Now you're right beneath my feet, but still within my reach

He wanted an escape, an exit, a way out. Peter had screwed up everything so thoroughly that he couldn’t muddle his way out, at least not now. He needed a break from string theory, consequences, reactions and responsibilities. He couldn’t go back to before he’d messed things up, not until he had a solution because the potential for screwing things up further was too high. He needed to go somewhere fresh, somewhere he hadn’t touched to focus on how he could fix his timeline. Peter took a deep breath, closed his eyes and used Hiro’s teleportation.

When he opened his eyes, he had no idea where he was. It felt different from what he was accustomed to. It looked different and it certainly wasn’t torn up from a virus or an explosion. That was an improvement in and of itself. He took a step forward, glancing around for clues to where he was. Honestly, he didn’t really care where he was. It was a case of ‘anywhere but there’. This wasn’t there. It worked for him.

Sassy was on patrol, sort of, well, patrolling. As one does, when one is on patrol. Look, she didn't make up the word, okay?

Anypoodle, Sassy was on patrol and she was bored. The kind of bored that made her think it would be a good idea to try and find vampires instead of letting the vampires come to her. Maybe it had been just a bad day for burials or something, but she hadn't seen any hands inexplicably shooting through the dirt so she was bored. Mindbendingly, painfully, inexhaustibly bored.

Except she was bored and she had a cross bow and, as her inherent need for violence hadn't yet been fulfilled, a rather itchy trigger fingers, so when a dude randomly appeared out of no where right in front of him, well...

"Holy shit!" Luckily, the cross bow shot went wide, like really wide, but still. "Wow, person man thing, hey you're kinda cute. Look! You really shouldn't just show up outta no where in the middle of the night 'cause I could have shot you and that would be bad, I would need therapy, it would become a thing, you should look into a warning system with that magic trick."
