"Yeah, we made sure to come back ready to go," Rose agreed. "Figured the sooner we get going, the better."
|
Namine nodded.
"Good," she said. "Then good luck, and I'm sure Kairi would tell you to be careful." |
"As we ever are," Rose agreed with a grin. She focused on the mirror in the map room, thinking of the new world they had to go to, and the mirror started swirling. "We'll be back soon."
|
Namine gave them a wave and watched them go.
Summer gestured for the guys to go next after Rose, and she would take up the rear. She was looking forward to this new world. |
Rose landed and looked around curiously. It looked like she was inside somewhere all metal. Which was... kind of odd, but okay, she could roll with this.
Steve looked around as well in quiet fascination. |
Bucky looked around as soon as he came out of the mirror, trying to get his bearings.
"Where are we?" Summer asked as she appeared last. She looked around. "I feel like I should recognize this place." |
"So do I." Rose frowned, looking around more carefully. A series of beeps and mechanical whirring noises directed her further down the hallway, and she advanced carefully.
|
"This is weirdly familiar," Summer commented as she crept forward with Rose. She glanced to make sure the guys were with them.
Bucky stayed close to Rose. "Where are we?" he asked, looking around. He itched to pull his rifle, but something told him that it wouldn't help at the moment. |
"Not sure yet," Rose murmured, still looking around. "Trying to figure that out."
She did stop just outside of a room, where the corridor widened. She knew this room. It was a very familiar set up, with the little bed set into the wall against the back, and the table in the middle. Her eyes narrowed a bit. |
Summer looked around. She was certain she knew where they were, but it just wasn't quite clicking.
"I know this place," she murmured. "I swear I know this place." |
"It is definitely familiar," Rose agreed, moving forward to touch the table. Holographic creatures appeared on top of the table, and someone appeared on the other end of the hallway. There was a moment of silence before the man swore and pulled out something that looked like a pistol.
|
Summer paused when someone appeared in the hallway, and blinked when she saw the gun-looking thing.
"Whoa, okay, wait a second," she said, holding up her hands. "I'm pretty sure we can explain this in a way that doesn't sound completely crazy." Bucky tensed when he saw the gun, but he didn't get the chance to do anything before Summer started talking. He didn't relax yet. |
"Who are you and how the hell did you get on my ship?" the guy demanded.
"I'm Rose, this is Summer, we're travelers," Rose said, holding up her hands as well. "We're mostly harmless." |
"They're Steve and Bucky," Summer added, gesturing to the two guys. "We didn't mean to come out of nowhere. I promise we don't mean any harm here."
|
"How did you get here?" he asked again, eyeing them all like they were potentially poisonous.
"Uh. Well." Rose looked at Summer, making a brief face. |
Summer weighed her words.
"Dimension hopping, more or less," she finally said. It was a better option than saying 'magic mirrors' at least. And she was desperately trying to keep her cool because holy shit they were on the Millennium Falcon and that was Han Solo. |
"Dimension hopping?" Han looked very suspicious of that. "And how did that put you here?"
"Honestly? Not sure. Guess this is where we're needed." Rose shrugged. |
“It was probably the Force, let’s be real,” Summer said. “Makes about as much sense as anything else.”
|
Han eyed them again, looking them over. Something still seemed off about them, but he wasn't entirely sure what.
"So where are you headed, anyway?" he asked, for now deciding to let the other issues drop. For now. |
"That is an excellent question," Summer replied, glancing at the others.
"How do you not know where you're headed?" Han asked, skeptical. |
Rose sighed. "It's... complicated. We kind of run around looking for Heartless to fight, and usually we find what we're looking for when we find them."
|
Han just gave her a bit of a blank look.
"Alright, sweetheart, you're going to need to back that up for me and start over," he said finally. "What are heartless, and why are you fighting 'em?" Bucky bit back a growl when Han called her 'sweetheart.' |
"Right, right," Rose said, shaking her head a bit at herself. "Heartless are... they look kind of like dark blobs, or people. They're fast and they're bad. They spread darkness wherever they go, and they thrive in darkness. They're not good neighbors, trust me on that. So we go around getting rid of them."
Steve gave Bucky a curious look when he heard the little noise. Oh now this was an interesting development. |
Han considered that for a moment.
“I’m thinking you should probably talk to Luke,” he finally said. “All that talk of fighting darkness sounds like his territory.” |
"Luke?" Rose blinked, her brain momentarily short circuiting. "Yeah, okay, sure."
