When Bruce stepped out of the portal, he was rather surprised. For one thing, he expected to end up in Egypt for some specialized training. This... wasn't that. It looked like London, only with blimps. And giant TV screens. Yet it was still somewhat old-timey. Maybe even Victorian judging by the clothing he saw on the streets.

Bruce looked up to see the blimps. Huh. "Well, that explains why London looks strange. Part of it, at least. I can't explain the clothes yet."

Somebody rode by on a motorcycle with a giant front tire and a tiny rear tire. It had extraneous gears on it, so it was clearly steampunk.
