One instant, she was about to speak to two mutants that were beside a machiene that looked semi-familiar and the next instant, she found herself being sucked through some kind of strange space and popped into this place.... Wherever it was. Tabitha just stood there for a moment, fiddling with some of the earrings on her right ear as she tried to recover from the shift in time and space. The air around her was still rippling for a second or two before she was fully out of the teleportation.
She froze for a moment before slowly turning around to look at the scene around her. Trees... There were actually real, live, organic trees. There was also the lack of the sterilized smell that lingered in the city she came from. The smell of nature... she wasn't used to it and it caused her to frown a little.
The frown vanished and turned to shock as she realized that she was beside a road. It wasn't a normal every-day road though. No, it was..... Asphalt!! And... and she was standing on what looked like the remains of a cement sidewalk. <Oh no no no... oh Hell no!> She thought. <This can't be right.... this really can't be right.>
There came a soft whooshing sound and she turned her head to see a couple of cars coming then as the passed, she turned even paler than her already startling pale. The cars were blocky and they.... had.... wheels!"AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!! I've died and gone to prehistoric HELL!!!!" She screamed in horror. Quickly she brought her hand down from where it had been toying with her earrings and brought her opposite wrist into sight before tapping rapidly at the communication band that she wore around her wrist.
"Come on come on come on... work work work!" She urged it as she tried to get it to pick up a signal. "Come ooonnnnn anybody! At least link yourself onto the communication error satalite!" She demanded. Upon getting no signal, she gave a look that was like one who had seen the end of the world then gave a yell of frustration.
Just as she was about to try the communication band again, her eyes widened and she jerkked her head to the side, turning it in time to see a black van with dark tinted windows. There was somethign different abotu it than the other cars that had passed by.... even if it had wheels too.... A flicker of coding went across her eyes as she partially plugged herself into the system that it had.... Soemthing else that the other cars hand't been equipped with! Technology! It was at least more advanced! That had been what had caught her attention. What had attracted her to it.
The next instant had her seeing in codes, her grabbing up the coordinates of it's destination before unplugging herself and blinking a couple of times as nature hit her in the face again. <Seven miles of travel!?!?> She coudl already tell she might die from walking that long of a distance in one go. "Well, it'll be worth it... Who knows, they might be more up to date that that car was!" She exclaimed, trying to hype herself up.
Within the first mile, she was already huffing and puffing, her lungs unused to the non-sterilized air and her skin was reddening from the sun beaming on it, her being unused to being outdoors... nevermind exposed to direct sunlight for this long of a time. Oh yes, she was definately going to have a sunburn at the end of this. With an annoyed groan, she sat down on the grass and fiddled with her boots a little until six sets of tiny metal pipes came out, stiking out about a quarter of an inch. Then, standing, she tapped a couple of times on the communication band and a hissing could be heard as she was lifted up an inch and a half above the pavement as the different piping pulled in air through the front of the soles and shot it out the bottom of them at the amount of speed to cause enough pressure to lift her up.
Having used this device many times, she already had the adjustments made to keep her from falling off balance although she still had to keep her body in a surfing position so not to chance falling over and having a messy accident happen. "I love you boots." She sighed out in appreciation before setting in the commands through her communication band to let her have manual control instead of it just taking her to the usual coordinates she had set in. She had no clue where those coordinates would take her here.
With that settled, she went on her way again, this time not having to do all that leg-movement as walking and the speed of her travel being faster to about ten miles an hour... If she were to go too fast, the wind would topple her over.
