Regina awoke in a cloudy daze. Last thing she remembered was a giant wave,
conjured by their mermaid hostage, crashing over the Jolly Roger. It was utter
madness. Has she known her magic would have caused such a catastrophe, she would
have held back. But taunting the mermaid was much too fun, and she wasn't about
to listen to the naive rants of Snow White either. If that mermaid threatened them once
more, she would have turned her into dinner. But after that manic wave crashed over
their ship, she lost consciousness.
Her hazel eyes became blurry, and she struggled to regain movement in her body.
With a stir, she finally managed to sit upright. She was no longer on the ship. Tall oak
trees of a forest surrounded her, as the last rays of light shone through the golden leaves.
Regina felt something trickle on the side of her forehead, and so proceeded to reach for it.
Blood. She winced and bit her lip gingerly, as she shakily rose up on her feet. She was
incredibly sore, from head to toe. A light throbbing pain in her head began to increase,
as she felt a headache coming on. She looked around. No one else could be seen.
"Well. That's just peachy," Her voice was low, and she let our a silent sneer. Scar-lined
lip curled with distaste. She was alone in a place unfamiliar to her. And yet her dear son
Henry was no where to be found. Panic began to rise within her chest, as she felt it
compress. She wasn't usually one to panic.
She barely had any recollection of what had happened before the wave hit. Why was she here,
and not the others? Not that she cared, really. She despised the lot of them. However,
why didn't they suffer the same fate as she? It was a strange predicament to be in, and
she had no explanation for it. Her first thought, was to blame the mermaid. That
bitch summoned the wave that threatened them. It was initial instinct to blame her first. But
something about this this not seem right at all.
Why was she here? But more importantly...Where was she? |

Diana had spent yet another sunrise on the beach. Time here seemed so slow. Especially that she had no idea where she was or even why she was here. The crystal clear water was coming in slow waves crashing on shore. She sat up to look at the beach and adjusted her glasses. She stood and dusted the sand off her behind. She knew it was a long walk through the woods to get back to her home. She found the river again and began to follow it. She was about halfway home when she heard a small crash coming from her right. Her Wonder Woman instincts took over and she began to talk through the leaves and trees to find the origin of the sound. She heard more leaves shuffling and continued through the woods until she saw the cause of the noise though some leaves. It was a woman of average height with black hair. She seemed as confused as Diana was the first time she had woken up here.
"Well. That's just peachy," the woman said with a deep voice. Though she knew she had nothing to fear, Diana hesitated for a few moments before approaching her. After all, a friendly face wasn’t the worse thing when you were in a new place. She walked up to the woman and put a hand out.
“Hi, I’m Diana Prince.”

Regina brushed leaves and dirt off her pants, and ran her fingers through her
jet-black hair. She huffed in frustration as she was at a loss at what to do. Spinning
around on her heeled boots, she tried to take in her surroundings. The forest seemed
eerie. A dull light pushed through the treetops, but barely reached the ground. It was
slightly frosty, leaving the ground stone cold. She did not like the vibe she was getting
here. But nothing about this forest seemed familiar to her.
This was indeed a worry.
She crinkled her forehead as the sound of footsteps echoed in the distance.
Someone was coming, that much was obvious. She narrowed her eyes towards
the sound, as she raised her hands up in defence. She would fry them, if the
need be. And Regina was willing to try anything to get her son back.
Bushes rustled at that moment, as tall woman emerged into the small clearing.
She woman adopted an authorative demeanour. They carried herself like a woman of
power. That which had Regina very curious. The woman seemed fearless, to the
point that almost annoyed her. But soon enough, the woman extended her hand and
introduced herself. Regina eyed the woman suspiciously, and yet still kept her distance.
She looked at the woman's face, and then to her extended hand. Oh hell no. She looked
back at the woman, and placed her hands on her slender hips, "I don't know
you, so i'll pass on that." Her voice was deep and fierce, as she
kept her emotional shield up.
She does not trust very easily. Keeping her Evil Queen persona was a difficult habit to break. "Regina. For the sake of argument, where the hell are we?" Regina said simply. She wasn't about to waste time with small talk. This time, she was on her own. And she will be doing things her way. |

"We appear to have lost all communication with Stark servers, Sir" The robotic British voice said in Tony's ear as he flew across a field of dark green tree tops. The terrain wasn't recognisable to him as he passed over, twisting and turning so that the thrusters on the Mk42 had to struggle to keep up. "Yep, it doesn't appear that we're in Kansas any more, JARVIS." Tony replied, his eyes using the dashboard screen in front of him to check for life forms.
"Good reference, Sir. Although we were never in Kansas to begin with."
Tony rolled his eyes in the suit, ignoring the comment. The heads up display in his helmet blinked, and he moved his eyes to bring it to the centre. Two blips were indicated in the section of forest up ahead. Definitely life, but what he couldn't tell. Igniting the thrusters at his palms he headed towards the pair of signals. He flew the suit through the tree tops, head first, flipping at the last minute. Tony hit the ground with his knee and fist pushed into the top layer of dirt. He stood himself up, and looked up at the two ladies standing before him. He smiled to himself inside his mask so they couldn't see.
Looking over one, he saw she had on a rather extravagant dress. He held out his arms wide, and addressed her, "You know, you'd fit in really well with a friend of mine. He like Shakespeare in the park too" He told her, tilting his face mask to the right by a fraction.
"So, which one of you lovely ladies is going to tell me where we are?" He asked through the mask.
"Sir?" JARVIS butted in to his ear, "I'm detecting rather large power fluctuations coming from the woman that you are flirting with."
Tony looked over the woman in the carefully. The heads up display in his eye line blinked to red.

Diana stood in an awkward silence as the other woman stood and looked at her.
"I don't know you, so I'll pass on that." She replied looking down at Diana’s hand. She didn’t move but before she could reply, the stranger replied: “Regina. For the sake of argument, where the hell are we?” Diana pulled her hand back.
“I have no idea, I’ve only been here for a week and I still can’t figure out, I don’t even remember how I got here.” Diana replies with a shrug. “I’ve been living in the city since then; it’s really well organized and has plenty of room, if you want a place to stay.” Diana could sense the other woman getting irritated as her eyes scanned the woods around them. Before Diana would add anything, what sounded like jet engines resonated over their heads and a metal suit landed before them and stood to look at them. Diana watched as the suit, or the man in the suit, addressed the newcomer, Regina. Diana stood quietly and watched as he seemingly flirted with her. There was a sudden shift in the air, and a chill ran down Diana’s back. She noticed that Regina’s dark eyes were on the newcomer and her could immediately tell that this would not end well…

There was something really peculiar about this place, and yet she was still trying
to work out if this was Neverland. Her original destination. There was still no
sign of the others, but for now, she had no choice but to continue alone. She
was no warrior. Adventure was definitely not her strong suit.
During her reign as Queen, it was more logical to send people off to
do her bidding. And that was simple. Now? It was all up to her. And in a
sense of relief, she was glad she didn't have to rely on the other idiots to
help her find her lost son.
Regina eyed the woman suspiciously. Something told her that the woman - Now
known as Diana - was just as confused as she was. In return, she crinkled her
brow as the woman basically answered the question running through her mind.
Diana was also clueless as to their location. She went to reply to her statement, when something metallic fell from
the sky. Literally. In crashed down on the clearing beside them, and in
defence, Regina raised her hands. She muttered under her breath as the
thing - A man in gold and red armour - stood up from the ground.
At that moment Regina was almost convinced she was definitely dreaming.
Her expression was a mixture of confusion and bewilderment.
Where the hell was she?!
Regina looked offended, "Will you watch where
you're landing?!" She frowned as the man introduced himself. She could practically FEEL his eyes observing her. And it was pissing her off. "What are you looking at?" She was definitely getting irritated. She glanced back at Diana, and declined her offer. "I don't have time
to get cosy. So no one knows where we are? Just perfect."
Regina ran her hand through her hair again. Something she had a habit of doing
when she was frustrated. Right now she was beyond frustrated, and straight to
borderline angry. She just wanted to find her son. Just when she was on the
right path to finding him, she ends up disappearing to God-knows-where.

"I'll have you know, I'm always in complete control of where I land," Tony replied to the strange woman's statement. "And while I'm at it, was there a reason you raised your hands I landed? Going to tell me stop?" He asked, as he walked around the forest floor; the sticks from the trees cracking under his armour. Tony walked over, and leaned against the tree, crossing the suit arms across the chest plate, "Tell you what, if you want you can use those hands in the air to bring me a drink if there's a bar nearby."
Tony twisted his gaze towards the other woman standing quietly off to the side, "Well, aren't you just great looking," he told her as he looked across at her; glad that he hadn't opened the face plate yet so his gaze wasn't to her eyes. "I'm getting a little worried, Sir." JARVIS spoke up from inside the suit.
"Grow a spine, JARVIS," Tony replied, well aware that his voice had come through the outward speaker on the suit at the same time. Activating a function in his armour, Tony's face plate lifted to show his face to the women he was addressing. "Alright, ladies. One at a time, He replied smiling at them both, There's plenty of me to go around. Just don't tell Pepper if you see her." He winked at the two woman as he finished.
"So, I take it no one else knows how we got here then?" He asked glancing back and forth between them. He tapped on the side of his helmet, "JARVIS?" he asked, "Is the topographical map of the area ready yet?"
"Almost Sir," Came the reply in that familiar tone, "I calculate another 30 minutes without access to Stark servers,"
Tony nodded, and again looked between the two woman.. |
