BWI Airport Portalocity Lounge, Saturday Morning

No more than a few minutes ago, Five had been waiting in Dallas, Texas in 1963 to make sure Kennedy died. The fact that he was in the future/past wasn't actually that strange for him. Because his job. The fact that he was now physically a teenager again, however, really was strange. And annoying.

Mostly annoying.

He grabbed a newspaper--it was 2021 somehow??--and a coffee to take a seat where he could unobtrusively observe people. The fact that he was basically a kid in an ill-fitting suit and sitting near a glittery sign that proclaimed this the pick up spot for Fandom High was just a side-note.

Where the driver and guest will ping in!

If it seemed like the bus appeared out of thin air, it was because Nina had somehow managed to make it so the frelling thing disappeared when it was in motion.

Just the bus. Not the people in it. It was a Look, but at least it was a look without inflatable flamingoes, so Anakin was just gritting his teeth and bearing it.

He got out of the bus and stalked into the airport. "FANDOM HIGH!" he bellowed. "Let's go!"

Yeah, Five was just gonna squint at that thing. That thing happening right there. But he sure as hell wasn't gonna show how it was weird or anything.

That was reserved for basic human kindness and familial affection. As was the case for all the Hargreeves brood.

"I don't know if the yelling is necessary."

"Sometimes people have headphones in," Anakin explained.

Five made a disgruntled noise because he couldn't fault that logic.

"Kids these days," he grumbled. God, he was such a grumpy, old man.

Anakin snickered. "You're not a student?"

"I'm a little old to be one." Five. Five, please look in a mirror more closely.

Anakin blinked. "You're sure about that?"

Because you look 12, Five.

Being distracted by his phone and this insulting excuse for a cup of coffee, Ignis only looked up when the rallying call had been let out.

And having been subjected to a deluge of pictures and videos of previous Crimes Against Shuttles, he couldn't help feeling quite a bit...underwhelmed.

"Huh," he mused, slipping his phone into a pocket. "I somehow expected quite a bit...more."

But he knew Nina. And now he regretted not insisting on just portaling to the island after all...

"More of what?" Anakin asked.

"The shuttle," said Ignis, with a gesture toward it. "I would have expected to have seen it, if not at the very least heard it, coming from several miles away..."

Anakin frowned. "You don't happen to know Nina, do you?"

Or had the Tales of the Bus become inter-galactic gossip?

"She happens to be the entire reason I am even here," said Ignis with a dryness that almost bordered on amused.

While Prompto would just be over here not existing, APPARENTLY.

"In that case, you've probably heard of me," Anakin said. "I'm Anakin Skywalker. She calls me Bus Dean."

"That was very loud," Lydia said, unable to conceal her little wince as she wandered over. It had sure looked like that bus appeared out of thin air, but...maybe she'd seen it wrong?

Or maybe the Maitlands weren't the only weird thing she could see. Lydia was keeping her options open.

"I'd rather get everyone's attention immediately," Anakin said. "It saves time."

“One moment!”

Enola had lost sight of any baggage handler and was now trying to drag a trunk almost as big as her to that strange automobile.

"Would you like help?" Anakin asked.

“No! No,” she said as she continued to strugggle with the chest with little success. “I am an independent woman’s and-“

At that point she slipped and fell on her hip regulators.

“Never mind. Yes. I would appreciate the assistance.”

"It's not a problem," Anakin said, lifting the bag effortlessly.

“Thank you so much,” Enola said with a huff as she pulled herself to her feet and then handed the strange looking man a dollar tip. “You are very helpful for an American.”

Belle jumped at the clearly magicked and unfamiliar vehicle appearing outside the window. Then jumped again at the bellow from the man who had just walked in to the building.

"You're from the...school?" He certainly seemed to be but it was best to be certain. Her father had, she was now sure, not done his research on this very thoroughly. But she could have told him that, if he'd bothered to listen.

Anakin nodded. "I'm the Dean of Students." He pulled out the roster. "Which one are you?"

Well, at least he hadn't asked her when she was from. That was an improvement over her first conversation here.

"I'm Belle."

Anakin checked her name from his list. "Welcome, Belle."
