London

"Not the first time I've been teleported against my will," Nathan brushed his labcoat off and looked around at the odd architecture around him, trying to figure out what had just happened. He had been researching into the demonic plague with a number of other researchers from within Thal'nasia trying to discover a better way to possibly revert the complete change that took place in people after a certain point, then things had become strange. Within the next few moments he found himself in an unfamiliar city, but certainly a human one given he didn't see a single rune or feel the thrum of magic power. "Best to keep myself looking human then," he muttered to himself, walking along the streets and trying to see if anyone else was around.

Hinata Hyūga

“A-Ah... p-please don't...” Hinata whimpered at Estelle's question, fidgeting again as the responsibility was placed onto her. Desperately, she shook her head in a rapid fashion. “I-It's not worth it, please... l-let's all just... relax a-and... f-figure things out. Nicely...”

She momentarily squeezed her eyes shut, making an effort to calm her breathing before chewing at her lower lip and looking around the area again. Out of curiosity, she ventured over to a bush of flowers nearby—picking one out by the stalk and sniffing it experimentally.

“L-Lilacs...” she absentmindedly realised, looking down at the small thing as she carefully clutched it in her fingers. “Same as back home... I wonder...”

She was processing this whole situation at her own pace, and in her own way, but she was relieved somewhat that a few things were familiar. It would've been worse if everything about this place was alien. Perhaps there was even a place like the Elemental Nations somewhere...

She was clutching at straws, but it was enough to get her hopes up a little. Remembering the others, she glanced between them before settling her gaze on Aichi—shyly shuffling up to him before she gently pushed the flower into his hair.

“...Th-There! I thought it'd look good on you...~!” she said in a kindly tone, her head tilting to one side as she smiled innocently at him.

London (Aichi)

Aichi can't help but gasp a little at the shock Hinata suffers, not really expecting it. Man, he totally would have fallen for it, too!

Still, maybe the Joker is just a prankster...? A... really mean prankster, but a prankster nonetheless...

He gets a sheepish expression and a sweat drop watching all of it unfold, completely uncertain of how to proceed. The poor guy's so out of his element... He's in a strange city with strange people he's never met...

It's then that Hinata approaches him, and places the flower in his hair. At first he's a little confused, but he gently brushes his fingers against the flower and realizes what it is that's now there.

A small blush appears on his face.

"E-Eh? Oh, um..."

Aichi can't help but twiddle his fingers a bit. It's a little odd, having someone do something like this, but...

"I... Do you think so?"

He never would have figured flowers were something he'd look good with, but he doesn't want to be rude...

Still, it makes him feel a little more at ease... More happy. It's very kind of Hinata to do this.

There's No Place Like London

It was probably a good thing that Clara Kent had been at her day job at the time. Being pulled away in the midst of trying to rescue someone was not something she would have wanted; the guilt of not being able to save them would have been awful, and a bright blue jumpsuit with a red cape probably would have drawn way too much attention to her.

Still, she didn't stay in her civilian clothes for long- not after seeing an uncomfortably familiar face dangerously close to some young children. It was true that back home, this person had...different measurements, and dealing with her was usually Batwoman's job. But the fact of the matter was, Batwoman wasn't around.

It was a good thing that Clara always kept her other outfit on either underneath her clothes or at least discretely tucked into a messenger bag, because it seemed she'd be needing it. This looked like a job for...

Superwoman!

Changing discretely in a public restroom stall (contrary to popular belief, walk-in-phone booths weren't ideal- they were transparent, small, and increasingly rare), she emerged clad in an outfit that was a familiar sight in her homeworld of Earth 11. She soared through the sky briefly before landing (surprisingly gently) between the Joker and the kids. The fact that this Joker was a man was...strange, but not grounds for her treating him any differently.

"Stop right there, Joker!"

Hinata Hyūga

“M-Mhm...!” Hinata nodded in confirmation to Aichi's question, realising with inward delight that he seemed to be as much of a wallflower as her. This relieved her somewhat, and she let her form relax as her tone became yet even more gentle. “It suits you... I-I've found that purple and blue can c-compliment each other nicely...~”

She flushed as she gestured vaguely towards her lavender-coloured jacket, and then to her own raven hair, before she began twiddling her fingers together again with a ghost of a smile on her face. The sudden arrival of a flying figure caused her to snap out of her state and gasp with surprise, and she marvelled at the sheer power and authority this woman seemed to radiate.

Yet somehow, she didn't feel intimidated. If anything, her heart swelled in her chest with awe, and she felt suddenly as if she was in the presence of a Hokage or someone equally as respectable.

Suddenly, she felt just as safe as she would've back in her home village.

The park, or rather a garden square, that these men and women had landed in was surrounded on all sides by pristine white buildings, uniformly designed with pillared porches at their front doors, beneath ornate balconies with the occasional potted plant. There had been the occasional person milling about on the pavements or in the park itself, mostly keeping their heads down, trying their best not to get involved with the crazy looking people that were appearing out of nowhere and congregating in that particular corner.

The general attitude, however, changed dramatically as the newest arrival made her presence known. Suddenly, the joggers and dog-walkers and little old grannies were coming straight over and forming a crowd, full of gasps of awe and excited murmurs about the flying lady dressed like Superman. A few of them were whispers recognising the joker, seemingly with just as much excitement.

Heading out with the cathedral behind him, Darth Imperius would find himself walking a quaint little tour of life on another world. Greenish-grey stone buildings housed coffee shops, pizzerias, Japanese restaurants, a Sport's Direct her and a Marks and Spencers there. The roads streamed steadily with motorcars and motorbuses. A few people could be seen milling about, half of them giving him strange looks, and the other half walking briskly past, trying not to make eye contact.

Yamamoto and Zagreus would find themselves close to a wall shielding a busy road from the banks of the river. They'd probably find Yzma arguing with her minion by the steps of a great air force memorial, spitting distance away from a blue and red ferry boat.

Right on the other side of the river, there loomed the majestic London eye, where Tenya Iida was disembarking, only to be confronted by a burly security officer. "'scuse me, sir," he said, "Y' didn't pay with proper legal tender at the admission booth. 's British pounds or nothing, sir, so if you'd like to come with me please..."

(Joker)

Joker for a moment simply watched with disgust as Hinata started to decorate Aichi's hair with a blue flower, "Ew, can't you be any more cutesy seriously is like I'm watching a Disney cartoon is disgusting" he said as he pulled out his tongue with all the dignity and maturity of a five year old boy, but his hole act suddenly stoped as he witnessed one of the most cursed symbols for crime anywhere, a simple yellow shield with an Red S, but the weirdest part is that it was being presented over some large mammaries instead of the usual pectorals.

"wait weren't you suppose to be a blonde and with a boob window, or are you supposed to be another cousin or something, how many surprise family members does that flying boy scout has? last son of Krypton my ass" he said thinking this must be a relative of superman rather than an alternate version of him "either way stoping what? I did nothing but light pranks on them since when is that illegal?" he pointed out towards her.

Warwick Square (Aichi)

Aichi smiles a little, relieved by Hinata saying that. Purple and blue go well together, then. He'll have to remember that for the future.

"Is that so? Thank you—"

However, he does get a little distracted whenever Superwoman appears. He can't help but stare in awe.

"...!"

Is that... a superheroine? Like a real one? With the way she flew down between them and the Joker, he can't help but be amazed.

However, he does grow a bit confused when he hears the two interact. He doesn't really understand what the Joker's talking about, but...

"Do you two know each other?"

Estelle

Well, that settled that. Estelle put away her staff, though she kept glaring at Joker until he got the message. "I'm watching you."

And then Hinata walked over to Aichi and put a flower on the poor kid's head. Maybe it was the sentimentalist in her, but she couldn't help but gush. "Daaawwww! That's so sweet! Seriously, you two look so cute together! Almost makes me wish Joshua was here. I mean, you're nearly as cute as—"

And then the girl in blue came down before she could finish. Good thing too. She really didn't want to think about that again. Besides, she and Joshua were supposed to be brother and sister, right? The last thing she wanted was to be anything but. Or so she told herself.

But the new girl was enough to take her mind off that bit of unpleasantness. Just looking at her, she could tell she was strong. Like, crazy strong. Only her dad was anywhere close, and that was pushing it. But putting him next to her had was pretty apt. Because she felt the same kind of strength. The same sort of kindness. The same compassion and warmth as...

"...mom?"

...huh.

That wasn't what she was expecting.

Maybe that's why her cheek suddenly felt so wet?

Suddenly, she was really wishing she had still Joshua.

By the River Thames

Michael was simply fixing something in his house.

The sky looked vastly different than usual, he thought as he continues on his work. He was somewhat concerned, but it didn't bother him much.

All of a sudden...

"OW!" He briefly screamed.

He looked around. ..hold on. This isn't Hurricane, Utah - at least, not how he remembers it. This seems to be London, but.. How?

"Wh.. What the?" He stood up, before realising his toolbox's content was scattered all around. He puts them back into the toolbox. Noticing a flashlight somehow got its way there, he brings it with him just in case.

"Hello? Is there anyone here by any chance?" He said as he walks along the riverbank.

In the middle of f@$*ing London:

I'm pretty sure I was in Houston just now.

Houston doesn't have a London Eye hanging around in the distance.

Well, shit. I got teleported. To London, of all places.

It was smooth too. Just swinging around, to look for scum in the city to remind that they're not invincible, not free from pain. I was still swinging my web, just in a different environment. Because of this, I just missed my web. Different layouts and different heights. Thankfully, I managed to recover soon enough, hanging upside down just like Peter Parker would.

'...An exact replica', I thought as I looked myself on the glass. But now was not the time for musings and trailed-off thoughts. I should find bastard responsible for this and return to Houston. Scanning for this city from some high place might be a good idea, cause I have a feeling that I'm gonna stay in this city for a long time.

Huh, London Eye. It's high enough, so why not? So, I swing towards it. Not used to doing that in this city, but so far no major mistakes. I rush to that over-glorified Ferris wheel. It's getting close, and... Look at that, already someone standing there. That guy is... oh, of course, a superhero. Can tell by that armor he is wearing. I climbed to the wheel to reach that superhero. Hope he doesn't know me. I don't wanna be arrested after just arriving to this place.

"Hey!" I called out to him while someone beneath is saying that getting on the wheel is illegal or something. Don't care. "Are you a superhero of this place?"

Yzma (River Thames)

Hearing a pained scream put a stop to Yzma and Huaca's argument, causing them to look around, and take in their surroundings for the first time...which naturally led to another argument sprouting.

—

"Huaca! Explain this!"

"What are you asking me for, woman? You're the sorceress, obviously this is your fault, you summoned Supai too early!"

"I'd know if my ritual worked! Though I won't lie, the sky looks much better this way."

"...It really does, doesn't it? Shame we're not at home. Your fault."

"Hold that thought, we've got company. Hopefully someone who has answers."

—

Putting their bickering on hold for the time being, Yzma approached the nearest person she could see, that being a purple man. Undead, perhaps?

River Thames

Water from 'the sticks'? Did he mean he was from the countryside? That would explain the laurel in his hair, though not the skulls or the flaming feet or the toga. However, none of that seemed to register as odd to Yamamoto as he relaxed back into his usual smile. "Well, don't push yourself too hard if you're still recovering. It'll just mess up your body even more."

So the man from the river had suddenly appeared here just like Yamamoto had, though he'd come from the country instead of a town. And he wasn't anyone that Yamamoto knew, which was different from when he'd been thrust into the future. More confused than ever, Yamamoto took stock of their surroundings again and spotted a couple of people nearby- maybe they'd have more luck getting answers out of them.

And so, Yamamoto raised an arm and called over to the old woman speaking to her pet rock and the purple man that she was approaching. "Excuse me! We're lost- could you tell us where we are, please?"

Zagreus immediately chuckled in response to the young boy's concern. It was nice to hear someone worried about his safety, even if there was no need. He'd been revived completely so he was definitely fine.

Before he could really explain, though, some other faces popped up and they were distracted. An woman who looked quite a bit like his grandmother and a man with purple skin. Not something too odd in his experience, remembering Meg who had blue skin for instance.

"I can't say I've seen much of it, but this doesn't appear to be Greece," he added after his new young friend, "and I have no idea how I even got here." What made the Styx suddenly decide this random place was better for him?

River Thames

There's other people by the river, too. He quickly sighed of relief. "Well, good to know I'm not the only one here." He thought to himself.

He simply waved at Yzma. "Oh, good... Evening..? I don't know what time it is, but well, nice to meet you."

Noticing Yamamoto's question, he decides to answer it. "This seems to be somewhere by the River Thames in London, England. I.. Don't know how I got here all of a sudden, but it's good to know that I'm not alone here, at least."

Hinata Hyūga

So this flying woman seemed to know of the Joker, and (at least to an extent) the reverse applied too. Hmm. Hinata decided to file this information away for later, and instead found herself blushing under Estelle's gushing—going a bright red and tapping her index fingers together as she shyly looked away from Aichi. But even the former had gone silent upon seeing the flying woman.

Well, almost. She'd muttered something that made Hinata freeze for a moment, before looking over at Estelle in pity. She bit her lip and fidgeted a moment in indecision, before meekly approaching Estelle and placing a hesitant hand on her shoulder; squeezing it slightly in reassurance.

“...a-are you okay...?” she managed, somehow having the courage to look her in the eyes as she spoke.

Estelle

"Huh?" Estelle turned around in a daze, only snapping back when Hinata squeezed her shoulder tight. For a moment, she almost imagined her mother really was there. Letting her know it was gonna be okay.

But she knew better, didn't she?

She rubbed her eyes, but didn't take Hinata's hand off her shoulder. It felt nice. Kinda like having a little sister. "uh, thanks. I think. Sorry 'bout that! Not sure what happened there."

She looked at Superwoman again, this time with fresh eyes. She knew what she was looking at. And... she wasn't her mom. Didn't even have her hair. But she had that same sort of strength. That same warmth and compassion. The same her mom had when she...

bad Estele BAD you already went through this you already got this sorted out WHY ARE YOU

...and another tear.

She was almost glad Joshua wasn't here. Least he wouldn't go calling her a crybaby.

"...sorry. Again. Guess she just... reminds me of someone, ya know?"

Edited by kkhohoho on Jan 24th 2021 at 9:30:39 AM

Hinata Hyūga

“Hai. She looks very powerful...” Hinata whispered, her head falling low as she breathed a shaky sigh. “...I-It's okay, though. I-I understand... I-I miss my mom, too...”

A few tears dropped to the ground, before she wiped at her eyes furiously, giving Estelle a forced smile of encouragement before she noticed the crowd around them. Faltering, she began poking her fingers together again and ducked behind Estelle shyly, hoping she wouldn't draw too much attention.

“...Th-They recognize them... h-how...?”

Estelle

...wow. Her too, huh? Like, she knew she wasn't the only that suffered. Plenty of people lost someone they cared about back in the war. Even Joshua didn't have anyone before she met him, least as far as she knew. But she never thought she'd meet someone else who went through the same thing. Like, maybe Kloe, but that was it.

And then she skittered behind her like a beetle or something. Not that she had anything against beetles. She loved beetles! Always tried to catch beetles and butterflies and other cute little bugs when she was a kid! And that just made Hinata all the more adorable.

"Maybe they came from the same place? It's a big world, ya know? But, hey don't worry about it! Anything happens, big sis Estelle's gonna take out her huge red stick and make everything better, kay?" She turned her head, beaming like the sun before giving her a big pat on the back. She wasn't sure how, but she knew things were gonna work out in the end! Besides, she already met Hinata. That was something worth celebrating, right?

Least that's what she told herself.

Warwick Square (Aichi)

Aichi blushes, too, thinking about how Estelle gushed over him and Hinata earlier. It was just Hinata being nice is all, nothing to really gush about, right...?

Still, he sticks close to Estelle and Hinata, feeling most safe around them as Superwoman stands between them and the Joker. He still can't help but watch the mysterious heroine in awe, but he moves his eyes back to the two girls...

...And notices the two girls talking about their mothers, and Aichi can't help but frown a little. He's not really sure he should interfere... It seems like a rather personal matter, something he doesn't have much place in...

"..."

His parents are still alive, although his dad lives in the U.S.

He misses him a lot, but they still talk sometimes... It's not the same as what Hinata and Estelle seem to be talking about, that's for sure...

It's then that he notices the crowd, and sort of shrinks a bit, feeling a little awkward. He's been bombarded by crowds before so it's not completely new, but it's still incredibly awkward...!

Maybe he should try to speak with Hinata and Estelle more...? They seem to be in the same situation as him, maybe they can all be friends...?

But ack, what should he say?

"Ah... I wonder if they're popular..."

He says that rather sheepishly, complete with a sweat drop and a mild smile.

Yzma (River Thames)

As both Yzma and Huaca listened to the man talk, they connected the dots...and did not seem impressed in the slightest.

"What self-respecting emperor names their country England?" Huaca grumbled in a gravelly voice, and Yzma couldn't help but agree, before she herself spoke up.

"And where is this 'England'?" The sorceress inquired.

Well, this place certainly fits the description of a pre-spaceflight civilization. That, and the way the people looked at him shows they may had not even heard or saw a Sith in their lives. Which was a good thing. But he'll definetely need answers as to where he is, and how he can get back in contact with the Empire and his friends. Ashara must be concerned by now. Even with him showing her a different point of view, the jedi side of her won't give out.

After some time of walking, the sith found himself near some a river. And he could notice plently of people unique looking compared to the people who looked at him with confusion and fear. May as well check it out.

The Sith Lord walked to where most of the others were, before speaking. "I don't suppose you all can tell me what's the name of this pre-spaceflight planet am I on, do you?"

That old woman looks like a slightly less decrepit version of his master Zash. Slightly.

Hinata Hyūga

Hinata found herself staring at Estelle in admiration, before nodding meekly and smiling at her —a barest hint of a teasing tone entering her voice as she grinned brightly at her.

“...O-Okay, big sis...~!”

She blushed despite herself, but didn't go back on her word. Aichi's awkwardness caused her to smile a little. Giving him a gentle look, she humoured his observation, and entertained the thought genuinely for a few moments or so.

”Hmm... i-it looks like they're both pretty famous. M-Maybe they're... c-celebrities, or something like that...?”

Tenya Iida

While on the ride, Iida notices the individual speaking to him, and responds with: "Well, technically I can act as a Pro Hero during times of emergency. I have the license to do so - Though I'm not from here. I'm from Japan - Except someone with a warping Quirk sent me to Britain and I'm trying to find my way back. Except I don't know the layout of England that well, so I'm looking for directions."

After getting off and being dragged off by the security guard, Iida looks at them with a worried expression, and says: "But.............I paid the right amount! You didn't even leave a sign saying you'll only accept British currency - I didn't even know you won't accept Japanese currency. AND IT IS LEGAL TENDER, TOO!"

River Thames

Michael looked back at Yzma, hearing her and Huaca's grumblings.

"Who knows who named England? All I know about England's name origins is that it's named after a tribe that settled in here, the Angles. As for where England is, it's in the United Kingdom, in Europe. Thought that was common knowledge."

He looked at the river. "Weird. Didn't expected to be here all of a sudden," He mumbled to himself. "I wonder how we got here."
