Holiday on Exiles Road
They disappear from the midst of the chaos surrounding the assault on the Helicarrier, Sentry's Tower disappearing even as they fade out.

As she reappears, every bone in Sarah's body hurts. She's sure there's at least a couple cracked ribs, and third degree burns on her back, despite the armor - which is gone now, along with that world's Mjolnir. The only remaining sign of it is that her own clothes are in better shape than if she'd taken the cheap shot in the back in them.

She blinks awake, not hearing the crowds and chaos of battle, but rather, waves lapping up on a beach. Then something else, far more surprising. She sits up, slowly and painfully, but nonetheless under her own power, glancing at the others.

"The Tallus says we have a week to rest and recover. I a week, there'll be a surfer out there..." she points out over the water, testing her arm a bit. "Right now she's just a high schooler on some kind of cheer team road trip vacation, but in 20 years, she's supposed to be the diplomat who prevents World War III and nuclear armageddon. The timeline ripples mean she's going to die in a surfing accident. If we save the cheerleader, we save the world... til then, we can take it easy."

She glances at the Tallus and sighs. A little relieved herself, but she's sure some of the others may take it harder. "Its January 4th here, timeline running just slightly faster than where we were. I'm sorry guys, we missed Christmas this year... but we're getting a few days off."

	"No worries, Sarah, you haven't ruined Christmas forever. The holidays without Mum and the whole family wouldn't have been much good anyway. Now, we're going you somewhere with enough privacy to take off that shirt so we can get you treated." (Reply to this)(Thread)

Sarah slowly and painfully shrugs out of her overshirt. She has a wrap and sports bra under it, so she isn't too worried. She needs some new clothes anyway, after all she's been through, her stuff is in bad shape.
The burns are bad, and a lot of the bruises and lacerations are still healing, it wouldn't take much to find some signs of cracked ribs on closer examination either.

"I have a healing factor - nothing remotely like Wolverine's, but given a week to take it easy, I'll be fine."

	"Good. In the meantime, we'll break out the aloe, gauze, and lots of tape, at least." And Kev will get to it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll see about getting some new clothes and laying in some supplies. I have a feeling we'll need things to do while we sit around." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"This world certainly seems less chaotic than the last. I am looking forward to a rest of sorts before we move on." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)
