Newbie Shuttle, Portalocity Terminal, BWI (Saturday Morning Fandom Time)

After everyone was done shouting at and/or hugging him to say goodbye – and there had been a lot of both –Victor Mancha had two choices in getting from Los Angeles to BWI. The first was taking a commercial flight, which would have been reassuringly normal.

The problem was that, even if he somehow got past the metal detectors, he suspected his circuitry might count as the kind of portable electronic device that wasn’t very takeoff-and-landing-friendly. He didn’t exactly have an easy off switch, and crashing a plane by mistake seemed like a big step towards super-villainhood.

Which meant he got to the Baltimore airport via portal. He’d never been through one before so he didn’t have much to go by, but it seemed like a nice portal: If nothing else, it smelled far better than Cloak’s ... cloak had. Victor was grateful to know that hadn’t been the state-of-the-art in teleporting.

And now he was on the East Coast other than New York for the first time. Once he’d exhausted the little potential for exploration the terminal had, he sat in a semi-comfortable airport chair, suitcase at his feet, and tried to break the Tetris high score on his phone while keeping watch for any other kids.

A padlocked pet carrier rattled at him. "Let me guess -- you're also the baggage handler? Because I need to be handled!!!"

"Is your name Scrappy Doo?" Anakin asked warily.

Because it was, that carrier was being "accidentally" left behind.

The island would probably be better off if the carrier was "accidentally" left behind, anyways.

"That sounds like a dog's name," Bucky grumbled.

"You're not a dog?" Anakin guessed astutely, trying to peer into the cage.

For all knew, it was a really irritated Ewok.

Bucky's jaw dropped. He didn't realize Anakin couldn't see him very well, and he didn't care, either. All he knew was that he'd just gotten mistaken for a dog.

"Fuh... Whuh... Huh... Whuh..."

"Oh, you're a cat," Anakin said, picking up the cage after getting a better look.

A talking cat, but he'd taught a unicorn.

It was possible Anakin had been in Fandom too long.

"Oh, you're not blind or stupid," Bucky countered. "...And you have funny hair."

"I don't care about the opinion of cats on my personal hygiene," Anakin said, hoisting the cage into the bus.
