Steve sighed. "That's a harder question for me to answer, mostly because I'm a little lost on what precisely it is on a scientific level. Hope you two don't mind a little dumbing down of it, because trying to follow Mooj when he starts explaining the logistics makes my head explode."
He grinned before continuing. "But to answer your question, it's a rip in time and space. Some time on back, an avatar of Time had taken over what's called the Phoenix Force. A couple of people set out to take the Phoenix Force back before this avatar could cause whole worlds to explode with it and put a bullet through the avatar's head. When that happened, it started ripping up time and space around it. Mooj's teams got in here to control it, but not before it ate up most of a state called Iowa. So either something on your end caught hold of it, or it just decided to randomly grab you all and vomit you out here."
