"Thanos showed up. Used the Time Stone to try to trap us there. We had to use the other Time Stone to make a space to get out. Ended up destroying it, probably. Strange and Brightstar didn't make it—we don't know if they're dead or just trapped there, but I'm not going to risk going back until we find out where Thanos went. We need to get the two stones that we do have somewhere he won't find them."

(He is not going to process any of this until the battle is over, and it isn't yet over.)

Fëanor considers this a moment.

"We should go back to Valinor, I think," he says. "The defenses are obviously not strong enough to keep out Thanos with the Stones, but it has the advantage that I don't think Thanos knows it exists. We should also consider hiding the Stones in a different time, but we can consider that once we're in slightly less immediate danger."

Several of Leareth's Healers arrive at a run and start checking the two injured mages over. 

Vanyel's condition isn't too bad, actually. He has some nasty backlash, but nothing a day's rest won't fix, though it'll be a miserable day unless they can obtain him some Earth painkillers that are hopefully better than the Velgarth versions. 

Leareth is mostly stabilized thanks to Tony's suit, but they'll be lucky if he even regains consciousness today. He doesn't have anywhere close to Vanyel's strength of Gift, and he stayed longer and took the brunt of all the extra power dropped on him when Vanyel left. 

This didn't go as planned at ALL, but at least she only lost one of the Velgarth people. 

:All right: Nayoki says to Fëanor. :Are we all going there as well?: 

:- Savil. Someone needs to tell Savil: 

Nayoki starts to reach out with Thoughtsensing but doesn't get far. Savil heard the announcement too and is on her way. 

The next people to arrive are Bruce and the two Natashas.

"Nat—uh, past Nat, God this is going to be confusing—what did you do with the scepter and the Tesseract?"

"I put them in the vault in the basement."

"Good thinking, but we need to get them out of here. Thanos found us in 2012. I'm surprised he isn't here already."

It's probably the safest thing to evacuate completely, Fëanor tells Nayoki. Thanos may still come here, and be quite angry when he doesn't find what he was looking for.

Uh, we're going to have more than will fit on the ship, if we do that—is there anyone who could raise a Gate to Valinor without killing themselves at this point? With the Space Stone we can definitely cover the power requirement, but—it's still about 25 light-years, I don't know how Gate difficulty scales with distance.

Natasha runs to get the Stones from the vault.

Nayoki doesn't know either! Leareth could almost certainly figure it out, but, well. 

:- I am not sure. We do have another dozen Adept mages who travelled with Leareth. It is not impossible they could figure it out, in concert, but - it would take lead time. Hours if we are lucky, days if not. ...We could also evacuate the others to somewhere else on Earth. If Thanos cannot track them and would only know to look here: 

Alright. The ship seats twelve. We could take the full time travel team, plus Maitimo and myself—actually, considering casualties, we could take Calanáro and Eleniel home as well. The rest could go somewhere else on Earth, and we could come back for them, or raise the Gate from the other end, if we need to get them out. We definitely need to get the Stones off-world; I'm sure Thanos can track those in space, if not in time, especially given only a single planet of search space.

He turns to Tony. Do you know a safe place we can put the others?

"Uh, let's see...not Wakanda, that'll be the second place Thanos looks after here. Ask Cap or Nat, they were fugitives for a while—they had a disagreement with our government that technically hasn't ended—I'm sure they have some hideouts."

"Yeah, I know several places we can hide people."

:If you can share a memory of it with one of the mages, they can do a Gate directly there - I think it should be untraceable to your world's technology. ...If we have time in Valinor for Leareth to recover, I think he could figure out Gating with the Space Stone: 

Savil arrives at a jog, out of breath. 

"Vanyel!" She goes straight for her nephew, still in Thor's arms. "Van, ke'chara, are you all right?" 

"I've...been worse." 

Savil wraps her hand around Vanyel's, then turns to Nayoki. "What's the plan?" 

"We are going back to Valinor with the Stones - but only room for twelve -" 

She switches back to Mindspeech, addressing Fëanor and the others. :Is there space to bring Savil? I think she and Vanyel ought not be separated, right now: 

"Yeah, probably we don't need to bring everyone who went to New York for the second leg of the time-travel trip—" also, Savil will be part of the second leg, I believe we decided, he continues silently, directed at Nayoki, Van, and Savil.

"Anyone volunteer to stay behind?"

"I didn't really do much in New York, I doubt I'll be much more useful elsewhere."
