Open! - Soul Dimension
Who: Open to all Soul Dimension dust-ees.
What: a safe harbor for those in the Soul Dimension.
When: sometime after Wanda sending out a mental lure to anyone nearby.
Where: The Soul Sanctum.
Rating: ?

    Under a perpetually orange sky, one block of Greenwich Village had been meticulously reconstructed. Roads branched out in New York's familiar grid of streets. They stretched one mile in all four cardinal points - as best as could be determined - floating upon the surface of the water.

    These roads all led to the Soul Sanctum, a perfectly rendered recreation, rising up out of the water like a beacon to those who were lost.

    Inside, the Sanctum was faithfully copied from Strange's extensive memories. Everything from the demonic fridge (which he had grown profoundly fond of), to the individual pages of the books he memorized. Right down to a voice activated blue tooth speaker, which was currently playing a playlsit that included Pink Floyd's 'Wish You Were Here.'

    That is where Stephen Strange was. The doors of the Soul Sanctum wide open, which would have never happened in New York. The sorcerer in his red cloak was meditating in an old wing-backed chair on how to fix the portal problems, and waiting with Wanda for the arrival of those she had reached out to.

This... was not ideal.

Peggy had been walking for... well she didn't know how long. After what must have been a day, she slipped her shoes off and began to carry them. Heels were not made for sand after all. Not long after that is when she began to speak to herself. It wasn't something that unusual. Almost everyone she knew had heard her chastise herself at one time or another. Now is not the time to have a breakdown, Margaret. But this was a whole new level. Mentally having entire conversations to keep herself from going insane. If that was even possible where she was. Also, where was she?

She'd stopped in her bare tracks when she felt Wanda pulling her in their direction. She'd never met her, but Steve trusted her and that was enough for her to spin on her heel and head the way she needed to go... she hoped. It was hard to tell when everything looked the same horrid orange and smelled like nothing at all.

When her eyes caught sight of the Sanctum and the surroundings, she had to stop and cross her arms. She looked it over a couple times before shrugging, accepting that this was happening. "Sure." She said, she'd seen stranger things. Well maybe not but at this point, after being tugged into a new universe already, this was nothing that shocking. Could have done without the whole turning to dust in the arms of the one person she loved most in the world though.

Peggy stepped through the doors, dusting her red dress off and pushing her hair behind her ears before pausing to hold the wall as she slipped her heels back on. 'Hello? Anyone?" There was no excuse not to look at least mildly presentable.

No.

It couldn't be.

How...

To say that Nick was shocked was an understatement. This was Peggy Carter. Peggy. Carter. In the Sanctum. Peggy who founded SHIELD. The same Agent Carter who all good like SHIELD-lings wanted to emulate.

What the actual fuck?

Clearing his throat, he stepped up to her. "Excuse me. Ms. Carter? I don't know if you're real or not, but it is an honour to speak to you."

Peggy's attention snapped when she heard a throat clear, but she couldn't place the man it belonged to. She eyed him warily before smiling kindly. "I... well to be honest I have no idea what is real or not anymore, but last I checked I was real." She let out a chuckle, extending her hand to him. "It's an honour to meet you Mr...?"

Stephen waited until Nick Fury was away until he could greet Peggy again.

"Hello, Miss Carter," he said, as he drew closer. "I'm glad you were able to find your way here. I'd offer you some tea but...?"

They didn't seem to need it, he wasn't hungry or thirsty. He wasn't even sure how long they'd been there. The clock chimed but it didn't seem to be following the rules of time. What was twelve hours felt like twelve minutes. And there was at least one interval where fifteen minutes seem to drag on for nearly two hours. He finished two entire books and the clock hand barely moved.

"There are rooms upstairs and downstairs, if you want one."

Peggy turned her gaze from Nick's retreating frame to find Stephen. "Doctor Strange," She said softly in acknowledgement. "Gods, I do wish I could have some. Even if I don't think I could smell or taste anything anyways." She shook her head, crossing her arms over her chest with a huff. "I do wish we could stop meeting under such annoying circumstances." She waited for a beat before shaking her head. "Tell me you have a plan to get us out of here, or to get word to someone, anyone. There has to be something-" She was at a loss, unfamiliar with the notion of being helpless.

Peter/Drax and Open

Peter had laid down on the ground for a long time. Well. He THOUGHT it was a long time. In all honesty, Peter was terrible at gaging time. He got bored fast, had no patience, and 5 minutes felt as long as 5 hours.

After seeing his mom though, he laid there, drained, almost giving up. If it hadn't been for the world's most annoying alien literally walking on top of him (and Peter had been quick to point out HIS obvious skill with invisibility), Peter would probably still be there.

Walking to the Sanctum together, Peter felt oddly happy when he saw the building. "Holy shit, did buildings turn to dust too?," he asked Drax. "Cause that would be tight. I want my bed."

"I do not think so," Drax said. Everything about this place set the normally unflappable Drax on edge. It was too vast, to empty, for someone who came from a world where the tribe was everything, where family was sacred. A land where they shared tales of conception, and enjoyed comradery with their war rallies. Death was a part of that way of life. It was embraced and accepted. One spent eternity with their ancestors.

Not this. This was not that place. It was a place where he encountered his captain, a dude crying about his mom, and then finding a piece of a place that looked like it was new New York.

"For if it is dust then how it can be tight. It has fallen apart, loosely, as we did," Drax wondered aloud, with a contemplative squint. This was a new thing to ponder over. "Let us make our way to this potential lodging."

The moment Nick arrived, he was trying to figure out how to get out.

He could remember last time how he'd sent a message to Carol, but that was another world, another time. Here, he had not been able to send that beacon.

Nick could only hope that Bobbi was handling things.

Because of his need to be attuned, he'd felt (heard?) the signal immediately. Glad to be focused, he walked there, laughing inwardly when he saw the Sanctum.

Strange. Of course.

Walking in felt like walking into Strange's place, so Nick felt fine and not out of place. Instead, he milled around until spoken to.

At least they were all congregated in one spot - Hope was glad for that, after a period of despondency and not knowing where the fuck she was. Her last memory co-mingled with a whole other memory entirely - she and her parents turning to dust after Scott entered the quantum realm. Scott, presumably, being stuck in the quantum realm.

Hope, turning to dust while holding onto Scott until the last possible second, in an antique shop while looking for a birthday present for Jane.

These were the facts. If she just stuck to the facts, and focused on them, she could keep her wits about her and not be overcome with worry that Scott was stuck in the quantum realm again. But she'd built the failsafe into his suit's regulator, hadn't she? That was also a fact. With everything combined, she could trudge along bravely beneath skies that looked like they caught fire, so bright orange they resembled summer fruits.

She wondered if the sun ever set here - but she didn't feel hot, or dehydrated, or hungry. She just felt lost, but headed with a purpose to where her legs carried her. The Sanctum was a familiar sight that brought relief - she headed toward Nick, smiling sadly. "Not sure if this is purgatory or what - it didn't quite come with a map or a welcome guide," she greeted.

Though she was certain she saw the wardrobe she always played hide-and-seek in. Hiding in that one spot while Janet looked for her - as Scott said, she really didn't grasp the concept of the game. Or maybe she did, but was just delighted to see her mom seek her out each and every time.

"Purgatory doesn't sound right, considering I'm not Catholic." Nick looked at Hope and gave a nod. "Hope Van Dyne. Odd that it took leaving our plane of existance before we were able to meet again."

He gestured to the building. "This has Strange written all over it. I wonder when our esteemed host will make himself known."

Wanda and open
[info]witchiest
2018-08-29 01:00 pm UTC (link)
When Stephen asked her to give anyone else trapped here a 'nudge,' Wanda's anxiety flared up - she at first wanted to tell him that she didn't do that anymore, that she wasn't that person. She regretted so much that had happened over the last few years, things she had done - but ultimately, she trusted him. He had tutored her as soon as she crash-landed in another universe entirely, helped her hone her powers so they were more like a surgical scalpel rather than a battle axe, really get that precision - so if he thought it was best she do what she could to round the others up, she would.

And she did. Despite the anxiousness coursing through her veins, hitching a ride on her blood cells. She waited in the newly constructed Sanctum now, crossing and re-crossing her legs while she remained seated on a chair that seemed to swallow her. One of those old-fashioned, Victorian ones - it looked like it was carved from rosewood, very fancy, but not overly comfortable. Not that she cared much about comfort right now.

As people showed up, she was also looking over a few of the books he had conjured here- she could study, while she waited. They would figure out a way out of here, somehow - and the ones left standing, back wherever home was, were surely fighting for them too. She hoped.

Stephen wasn't entirely sure that the people on the other side knew they were even alive. Or if this qualified as being alive or a sort of status capsule. Either way, he had been studying as well. Looking for some aspect he might have missed or overlooked, and venturing out into the astral plane while meditating.

He drew closer to where Wanda was sitting, noting her anxiousness. Everyone was on edge. He wasn't the best at encouragement, but he was able to offer praise where it was well-earned.

"You've done really well helping lead them here. You're showing remarkable progress honing your skills," he told her, once he was close enough that only she could hear him. This was hopeful news, not good news, but hopeful, and he didn't want to get everyone else excited if it ended up being a dead end. "I think I found a weak spot. During my last astral plane excursion. It's dangerous, for both of us. But I have a plan."

Wanda glanced up, a wry smile touching her features. She was flattered by the praise and intrigued by the prospect of danger - such a gamut of emotion going on here. "You forget, doctor, danger is my middle name," she teased. It wasn't actually, but stubborn was likely closer to the actual moniker - and so she wouldn't let a little thing the possible cranium implosion that could potentially occur to be what stopped her from trying to help.

She wanted a way out of here as much as everyone else. And they all deserved better. "Tell me what you have in mind."

Questions also swirled in her brain - she thought of Pietro (for a moment, she had hoped and then didn't hope she'd see him here), and also Vision. Her lower lip trembled. "And are the ones that died because of Thanos, killed by him in our dreams...does this mean they are dead now too?"

Pepper and OPEN

2018-08-31 04:00 am UTC (link)
Pepper felt like she had been wandering aimlessly and alone for weeks. She was scared, pissed...puked a couple of times...and worried about Tony. Yep. Tony. That's who she was worried about. Not herself. And don't pay any attention to her hand constantly straying to her abdomen. She wasn't worried about the baby at all.

She continued to wander and absently rub her stomach. Eventually she felt like she should go That way instead of This way. Logically there was no real reason for it, just a feeling. Pepper followed her instincts in business. It should work this time, too. Right?

Soon enough she found her way to the Sanctum. Pepper blinked as she looked at it then climbed the stairs...an act that seemed a little more trying than it should be. Weird. Achieving the door she stepped in. "Hello?" she called out, one hand covering the baby bump that was showing.

A familiar person floated toward her.

"Miss Potts," Stephen said as he silently landed near her. "Wanda sent out a suggestion. That's how you found us. Sorry about the walk. Portals aren't working."

He looked down at her hand over her stomach for a moment, and the physician in him kicked in.

"You're not in pain or experiencing any issues, I hope."

Pepper just about jumped out of her skin when Dr. Strange showed up. Both hands covered her belly protectively at that.

"Oh!" She let out a breath. "Stephen. Thank god. What happened? Are we dead? Where's Tony? Oh god, Tony! He'll be having a fit by now and he doesn't know where the paper bags are. He never remembers no matter how many times I tell him."

Welcome to Pepper Potts, Dr. Strange. She can word vomit as well as Tony when stressed.

"What?" She blinked then looked down. "Uh. No, but..."

Peggy had never met Pepper in person, but she already felt like a kindred spirit. So seeing her there made Peggy's chest ache as much as anyone. The brunette hung back until Strange took his leave before approaching. "Pepper?" Her voice was soft, a hand moving her hair behind her ear once more.

Pepper was trying her best not to freak out. She wanted to go home. She wanted to reassure Tony. She wanted to know how she went from being six weeks pregnant to six months! Needless to say she was a bit shook up.

The unfamiliar voice made her turn around. She knew THAT face however and smiled. "Agent Carter. Hello."

It was liking blinking into another bad dream. Only this time, the terror of watching Peggy wither away and the horror on Steve's face were real. Another nightmare to add to his list of others. At least this time, he wasn't waking up in a freezer.

Bucky immediately went into defense mode as he took in the odd realm he found himself in, removing one of many hidden knives...just in case. He'd called for Peggy, maybe she would be around but no. It was like a desert purgatory.

Until he felt something touch his mind. That, he didn't like. Especially since it was so inviting and becoming. Needless to say, Bucky didn't care for things messing with his mind. But having no other leads he followed the signal to what he could only assume was a trap. He wasn't surprised to find 'the Sanctum' at the end of the rabbit hole. As he entered he awaited the danger that was more than likely expecting him, imitating something familiar, with the shiny steel of his blade and the vibranium in his arm.

Wanda set down the book she was reading when she saw Bucky, standing, her skirt fluttering gently - and she sensed the discomfort rolling off of him in waves, of course. Essentially everyone else here, she didn't mind giving them a little mental nudge - some, messing with their heads wasn't something she could bring herself to feel guilty for. But him? That one particularly stung.

Oh, guilt. You were an old and familiar friend.

"Hi," she greeted, baby blues falling toward where he held the knife in his grasp. Then she looked back up at his face, wringing her hands - one of her silver rings was twisted up and down along her finger, either a thinking or an anxious gesture. There was no relaxing in this place, so it was likely the latter. "I'm sorry. I did not mean to startle you. The doctor wanted everyone here, gathered. So we may all leave together soon, I am hoping."

Unfortunately Bucky had remembered many of the torture tactics HYDRA had put him under. He was strong enough for all of them, save for brainwashing. This didn't feel like that. He and many others dreamt of fading away--to what, none had known. But he wouldn't be so easy to trust.

He took in Wanda's appearance carefully. Not that he'd be able to distinguish magic or any other higher being nonsense that was just out of his control.

"Where is here?" He asked pointedly, the stiffness in his stance nor the blade in his hand moving. Not even a little blink.

There were very few things that could break Peggy's heart in her current predicament. Watching Bucky walk through the door was at the top of the list. It was an instant cold, a dread, that Steve was alone. He had seen them both go, in front of his eyes. Even she couldn't imagine how deeply he had fallen at that. Losing Bucky was bad enough, and she was sure losing herself wasn't a picnic. But both? Together? Even a heart as strong as his had it's limits. As very talented as she was at keeping herself together, her bottom lip quivered as she approached him. Wordlessly putting her arms around his neck and pulling him into a hug slowly when he turned to see her, not wanting to startle him. "Oh Bucky."

The startled portion of his visit was sunk much more into guarded. While anything could be used against him, like his innocent friend Wanda, seeing Peggy made much more sense. They'd only disappeared together.

Easing up a little, Bucky patted at her back. She was as solid as he was. Her demeanor a reflection of the last moments she'd spent before disintegrating. "You alright? Did you hear this...call too?" If it was a trap they were using the right people. But anything he would normally sense or see in such a thing would have made itself known by now. Or maybe not. He knew nothing of magic or soul stones.

Stephen watched from a distance as Wanda and Peggy welcomed him. It was probably better - since neither of them were great conversationalists - to let people that were familiar set any frayed nerves at ease.

Once Stephen knew it would be seen, he gave Bucky a nod to say hello.

If anything could give him the tiniest assurance from what the former Winter Soldier could gather, was that Strange was not quite as familiar as the other two in his company. There'd be no reason to try and poison his mind there. Though Wanda and Strange could easily do so, he was sure.

But if Strange and everyone who was dusted really were here, the real Strange would build something familiar. When he was finished making introductions and comforts with Wanda and Peggy, Bucky found his way up the stairs to the Sorcerer for some answers. "So..our visions came true. But we're not dead, just in another plane. Before that Thanos even made it to Earth...Is the alternate reality you created putting things out of time?"
