Zatanna tried, rather unsuccessfully, to straighten her mussed hair, then gave up. "Yes. I'm sorry to just drop in like this, but this is the strongest center of magic in the current universe, so... I was just wondering if this was the home of the current Sorcerer Supreme, and if I could stay here for a little while. I've somehow gotten myself mistaken for the resident damsel in distress, and I really need to get a few hours of sleep. I would be happy to trade something for sanctuary..." she trailed off, looking hopeful.

"Mistaken? Sheesh, if I know Sivana, he'll do anything to make sure he catches you, and that Marvel comes for you, girlie. Anything to annoy Billy Batson," Mind intoned. "And hey, who knows..."

"Of course. Just wait one moment while I ask the madam." the old man said before closing the door.
A few moments passed, and the door opened again. Fully this time. The man carefully stepped to the side and motioned inside the room. The magic shop that was darkened and closed for the time being.
"Sorry about that. Normally the Missus wouldn't refuse a guest, but we've had some....very unwanted guests lately." he apologized.

"Crap..." Mind muttered. What if Sivana knew? What if Krieger was on his way?

Zatanna stepped inside at once, relaxing unconsciously when the door closed behind her. "I understand completely. I've never been able to make much of a Sanctum, but I've visited Doctor Fate's; they're definitely worth protecting."

Mind looked around at the place. "Nice..." he said to himself, before looking up at Zee.
"So... we're safe here, right? I don't want Krieger to attack me... or Black Adam... or King Kull... Or Blaze..."

The man smiled gently, locked up the door, then placed a few gems around the corners of it for the extra security Edel ordered. "I'm afraid...if anyone else manages to barge in on the Madam's home....she'll be sending them straight into a dwarf star. She is becoming very upset with the number of attacks on her home." he said. Once things were locked up agian, he turned and began leading them through the shop. "Madam has worked for years on this. The house at least. This is the first time she's had a chance to have part of a town to herself that's in such a populated area before. Though...she's never had so much trouble with guests before." he said, leading them into the hallway of the main house. "Now then, did I hear you needed some rest? There are plenty of spare bedrooms with showers on the upper floor. They're the smaller ones I'm afraid. The floor with the nicer rooms was damaged."

"I'm a tiny space worm, what do I care for room size?" Mind muttered. "Granted, crawling all the way to that apartment was... taxing. So I could do with a nap."

Zatanna relaxed almost completely, the relief on her face a palpable thing. "Anything you have available would be great. Thank you."

The man looked back at them and smiled. "Your quite welcome. Is rest all you need? I can have someone fix you a meal and refreshments if you need."

"You got any grass? Leaves? Stuff insects eat? I'm technically from Venus, but I can live off of what Earth insects eat." Mister Mind said, looking up at the attendant with his comically-large eyes.

"Of course." the man replied. "There's a fresh garden deeper into the home. I can have someone bring you a nice variety of native and exotic plants to choose from."

[Enter from Gotham]
Luke landed with Alex in his arms, reverted to his normal state, and somehow managed to knock on the door.

Alex had relaxed in his arms to try and lessen the pain her skin was going through. Her head leaning against his shoulder, and her arms resting gently across her stomach.
After a bit of fumbling behind the door, the last lock finally snapped to allow the door to crack open. An older woman peeked in from inside, glanced at Lucas, then at Alex, then shut the door. There was another clacking sound, and the door opened fully.
"Good heavens...what's happened here?" the servant asked.

"Ma'am, my partner here is hurt badly. Her mother, Miss Condulmer, should be able to help; and I also have obtained something she might really want to look at," Luke said to the servant.
