While the prospects of Starklandia were improving, they were still nowhere close to having all the luxuries that they should have. Jan knew everyone was trying to find as much as they could when they went exploring through the door and really, that was the only place that gave them any sort of entertainment. She'd been fortunate to have all good experiences lately, although she hadn't necessarily walked away with equipment or resources that would be valuable to the cause. Still, when in doubt, another trip through couldn't be the WORST decision. Jan found herself flying that way to see if she could help find some more resources for the new shop, COFFEE, that Clint and Kate had opened. It seemed small, but if anything would help bring about a sort of regularity to the place, coffee was definitely that. Jan had also toyed with the idea of opening something up, some kind of clothing store like she had at the academy, but she was a long way off from finding the right materials and resources as well.

"So really, it's just another day on the job!" she said out loud as she zipped across the courtyard and past the well. She had her goal in mind and just needed to keep searching until she found what she needed.

She saw someone else heading in the same direction and she sped up to catch up. The last time she had met someone and gone on a random adventure with them, it had turned out pretty well. Maybe this was another serendipitous moment to have an adventure and make a new friend. She grew back to her full size when she was just a few feet behind, calling out a greeting.

"Hey! Hi! Are you going through the door?" She jogged a little to catch up. "Can I come too?"

"Oh no, nope. Asbo-freaking-lutely not!" Gwen called out when she saw that there were more mannequins just popping up and people were actually turning into them. She was not about to let herself or Jan be turned into some sort of mindless mannequin. Hell no. That was terrifying. How on Earth would she ever be able to play drums again? Or swing around? Those things looked stiff and they were faceless. No way. Terrifying. The thought that a world like this existed and it was happening at a freaking Target was unbelievable. And frankly, Gwen didn't want to stick around to find out if this was some sort of sorcery spell on these people or if there was some sort of mega ultra powerful mannequin because seriously? Yikes.

"I think we're on the same wave length," Gwen said. "Pretty sure Target's profit margins are high enough that they won't miss any of this. Time to go!" Her Spider-Senses were pinging pretty much non-stop which wasn't a good sign. Jan was right; thank goodness they were moving slowly. Otherwise this might get a lot messier. She just wanted to get this stuff and go. She turned her head and shot off a series of webs that wove around the legs of a few of the mannequins that were closing in on them. "Door!" She ran with her partner in long-term-borrowing-crime toward the automatic doors, pushing the carts along the way. "These are so gross! Ugh!" She shot more webbing to completely wrap around the body of one who was coming at them from the side. "Don't stop until we're back. Who knows if there are more of these things out in the parking lot!"

This was why Jan liked Gwen best; she was sensible and was a go with the flow kinda gal. They were both out in the open, Jan taking a moment to catch her breath when Gwen's frantic warning reached her. She tensed, glancing around as she kept running, pushing the cart in front of her. "Alright, we can't be that far from the door, right?" Jan heard a crash behind them and glanced behind her, a few of the mannequin's now spilling out of the store. "SHOOT!" She sent a repulsor blast past Gwen, blowing up the front of the store. "Sorry, thought we needed the distraction! C'mon!" She really needed to get on those shrink discs, it would have made this a lot easier if they didn't need to push their full carts through the city streets.

They received a lot of glances as they passed by people, but Jan tried to keep her eye on the prize: the door was just up ahead. "Almost there!" She called out, glancing around to see where Gwen had gotten to. She figured she had been right behind her the entire time, hoping she hadn't had to deal with too many things in the back. She really hoped there were no more mannequin's rushing after them with the fear of being turned into one. While Jan was all about people stopping to look at her, it was more in the sense that she would be able to interact back with them.

Thank goodness they had left the door open. Jan didn't even think that that might not have been the safest bet as anything could then get into the village, but she pushed her cart through, stopping once her feet hit the wooden floor and glancing back to help Gwen get through with her cart of treasures.
