BWI Airport Portalocity Lounge- Saturday morning

[stacyexperiment]

A few days ago Gwen saw New York destroyed and drowned and her friend/roommate/surrogate brother type was presumed dead for a while- got a really amazing obituary for his alter-ego and everything. Today she was waiting for a portal that was going to take her to a school in Maryland. She was actually looking forward to school, just to get back to doing normal things again, but the timing was weird.

She seemed to be the first one here, and the banner meant she was probably in the right seat, so.

Gwen would be the sullen-looking girl sitting under the glittery Fandom High banner and showing too much midriff. And occasionally brushing at the top of her head with her hand because she was convinced the glitter was probably raining down on her.

"How did you...?"

Travis found himself looking for a lighter or a match but there wasn't anything in Johnny's hands and he couldn't see anything on the ground either that Johnny might have subtly dropped.

"Huh?" Still very eloquent. "I can't do that."

Duh.

"Johnny Storm. The Human Torch," Johnny said. "You might just be from a world where I sadly never become completely awesome. Or just haven't yet. I'm not an expert on this kind of stuff, so I'm guessing."

"Could be." But he was definitely going to check into it the first time he got to go back to Kansas. "What are you doing here if you're able to do...that?"

Travis figured someone with a talent like that had to have better things to do.

"After that tsunami I mentioned, I kind of want to lay low for a while," Johnny said.

He had a unique definition of 'lay low.'

"So, you're gonna go to school?" It wouldn't have been Travis's first choice but to each his own. He knew his own experiences were coloring those thoughts, though. "Love academics that much?"

"Pft, no, hate it," Johnny said. "But everything else turned out crappy, so it's worth a shot."

"Wouldn't be my first choice either," Travis said, shaking his head. "Everything must have been really bad for you to turn to school as a last resort kind of thing."

"Yeah, it's not the best situation back home right now," Johnny said. "But whatever. Regular school might be nice. Only one way to find out."

"I guess if it doesn't suit you, you can just up and leave, right?" Travis guessed. "If you ever get the urge to just disappear into a forest, least you know you'll have campfires covered."
