Since Cate seemed to have an idea of where they were, he followed along. When they reached a hill overlooking the London cityscape. "Never been here before, but it looks quite dead to me. what's this 'eye' you're talkin' about." He wasn't all that familiar with Excalibur and could only guess it was a piece of tech they had.
"I'd say we go in for a closer look. Since you guys know the city, where'd be a good place to start?"

Cate wrapped Leslie’s jacket around her “Take a shoulder, guys. We’re porting down there.” She cleared her throat “The London Eye is a landmark in London. It’s a Ferris wheel and can be seen very far away. It’s a romantic spot for couples, or just a good place to get away from people if needed.” She reminisced about her personally history of the landmark. Closing her eyes, she remember the location and began the transport.
Leslie and Ryuusei could see a blue circular tunnel as they raced through the dimension. It was cool as white smoke began to gather as they neared their destination. It was over in a second, but the experience could be quite terrifying for first time porters.
The trio appeared before the Eye and as the smoke cleared fro. Their view, they could see that the Eye was disheveled. All that stood were bones of the structure. Giving a small gasp, Cate looked around in silence. This wasn’t the London she had just been in....
The wind gave a gentle breeze, sending a crumpled piece of paper to tap her ankle. Looking down, she grabbed the scrap and attempted to flatten it out on the cobblestoned ground.
It was a newspaper...but the date was wrong...

Ryuusei placed a hand on Cate's shoulder and was teleported along with them. It was odd, there was snoke involved; it wasn't like the orb of white light that enveloped him when he was ported from his own world to this one...
...Or again when he was brought to this version of London...
He was felt himself 'move' through the dimensions but didn't have the same sensation with either of those trips.
(I don't think she moved us all here...) A rather unsettling thought crept into his mind. However, his attention was torn away from that by Cate's reaction to what she beheld.
"...Looks like someone gauged it out..." As his gaze fell on the skeleton remains of what was once the structural base for a giant Ferris Wheel. "And instead of puttin' it in somethin' to persevere, just left it out on the table to get picked out by bugs and rot."
By now she was holding the newspaper, he too looked at the date.
"What the FUCK?!"

Tavish has gathered more supplies from the local grocery and came out of the store with arms full of bags. Looking over to Krystal, he smiled to the blond “Let’s hope Oliver can give me some credit for helping ye guys. I know the man hates me for whatever reason, but I’m trying.” He smirked as he opened the vehicle. Looking back to the store, he shook his head “One of the last ones open...” he sighed heavily. “Krys, would ye like to...yah know, go on a date tonight? Get out of the chaos for a bit and maybe stroll about in the woods? I can make a dinner or whatever tickles ye fancy?” He asked softly as he saw smoke from afar....

Krys smiled as she saw the man who stole her heart came out of the store. She had her hands full of desperate supplies. They were few and far between as war had found its way to her home. She shrugged her shoulders, "Well if anything, he needs to just accept that you are not going anywhere. I would like to think that helping save his best friends would have counted for more." She gave him a quick wink. Despite all the warnings, she had fallen deeply in love with Tavish. She wouldn't have it any other way. She giggled as he seemed a little shy asking her out. She kissed his cheek as she put her bags in the trunk. "I would love a stroll in the woods. It would be perfect to have a little picnic away from everyone else."
Her face lit up with the mere thought of them getting out of the city. She enjoyed the woods, even when they were not covered with snow. She was about to entwine her hand in his when she saw the smoke. Her eyes narrowed as there was a familiar feel to it. "Wanna check that out? I can easily put out whatever fire there is." She gave him a little wink.

Leslie took a deep breath as he had come to not like being teleported by Cate, in a fashion. It always gave him an upset stomach but it was better than walking. He didn't mind it so much he just didn't like the feeling at all but the person who was teleporting them was his friend and could deal with it. As his mind to traveled to Cate he found it wandering to her and he stopped it considering the situation.
"Does the sensation ever stop? I used to like the rides at the carnival that spun you around but that is nothing like it. Its like being tickled, spun, and then dropped on my head. I will say the one thing, the person running the ride though is a good friend."
He noted the that both were staring at a newspaper and when Ryuusiu exclaimed he walked over and took a look it was now his turn to be surprised.
"Tell me this is a joke, please?"

Tavish grinned to her before finally replying “Aye, it doesn’t look like campfire smoke, that’s for sure.” He grimaced before hopping into the Jeep “Seatbelts, love. If it looks remotely terrifying, we’re calling in reinforcements. I’m not letting ye dive headfirst into danger, no matter how much ye protest.” He gently demanded.
Waiting for her to climb in, he then locked the doors and sped off toward the smoke, only to see a crumbled Hellfire in the trenches “BLOODY?!” His foot slammed into the break, resulting in a screech from the tires “He-Hellfire is...gone?!” He exclaimed quickly “Emma...” he whispered softly “We’ve got to go in!”
————————————
Cate shook her head “Not really. You just deal.” She smirked before turning into all seriousness “It looks like a storm just went through...but that’s impossible. It was clear as day a few hours ago...” she gasped as her eyes scanned over the print of the newspaper “Sentinels taken over London. The end of mutants...” she spoke softly. She gulped as she backed away, dropping the paper “Ryuusei, did you port us into the future by chance?!” She exclaimed with fury. “We destroyed the blue prints months ago! How did this happen?! What the hell is going on?!” She breathed heavily “We...we need to get to the Manor. I need to speak with Brian. I need to go...” she huffed.

Noting the fury Cate directed toward him, Ryuusei took a deep breath and replied. "It's possible." That teleport sure felt like what brought him to this planet. He believed that to be a fluke; some unforeseen result of taking hold of that blood-covered sword and the wierd energies from both the blood and the gem in the hilt...but now. "Somethin' like this happened to me before, I was teleported from my planet to this one."

Leslie gave a laugh as she told him that you just learned to deal with it. That was a good point that if you could tolerate it then getting around was a dream. He could tolerate it just fine. He really thought he could anyways. He wondered how many times he could be teleported before he wanted to stop it due to wanting to vomit. He didn't dwell on that as his mind returned tot he date and then the headline which caused his eyes to get wider after reading it.
"I believe I can deal with that every time we have to teleport. This though..." he pointed to the headline, "...I'm going to try and not deal with as this is ludicrous! Who the hell would allow this to happen?!? I mean governments wouldn't allow this. The X-Men and Excalibur would fight this!"
She asked a very odd question from his perspective and one he would have never asked. The future?!? What the hell was in those drinks they had and the future?!? Really the future?!? He felt a panic well up inside him and then took a deep breath at it and let it out and it somewhat melted away. It wasn't fully gone but he could handle it. Cate made a good point, they would need to go to her home as they would have some answers for this situation and what was going on.
"That is a wonderful idea Cate. Let's get off to the Manor and see what your friends know about all this."
He stopped himself as Ryuusei spoke about who was responsible for this whole trip. He turned slightly to look at him and shook his head. That was not what he wanted to hear. A gifted person without any control over their abilities? Wait that wasn't right most came into their gifts in their teens and learned a modicum of control and if they were truly lucky a group like the X-Men or Excalibur was able to help them with honing their control over their gifts or learning that they weren't as society painted them. He stopped himself from talking when he said another planet. He was tired after drinking, he had passed out in his chair in his living room, and an old science fiction movie was playing on the TV.
"That will take a few moments to digest that you are in fact an extraterrestrial being...although if you think about we are all really extraterrestrial according some origin of the species theories. I guess we are all strangers to the world when we are first born and learn to live on it."
He quickly looked back at Cate and covered a smile as Cate put that focus on Ryuusei that he had learned to appreciate when she had lent it to things he was doing or trying to keep them from being in trouble with the fun they had created together as friends.

Ryuusei fished out a cigarette before responding to Leslie. "Were you born 'bout half a year ago? cuz that's how long I've been here." Then turned to Cate. "Since a week before that party."
They were talking about going to a mansion, HOPEFULLY it was in better shape than the city. He sighed and addressed the pair again. "I'll explain what I can when we get there."

Krys rolled her eyes at him once she got into the jeep. "Please, I am sure we can handle just about anything we find. Between the two of us, Tav, we can defeat just about anything." She rolled the window down slightly for the fresh air. The wind felt good on her face.
Her eyes were half closed before she was lurched forward. Her heart pounded in her chest as the Jeep stopped. She looked at Tavish. Her hand gripped one of his as knot formed in her stomach. "We can see if there is anyone there. I am sure Emma made it out just fine."
She hopped out of the jeep. Her hand had a cold mist coming from it. She was not sure what they were going to find. ~*~*~
In the present, images chased one another as Corrina's head felt like it was going to burst. Something was wrong, terribly wrong! There should never be two people the same in one time. There was three out of place. Each footstep caused her mind to be filled with white hot pain. They were messing with things that they should not. "Fools", she whispered, "Do not go where you thing you should. Come Home before you truly mess things up."

Tavish nodded before jumping out of the car “I’ll go first.” He insisted as he began walking slowly and with caution. Smoke filled the air as it became harder to breathe. The building had been flattened to rubble. “FROST!!!” He yelled out loud before stopping to listen for any sound waves.
Nothing.
Kneeling down as his dark hair fell from his shoulders, he smelled burnt flesh. It was a smell he knew too well. Pulling pieces of dry wall and brick, he shook his head “Nothing here except the bodies of my friends. Everyone has either suffocated, crushed, or burnt to death. I cannot find her body so that must...” he coughed “She must have gotten out or someone took her.” He shuttered “The fire is fresh...”
———————————
Cate gulped, wrapping Leslie’s jacket tighter around her body. His cologne comforted her while it took her to a happier place. She felt emotions that were wrong and twisted, but so good at the same time. He was a taken man and she was engaged. Well, at least she was for now. Her fiancé hadn’t been totally honest with her and she was feeling regrets of the proposal.
Shaking the very thought of infidelity away, she looked forward. “I’m going to try and port ya to the manor. If it’s still there, we should be fine. If not..” she sighed “Just grab my hands.” She gently commanded as she held out her palms.
