I've been through the desert...
One moment she felt her lips on Anya's. It was a dream and nightmare come true, each in their own ways. The Talus sent a jolt up her arm, and suddenly instead of everything she'd gotten so used to, and the feel of her best friend and crush next to her, she felt warm wind, and a bright light made her shield her eyes against a scorching sun.

She knew right where she was. Back in the desert where everything had gone so horribly wrong. Even as alike as most deserts ended up, she somehow just knew.

Sarah sinks into the sand, drawing her knees up to her chest and settling her head on her knees, trying to collect her thoughts, trying hard not to cry, trying to be pulled together when someone else showed up.

The Timebroker can wait.

	Quinn had been sitting on the floor in a lotus position of the Sanctum Santorum meditating when it felt like someone grabbed him and yanked him out of there. Instead of the dark, cool atmosphere, it was bright and hot. He opened his eyes and blinked against the glare of the bright sun. "What the bloody hell?" he said as he climbed to his feet and looked around. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	At least this time Blink knew to keep her mouth shut when she fell head first into the sand. "Oh no." Blink stood, not even bothering to brush off the sand. "No, no, no. Not again!" She wanted to scream. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Another voice caught Quinn's attention and he pushed back his immediate concerns. "You okay?" he asked the pink girl. "You know what's going on here?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Sadly. You've just been taken out of your timeline so you can get shipped around fixing other timelines until you-" Blink bit down on her tongue to keep from saying the word die.

It wasn't his fault the Timebroker had unhinged her from time again. No need to take it out on him.

She sighed. "I'm sorry. I thought I was over with this. You're not going to be able to go back home for a long time."

	"This has happened to you before?" His face fell at the thought of not being able to go home. No. This had to be some sort of trick. Someone was messing with his mind. "This can't be right." He looked around. "Bollocks!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	One moment, he had been heading back to Squadron City, the next thing he knew it was all he could do to stay in the air. Only pilot honed instincts and long-practice with the Power Prism kept him from taking a dive into the dirt. "What the heck?" he said aloud, hovering a few feet off the ground. "Where am I...?"

	"I'm wondering the same thing, mate," Quinn said to the newcomer. "According to the pretty pink lady here, we were pulled from our realities and we're supposed to fix timelines or some such." He smiled. "My name's Quinn Braddock. This pretty lady is Blink." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He set down next to the two of them, the glow around his body vanishing into the prism set into his glove. He briefly considered his heroic identity, but then again, the Squadron had gone on TV and unmasked. And when you factor in the alternate realities thing... "Joe Ledger," he said. "Wait, alternate realities? Like the one the Avengers are from?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Hearing a familiar voice a ways off, Sarah wipes her eyes as best she can, and lifts up out of the sand, hovering closer to Rose. "Rose? Oh no..." She sighs. "Trust me, this stopped being funny a long time before that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Quinn heard voices and looked over to see that more had arrived and were talking to the blonde girl. "Hallo!" he called out and waved. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	That's when the party hears the sounds of a motorcycle moving through the desert. Roxanne is here and her beloved Harley pulls up to the group. "We got s'more people looks like." (Reply to this)(Thread)
