Jan stared between the phone in one hand and a slip of paper in the other. It looked like directions somewhere, but she still wasn’t sure what was happening. She blinked, looking up and shielding her eyes from the sun as she glanced between that the courtyard she was standing in. What was happening? And more importantly, how did she get to be standing here with these things? Another set of blinks and she was searching through the phone, looking for any kind of clue, but coming up with nothing. It seemed to be linked to some kind of network, but it wasn’t actually the internet. There didn’t seem to be a trace of it and Jan felt a kind of panic rise in her. Alright, alright, it was ok, it. Was. Ok.. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. What was the last thing you remember. She remembered graduating and the Academy. She remembered pairing up with Tony and going out to become real superheroes.
Tony.
Her eyes shot open and she looked around the deserted area. “Tony?” She listened and shrank down, her wings coming out to lift her up. “TONY!” She called louder, realizing that was a mistake as her voice didn’t have the same volume now that she was smaller. Still, she searched all around this strangely cute town, looking for her friend.
By the time she came back, she was tired and plopped down on the edge of the well, fanning herself. She grew back to her normal size and was about to look and see if there was actually water in there when she heard a noise on her right. She whipped behind the well, her arms raised, blasters at the ready. When the man finally stumbled into view, a look of surprise flashed on her face and she stood up.
“Tony?” Well...it was. Kind of. But not really as she remembered him. He looked older, more….weathered? Battered? Whatever the word was, he didn’t look good. “What happened? Are you ok?”
