There's a new person on the beach. To be precise, there's a new person standing in the water, who looks around with quite a bit of confusion. The last thing she remembers, you see, is holding the water at the dam back so the rest of the team could get out. Jean looks tired, to say the least. After taking a moment or two to get her bearings

Scott often finds himself looking out his window at the beach. It helps him relax, he thinks. Except, this time, he finds he's looking at something other than the rolling waves and his breath hitches. Bolting out of his room, Scott runs to the beach.

When he gets there, he slows down and takes a cautious step - he remembers what happened last time.

"Jean?" he asks, holding his breath and thinking it's too good to be true.

"Scott!" She rushes towards him and pulls him close, giving him a shaky smile. "You're okay," she says after a minute, mostly to reassure herself.

"What happened? We were at Alkali Lake, and then--"

There have been an awful lot of new people on the beach lately, haven't there? Maybe it has something to do with the coming summer, Molly theorizes. Sitting back from her sand sculpture (which was originally a castle, but is now something more like a town), she stabs her plastic shovel into the loose sand and brushes off her hands, giving Jean a bright smile. "Hi! Did you just get here?"

[lovesthegoodguy]

Jean smiles back and heads over, being careful of the sand town. "Apparently so," she says with a shrug. "Can you tell me where I am?"

[hastwoheroes]

"Yes," Molly nods. "You're on the island. And I know it's not where you came from. That's just what happened to me."

"Alright," she says slowly, and glances up at the hotel. "Is there any way off?" That could be important, you see. She doesn't know if her plan succeeded, if she ended up saving the rest of the team.

Wandering on foot toward the shore from the other direction is Warren Worthington, wings half spread behind his back. He waves when he sees someone already at the beach, if he'll recognize her name or face at all it would only be from published research at the like, but he doesn't at first. "Hello," he called, noting how tired she looked. "Just get here?"

[lovesthegoodguy]

"I guess you could say that," she replies, heading towards Warren with a slight smile. "How'd I end up on an island?"

[amutantangel]

"Your guess is as good at mine, I was flying over the midwest when I got here and there aren't exactly any oceans there. All I do know is that there isn't any other land for as far as I or anyone else can fly."

"Alright," Jean replies, with a bit of a confused blink. "Well. Where are you from?"
