Watch your feet

[jla-futures.livejournal.com]

When the white light clears away this time, the abductees find themselves standing in an environment that is, if possible, even blander than the soul-destroying corporate cube farm. The horizon and sky--or is it a ceiling?--overhead are smooth and white, though with a slight curve to it suggesting that they are looking up at the inside of an enormous eggshell.

The floor, however, is not quite so featureless, though still quite bland. It seems to be made up of oval tiles, a pale cream in color, fit together quite closely. Each of the abductees can feel a slight thrumming vibration beneath their feet, suggestive of an orchestra tuning up.

They don't have anyone. Raven's still playing Pillar-Hop-A-Long.

"Hey," she says, waving her arms to whoever can see her, "Down here!"

"Oh, no," Kyle says, disenaging from Beatriz and looking over the railing of the ship to see a shrouded figure below, waving her arms back and forth over her head. "Hang on!" he calls down to her.

Lifting his ring-bearing arm, an enormous flashes into existence, spiraling down, down, down to the female Titan below, beating its wings as it stops before her, turning about to offer Raven its back to climb onto.

Raven climbs upon the bird. She turns her head and gives Kyle a nod of thanks.

The bird flaps its wings, streaming behind it as it courses toward the ship, carrying its burden easily. Finally, the bird comes to rest on the deck and dips its head low, allowing Raven to dismount.

Kyle steps forward and offers the young woman and a hand down, looking around at those assembled on the deck as he does so. "Are there any others? Anyone else we're missing? I don't think Jade can keep this rift open for much longer," he calls.

Tora circles above the ship to take a wider look at their surroundings, the endlessly shifting pillars in a neutral landscape.

Setting back down on the ship next to Guy, she says, "Looks all clear from here. Let's go home, baby."

After the pirate ship captain gets a kiss on the cheek, she's jumping down onto the lower deck next to Fire, and swinging her around in a big hug.

Beatriz buries her face in Tora's silky white hair. "I was so afraid I'd never see you.." she begins, and then just squeezes her friend.

"Excuse me." The Gentleman Ghost knocks his cane on Ice's shoulder, as he gets on board. "Just because I'm a criminal, that does not mean I can be forgotten."

He takes a seat, as much as a non-corporeal being can, and cleans his monocle on his jacket. "Silver Banshee headed in the other direction about an hour ago. I was going to mention it, but I decided it would only slow us down. Heigh-ho. She's a supernatural entity. She'll work her way home."

"Funny," Fire says, cocking an eloquent eyebrow. "Aren't you a supernatural entity? Whose a villain? Typical, aren't you? It's okay to leave anyone behind that isn't you." Her tone is almost sing-song, definitely more a harsh tease than a snippy bitch.

"Villain is such an outdated term, and supernatural? Come. I'm merely a very well dressed hat-stand with the ability of movement."

Putting his monocle back to where his eye should be, it looks in Fire's direction. "Either way, she was all for killing the whole lot of you bloody people. I, however, can see the use of temporary alliances."

"You sound like a politician or ten I know," Dick notes with some amusement.
