Runa had decided to continue journeying with the X-Men, hoping that it would take her mind off of things. Her brother's trial had concluded on Asgard and he had been sentenced - it wasn't life imprisonment thankfully, as otherwise Runa might've done something reckless. Asgardians were long lived. She just had to be patient. But she couldn't bear seeing him imprisoned and with her parents' blessing, she left with the X-Men once more. The month or so on Asgard had been.... not nice, more of [i]strange[/i] really. But so was the odd rips and tears in the fabric of reality - [i]especially the one that they were all pulled on through[/i]. Runa recalled a blinding flash of red light, the ship vanishing around her, and then suddenly, she hit the ground in the woods. Runa took a moment, taking in the scenery around her. It looked like Midgard - scenery like this was unlikely to occur on other planets in the Nine Realms, but not impossible. Of course, they could be in some other portion of the universe entirely - there were hundreds of planets out there and Midgard was not entirely unique. Still, the fact that Pietro seemed able to breathe was promising - Midgardian lungs could be a bit picky about oxygen. [color=#a81a75]"It may be Midgard,"[/color] Runa said softly, standing up to her feet. She reached into her bag of runes and pulled the mannaz rune, and twirled her finger in a circle around it, concentrating on Lance. A flash of insight then came into her mind. [color=#a81a75]"Lance is several miles north from here."[/color] She then twirled her finger in the opposite direction, focusing on Edus. [color=#a81a75]"And Edus is an even greater distance north."[/color][hr][hr][center][h3][b][color=cc33ff]Guin Stark[/color][/b][/h3][img]https://i.imgur.com/R0DGpSD.png?1[/img][hr][b][color=cc33ff]Location:[/color][/b] New York City Alleyway [b][color=cc33ff]Skills:[/color][/b] Telepathy [hr][hr][/center] Sure, Guin was a [i]little[/i] homesick having not seen her dad, Pepper, and Happy in what felt like fifteen years, but it was SPACE! How often was she going to have the chance to go on a fun space adventure? Didn't everyone go traveling crazy places in their 20s anyways? It was a rite of passage, an experience that she deserved to have. She was already married pretty young, there was no reason to forgo the rest of the fun 20s life experiences ahead of her. Besides, Guin [i]adored[/i] space. She had wanted to be Princess Leia ever since she was a little kid, of course, Princess Leia as a Jedi - lightsabers were just way too cool to pass up. And hanging around Asgard had been nice, 1) as it was a cool alien civilization and 2) she and Pietro got some much needed privacy. The little ship hadn't exactly been soundproof. [color=cc33ff]"What the fuuuuck?!"[/color] Guin screamed, as the universe decided to swallow them whole, engulfing them in strange red light, making their ship disappear, and then spitting Guin out. The next thing she knew, she was inside of a dumpster, Amidala clinging to her head in terror. [color=cc33ff]"Owww... I think we ought to sue for that one, do you think the universe can be sued?"[/color] Guin grumbled, debating just taking a few minutes with her eyes closed in the dumpster, but the smell was [i]awful[/i]. She slowly pulled herself out, finding herself in... New York City? [i]Home![/i] Her heart soared and she teared up slightly, not having realized how much she had missed this place. The skyline was so gorgeous and beautiful, she could even see her home from here, Stark Tower. But then she realized it wasn't what she saw, it was what she didn't [i]hear[/i] - the city was quiet, dead, and it was the middle of the day. [color=cc33ff]"Umm... Did we miss something? Why's it so... dead? It looks like a club at opening on a Wednesday night out there...."[/color] She then noticed that the only people with her were Lance and Annie. Where were the others?! [color=cc33ff][i]Babe? You there? I think we're in the fucking zombie apocalypse here, it's freaking me out. Babe? Baaaaabe?![/i][/color] [color=7ea7d8][i]Where exactly did you end up? I'm in a wooded area with the Asgardians.[/i][/color] [color=cc33ff][i]In a dumpster in New York City, somehow? The city's like fucking dead - there's hardly anyone out on the streets, it's trippy. Did something happen while we were gone?[/i][/color] [color=7ea7d8][i]We would have heard something though right? We weren't exactly gone for too long, it was like what, 5 or 6 months or something? Things can't go that much to hell right?[/i][/color] [color=cc33ff][i]I mean it's not like super villains have a cooldown window between attacks or even coordinate to make sure it's a good time... It's possible that... Something happened...[/i][/color] Guin bit her lip and tugged on her hair, dislodging Amidala ever so slightly. She really wanted to check on her family now, make sure that everyone was okay.
