Acts of Avenging, pt. 2 - Mother Russia
The teleportation is far easier this time. Russia is a very, very big place, and there's no magical barriers or resistance.

In fact, there's not a lot of anything. Looking around the area where they come in, remote, in order to avoid notice, it would look like the village that was once here was struck with a bomb, save nothing is burnt. A wave of destruction radiates out from a central point, and everything from there is demolished. The foundations of houses sit bare, with wreckage strewn away from them. The signs of at least two mass graves aren't that well hidden not far away from the village. A few hastily put together crosses of sticks line the sites now, but this village is lifeless. A wooden sign, far enough on the outskirts to have survived whatever hit this place can still be read, at least by those who speak Russian.
Anzhero-Sudzhensk, population: 86,480

With all the flat land, in the distance on direction, the signs of cobbled together stick and cloth hovels can be seen, a few figures moving about, never staying out in the open too long. Much more distantly the opposite direction, the faint radiance of lights of what has to be a massive city can be somewhat discerned, but the place must be massive to be at all evident at this distance.

Sarah rises a bit off the ground for a slightly better view. "Gods. This is horrible."

If they didn't die first. "Good for us or good for them?" It was a rhetorical question, of course, but something she needed to say. She'd spent a long time thinking about it with no one to talk to.

"Good for the worlds, or universes, or whatever. In the face of that, and in the face of the kind of power it would take to do something like this, I don't think our lives mean much."

"I'd like to believe that." From the tone of her voice, it was pretty clear that she didn't.

"I have my share of problems with the whole thing too. I just figure that there'd be much easier people than us to get to do these things, so there must be some purpose behind some of the people they select."

"We have powers, training, experience, and the 'Timebroker' knows just what to say to keep us going. I think we're a pretty good, easy choice." Blink sighed. "Sorry, I told myself I wouldn't say this. It's important to stay optimistic, keep hope alive."

"Its also important to ask questions, stay alert, look out for each other and examine every situation. It'd be so easy to get jaded like this/ Honestly, its not that I blame you for having doubts - I think its a good thing. I just wanted to make sure you knew you're not alone, either in questioning this whole thing, or in general."

"Yes, I know. But thank you." She paused. "You should get some sleep." Mother hen tendencies were very hard to get rid of once they were developed.

"I will. Couldn't sleep, and when I'm not too beaten up, I don't need much rest. I came out of that fight with the Hulk better than the last couple times. Anyway, I'll try and get some sleep if you do. You could use it."

Blink smiled. "I will soon, don't worry. You go on." She just wanted a few more minutes outside first.

Sarah nods and lifts off, headed back to her room.

Blink looked back at the sky.

"Here we go again." She mumbled.
