"I could follow," he said softly, sounding like taking orders from someone else would be a relief. He tugged the robe around his body a little tighter, which helped Tessa's concentration a bit more. But not completely; he'd have to be in a full robe and hajib for that to happen.

"I can't fly," Tessaract pointed out. "If you have no more need of me, I will meet you at the headquarters. I can let them know you're coming, and ask them to make preparations for him."

Tessaract did as she proposed, and the others took to the air to get back the headquarters. Thirty-one was silent, his eyes on the city as he flew back.
By the time they were there, Chad had arranged for breakfast and loaner sweats for Thirty-one. His old job working for the LA super heroes had steeled him for such occurences and there wasn't even surprise in his eyes. There was sarcasm. "Perhaps our guest would care to have pants? From the way that robe flaps around, I think someone failed his kilt-wearing class."

Tessaract appears abruptly, holding several pairs of pants and a selection of pullover shirts. She drops them unceremoniously in Thirty-One's lap, gives the others present a nod of acknowledgement, then vanishes again.
A moment later she says over the intercom, "Please tell me when he's dressed."

Thirty-one looked confused by Vixen and Dwarfstar's questions, but whatever he was going to say was cut off by Tessa succinct delivery of clothes. "I..." Slowly he stood, and after studying others' clothing, he managed to get the clothes on, though he had the pants backwards. As he sat down, all those oriented toward men in the room had to admit that he made the mundane clothing look sexy.
He ate a spoonful of cereal, his eyes widening at the sweet taste. Without further hesitation, he started to shovel the food into his mouth, speaking between bites. "The Others, from their Storm Palace, they have kept me there. They have others like me, the hybrids. I couldn't get them out." His eyes were sad and he stopped eating for a moment. "Just me."

"The Others. And you." He looked glanced at everyone but Vixen. "The Others would bring in humans, and would create us from them. I'm not sure how, because the equipment is all in other rooms, but I've heard them talking, and I saw them bringing in babies. I was told I was brought into the holding room like that once, by Four."

Tesseract soundlessly appears again and primly takes a seat. She watches the other team members, only looking at their guest out of the corners of her eyes.

"It was... in the city," Thirty-one said. His impressive eyes had turned away from them, and he had the feeling he was seeing the place he'd come from again. "There's... water, all around. We were in the lab, and there's no windows. But I got into the hall, and saw the sun and the sea, and I fled.
"I'm not a clone," he added. "I'm an artificially created hybrid."

"What were you hybridized with?" Tessaract asks. "Human, at least partially, but what else?"
She considers, still without looking at him, then adds, "And can you show us the location of the place you escaped from on a map?"

Chad brings Vixen several atlases. The problem with most of them is that anything east of the Bahamas within the Bermuda Triangle is a bit iffy. Weather gets really bad out there, erratically; the Bahamas are safe, usually, but much past those islands, things can become dangerous.
After conferring with Thirty-One, he identified Abaco Island as one he passed over on his way there. By all appearances, Thirty-One came from within the No-Man's Land of the Triangle.

"Back to Them?" he asked nervously. "No, I don't ever want to go back. I barely got out once. I don't know if I'd make it out again." He paused. "Though... I'd like to get Eight out. She was... nice."

"Whatever's happening out there, it seems to be creating beings with abilities violating dimensional limits," Tesseract notes. "I am obliged to investigate."
She looks at each other person, avoiding only their guest's face.
"I can accept a short delay if you wish to join me and need time to prepare."

Tesseract looks from the beautiful stranger to Dwarfstar, appearing momentarily startled.
"I can take us all directly there at any time," she replies. "As soon as I know who's going, and they let me know they're ready I will do so."

"Before bringing a lot of equipment," Tesseract adds, "Remember I can easily return here and go back to the island, should we need anything."

"Correct," Chad said, "but it's the fu-rackin' Bahamas - who is going to tell you to stop? They don't have defenders, and if you're apprending criminals, I don't see them caring."
"You can't," Thirty-One rasped. He looked pale, almost sick. "You can't just walk in there. I almost didn't get out."

"Very well," Tessaract said calmly. "Relocating in three...two...one..."
The room convulsed around the team and vanished, leaving them adrift in inky darkness. Tessaract wasn't there. A moment later the darkness melted away and there was a sensation like a shove from all directions at once.
And then sunlight. Blindingly bright off of white sand that everyone dropped a couple of inches onto.
Tess looked around, squinting disapprovingly against the sudden light.
"The map was inaccurate. I was aiming farther inland. I do think I have the right island."

They were looking into the early-morning sun, while the water stretched north and south. The sand was warm, the beach was blue - and in front of them, below the rising sun, the ever-present storm that was the Bermuda Triangle.

Vixen had never been this close to one of the Bermuda Storms, not since gaining her 'magic' sniffer. And as she sniffed, she expected to smell rain, wind, seawater and ozone.
What she smelled was all that and the bitter tang of magic. But this wasn't like what she normally smelled. It was twisted somehow, tainted. Wrong.

Tessaract gives Vixen a curious look, then inhales through her nose.
"I don't smell anything unusual. I could transport us into the storm, but without anything to stand on I would fall into the water on arriving. If one of you were to carry me while flying, or arrange for a boat, that would correct that problem."

Tessaract stared for a moment, then produced from her pocket something that looked a little like a conch seashell made of flat, dull black plastic or metal or something. It seemed...off, somehow. Its dimensions and proportions changed subtly as she moved in her hands, and some of the things she seemed to touch weren't actually in it, or on it...some were inside it, or around it.
She looked at Vixen again after studying the thing intently, then nodded and put the strange doohickey away before stepping onto the boat.
"Thank you. Are the rest of you coming?"
