Dawnstar stepped into the time portal the Legion had opened in Superman's Fortress of Solitude, leaving the 21st century behind. Light enveloped her, and she stepped out

Super-heroes was a term he had heard on a few occasions, though most universes he had been to they had simply been stories.
"Ah, a super-hero. I've never actually met one before, though the costumes does look about right. What powers come along with that dashing ensemble?"
He nodded at himself, semming to regard his own form. "I don't know what you would call this, exactly. My current form comes from a little girl mishearing and mispronouncing my name. No one seems to hear it correctly when I say it. As for what world I'm from, I come from a world between other worlds."
"I am a deep-space pathfinder, as I said. The Legion gave me a way to apply my powers to something more meaningful than just earning a fee," she replied.
"Between other worlds...Interesting. I have been to a few such places. What is yours like?"
"That certainly sounds like an interesting job you have. Its good to have work that keeps you busy; I should know. As for my home... Its part of every other universe, but doesn't have a central point, exactly. My home is directly related to my job. I regulate the balance between universes by guiding heroes such as yourself."
"Most of the time I just end up in a new place before I know it, and from there whatever I'm supposed to solve makes itself clear to me. And I'm always on the job."
"Less a job than a state of mind, then." She remembered Duo Damsel once saying that Legionnaires always thought of themselves as Legionnaires, even when they went to inactive status. "Have you found your purpose in this place? In fact, what is this place? I've seldom seen anything like it."
"This is Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It seems that people come here to learn spells and magic, among other things. I'm not one-hundred percent sure why I'm here yet. I followed a suspiscious man here from my last place of employment and I expect he is up to no good."
"There's always at least one of those about no matter where you go, it seems," she replied with a small sigh. "I did not mean to come here, though - I was headed home, to the 31st century. How...?"
"From what I can tell, some people choose to come here, some come here unaware that its happening, and some come here when they die. I suppose it didn't catch me off guard that I was suddenly here because of my usual mode of travel."
She nodded. "I was attempting an unusual mode of travel myself. Time travel has been known to go wrong before. I thought perhaps it had again." She looked around the room. "Finding that I was brought here by someone's will is a bit disturbing."
Time travel was a lot easier when it was as easy as breathing, Antubis thought. He decided not to say such out loud.
"I don't really know if its by someone's will, or the place's itself. I'm guessing there are better authorities on that besides myself. But as you are here, I can tell you people get sorted into houses based on their characteristics. I'm stuck on where I would put you. Would you call yourself more heroic or more intelligent?"
In a cool voice, he asked, "You mentioned a legion. What legion would that be? You certainly dont look like a Roman."

"That would be the Legion of Super-Heroes. May I ask what world you are from? I have never seen a species quite like yours."

A thought popped into her head. "Are you here now on such a job? If there is danger here..."
