Welcome to Haven:

What: It's moving day for everyone.
Where: Haven MagLev Train/Haven Train Station and then Jerry's Info Booth for the Newbies.
When: 04/28 - Morning
Warnings: There will be swearing, probably mentions of violence. Will update as needed.

This FluxOver starts a lot differently than the others. For starters, everyone and we mean everyone is waking up on a train. No one's waking up in their homes. The first sound anyone hears isn't an alarm clock. It's the steady hum and squeal of the MagLev train just barely skimming it's rails as it makes a turn towards the Haven Train Station and then a deep, gravely, lightly accented male voice saying:

"Haven Train Station! Last stop! Everyone off!


And then the grinding of brakes as the train slows down to a bit of a harsh stop. With so many people stuffed into the train like sardines, it's probably hot and crowded, and everyone wants off. It's also very likely you're going to wake up leaning on someone. Do you know them? Are they a stranger? Let's hope you didn't drool while you were sleeping, or snore too loudly.

When the doors open, the heat probably gets a bit worse and the crowd is very eager to get off the train. Jostling and bumping, it seems as though no one cares who they smack into, they just want off. Since it's the last stop, it's probably best you depart, too. Should you choose to stick on the train, you'll find that while it does depart the Haven Train Station eventually, it just goes through a foggy area that seems to lead right back to the Haven Train Station. It'll keep doing so until you depart the train. Once the last person is off, the train will roll away and disappear in the distance.


For all the newcomers, you'll feel an impulse to go right to the very ramshackle-looking information booth, where a gentleman named Jerry has your information packet. For everyone else, your phones will start buzzing and a voice will start giving you directions, leading you back home and we're sorry to say it, but your homes have taken on the external appearance of everything else around them. Pieced together, rusty. Built more for survival and less for visual appeal.

Again; externally. Internally, you'll find that nothings changed and home is just as you remember it. And for anyone that got anything for FluxMas, you'll find your stuff waiting for you in the kitchen of your homes. Unless it's a vehicle. You'll find the keys to that in your pockets, shortly after stepping into your houses.

Settle in. Explore. Find your friends.

Welcome to Haven.

Helix back off a little, allowing him to gather himself without her assistance. She understands; she wouldn't take the help, either.

"What about when you're not sleeping in bed?" It begs the question, but maybe it's just her who can fall asleep anywhere.

"Depends on how fun the night before was." Bruce gives her a sly smile. Though, inside, he cringes just a little at himself. After twenty years this persona drags on him at times. "Though... most my partying days are over."

"Yeah, that can get old." Not that she knows. She doesn't party. Ever.

She turns toward the door and then back at him. "We should probably get off. I'm not sure I want to know where the next stop is."

"More like I got old." That smile turns into something a bit darker. More because he's rolling the route of self-deprecating humor more than anything.

His eyes glance out at the windows in the train and he nods. That's the best idea. Who knows where the rest of the people who flux in and out with them are.

She smiles a little at that. "It happens." Okay, he's a complicated guy. But that's not a terrible thing.

"Okay, follow me. I can protect you if a fight breaks out or anything."

"Well, I definitely won't say no to the help."

Bruce follows after her as the train comes to a stop. He stays close to her, eying those that might come too close to comfort for the pair of them. He wouldn't want to ruin that image of playboy Bruce Wayne, but, it won't hurt to show his own skills if needed.

Helix has no idea who Bruce Wayne is, so he won't be ruining anything with her. She follows the crows out into the desert carefully, keeping an eye on him as she does. There doesn't seem to be any immediate cause for alarm, but who knows what might happen.

"I think we're good. Do you know where you're headed?"

"I just woke up on this train. I don't even know what Haven might be just yet. Other than the name of where we are."

Bruce can't say he's thrilled with the notion. While there was a suspicion they might be changing soon - given they had finished the crisis with the Unseen. Still, he was used to arriving at the information box, not a train.
