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.

	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)

	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)

	"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)

	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)

	"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)

	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)

	"...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)

	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)

	"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)
