Josh's Reality: STAR Labs, Gordon Family Compound: Invitations

[super-bro.livejournal.com]

Lar--who'd been spending much of his time exploring various portions of the multiverse--arrived outside the complex, having teleported into the universe high in orbit.  He wasn't quite sure how one got a message across multiversal lines, but Josh somehow had.  He'd asked Lar to come celebrate, but not specified what.

Still, he was always happy to come see a friend.  His feet touched down on the ground with barely a sound.

"Don't worry about it."

A slight smile of thanks, and she dropped her voice and tried subvocalizing for herself. "This world's sae different from me own. I cannae help but wonder what things would'a ben like if me family had been born here?"

"Okay. Another bus ride." Josh grinned and led the way out, Jenny at his side.

Lar replied in the same manner, as he followed Josh. "I don't really have any idea, I'm afraid. But for what it's worth... this world's pretty different from my home too.".

She leaned toward him, concentrating hard to catch his words, then gave him a quick sympathetic smile before noting, "I wouldnae hae ben shut up in a convent when me mutation manifested. That I ken."

"That... that's awful!".

She swallowed slightly and glanced around. "The keep'd ben attacked 'n I killed many 'o the attackers 'n then vanished intae the forest tae live like a beast. Me da thought I had a demon."

"You saved them and they did that? That's idiotic."

[random_xtras]

She dropped her voice again. "They think I killed me myther, too."

Through an act of will, Lar kept the surprise off his face. "I'm glad you're here and not there, then."

[random_xtras]

"Aye, me too." She looked around, then squealed and hurried for the bus as Josh called to them from the door.

Lar hurried as well, not wanting to have to do another round of waiting for the next bus.

They were soon aboard, but this bus was more crowded then the last one and so they had to stand. Josh held onto the overhead rails as Jenny hugged him to keep from falling over, but Jaime looked up with a scowl before bracing her legs like a little sailor.

"Hey, @#$%&$, stop taking up so much room," growled an overweight guy with many shopping bags.

Lar frowned. "That's no way to talk to a lady."
