While most people were transported on-board Knowhere on relatively calm, albeit confusing circumstances, Shepard? Was transported while in the middle of a firefight, along with quite a few of her enemies. Marauders, Cannibals and worst of all, a Banshee. Under heavy attack, she didn't register her change in scenery at first and called out to one of her squadmates: "Javik, I need some cover fire!" She bolted toward the nearest cover that she could find and took shelter behind it.

She winced at the sound of the Banshee's wail, and looked around, frowning as she not only didn't recognize where she was, but only heard the blast of weapons from her enemies. "Javik! Liara! I could use a little help here!"

"Well well well.... lookit what we got here...." Rocket laughed as he leapt into the fray, dual guns blazing,mowing down anything that appeared to be attacking. This had become something of a ritual for him: anytime a newbie would appear in mid-conflict, he'd jump in to help kick some ass and worry about the questions later. "Welcome to Knowhere, sweetheart!" He yelled to Shepard over the gunfire, lethal as a furry little Rambo.

"Find cover!" She shouted to him, before poking her head out slightly from her own cover to assess the situation. The Banshee wailed and threw a lethal ball of energy at her head. She had enough time to throw up a shield to deflect the blast, then popped back up to fire at the Banshee just as it seemed to teleport during combat. "Damn it!"

She looked over at Rocket. "Try to kill as many of the Cannibals as you can!" She called to him. She didn't think that she had to explain what the Cannibal was, as they devoured their fallen comrades, but in doing so, they healed and became all the more deadly. In truth, the biggest threat was the Banshee, but in order to kill her they had to get to her first!

"As many as I can, huh?" Rocket asked with a devious little smirk, before whistling, as loud as he could. "AWRIGHT, PAL! THAT'S YOUR CUE!!!"

Stomping determinedly into the fray, growing twice his normal size as he walked, Groot began swatting at the cannibals, violently thrashing them into the ground and any trees that were near them. "I... AM.... GROOOOOOOOT!"

"You said it, buddy!" Rocket called out over the sound of his guns, "This stuff never stops being one helluva rush!"

	"No kidding!" Spider-Man said as he webswinged in, perching himself on Groot's shoulder and looking around. "Groot, was it? Hey buddy, mind tossing me in that direction?" He said, pointing at a Marauder. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Aw, Groot.... the big adorable lug blinked in confusion as the masked man crouched down on his shoulder, looking briefly to Rocket as if looking for some validation, before just making up his own mind. If this guy was trying to help? Whatever idea he had here couldn't be any crazier than some of the crap Quill had come up with...

"I am Groot!" He yelled quickly, before grabbing the costumed hero and, indeed, hurling him at the cannibals. All Groot could think was, this kid was either incredibly courageous, or incredibly stupid.

Probably a little bit of both. "Wooooohooooo!" He shot out a string of web at the nearest Cannibal and used the momentum to propel himself toward it, slamming hard into its chest and knocking it back a good ten feet, along with the two Cannibals standing behind it. "Who else wants some of this!" He shouted, before more gunfire went off around his head. "Apparently everyone! Alright then!"

Shepard couldn't help it but roll her eyes at the guy in the outfit. Still, he was doing well to take the enemies eyes off of her, so that had to count for something. And the giant tree creature... while not familiar to her, was causing a lot of damage. She yelled over to Rocket: "Grenades! Do you have any?" Before being set upon by a Cannibal. Using her Omni-blade as she fell to the ground, she stabbed it repeatedly in the head then rolled out of the way, shooting it multiple times before it had a chance to regenerate.

"Nothing THAT primitive, but... close enough!" Rocket laughed, tossing the woman two small, metal orbs that honestly looked more like a thermal detonator from Star Wars than a typical earth grenade. "Just hold the red button in for three seconds till it turns blue, then throw it and get the flark outta the way!"

Groot, meanwhile, could plainly see that Rocket had things under control and went to help the.... energetic masked teenager he'd just hurled at the enemy. Stomping over to him, the tree-creature haphazardly kicked some of the attackers away before blinking and leaning in to ask Spider-Man:

"...I am Groot?"

"Got it!" Shepard replied. Her version of grenades weren't all that dissimilar, to be honest. But she'd come from a distant future, in an alternate timeline, where technology was far more advanced than it was in this universe's Earth. She did as instructed, holding the red button for three seconds before taking aim and letting the grenade fly, quick to duck and cover her head.

While Spider-Man had no way to translate what Groot was saying to him, he at least understood the meaning based on Groot's actions. "Keep it up and we're gonna become fast friends, big guy!"

BOOM! The detonator went off, taking out the majority of the enemies left over. With a protective roar, Groot stormed over and took out the few stragglers with a few swipes of his branch-like claws.

Rocket scampered quickly up Groot's body, perching on the tree-creature's shoulders. He looked at Shepard and at Spidey, then holstered his blaster with a disappointed(!) sigh. "You folks alright?"

"No injuries," Shepard replied, standing up and walking around, assessing her surroundings before shouting out for her allies. "Javik! Liara!" They'd been on a mission together and now they were nowhere in sight.

"All my bits are intact," Spider-Man replied. "Thanks to this big guy!" He slapped one of Groot's arms. He jerked a thumb in Shepard's direction. "Not sure Red's quite grasped the situation, though."

"Yeah, startin' to notice that myself, kid...." Rocket grumbled, hating when he got stuck explaining this stuff. "Alright, babe.... here's how it is: wherever you're from? You ain't there no more. Stuff's all outta whack, and people are gettin' bounced from reality to reality like a d'ast pinball. Bright side, if you ever had a crush on some fictional character, there's a decent flarkin' chance they're HERE somewhere."

Yep. Way to break it to her softly, Rock.

	Shepard took a moment to process what Rocket had just said, then another moment or two to look at her surroundings. She didn't recognize any of it. "You can't send me back," she realized. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Rocket... I believe you've traumatized our newest guest quite enough for one day, don't you?"

With those words, the warrior woman known as Angela floated down to the ground beside the four others, almost maddeningly emotionless face showing JUST a hint of bemusement at Rocket's antics. She looked like the goddess she was, long red hair falling about her shoulders, stunning body garbed in the golden armor of the angels that had raised her.

"Would you like me to show you to where you'll be staying, milady?"

	Shepard blinked at Angela. Did she have a stroke or something? Or did she die again? She took a steadying breath and tried to calm down. "Yes, that would probably be for the best." At least then she could sit down somewhere and quietly assess the situation. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Striding toward the two residential buildings, a grace to her that made her truly seem like the royalty she was, turning briefly to look the other woman over. "You are quite the fierce warrior. For someone who is merely human... you show no fear whatsoever." (Reply to this) (Parent)

Shepard busied herself with checking her side-arm as they walked along, then holstered it and turned off her omni-tool, figuring that she had no need of it for now. She frowned lightly at Angela's words and looked the other woman over again. Her first impression when seeing the woman was that she was having some kind of fantastical daydream, or that she'd suffered a blow to the head (as, unless people were in a club, they didn't dress like that), but now her thoughts were on something else entirely. "You're not human?" She certainly looked human, more so than any alien race that Shepard had encountered.

"I am Aldrif Odinsdottir of Asgard, raised in Heven as the warrior Angela. Born of one world, raised in another." The redhead explained, her basic physical demeanor making her seem as deadly as a viper, even in such a typically exploitative outfit. "So.... no. To answer your question, I am not mortal. I am the daughter of Gods." And clearly just a GREAT BIG BAG OF FUN, TOO! Sigh.

	"Gods," Shepard repeated. After all that she'd encountered in her short life she didn't even flinch at the word. Anything was possible. "Shepard," she introduced herself. "And just because I don't show fear, doesn't mean that I don't feel it." She was a soldier. She could compartmentalize a lot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	angelic_anomaly 2014-12-15 01:23 pm UTC (link)
	Angela took the woman's hand, giving it a supportive squeeze before letting go. That was about as close to comforting as this woman got, folks. "We all feel it, dear. But only the best among us can bury it deep down, and carry on in spite of it. You have a warrior's heart, don't ever let anything make you forget it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cdr_shepard 2014-12-15 01:27 pm UTC (link)
	Shepard pursed her lips together in frustration. She was a leader more than anything, and right now her universe needed her. She wanted to scream, rage, fight, hit something. But now wasn't the time or place. "I also have a warrior's appetite," she said dryly, trying to deflect her emotions for now. "And a powerful need to shower." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	angelic_anomaly 2014-12-15 01:29 pm UTC (link)
	Angela stared at the other woman for a moment. Between seeing so many other transplants here reacting, to knowing how she compartmentalized her own feelings and emotions... she could see right through Shepard. She respected her enough, however, to not say anything. "Come then. We'll get you bathed, then be sure to prepare you a meal fit for a true warrior." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cdr_shepard 2014-12-15 01:43 pm UTC (link)
	"Thank you. I'd appreciate that," Shepard replied, reaching up to brush her long red hair away from her eyes. She hoped that she wasn't stuck here for too long. So many lives depended on her back home. So many. (Reply to this) (Parent)
