Well.

[ Well indeed. The Red Hand's plan didn't quite go as they wanted, but the Void didn't kill them all. That's something, right?

Of course, John doesn't say that, or much else that he's thinking about the battle or the Gem or the far worlds. He just shakes his head a little. ]

If anyone's ended up somewhere and has a hell of a long trip to get where they actually want to be, I might be able to play taxi for a while. I fully intend on checking all these new -- to us, at least -- places out, so I might as well be useful while I'm at it.

It was a magical sound.

In case it wasn't obvious, I'm damn glad to see you.

[ There's a little snort. ]

Glad to see you, too. No way I was going back to my world, but- wasn't so sure about everyone else.

You're stuck with me. But it's good to see as many familiar faces as I have so far.

It is. I'm- more than a little surprised by it, but I'll take it.

[ A pause, and- ]

Be there in five minutes; just gotta grab those clothes for you. So if you're not out of the water already, now's probably a good time.

I've spent a lot longer than five minutes in the water.

[Steve, bad joke. But he looks serious then.]

So what now? You think the Red Hand will be decommissioned?

I don't want to know what you and the naiads got up to before I interrupted.

[ But there's a shake of his head. ]

Still got shit to do. A whole possible future to prevent from getting as bad.

You'd be disappointed.

[HIS HERO.

He's still damp, his clothes a little clingy. Steve reaches for them with a smile.]

Thanks.

[Meanwhile, Colonel Phillps barks and jumps around John, looking for one of his friends.]

No problem.

[ The clothes are all Drabwurld fashion, and there's a cloak as well; it's November, after all. Colonel Phillips is greeted with a little laugh and a promise that he'll get to see the cave lions soon. ]
