Where am I? Who took me and why? (Mowgli, Open)

[Deleted]

(June 2, morning)

Shanti looked around herself lost in thoughts. She wondered where she was and how she got there. Shanti was scared that she might never see those she cares for again. She tried not to think of that as she looked around herself. Shanti then began to walk, even if she had no idea where she was going. She just picked a random direction and headed there. Also, Shanti almost went around in circles until she got somewhere or at least it seemed so, as she looked at the place closely. She looked around and back over as she sighed to that lost in thoughts. "Hello? Is anyone here?" Shanti called out rather confused, as she waited for a reply. The longer that passed the more she knew it was real. However, Shanti wanted to know more.

[Penny]

Penny looked up hearing a voice as she ran up seeing the girl.

"Hello. Have you come to join us? I'm Penny." said Penny.

Pinocchio walked out next. The living puppet was looking for something fun to do when he heard Penny and spotted a new girl.

"Hi. I'm Pinocchio. My parents are two of the leaders of this army. You're welcome to join. You don't even have to fight if you don't want to." said Pinocchio.

[Logan Sanders]

Mowgli and Logan were not long after the children. Logan was assigned babysitting duty overall of the children, much to logan's dismay since he found himself quite awkward around most children. With the except of smith's son cody, he felt out of place. He then noticed mowgli get super excited and hug the girl. He couldn't help but smile, knowing for sure the two knew each other. He then smiled and waved as shanti was introduced "Pleasure to meet you shanti. You might want to come in. It's not safe for you to be outside alone here"

Mowgli went downstairs and was a bit surprised because he swore he heard Shanti's voice. He raced down and replied "Shanti? Is that really you?" He then rubbed his eyes and saw she was still there. Joy went across him and he couldn't believe it. His best friend... Or at least his best human friend. She was here. He raced and grabbed her for a hug "Shanti! I can't believe it it's really you! You have no idea how happy I am to see you!" He then pulled her close and replied to the others "Penny, Pinnochio, Mr. Logan. This is shanti! This is my best friend!"

Shanti looked over and saw the puppy as soon as she looked to the ground. She listened to her as she shrugged to that. Shanti had no idea what to say to her, especially since she had no idea where she was or what the puppy meant about that. It was too strange for her to say the truth. There was no doubt about that. Shanti tried to understand but she only got more and more confused by a minute.

"Don't know. I don't even know where am I or how I got it! So I don't know if I am joining or what. Not yet at least! Can you tell me where am I? Are you from here or new too? As I am not sure where am I or how I get there just that I just got here. Wherever here is, that is! What's going on here?"

She said as she then noticed Pinocchio and watched him closely, with curiousity as she truly was curious about him. Very curious about him. Shanti listened to him as she watched him as she listened to him speak. She looked between the two and sighed, as she continued to listen with curiously to what Pinocchio was saying.

"I see. What are you? I don't know where I am so I don't know nothing about joining? Good that no need fighting but if I join then what to I join? What do I accept that way? Is it not dangerous to accept something without knowing what you accept? And what would it mean to you when you actually accept whatever it is that you accept?"

She said as she turned when two others joined as she froze and smiled excited as she saw Mowgli. Shanti didn't expect to see him but she didn't complain either. She was shocked but definitely happy to see him. Seeing Mowgli was a huge surprise, but good one just the same. At least it was that way to Shanti. She listened to him speak as she smiled to him. Shanti was glad that he was there, as it made things different. At least it made things different and better for her.

"Mowgli? That's you? You are here? And yes, it's me, Mowgli. I am here and it's so good to see you! I thought I will never see you again. It's great to know that I am not alone here! Since we both are here I am clearly not alone, which is great,"

Shanti run over to him same time he run to her. She then hugged him back. Shanti was super happy to see him again and couldn't believe it but was glad that it was the truth so. That was for sure. That was amazing. At least it was to Shanti, that was for sure. She listened to him speak again with a sweet smile on her face.

"I am here, as are and I am glad that we are both here. I truly am glad about that! I feel the same way about you being here. I feared that I was here alone but not anymore! As we are here together, that's great. But where are we and how did we get here? And what do we do here? What is there to do here? Do we just stay here or what? I am so confused but at least we have each other, that makes things way better. I am happy to see too, like you won't believe! I can't live when you aren't there. Is it crazy?"

Shanti him pull her close as she looked at all as he introduced her. She nodded to her as she watched them. Shanti then glanced to Mowgli once more. She kissed Mowgli's cheek with a smile on his face as she watched him. Shanti then looked around with a smile.

She turn glanced at Logan as she waved back and nodded kindly to him. Since he seemed like Mowgli's friend, she figured that he definitely could be hers too. If he wanted, as Shanti was nice, and loved making friends, if she could.

"Well, lead the way and I will follow. As for me and Mowgli, well we know each other for a long time! I don't even remember for how long anymore, but we are really close,"

[Mowgli Black]

Mowgli was super excited. He could not believe it. Shanti. She was here. Really and truly here. Joy spread across his body and he smiled as she talked to him. He never thought he'd miss her as much as she did. He then was shocked as she kissed him on the cheek. Not that he disliked it. Far from it. It just surprised him, he beamed a bit blushing. Bravely, he decided to hold her hand then and replied to her "You're definitely not alone at all shanti. It's safe here. We don't have to fight like pinnochio said. As for where we are, we're in a new place called chicago. It's a big city and it's kind of weird without much straw houses but that's alright I think" He then lead her inside with the others. Mowgli then chuckled a bit as shanti said they've been friends for a long time now "Yeah it's been a while. Like a long while. But hey shanti you'll really like the people here trust me"

He then widened his eyes before looking down flattered as shanti's confession. He replied nervously "No. No it's not crazy at all. Cause it felt awful not having you here"

Logan explained to shanti about pinnochio's situation "Pinnochio has a mother and father of high power. And he is a young boy that is heir to their army. I believe that is what he means. And you are safe here. You are protected by them. You are not being forced to do anything against your will Miss Shanti. If anything you are in sanctuary for a lack of a better phrase" Logan then guided the two children in and then nodded as shanti explained and questioned what was going on. Mowgli did help explain a tad but as a adult logan felt more needed to be explained. He replied gently "Well you have been put in a alternate timeline, in this area. And there are people trying to fix this error and send you back home"

[Penny]

Pinocchio grinned seeing his brother reunite with the girl.

"I'm glad you have your friend here." said Pinocchio.

He paused looking down. He didn't get spend much time with some his brothers. Jim spent most of his time with John Silver or Black Lantern Spoony lately. Mano was hanging out with Judas Liz. The one seemed to spend the most time with was Ronno and now he feared Mowgli would practically disappear like the others. He sighed hoping one day he could hang out with just his brothers someday but for now, he'd keep quiet not wanting to upset anyone.

"This is good news." said Pinocchio, forcing a smile.

Penny smiled.

"Hi Shanti. Welcome." said Penny.

She watched them catch up and saw Pinocchio look sad for a moment before trying to smile. She felt bad for him but was n't sure why he'd been sad. She decided not to say anything not wanting to make anything worse. She smiled looking up at Logan.

"Hello. You're Logan, right? Pleased to meet you." said Penny.

She nodded.

"It can seem confusing but basically most of us were pulled to another Earth from our homes. So now we're stuck here until this war ends." said Penny.
