Everything is broken
With Kev's death, one chain of reality fixes itself. So many to go... but one stable thread helps.

And then... what's this? It looks like one world has not only not gotten better... its gotten worse. That one is a handful. Sarah's presence there, and other events, unhinged it more than he thought, perhaps.

Well, time to make adjustments.

.................................................................................

Molly Hayes, in whatever state and up to whatever she was doing at the time, will find herself dropping about twenty feet, into a desert landscape. Hills are the only visible features... but in the distance, over one of the rises, the smell of baking blueberry muffins wafts through the air.

	Molly was out grocery shopping when her world changed. She was too completely caught off-guard to even scream as she dropped in the air, landing in the desert. Getting her bearings, Molly walked in the direction of the smell of blueberry muffins. "...Hello?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

The direction of the muffins turns out to be a combination kitchen/classroom, and that's it. There's no walls, just a tiled floor, an oven with no obvious place to plug it in, a counter, with blueberry muffins, fresh out of the oven, countertop with coffeemaker and juice... and then a blackboard set up in front of numerous grade-school sized desks.

A single resident is tending to the muffins, a medium sized, balding man.

"Ah, there you are. Please, come have a muffin, have a seat. Coffee?"

	Molly looked around the current setting, with a completely confused look on her face. "Thanks..." she said, taking a muffin and the offered coffee. "I don't mean to be rude, but what the heck just happened?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well... you'll be easier to inform than most others. You're familiar with Sarah Rogers, I believe?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Molly nodded. "We're....friends." She still loved Sarah and considered her her girlfriend, but wasn't sure if she moved on. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Your world has remained unhinged in time. She broke it, you see, when she was there the first time, when she saved Anya Stark. The last visit and previous people from your world helped... but something is causing it to drift further and further off of its path in time. For this... certain corrections have to be made.

Specifically, as of right now, your world is drifting towards a time when a group of eight criminals will rule the world between them."

Opposed by a force he can't see... but can make some corrections for.

"Almost everyone you know is dead, and you've been mind controlled into serving the Mandarin as one of his primary criminal enforcers in that time.

You have an opportunity to make this a lie. If you fail, you will return to that time and situation. But be warned, you can fail, and you can die. If Sarah told you about the tasks and worlds she's seen, you know the rest."

	Molly was silent for a long moment, as she listened to all that he had to say, nodding at the familiar parts that Sarah had explained to her. "So..do I just yes and go to where the rest of the team is? That's how this works, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He nods. "You have time to finish your muffin and coffee, or get some juice. The world ahead is a difficult one... indeed, you'll face many difficulties. This isn't an easy life or easy path... but your options are to say no, and go back and prepare to live life as a mind-controlled slave... or say yes, and I will send you to join the team as soon as you're ready.... though I do suggest eating first. These are fresh baked... and far better than anything you'll get where you're going."

	"I'll go," said Molly. "I'd rather help save the world in anyway that I can, over going back and being a mind-controlled slave." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
