It felt like the air had been sucked from her lungs as she went through a rainbow tunnel. The twenty-something had just solidified plans at the UN to speak on behalf of the mutant population against the multiple hate groups growing around the United Kingdom and Europe. Things were finally going well for her, career-wise at least. She'd also put herself out there in terms of dating. She'd been seeing an uptown lawyer , Kyle, and things were fine, except he wanted a commitment that she just couldn't give. She felt for someone else and was too afraid to do anything about it. She also needed to woman-up and just break things off with Kyle so she could figure things out, but she also avoided conflict like the plague...
She woke on the ground, her cheeks smudged with soil and her clothing ripped. Her vision was blurry at first, but after a few weak blinks she could finally see. The dizziness was awful as her head began pounding. It was a cloudy day and it had just finished raining, so the ground was still wet. A shiver rose along her spine as she curled up to keep warm. Where the hell was she?!

(What in the...) Ryuusei's green eyes had to adjust after everything around him went 'white'. The ground was rain-soaked, yet these DEFINITELY weren't the woods he'd been practicing in for the past three days. (Kinda feels like when I got here, am I suddenly back in Chicago?)
Ryuusei moved around a bit to get his bearings... when he realized there was someone on the ground. "Hey!" Moving in for a closer look, he thought he recognized her. (Wasn't she the woman you talked to at that club?) And called to her again. "Hey...Cate right? You alright?"

"Ryu...Ryuusei?!" she gasped as she staggered to her feet "I think so..." she replied startled while rubbing the side of her head "D-Do you know where the hell we are?! And Leslie...WHERE IS LESLIE?!" she asked frantically turning around her and looking in all different directions. "LESLIE!!!" she yelled at the top of her lungs. "Ryuusei, what the hell happened?!" she asked while rubbing her eyes.

Leslie didn’t expect the evening to go quite like it had went with the double date. It was Cate, her beau Kyle, and Tiffany a minor noble in England’s aristocracy. It was going fine until Tiffany wanted to go out to club. That was always a bad idea due to her behavior in public. She tended to make the papers and rags in ways that entertained the less intelligent and embarrassed her friends. This probably wasn’t going to end well.
Leslie was surprised when he found Kyle agreed to the idea and Leslie rolled his eyes. This was the worst idea ever and he hoped Kate would at least back him s bit. When she did that caused a meltdown on Tiffany’s part and Leslie was embarrassed by the whole ordeal. He asked Tiffany to step away from their table so they could talk and most of the heated gesturing was done by her. When they returned Leslie was in a terrible mood and he confirmed they would go for an hour.
In that hour he had no idea what would transpire as he sat up slowly rubbing his temples. He was outside and wet. How fun. The last thing he remembered was Tiffany going to get a drink. Kyle who told Leslie he had two left feet to do him a favor and dance with Cate for him. He obliged and then a bright light and now he was on the ground. He heard his name and called out weakly.
“I’m over here. I think someone spiked our drinks.”

"Oh god, my head..." she sighed heavily just as she heard Leslie's voice "OH THANK GOD!" she exclaimed as she stumbled along.
God, what a night. Between Tiffany's usual BS and Kyle being void of a personality, Cate had had about enough,. Kyle was nice enough and he treated her well, but...
"Ryuusei, Leslie is alive..." she announced with relief. "H-How are you doing?" she asked while looking him over. Quickly grabbing her phone from her back pocket, she soon realized that she had no service. In fact, her phone didn't work at all. "What the hell..."
Rushing over to Leslie, she kneeled over to him and brushed dirt from the man's face "You okay?" she asked in a soft whisper.

""Well that's a relief." When she said she was alright. "And your guess is as good as mi..." But then the blonde woman went into hysterics over another girl. "Calm down now, with how we were I'm sure she can't be too far." Buuuut it wasn't a girl who answered Cate's cries. "Wait, Leslie's a dude?!"
He waited as Cate checked the man over and he muttered something about their drinks being spiked. "Was that before, or after you guys decided to play in the woods?"

Leslie looked around and realized he may have drank a bit more after dealing with Tiffany. At least Kyle was nice enough, even if he needed a shot of personality. He was one to talk when he dealt with Tiffany and her outbursts. He should just worry about what happened to them.
“I’m fine Cate. Just a little dizzy and confused. That’s all. How are you doing?”
He had to wonder where they were at and why he was laying on a piece of concrete. He sat up slowly and felt his stomach lurch. He would take it slow.
“Yes I’m a male. Leslie can be a male and female name. I’m sorry you haven’t update your sensibilities from 1950.”

"Ya sure, because that was just darling?" Responding with a playful grin, then pulled out a cigarette. "But really take it easy, you might have a concussion or something."
Looking about, there were...several broken pieces of concrete littering the ground. "The hell happened here?"

Leslie slowly looked at the guy who started to get out a cigarette. He wanted to chuckle but that would only serve to jostle him about so he refrained.
“I think I would know the symptoms of a concussion. I have treated them multiple times.”
He didn’t think it was a concussion but standing up would let him know. Usually that was the case. When Cate brushed dirt off his face and began helping him up he answered.
“Yes I’m fine. Just a little queasy. What the hell did we drink? I don’t remember being that free with my drinks.”
When he was on his feet his head didn’t spin this time and the dizziness from earlier was abating, no signs of concussion yet.
“Where are we?”

Ryuusei shrugged. "Well you look like you took a bad fall." And took a puff while Cate helped the man to his feet, once vertical Leslie confirmed he wasn't concussed. Glad to hear, as to WHERE we are...I have no clue. I was doing a bit of training in the woods which seemed pretty vacant; sure as hell weren't any parties goin' on."

Cate sighed with relief as Leslie stood. Feeling the autumn chill in the air, she folded her arms as she looked on to Ryuusei. She remembered him from the bar a while back and it was strange to see him here. He'd jumped continents just as she did. It was interesting and she'd develop that later...
Waving off the smoke, she looked around the forest "We're not even close to tavern. And we were together all night; I would have noticed if someone had dumped something into your beer, Les. No, this isn't a drug induced trip...something happened to us." she shivered "Can you lead us out of the woods, Ryuu...."she stumbled on his name trying to remember "sei?" she asked with hesitation "Are we still in the UK at least?"

('We' were all together?) It sounded like these two were hanging out in a group; his eyes scanned the area, but saw no trace of any one other than the three of them.
Cate then asked if he could lead them out of the woods. "Yeah, meanwhile we'll keep an eye out for your other peeps." He rose and started slowly down a trail, wanting to give them a chance to get their barrings...and that's when her other question hit him. "The U-The UK?!" He bolted around to face them. "THAT'S where you guys were?! Holy shit, I was all the way on the West Coast, ya know still in the States?" And these woods looked nothing like the woods he'd been camping in...even with the landscaping he was doing. Man, this was lamost putting HIM in the mood to Party, too bad the Weed's back in the van...wherever THAT was. "Your friends could be anywhere."

Leslie looked at Cate and offered her his coat. He listened to her and agreed although he would have to wonder why or what happened and when Ryuusei chimed he gave him a look of what the hell was he going on about but decided it best not to ask. They were most but Cate seemed to know where they were going. That was always a start.
“Well if it isn’t drugs then what caused this.”
He looked at Ryuusei. When did this guy realize that they weren’t where they started and now he was surprised.
“Yes the U.K. The eye should be able to be seen. Cate you agree?”

Cate nodded and took his coat “Thank you.” She replied as she slowly slipped her arms into the oversized jacket. His cologne enveloped her nose, instantly making her smile for the moment.
Looking ahead, she bit her lip “Well, let’s get out of the clearing and see.” She spoke quickly as she stepped forward out of the brush. They were on a hill which allowed her to see further away. “You know, what I could probably do is just port there...” she thought out loud. Shaking her head, she didn’t see the eye anywhere “It’s not there. There’s nothing but....” she squinted her eyes “There are familiar buildings, but...” she sighed heavily “I’m going in for a closer look...”

Leslie nodded to her as she took his jacket. He followed along easily enough now that his eyes had adjusted to the darkness. The teaching of a clearing would be nice but where were they in relation to where they had been?
“To say I’m officially disturbed would be understating it just a little bit. Where are the lights of London?”
He was agreeing with Cate but this was very disturbing to him. London looked like it was someone who had a few teeth knocked out. The gaps were what drew the eye not the sections that were lit.
“The Eye isn’t there? What happened?”
He came up behind Cate to looked over her shoulder and study the city. What the hell happened?!?
