The multi dem station was built similar to an airport. It was divided in different sections for the various dimensions it had access to, and if one had proper clearance there were even time travel tubes for the occasional time drifter.
Hilary secretly loved the place. It was always spotless, which she found boring, but the people coming and going always made up for the sterile looking environment.
"Tube Number 3789 to The Nexus Mall is now departing. Please have your belongings ready before stepping through the event horizon and thank you for visiting Metro Nexus. We hope you enjoyed your time here."
Hilary partially dragged and carried Miki, which was a feat since she was only twelve, "Our tube is this way. Come on."
She led them down the busy station and to one of the terminals that said 'Haven Nexus' in big letters. There was of course seating for travelers, but for the most part, the Haven Terminal was quiet. There was one bored steward waiting at a counter and he looked up at their arrival. "Which tube?"
"Serenity Hills." Hilary said before anyone could speak up. "We want to leave now."
"Lucky for you, it's slow for Haven," he said as he started typing on his computer. "Huh. Looks like all Haven travel is free tonight. Must be nice." He pressed a few more keys and a set of big metal doors nearby slid open to reveal a circular station. "Please step onto the platform, keep your hands in the circle, and don't eat any raw vegetables while the dimensional tube is in operation."
"Why not?" One of the boys asked.
"There was an incident." The steward said with a shrug. "We call him Mr. Potato head now."
Hilary dragged Miki to the platform and waved everyone over. "Hurry up, people!"
Once they were all on the platform, the steward pressed a button that caused them to be surrounded by a field of light and skin tingling energy. One more key stroke and the the group was whisked away by the beam of energy.
