"Oh, no. Here is safe," Carol indicated the bar. "Starklandia- this place. It's safe enough here so far. Except for a pretty wild heatwave we had. And the flu." She refilled her glass. "The flu wasn't so good for a lot of us, but nobody died. It's through the doors things get a little stranger."
Danvers wasn't really sure how else to explain it, especially to someone as new as Hermione. But she also could tell the girl was intelligent and probably going to ask questions, so it was best to explain everything.
So she did know them. That was interesting, especially given how her reaction changed. She was tempted to ask about how hse knew the boys but realized it was probably better to leave that question unsaid for now. Instead, she leaned once more on her elbows. "Time doesn't mean a lot here... Some of us come from the same universe from different times..."
Case in point, Carol's universe. "You mean America or my universe?" She grinned. "There are some...I think. It's hard for me to tell. I wasn't on Earth for 20 years before I wound up in this place, but some of residents say they knew me from my future- well, their past. Other people here knew another version of me- and some people here are duplicates from multiple universes. Did I mention it was complicated?"
