologetically. She listened...which was surprising to him. It was hard to listen while always on the run. He followed her but made sure not to lead again because he didn't want to annoy her after she cared enough for him. She spoke of avoiding the cameras and Arthur just looked at her with a peculiar face. Then everything went [insert color here] and he felt like he was floating, scared of what was about to happen he shut his eyes quickly, waiting for it to be over.
