Karen pouted, her anger diminished instantly as she watched Achilles walk away. Karen refused her tears from falling.
Instead she rested her head on the trunk of the elephant, letting her sooth her. whispering softly to her, she did not understand.
"Mysia, what the hell was that all about?" sad
Looking up at her, she fed her a single peanut.
"I'm sorry I called you fat..." sweatdrop

Jen looked dismayed into what was once the canteen and saw it had been closed for repairs. It wasn't as bad as the gym which was definitely looking like a ruin.
"I WANT FOOD!" She shouted.
Jen turned away and went to look for Blackhawks.

And as all else happens, there is a true display of camaraderie between the schools inflicted in the battle against Trigon. The attacks on their world, the threat against their children, the students ... and fighting at one anothers' sides. It would bring about a temporary truce, for the time being at least.
While the teachers gathered their respective school's students together, others met on the field where the main battle had been fought and discussions were underway on how best to undo the damage to the Hero High campus and surrounding areas.
Laurie Collins and Joshua Foley were making their rounds, treating the injured, adult and student alike.
This was perhaps the worst destruction the school had suffered in it's glorious history, but a simple call to Maddrox Construction would be the first step to recovery. Hr was the absolute best, and worked fast when all he need do was create as many 'dupes' as was needed for the particular job.
The scope however might be a bit beyond even him as Doreen Green was starting the monumental task of clean up, with some help from the mages from different schools.
MOTU's shop teacher, Duncan aka Man-At-Arms busied himself sending to Eternia for some inventions that would help rebuild the school, and the same school's student Kreann’ot n’Horosh aka Moss Boy was working with HH's Pamela Isley to repair the damage to the plants and trees on the grounds.
It would not be long....

Karen flew around looking for Cassie. Instead she found Powell with Wally. Since his door was open she barged right in with little to no concern of anyone else's conversations.
"Omg! Achilles has tottaly gone emo over Pat's disappearance. And, like, we need to help him. Right now. So how do we go about rescuing Pat."
She crossed her arms. Determined to get achillies back to normal.

*Chris's eyes narrowed. This was not a bro. Nor a dude. The boobs were the first clue. Damn that Karen Starr.*
Karen. The world does not revolve around your Achilles lust. We are busy trying to do something about...
*Can't tell anyone!*
...something very important! You can't just barge in here and boss us around.

"Of coarse I can! rolleyes Pfft!" She waved off the idea of not being able to tell people what to do, or worst, them not listening to her. "Hello Did ya hear what I just said? Achilles. Yknow. big hunky god with the giant elephant as a pet. Just lost the love of his life for like the 8th time, this year alone!"
She threw up her hands in frustration!
"What could be more important then your buddy Achilles?!" Then she realized who she was talking to. She looked from Wally to Powell and back again. Wally Former flame of Sandsmark... Powell, former flame, now current flame of Sandsmark.
stare "Oh... Wait... Nevermind." stare
"Hmf! This chick aint even in the room and still with the drama about her?! UGH!" Karen huffed throwing up her hands again and walking out of the room, talking about how no body cared about others anymore, and how they were being selfish.
"Fine! I'll take care of Achilles myself!" She shouted over her shoulder then stormed off once again.

Wally gave Karen a serious look.
"I'm sorry, Karen, but Chris and I were in the middle of-"
Quick, Wally! Think of something that the two of you would be doing, that wouldn't raise suspicions!
"Putting together our fantasy football league."
Awww, yeah. Kryptonite for the chicks.
"As I was saying, Chris, I'm sure you saw the same....forum posting I did about Dani, er Dante Culpepper being grabbed by this other group, and I think we can both agree that we really want Dante back."

"Grr... Football?" although she was a distance away, she could still hear them... What Jerks!! They were dicthing Achilles for Football??
The only reason she didn't clober them both into the earth was for the sake that Achilles would miss them as much as Pat. He needed his friends... But they were busy.
Shaking her head in disgust, she needed someone that would be more understanding to what Achilles was feeling. Her best friend, and former roomie, as well as love of Achilles. Jenny Walters!!
Best place to find her? The library of course!! Oorr what was left of it..

She's gone. So...Dani.
*Brilliant there, old bean. So eloquent. MAN UP AND TALK IT OUT BEFORE YOU GO ON A MISSION WITH HIM!*
Dude...uh...

Jen wandered out after having some nice eats. 'Darn does Zinda make some mean hamburgers.'
"Thanks, I'll be back again!" Jen said as she wandered out. She was amazed the place had survived undamaged. There was only a matter of clearing up some broken glass and rehanging the pictures on the wall, which had earned Jen an easy burger.
'What better way to finish the day by some quiet study and hopefully I can avoid any run ins with Powell.'
She got near the library and sighed at the damage. Maybe she could help out by lifting some of the rubble. It wouldn't take too long if she helped. She noticed Orco being restrained by another older teacher with a moustache.
"NO ORCO! We do not need your magic here." He said. "Leave it to the more qualified people to take over."

Wally gave Powell a flat stare. Behind him, one of Cassie's sweaters was laying on the floor. She had worn that one the night on the ridge when...
DUDE. NO. Wally shook his head. This had to be about Dani - a girl who'd never yanked his heart out of his chest and squished it like a cockroach. A girl who'd always been there for him when he needed her. A girl who needed him...no, needed THEM now.
Wally turned away from the sweater so his back was to Chris and held up the note and bracelet he'd received.
"I think we should go to the drop point indicated in the note and see if we can get the drop on whoever has Dani."
Then this would be over with and Wally could go back to scheduling dates.

*Chris sighed. So it was going to be like that. He supposed to he could stomp his feet and scream how Wally broke the bro code first by secretly spiriting Cassie off and kissing here...
But that wouldn't get them anywhere. And it certainly wouldn't help Dani.*
Fine. I can stay there invisible. When the kidnapper appears, I can decloak. You can be nearby watching and when you see me, your speed can you get you there in a blink of an eye.

It wasn't the most sophisticated plan, not by a long shot. In fact, if the two hadn't been exhausted by their interdimensional adventure and everything that had transpired over the last 24 hours, maybe they would have paused long enough to question the strangeness of the note.
But they were exhausted, they were on their last nerve, and neither of them was at the peak of their superheroic selves at the moment. Wally slipped Dani's bracelet onto his arm for safekeeping and stepped out of Chris's room.
"So. Cookies, Crafts, Crap & More." A yellow pages book appeared on Wally's hands. Looking it up manually was faster than any app on his phone. "Looks like it's in the abandoned warehouse district. Great. Why does Midvale even HAVE that?"

So we have a convenient place to look for the bad guys?
*Chris wrapped the towel completely around Dani's ring. He rifled through a closet and pulled out a large box.*
Here...we can set this outside so if the bad guys are watching, they will think we left a box of Hostess.

"AHOOOWWWWhahahahahoOW!" Bob cried out bloody murder, when Jackie went to break Bob's little pinky finger... Thing was...Jackie was about three feet to the left, and Bob was just one big cry baby. They haven't even started the torturer yet and Bob was in tears!!
"Look at this guy!"
"Hahaha! Can you believe this?"
"He's crying form the idea of being hurt."
Jackie glared at the three little Imps, He still wasn't happy no matter how entertaining this was to the others.
"I Still don't have my money Bob. And since you don't like getting physical, with anyone other then yourself, maybe you should tell me where it is!!"
"H-hhhere. I got this card... form the guy..." reaching into his jacket pocket he pulled out several cards that all flew on the ground. Most of them were doubles but there were still several, and he scrambled around on the floor to find the right one.
"I--It's here some wares.... I Just gotta...OH! Here!" He held up the single business card: Future Foundation, A children's Hospital. CEO: Stan Lee.
Jackie swung his fist back and let it connect with Bob's face.
"AHAHAHAHOOOWWW!!" Bob wails, covering his bloody nose with his hands.
"Stupid, $^#& Idiot! You gave My Money to a Hosptial!!" Jackie was ready to hit the man again when suddnely--!
"Stop Right There!!"
A Voice came from the shadows, Dani had hurried to where she heard screaming and forgotten she didn't have her Wicthblade to protect her.
"Or What?" Jackie asked with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth looking at the teen hero.
"You'll curl my hair?" All the minions around him laughed at his joke. Then he became more serious, pointing to Dani.
"Get her!"
Dani tried to run back out into the night, but that was pointless for someone who controlled the Darkness! Soon several hands and arms grabbed her and dragged her back into the darkness, a portal to another part of town.
"AH!! HELP! I'm being kidnapped!" Dani flailed about as she was being taken away! She didn't even feel her wallet fall out of her pocket, as she struggled.
Jackie calmly puffed the end of his cigarette, and tossed the but away, with the Hospital card of FF, and walked into the portal.
"I'll get my money back one way or another!" And soon all were gone.
