Fenris is a bit sorry Charlie couldn't make this meeting but he's called two more Ley Pendulum bearers to Metropolis to meet the newest member of what might end up being called Primal Force. As an incentive for practice (and showing off) he's set the meeting place in a park where a Ley Line flows so that they can arrive via Pendulum Teleport.

One of the advantages of recovering in Limbo is the time distortion means that much less time passes on Earth than in Limbo, making getting a good night's sleep or recovering from magical overload in time for your coffee date possible. The Old Wolf himself is leaning on a bench, waiting for the others to arrive.

***

Kara had arrived at the meeting place wearing her sapphire crystal pendant like a necklace, she seemed incredibly proud of it and somehow managed to reach up and touch it every few seconds.

The whole teleportation thing was very cool, she was used to flying places and without her powers at the moment; a walk like this would have sucked, "That was incredible." She just shook her head, "I still think it's Quantum Entanglement."

***

Jess has fastened a long leather string around her crystal to make it into an amulet so she doesn't lose it when she shifts. She's in human form now but still glued to Zee's side. Okay maybe not glued but still. She hasn't let her out of her sight since the battle. And eyes anyone else getting to close to her warily. She does seem to brighten and relax a bit when she spots Fenris though. The relaxing surroundings of the park probably don't hurt either. Limbo is so not Jes's favorite place.

***

Zee was purely exhausted from her efforts in the Iron Works. OK, maybe portalling the death curse had something to do with it too. Whatever it was Jes had ended up in Limbo as well, and Zee kinda enjoyed the time with the Coyote curled on the bed at her side.

Zee can't wear her pendulum as a necklace, she already wears a diamond encrusted collar, instead she's hooked it around her belt so it sits just on hip. Of course, Zee could just focus on Fenris and teleport, but she wants to ''feel'' the pendulums power and help Jes learn to use hers. She's following Jes as they spot Fenris… and Kara "There they are…"

***

"Welcome Kara." Fenris smiles. "I see you're getting used to that already. Good. That'll make things easier." He turns as he senses Jesana and Zatara arrive. "Ah excellent, they're here." He gestures over to the two younger women. "Come come. No need to be shy. This is Kara. Kara, this is Jesana and you already know Zee I believe."

***

Kara smiles back at Fenris, "Yes, it was so cool. I just teleported, well the crystal teleported me." She corrects herself, "The Ley Pendulum teleported me." She was just buzzing with excitement, "Hey Zee and nice to meet you Jesana! We're all protectors of the leylines now!" Kara was way too excited about it.

***

Jes just kinda stares at her for a moment and then nods a bit. "Hello." She seems a bit tense still, but after a moment manages a smile. "It's nice to meet you." She would normally offer a handshake but, settles for a wave instead. She doesn't want to step away from Zee.

***

"Yes, we are, Kara." Noting Jes' protective tendancy, Zee smiles slightly. She's not quite as excited as Kara, but it's cool none-the-less. "Hello Fenris." Zee joins the others, bringing Jesana along with her.

***

Fenris motions to the bench, inciting the others to have a seat. "Make yourselves comfortable." He smiles. "Everything is well today. I simply wanted you to meet one another. You're all bearers of the Ley Pendulums. And it's possible we have a name for you now. Primal Force." The god-wolf smiles. "We'll have to confer with Charlie on that one, see if she approves."

***

Kara returns the wave and takes a seat on the bench, looking at Jesana and Zee, "Are you both as excited as I am?" She might have been wondering in the back of her head if their pendulums touched what would happen.

***

Jes eyes the bench next to Zee, then the ground at her feet, wavering. She often sits on the ground forgetting thats not normal for a human. At least when there are chairs and such around. She gives Kara a glance, and decides she doesn't care about being weird right now, settles herself on the ground at Zee's feet and leans her head on Zee's knee. "I had enough excitement last.." Jes blinks. "Whenever it was." "I will do my best with this though."

***

Zee can't help it, she places a hand on Jes' head and catches herself "Please Jes, sit on the bench. I'm truly doing o.k." Smiling at Kara, Zee nods "Yes, I am but… it's a big thing we've been charged with." This HYDRA thing seems to be making the young magician ''grow up'' quite quickly.

Canting her head at Fenris, Zee offers a small but interested smile "Primal Force…." She tries the name "I kinda like, Fenris… and we can try to convince Charlie that it fits, if the others agree." Pausing for a long moment, Zee murmurs "Primal Force… what do you think Jes, Kara?"

***

Jes doesn't seem to mind Zee petting her head. She smiles and then rises to sit on the bench next to Zee. "It's good. Maybe we could just..tell Charlie." Jes says hesitantly. She's a little afraid what the other girl would come up with. Just a little.

***

Fenris laughs. "I'll let you talk it out. Anything would be better than 'The Order of the Leymen' which is what it has been called in the past." He pauses. "It was a bit of a boys club back then. Different times. And this is the first time I've been involved in assembling the conclave, though I've advised and fought along side it before."

***

Kara smiles a little, telling the others what she told Fenris when he mentioned it earlier, "This is how I saw it. Fenris is a primal god. We're his force to help fix magic disruptions, so we're a PRIMAL FORCE!" Team Cheerleader.

Jes blinks a bit at Kara's enthusiasm. "Are she and Charlie related?" she whispers to Zee, with a puzzled expression.

***

"Well yes" Zee grins at Fenris "Anything is better than that" For so many reasons. Nodding over to Kara, Zee agrees "I really like it, Kara, it says an awful lot in just two words." Smiling as Jes takes the bench next to her, Zee shakes her head "Uhhh, no I don't think so… " but she can see why Jes may be confused.

***

The Old Wolf grins. "Well, now that you're all here and have met, a little practice would probably be in order." He's got kind of a look in his eyes. "Navigating the Ley Line Network is easy, so long as nothing is messing with it. Powerful magic leaves ripples. Dark magic, magic that damages our reality, leaves holes. They're easy to feel once you get a sense for what the network is supposed to feel like. Now unfortunately the ley lines don't run anywhere close to everywhere we could wish to go. But they're quite extensive and you can usually find one at least close to where you want to be. In addition, you'll find most major cities have at least one ley line running through them. Many have more than one. So, that said…" Now he's grinning.

"Who's been to Madrid?"

***

Kara has been fairly energetic since she almost died and lost her powers, enjoying being able to live life just like everyone else for once. The whole Ley Pendulum and Primal Force thing had pumped her into perky overdrive for the most part, excepting a tearful moment earlier, "No, I have like one relative in the entire universe who is alive." She was going to be on a team with Jesana and she was the epitome of trust, "So unless Charlie is Superman's secret identity…" That had to be an obvious, HEY I'm Supergirl.

Kara listened to the explanation like a good student before shaking her head, "I've never even heard of Madrid. I take it we're going there next?"

***

Jes nods a bit at Zee's answer. Kara and Charlie don't smell the same but she's seen stranger things lately. Much stranger. She listens to Fenris and then frowns. "I've been here. And the Res..the farm. Whereever it was they found me when I was a baby. Isn't Madrid in Spain?"

***

"Yes, I have!" Zee says brightly "My Dad took me there as part of his tour. Yes, it is Jes… in Spain." Tilting her head towards the Old Wolf, she grins "You proposing a training trip, Fenris?" Kara gets an understanding look, Zee will explain to Jes another time.

***

"It is. And it's our next stop, yes Zee." Fenris method of teleportation is a little different but he is capable of riding ley lines. It's just… not the most efficient magical way of getting around ever devised. It's still fairly close to instantaneous though, so it's fine. "You all had practice getting some short distance teleportation in when you came here. Let's see how you do riding the lines to somewhere further away. Don't worry, if you get lost I'll come get you." He grins. "Well, go on. I'll see you when you get there."

***

Jes hadn't meant for Kara to hear her whispered question and gives her an apologetic smile. She has been desperately working to remember and learn who all the new people she's met with Zee are. "I'll see you there then." She closes her eyes and concentrates. She's probably the last to arrive, if she even manages it. Jes never expected to be doing anything like this and it doesn't come naturally. She has no idea what Madrid looks like and hasn't had enough time to put togeather a mental image of the world with the lines over top of it. So instead she just focuses on her friend Zee and her need to her and hopes for the best.

***

Kara touched the sapphire pendant and focussed on it, she wasn't entirely sure how this next part worked but she knew it worked. She also managed to get lost along the way, arriving in the middle of Beijing.

An old chinese man approaches her holding a dead chicken, yelling in Chinese, "You buy! You buy now!"

***

Zee can totally teleport without the pendulum. She just has to have been there, at least once… you don't want to find yourself embedded in the side of a mountain or something right? The pendulum and leylines will be a good first intro. Jes and Kara blinking out so quickly, makes her smile and Zee focusses on her Emerald pendulum, visualising the leylines on the map back in Shadowcrest (remind her to share that with Jes, ok?)

In a matter of seconds, the young magician appears out of nowhere at the Plaza de Cibeles… taking a minute, Zee enjoys the view of the Goddess in the lion drawn chariot. Finally, looking around, she cants her head "Now, where are the other two…. Ah… there's Jes."

***

Jes gasps and shakes herself like a wet coyote. She looks around and sees Zee and then visibly relaxes. She frowns when she doesn't see Kara but becomes a bit distracted she takes in the view, her nostrils flaring at all the new scents. She absently fingers the hem of her shirt, the urge to shift and explore around the plaza rising. "Oh there you are! Good." Jes sighs in relief when Kara appears.

***

Fenris is going to be a little late. He can sense Zee and Jes in Madrid… but Kara seems to have… overshot. Which is not a bad thing entirely. She jumped, just slightly too far. He'll have to go get her and show her the way back. Which will also be a good lesson.

A Way opens near Kara and Fenris steps out and smiles at the chinese man. "Hello Honored Grandfather. Sorry, I need to take my friend with me." Fenris hasn't spoken chinese in about a thousand years so he uses all tongue instead.

Kara gets a bit of a grin. "Come on. You did well, just got turned around. Let me show you how to get back." Putting a hand on Kara's shoulder and moving slowly so she can feel what he's doing, he submerges them both into the Ley Line and takes her back to the others.

***

Kara is so glad when Fenris arrives, she had never been to china and she felt so sorry for the dead chicken. She blushes in emberassment when basically teacher had to come get her. She pays close attention to how they get to Madrid, replying, "Thanks, I tried, maybe just a bit too eager?"

***

Zee grins a little as Jes shakes her and speaks softly

~~ yrD 'seJ sehtolC dnA ydoB ~~

Jes will feel a slight puff of air buffeting her clothing and then, she'll be quite dry.

"Is that better, Jes" Zee smiles and then Fenris and Kara appear "Welcome to Madrid! Isn't it wonderful" Kara might be excited about travelling the leylines, Zee is more excited about being in a foreign country… go figure!

***

Smiling, Jes hugs Zee, gently pats Kara on the shoulder and stands on her toes to kiss Fenrir's cheek. The awe of being in a foreign country and doing magic, has clearly lightened her mood.

***

"Right, we don't we have a look around before we get some more practice in." Fenris grins again. "If you don't speak Spanish, stay close." He does naturally. Actual spanish, not All tongue. He did learn a few languages in his time on earth. Well, quite a few actually. "And then it's on to… mmm… Dubai, I should think…"
