This white-sanded beach on the sticky coast of Florida is quiet, except for the hollars of birds, and the gentle rushing of the surf--

FLASH! BANG!

--and the suddenly-appearing man, who stumbles in shock, his mouth open but no words reaching his tongue.

"Yeah, well, join the club. Anyways. While we've got nothing better to do, care to tell me why you shat yourself when I told you you can't lie worth a damn?"

"I ain't about that shit. I said you'd get to Kansas, so you're fucking well getting to Kansas. Play straight with me or not; up to you."

She sounds genuinely unconcerned.

Easily: "Sure."

She chuckles.

"I get that."

See above re: mutie freak.

"Unless what you're in trouble for is building castles out of people or some shit, we'll get along just fine."

"Nope. 'Fraid not. I actually went to the castle in question with some buddies and hepled 'em rip its heart out. Some serious freaky Cronenberg shit there. Worst part is, apparently the motherfucker that built it is out to make another one."

Dry: "Yeah, me too."

Beat.

"Thanks, though."

"Talk to Rachel. Blonde girl. Hangs around the farm sometimes. She's sorta kinda in charge of that operation, pretty much."

Oh that'll go well. So, so well.

"Good."

Val approves of fighting evil!

"Yep. Belongs to this crazy chick called Lucy. Sometimes she turns into a dragon, but I've never seen her breathe fire or eat anybody, so it's all good. Oh, and she likes fruit."

Beat.



Two beats.





"There's the farm," she says, nodding up ahead. "With the boat and the big-ass robot."

"It's exactly what it looks like. A boat. Buried in the middle of a field. We've got some weird characters around here."

"Nope. It's the bunker. People live there. You'll get to see it close up in a minute."

A minute, because Val's wings are tucking in and folding down into the rough shape of an arrowhead, and she's starting them on a nice lazy glide down to Earth.

Well. Nice and lazy by Val's standards. Adam's mileage may vary here.
