Victoria walked through the ruins of the world seeing what could come what might happen if things continued on their current path’s. Her eyes danced over the dead bodies that just lined the sides of the street and where strewn about. “So if we leave the world to its devices it will destroy itself.” she said and continued to walk. Braniac drones roamed the sky’s but ignored her at this point in time.
Stopping she saw a large tower or what was most likely a space station that had fallen. it was embedded halfway into the ground and still was towering into the sky. The structure looked like it had been a fortress at one point. She could read a single word on it the rest was to scored and damaged to read the only word was “Justice” sighing she walked past it and continued on her way.
“I cant warn them but I can push them in directions.” She could feel the debris crunching under her heeled boots. the smoke bellowed into the sky darkening the landscape light still came through with the sun but the clouds of smoke where so thick that only in the breaks and dispersion patterns is where the light slipped through.
“Total destruction. How could they let this happen?” She said and continued to walk the paths that had seemed to be cleared granted debris still feel into the paths and the only word that played in her head was apocalypse. Bowing her head she sighed. Slipping a hand into her pocket she gripped the pocket watched she carried with her, pressing a button on the side of the watch the air around her distorted and became ripply tell soon it popped in a quick spark of light that didn’t even last a second.
She hadn’t stopped walking. Victoria now as on a path she knew all to well it had doors to either side of her. All of them where numbered and the look reminded you of an office building though the path she walked on was obsidian in color, but her boots made no sound as she walked down the path.
She stopped at a set of doors that where different colors of wood. One was purple heart, another was cherry another was elder wood and another was yew. “Hmmm, which door I need to pick the right vital point in the times direction to make changes.” she stared at the doors and waited tell she saw the shade of one shift. Nodding with glee that the time line had given her a hint as to where to go.
“There we go” her hand reaching and opening the cherry door and stepping through. In a remote part of Metropolis ripples formed in the air and started to move quickly running up and down and side to side tell finally a quick spark of light formed and she was standing in the middle of a road. Stepping off the road and started to walk down the sidewalk.

-Cassandra continued her scouting on the edge and noticed a woman on a desolate road as her and the contractor passed it. She gave the woman an odd look but continued on her way around the city, though she didn’t get too far. She turned to the odd woman she noticed and yelled, “HEY! ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!” She was hoping the woman was just a drunk or someone lost on a way to a party. She hadn’t been there to see her basically step out of nowhere. Her hair was caught by a soft breeze, which also caught her dress a little bit.-

Victoria continued to walk down the broken sidewalk stepping over some of the debris and saw the woman walking towards her and smiled. She just walked by like it was nothing she knew her clothing must have put her very much out of place if she managed to land where she wanted to go. Feeling the wind blow by and she took in a breath as her skirts shifted some and her hair blew in the wind. Hearing the woman’s question she stopped and smiled. “I am wondering one thing. What is todays date?” she smiled and turned pulling her hand out of the pouch it had been in and closed it with a sigh. “Also can you tell me what city I am in?” she hadn’t gotten the thing working just right so she had some questions about where she ended up.
-
-Cassandra looked at the odd woman with a confused look. “Um… Today is the ninteenth and you’re in Metropolis.” She really didn’t understand why she needed to answer such questions then continued, “Do you need medical help?” She had no idea how to react to the passerby and really wanted to get back to the plans of the city. She waved for the Contractor to just continue to circle the circumferance she had previously explained.-

Victoria smiled and chuckled and placed her hand softly to her mouth. “I’m sorry and no I do not. I am quite well. Let my rephrase my previous question. What year is it?” she made her statement much more clear. Her hand still in her pocket twisting the dial on the top of her pocket watch and watched the woman as she spoke to the contractor. “I’m also looking for a young woman her name is… Muse I think Might you be able to assist me at all I truly am a little lost.” She grinned and slipped her hand into the pocket behind the pistol that hung on her hip by a pouch.
-
-Cassandra looked at the woman with an odd glance. She wanted the year? How stoned was this chick? Then the mention of Muse made her stop and think. She smiled a bit and said, “Oh! You are looking for Muse? What sort of affiliation do you have with that company before I tell you where it is.” She acted as if she didn’t want there to be a threat to the business that was helping her get back onto her feet. In actuality, she just wanted to know what she knew about them.-

Victoria smiled at the woman who seemed to be helpful and pulled her pocket watch out it seemed very out of place. It looked like an old time piece that had been modified with Victorian era technology. Checking it she quickly slipped it back into her pocket. “Well I don’t know much about her really aside from she is short and has a temper. Oh and runs this large corporation that well isn’t even really hers granted her names on it. Funny how that works.” She giggled and swayed her hips some her skirts swaying form side to side. “Not much more I can say aside from she’s going to do something catastrophic if I don’t get to speak with her. Its really important that I do speak with her is there any way you could assist with this I might even be able to help you out with your city here.”

-Cassandra listened to the stranger, a sudden gust blowing her hair a little bit. She thought about the possible reprocussions and said, “The airport just got itself up and running, I could get you a straight flight to her. I am afraid the Luthor jet is a little… not ready to be used yet. I could also pay for a private flight for you. Leaves when you want and will take you where you need to go.” She held the offer but knew for now, everyone was just cooperating with her until the city was safe. “You can return when you wish if you want to help,” She tagged on quickly. She should be focusing on what she was doing but anything to help the weird stranger for the moment, need to keep appearances.-
