WHO: Andrea, her twins ... that's right. Twins. And Open
WHAT: Motherly panic, then trying to figure out what in the hell was going on.
WHERE: First apartment complex Building A, then outside of it onto the streets of Colligo
WHEN: Around 10 AM
RATING: PG, there are four year olds involved!
STATUS: Open-In progresss


Andrea burrowed herself deeper into the comforter. Sleep. Sleep was damn good, she couldn't remember the last time she'd had proper amount of sleep ... it felt like it had been years, but her right, though very foggy mind knew that it had been maybe about a month. This is what you got when you were a single mother of two little rug-rats and might as well be the director for an organization because it's own director was a jaded, lazy asswhole. Because really, if you don't believe that those kids, those drug dealers, yes even the crime lords didn't have it in them to be changed, why bother with Acrata? That's what the organization was all about. That's what she and her mother had put years into trying to make come true. Not only helping and saving the places people lived, or the victims, but also the people who'd taken the wrong path. And wanted to change.

Some people were so closed-minded. And she'd spent the better part of the last month in and out of meetings, planning events (her mother wanted to go big), and trying her best not to strangle the richies like Luthor and etc. She was exhausted mind and body, and one would think because of that she would be in deep, deep sleep by now.

But she wasn't.

That was just because, while Andrea Rojas, counselor for the ever-growing organization named Acrata could take breaks every now and them. Andrea Rojas, mom to Dora and Diego the Explorers reincarnate, didn't know what such a thing was.

Which was why she was currently twitching awake at her all too silent apartment. The twins slept with her. She'd learned that the heard way when they'd toddled their way, somehow out of the apartment (she couldn't figure that one out to this day) when they were just two and a half. She didn't care how many times she heard, "big kids, mama, big now, bye-bye". Those two weren't sleeping more than five feet away from her until they were ten. Yeah, that's right. Ten.

Stretching quickly and easily, Andrea quickly scanned the room and found that there were no twins to be found. "Addie? Tal?!" She called out. Yes, she was easily to panic but one would be if they had her twins.

Quickly, removing the comforter from her body, she placed her foot into her slippers. Their bed was their and all a mess.

In a room that wasn't theirs.

"Mierda." She cursed, before running out of the room. "Adrian! Bartholomew!"

Andrea was panicking. Where were her babies? And where the fucking everlasting hell was she? She was going to break something if something happened to her kids.

She ran out of the room, PJ's and all, only to find them on the stairs. Somehow managing to have pushed their stroller towards the stairs. And luckily having enough good sense not to have gone, down it. They'd had this conversation before. Pushing and throwing things downstairs was not fun time. "What do you think the two of you are doing?"

They were pretty much dressed and ready to go. Except that things were on backwards and lopsided and their jackets weren't properly buttoned. Andrea frowned. Why were they in an apartment she'd never seen before but had most of her kids stuff?

She was distracted by a tug. "Let's goooooo, mama." It was Addie. Addie always wanted to go. Tal was quite the little prince and his home was his oyster. He didn't like exploring as much as his little sister did. Younger by an hour and forty-three painful minutes. But he could never deny Addie anything. Not even now.

Which was why, when Andrea prepared herself for a lecture, and a, no. Because she could deny her kids. Really she could. Did it all the time. What she always fell sucker for, and she had a feeling that they were realizing this, was when they stuck up for each other. Maybe it was the fact that she'd been a completely only child. But she loved it when the twins helped each other out, especially when it was clear that the other one thought the first had lost all common sense.

"Pease, mama?" Tal looked up at her, wide eyes.

Addie, of course, catching on, "Yeah. Peeeeeeaaaaaazzzzeeeeee, ma-am-mama-amamama. Pease." She repeated when she caught her breath.

"Fine. We'll go." Because she was curious. As to where she was. And curious was putting it lightly.

"Mama has to get her-" But she paused, something caught her eye. Apparently they'd dragged shoes out of her and a jacket. They weren't hers. But she couldn't see where else they couldn't have gotten them but their room. Her kids liked to sneak out but for some reason they tended to avoid sneaking in locked places. Probably because that was harder. Hesitantly, she took on the jacket and placed it on. It fit perfectly. And it was sort of her style. You know, the style before she became Ma-am-mama-amamama. Shaking her head, she put everything on and then instructed the twins to hold onto her, each other and the stair railing as they ever-so-slowly made it down the stairs.

When she reached the front, she reached to put them in their stroller, when Tal handed her something that he had been playing with. "'Ere, mama." ... A PDA?

Andrea wasn't appreciating how weird things were becoming.

"Mother!" she heard, and buried her head a little more under the covers. "Mother, wake up!" Lara said, and she felt tiny hands pushing on her, soon joined by another pair of tiny hands. What she didn't expect, was for those tiny to hands to push her right out of bed and send her into the wall. Kara-Var's eyes flew open as she hit the wall, and surprisingly, it didn't hurt. Pushing herself up, she looked around to a position that wasn't her own. Infront of her, Lara, and Allura, holding Ter, were infront of her. It was an odd sigh, Allura shouldn't be strong enough hold Ter up like that. "What in Rao is going on?" she looked to Lara, who was looking at her expectantly.

"Mother, look out the window." her daughter instructed. And so Kara did just that. She stood up, and went to the window, opening the blinds. Besides the most obvious fact that this clearly wasn't Krypton, based on structure and style alone, Kara wasn't expecting to see a yellow sun. A quick gasp as the bright yellow flame was revealed, she looked around. "Earth." she said, and then looked down at her hands. She knew her kind gained the power of gods on Earth, but she wasn't expecting to show up here. At least that explained the twins.

All three of them were dressed, and ready. Actually, so was she. She must have come home from work and forgot to chance before passing out. "Give Ter-Var to me." she instructed Allura. Kara easily picked up her little son, still asleep, and held him in one arm. She secured the shear fabric of her cape around him, almost like a blanket, and then looked down at her two beautiful daughters. "Outside you two, we're going to figure this out."

She made her way out of the unfamiliar apartment, looking at pieces in the room with wary eyes. This wasn't the vast, crystal planet she knew and loved. And even as a distinguished scientist, Kara was baffled as to how she landed here. She wasn't banished, or sent here. She'd felt Augo lay down beside her last night. She had been home, safe, children in bed.

Ter woke up just as they were heading outside. "Allura, take Lara's hand." she instructed as she reached down to take Lara's other hand. She wasn't letting these kids go, she wasn't about to risk one of them getting the ability to fly at any second. She kept moving until she saw a woman, with children of her own. "Excuse me." she called, switching to English. "Are you aware of what's happening here?" she asked, curiously. "Where on Earth are we?"

She'd just about to tell Adrian not to pester her brother when a woman spoke to her. Andrea had been walking for some time now, pushing her children's stroller. Luckily enough she'd managed to see the sign outside of the library that she had passed by. Though lucky was very debatable. Giving Addie one last glare, she turned to the woman and replied, taking pity when she saw her own three little ones, "I don't ... even know." She started. "Apparently this place is called Colligo. But it looks, a whole lot like Boston. I'd think it was a bad prank, except the people around here keep insisting that's what it's called." And that was all the information they would give her, they were very unhelpful. And Andrea had dealt with unhelpful and rude people, but these people. They were like, they took it to an entire other level. And it wasn't so much that they were rude .. she couldn't quite put her finger on it. But automatons seemed to work.

"Boston." she repeated, shaking her head. "I'm not familiar with that city." she looked down at her twins. "Allura, where's that object you found on the table?" she let go of her daughters hand and held it out for the object. "They found this, on the table." she said, holding it up for the woman to see. "I'm afraid it's rather outdated." but that was Earth for you. Everything was out dated, from the technology, to the fashion, though she held that comment to herself. "I'm sure if any of us looked at long enough we could figure it out, but it's rather...old." no holograms, no crystals. Nothing. How did it work?

Just then Ter-Var woke, and so Kara handed the PDA back to Allura. Adjusting her grip, she held the toddler in her hands in a sitting position. He blinked blue eyes, and looked around. Finally his head tilted up to the sun, and he pointed. "'Lellow!" he said, pointing to the sun. It was spoken in Kryptonian, so Kara didn't expect the woman to understand it, though she didn't realize anyone could understand any language here.

"Shh, Ter. Don't point. I know it's strange." she said, gently taking the boys hands in her own. Looking back at the woman, she frowned. "I'm afraid...I don't belong anywhere near here."

Andrea had been in the business of keeping her emotions off her face long enough to give into the temptation of raising a brow at the woman's outdated comment. She didn't even think this version was out yet. However, what she said was, "A PDA. It works like this." She said, pulling her own out and showing the woman how to turn it on and off.

When the woman's son woke up, Andrea couldn't quite manage it this time, the keeping the eyebrow from raising. But she quickly controlled that with the logical thought that maybe they were from some cloudy place, some place very, very up north. Some never heard of Alaskan town. "It's alright." She said with a friendly smile. She was going to speak when Addie, let out a shy giggle and said, "'ellow." Her little adventurer always became more quiet when strangers were around, so Andrea was a bit surprised by her speaking. "Sun it 'ellow, mama."

Bending down slightly, she tweaked her little girl's nose. "Yes it is. The sun's very yellow."
