ic What's Eating You?

Stesha began feeling a bit less wobbly as the undamaged parts of her hair began to turn green again, and after a minute or two she was able to regain her feet. "Just a little detour through a near-hell dimension on the way home," she told Gabe with a rueful smile, "not much fun, but a nap and a haircut and I'll be fine. Everything here seems... different. A lot different! I had no idea we were going to rewrite the past when we jumped in that portal, and then by the time we knew, it was way too late. But it seems mostly good?" she ventured, looking at the decidedly less-destroyed city. "People don't even seem to remember what happened. Except... oh no." 

 

Her flower portal opened a little more reluctantly than usual, but in just a moment she had a door to her holding area on Sanctuary.. Opening it wide, she called through, "Um, hello, yes! What's the last thing you all remember before I sent you to my safe place?"

"It is awkward situation, yes," admitted Frost as he rose from the side of his aged counterpart. "Buuut, you know, we have saved day!" He smiled, spreading his hands wide to the other heroes. "We saved dimension from Anopheles and made sure their families did not die in horrible agony. It is difficult way to end the day, but a good way to end it all the same!"
