Five should have known better than to be lulled into a false sense of security and assuming that he wasn’t going to get caught up in this red portal business. The universe just couldn’t give him a break, no matter which one he was in, and all he really wanted was a few days without feeling the weight of the world on his shoulders. Was that really too much to ask? Apparently it was, since he was behind the counter at Sally’s, waiting on a young blonde woman, when he caught the red swirls out of the corner of his eye.
“Shit,” he swore, teleporting from behind the counter to grab her in an effort to get them both out of the way. He wasn’t fast enough though and the next thing he knew, they were dumped on the ground in a place he didn’t recognize. The grass was green and the air was clear, so at least it wasn’t a post apocalyptic world. “Sorry,” he apologized, standing up and brushing the grass from his pants before offering the young woman a hand. “I tried to get us out of the line of fire.”

Alyssa didn’t know what happened. One minute? She found herself in Sallys and the next she landed rather hard on grass. “Um.” The blonde looked around confused, before taking the offered hand. Within seconds, a few insects found their way to Alyssa, chatting loudly.
“We’re…in Wakanda?” The plus side of communicating with insects? They could provide information. “How are we in Wakanda?” The young man’s words finally settled in her brain. “I appreciate your attempt.” Had she met the person talking to her? “I’m Alyssa.”
She breathed in the air. “It’s clean. Like…Wonderland, but modern.”
