In seconds after the call is finished a man in a red shirt, blue pants, and a metal helmet with wings arrives in a blur into the room.
"Howdy girls. I'm The Flash, I take it you two are the offworlders I was supposed to bring home?"

Byleth
"W... W-Woah. That... was fast", the greenette let out in amazement. "...U-Um... yes? I think I may be able to bring us back to our worlds with my own power, but I wasn't sure if we had to, nor did I actually ever try, so I'm not sure", she explained.
"...I'm Byleth, and this is Velvet. We... come from different worlds, but I intend to visit her world so I can lend a hand with their ongoing conflicts."

"Okay. I'll take you back to The Justice Society Mansion." He said.
There's a slightly disorienting blur as first you, and then Velvet arrive at the grounds of a massive mansion.
You watch as two people in nearby are sparring on the lawn.
One is a man in a black and yellow hooded costume with some weird device on his wrist.
The other is a young woman around your age with blonde hair in a side ponytail wearing a pink T-shirt, and shorts.
She does her best to hold the hooded man off with a series of kicks, but he manages to grab her leg and execute a takedown on her. "Good job Lucy. We might have you on old Lena's level yet." He said helping her up.
"Thanks Hourman. I'm grateful for the extra training." She said before waving at Flash. "Hey Mr. Garrick. Who're the new girls?"
"Just another couple offworlders. Byleth, Velvet, meet Hourman, and Lucy Heartfilia, their father, and grandmother respectively were part of the society back in the day."

Byleth
"It is an honor to meet you all", Byleth said, bowing lightly yet politely. "...Um, first question. What is the Justice Society?"

"A team of people with soecial abilities or suoerhuman powers." Lucy said. "The first one in fact."

Byleth
"Ah, I see. I take it one of you will send us back, then?" she asked, curious.

They look at you like you grew a second head.
"I suppose a few of us can do that, but are you sure that's what you want?" Jay asked.

Byleth
Byleth paused, seemingly a little surprised and confused by their reaction. "...I, um... I don't... know. Shouldn't I?" she asked, wondering why everyone seemed to think it a given that wanting to head back to one's native universe was such a strange concept.

"Well you can always stick around, and enjoy this world for a bit while you can." Jay said. "Alan, or Jakeem can always send you back later."

Byleth
"I... suppose we could. I know nothing urgent awaits me back in my own world", Byleth admitted. "...What about you?" she asked her companion.

Velvet stammered. "I don't have a lot waiting for me back home either. My teammates and family are likely dead by now."

Byleth
"Is... is that so?" Byleth asked, visibly troubled. She put a hand on the girl's shoulder compassionately. "...I'm... sorry to hear that, but... you said 'likely'. I... cannot bring the dead back to life as it stands, but... I could verify that for you later, if you want. Perhaps... knowing for sure could either help you to deal... or possibly even surprise you with better news?" she suggested.

Velvet nodded. "I would like that a lot." She said.

Byleth
"Very well", Byleth said, nodding. "...When we have a moment alone later, I will use my abilities to find out the truth about their fate. Please don't lose hope until we know for sure."
The greenette then turned to Jay. "...Very well... looks like we will be staying for at least a while after all. Thanks. Where should we stay, and is there anything we need to know?"

"There will be plenty of time for that. Just sit down, and we can-" Jay begins only for a series of missiles to hit the mansion and blow up only being narrowly deflected by a green energy barrier.
