Sure, Dragon has an aircraft in the area that can pick up the wayward cape.

"Thank you," Lorica says as she climbs aboard. "I don't have local ID or anything. Did Rete explain the whole everything?"

"Rete explained that you are Lorica and that you spent a month in a different world with different powers and a new body - was there more?"

"More than one new power, the other dimension has its own version of triggering and I did that, but yeah, that's the broad strokes. I can't maintain Rete any more, do you think you can help it if it starts deteriorating?"

"I'm not very good at AI tinkering but I can try my best. Was the other version of triggering a week-long period of trauma called awakening?"

"...yes." That's a weird way to phrase it if Rete explained it. "How did you know?"

"Thirteen days ago someone from such a world, with a personality and background strongly resembling yours, appeared in Brockton Bay. Since then people have started awakening worldwide and dungeons have started manifesting - I'm guessing those were also in the world you visited?"

"...yes, the previous occupant of this body, uh, triggered into me, in a dungeon."

"Mm, we don't as of yet have an explanation for why your alternate self appeared here."

"Does she want to go home?"

"I'm not certain - I assume she'd appreciate the option if you have means of transit."

"I met a cape there who can pull people to his location. Seemed to be a local instance of Tunnel Teen. Works across smaller numbers of dimensions, hasn't been tested across as many as I just traversed though."

"Tunnel Teen goes by Vallis now and since awakening has what sounds like the same esper power, though I don't believe its been tested across dimensions."

"Oh, well, at least that's a much better name."

"I can't say I disagree."

Lorica is pretty quiet for the rest of the ride.

"Would you like to be dropped off at Protectorate HQ - Transit is there now."

"Yeah, that seems fine."

The landing zone is a bit off the main rig, outside the forcefield.

She knows the way. She used to work here.

She goes in and finds her dad. He takes her home.

At least the other her isn't living in her house any more and hasn't made a mess of her room.

Probably it wouldn't be a good idea for her to be the one to inform May and Lucien about Lorica, so long as someone else is going to do it soon.

Lorica appears to have had a Butcher-like power which caused her to take up the body of a person in May's original world. She triggered in place with a new power to traverse dimensions and came home with it. She is also an esper now.

"That's... a development..."

"I..." He leans against May some.

"Yeah."
