Peggy busied herself with making tea for the time being, trying to figure out what was going on. This wasn't logical, at all, but they'd figure it out. Somehow.

Eventually, they both managed to admit to the fact that Winter had, in fact, teleported. It took her even longer to start experimenting with the ability, but after a few weeks, she managed to get to the point that she could mostly control where she went, and she could make three jumps at a time before she wanted to pass out.

So, of course, that was about the point things went Horribly Wrong.

Everything had been going smoothly, and they had been testing Winter's portaling after dinner. They'd been watching TV with dinner, Peggy remembered that much, but after that... Just the feel of being teleported. She had the horrible sinking feeling they weren't where they'd meant to end up. She sat up carefully with a low groan.

Winter fell to her hands and knees when they landed, her head spinning. That had been way more of a jump than she'd intended, and she had no idea where they'd ended up.

"Where are we?" she murmured.

"I haven't got a clue." Peggy stood, a little shaky but otherwise okay. "A storage room or something?" She started feeling around for a knob, and yelped a bit when the door slid open instead.

Genkai looked in at the two young women standing in a spare storage room of the temple and then sighed. Damn kids. "Come on out," she said, stepping aside to let them out. "Looks like you've got some explaining to do."

Winter couldn't help it, she just stared. She had watched enough old anime to know Genkai when she saw her, and there was no way it was possible.

"You're... But..." She glanced at Peggy helplessly.

Peggy was just as out of her depth. Her mouth was a little open, and her eyes were wide.

"Well?" Genkai snapped after a few moments. "Get moving!"

Winter jumped and scrambled out of the storage closet. She couldn't help but gape at the hallway.

"What even is this," she breathed as she looked around.

"This is my temple," Genkai replied, voice dry. "Come on. This way." She headed down the hallway, clearly expecting the two to follow her.

"What?" Peggy whimpered, eyes still wide.

"Oh my god it's Genkai," Winter said, eyes wide as well. "Actually for real, how is this real." Almost unwillingly, she slowly started to follow the old woman.

"I don't know," Peggy muttered, following her. "This is insane. I think we must have died or something when you jumped us that last time."

"That can't be, this is the living side of the barrier," Winter whispered back. She paused. "What am I even saying? How does any of this make sense?"

"It really, really doesn't," Peggy muttered.

"Will you two stop whispering?" Genkai grumbled. "These ears don't work as well as they used to, you know. And I can't figure anything out if you don't tell me." She stopped in the kitchen, gave the two a stern look, and then started making tea.

"Um..." Winter said helplessly. She stood there, not wanting to touch anything in the kitchen without Genkai's express permission. She glanced at Peggy and then back again. "I have no idea where to even start with this."

"Start with the beginning," Genkai provided oh so helpfully. "Where were you before this?"

"At home?" Peggy offered after a moment.

"Okay, so, um..." Winter fished around for the proper beginning. After a moment, she kind of shrugged helplessly. "I can teleport, somehow? I don't know how, it sort of started like a month ago and I really don't know how it works."

"Teleporting?" Genkai's eyebrows both shot up. "That's a very rare gift. I haven't known someone who can do that for... a long time." Her eyes narrowed a little. "You look a little like her, actually."

Winter blinked as her brain shorted out. Because that opened up a whole mess of possibilities that she didn't want to think about quite yet.

"What." She looked at Peggy.

Genkai waved that last comment away. "We'll deal with that later. Where did you two come from? I would have felt if you were from this area."

"That's... harder to explain." Peggy looked sheepish and a little terrified.

Winter bit her lip a little.

"I don't know what I did," she admitted. The tiny gears in her mind were still turning, even if the big ones were still jammed. "But I think we may have cut across a world or two?"

"...You what." Genkai looked at them. Okay, this was very abnormal, and could be very bad.

"This definitely isn't our world," Peggy added. "We can already tell. It doesn't feel right." Which she hadn't noticed, really, until she'd said it, but it was true.

That made Winter pause.

"It feels sort of... not tense, really, but something else," she ventured, looking at Peggy for confirmation. She sort of got what her friend had been referring to, but it was more a tingle up her spine than anything else at the moment.

Peggy nodded. "Almost like static," she said. "Like the air is heavier. Charged. Something."

Genkai nodded slowly. "Well, well," she murmured. "You two are quite the interesting conundrum."

"Well, that's ominous," Winter murmured. Everything she remembered about the anime told her that anything Genkai found interesting was likely to be Dangerous and Probably Lethal.

"Here." Genkai set two cups of tea on the table, holding her own. "Drink your tea while I think what I should do with the two of you."
