London, 1940
After some discussion with the team, they decided to jump to the London Blitz in an attempt to meet up with Christina at the end of her time jumps, to catch her before she was stuck wherever Dave had sent her. Jenny had no trouble bringing the team along--she could take up to six "passengers" safely at one time--but once they actually arrived, that's where her expertise ended. This was, after all, a different universe and while the generalities were much the same, some details were bound to be different.

"Remember guys, do not trust what you know about history. It's only a guide here, not fact."

In a blink they were on the streets of London. A quick check of a newspaper gave them the date: 29 December, 1940. It was a perfect match to the book Tina'd been reading, a book about the Second Great Fire of London. The team was just hours away from the devastating air raid.

"Christina appears to be getting herself involved in notable events, my money's on her being at St. Paul's Catherdral. It was famously spared in the raid by the efforts of firefighters."

Orienting herself a bit, Jenny started leading the group as unobtrusively as possible towards the landmark.

	Anastasia followed, keeping her eyes open for Tina. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"And my money is the notion that that's the first place that gets blown up when the bombs drop, since we can't trust history." Joey says, looking around. "Where else can people go to ground around here? If there are any other shelters, we might do better checkin' 'em out." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rose sniffed the air, looking for signs of Tina, as she followed. "Bub's got a point too," she said. "Frosty'd be trying to fight off the air raid, if ya ask me. In the thick of it." She also really wanted to know just what Joey had been talking to Jenny about. She had her suspicions, of course, but she'd be danged if she was just going to leave him...

	Chris tried to remember some of the advice her dad had given her on time-travel, but she was just feeling a little too out of her league in all this right now. She sniffs the area, along with Rose. "There's some clusters nearby... do we go to the shelters to see if she's helping with relief, or look for counter-attacks?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We're not far from the cathedral. We should at least start there. Then we can check the Tube." Jenny kept walking forward but she was starting to have a weird feeling. "Rose...do you smell anything familiar at all?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wild_rose 2010-12-06 02:36 am UTC (link)
	Rose shook her head. "Nothin'." She frowned, sniffed again. "No... wait. Mebbe. But... not Tina..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_discord 2010-12-06 03:37 am UTC (link)
	Joey keeps scanning the area, looking for any sign of the airships to show up and start the bombing, which he isn't looking forward to. "What's up, Jenny?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notyetqueen 2010-12-06 03:47 am UTC (link)
	"Something the matter?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_baddie 2010-12-08 05:16 am UTC (link)
	Dave walked up behind the group at right that moment. "Nothing's the matter except that you're in the wrong place and the wrong time. Jenny, I thought you would have known better. Tsk." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_discord 2010-12-08 02:38 pm UTC (link)
	Joey calls flame to his hands. "Where's Tina? We're through playing games with you, pal." Joey says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'd answer his question," Anastasia said, going into ruby form. "Now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sknkt! Out came the claws. "Real interesting in checkin' out your insides, buster." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Chris drops to all fours, shifting further and digging in her heels as her hind-legs tense. "Dibs on his legs." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You sick sonofabitch." The others had their own reactions to Dave's presence but Jenny's was different. Hers was an older rage, less about Tina and more about older crimes. The girl didn't bother with threats; instead she ran headlong into him and attacked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_baddie 2010-12-10 12:35 am UTC (link)
	He expected Jenny's rage and laughed when the others made threats. As Jenny attacked him he split into multiples just as he had back in Missouri, each one ready to deal with the team members on on one. "You really don't know where she is? And you're supposed to be an elite team!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_discord 2010-12-10 01:18 am UTC (link)
	"All right, time for my Control-Alt-Delete spell." Joey says, throwing a burst of flame at the center one. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Anastasia fired an optic blast at one of the duplicates. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_baddie 2010-12-11 04:41 am UTC (link)
	The duplicates, even though injured by the actions of Joey and Anastasia, simply replaced themselves. Dave couldn't do it indefinitely, but he could for a bit. And the smug look on his face said it all, even as Jenny engaged in hand-to-hand with him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_misc 2010-12-11 04:42 am UTC (link)
	"Where IS she?" Jenny swung her fists at Dave's face and while she made contact, he only laughed. So she swung again before taking her own blow that sent her backwards. Colliding with Rose, Jenny hit the ground hard. It seemed to bring something to mind. "I know where she is. She's not here. We have to get out of here. NOW." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wild_rose 2010-12-11 04:53 am UTC (link)
	Rose grunted as she was knocked down from the impact. "How the heck do ya know this guy anyway...?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_misc 2010-12-11 04:58 am UTC (link)
	"He's my dad." Jenny picked herself up and then lent Rose a hand. "Get the others together. I'm gonna block Dave long enough for me to 'port us out of here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_discord 2010-12-11 07:59 pm UTC (link)
	"Your what>?" Joey asks, blasting at the duplicates. He doesn't know if Dave can do this forever, but if he can't, all that energy expenditure is going to cost him something. This situation also made Joey glad that he'd never had parental issues to deal with. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wild_rose 2010-12-11 11:47 pm UTC (link)
	"...You have got to be flippin' kiddin' me," Rose growled as she got to his feet. "Annie! Kit-Cat! Let's haul tail!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pym_kitten 2010-12-12 03:34 am UTC (link)
	Chris shrinks down, having transformed to fight off the duplicates, and closes ranks with the rest of the team. "Ready when you are..." She growls, still towering over the others, claws and fangs at the ready. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notyetqueen 2010-12-12 06:04 pm UTC (link)
	"Of course," Anastasia said, firing another optic blast. "It's always a supervillain parent." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_discord 2010-12-14 01:46 am UTC (link)
	"Hey now, mine is toast. No pun intended. We don't have to worry about my old man coming back to screw us over." Joey says. "No offense, Jenny. Just sayin'." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wild_rose 2010-12-14 02:14 am UTC (link)
	The fact that this trip was all a waste means one teleportation was wasted too. Which maybe meant not going home. Not that she was leaving without Joey. That she was dang sure about. "We goin' or what?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_misc 2010-12-14 02:19 am UTC (link)
	"Don't knock the villain parents. It's not like we get to choose." Jenny gathered to everyone together. "Prepare yourselves to jump right into fighting. We're going to war...and the second someone see's Tina, grab her so we can get the hell out." In a blink, they left London. (End. Continue in new scene.) (Reply to this)(Parent)
