It was pretty hard to find a good place for a portal in a city like Los Angeles, outside of an actual Portalocity hub. It helped that this was Marvel not an entirely mundane kind of LA (if such a thing existed anywhere in the multiverse), but still, Karolina had found a place that worked, even if it wasn't perfect.

This was it. The better part of a year after Karolina had left Los Angeles, she was finally back, and meeting up with the rest of the Pride's kids.
