The entrance to Lemuria was through a dirty toilet.

Aaliyah sighed for perhaps the fifth time that minute in exhaustion. She'd explained how this worked seventeen times, yet none of them were willing to go in. "The water pipe here is extremely old! It connects to an ancient underground lake which can be used as a portal." She repeated numbly. Once again there was no noise, except for the flushing sound from another stall. A man stepped out, confusion was written all over his face as he glanced at the other stall, where the remaining avengers were staring at the toilet Aaliyah was sitting on. He didn't even bother washing his hands, he bolted straight out of the bathroom.

"Wash your hands please," Strange bellowed on the top of his lungs, the man doubled his speed. Peter Parker shrugged, "People in LA are so rude."

Aaliyah lost her last nerve, stood up, and placed her hand on the wall. Her fingertips brushed against each tile and her forehead creased with concentration finally paused at a marbled tile and pressured it slightly. Aaliyah glanced at the rest of the avengers, "I suggest you hold your breath and hope you don't inhale anything."

"I'm sorry, what?" said Rocket The Raccoon. And then, the pipes around them exploded in sync, and started filling up the room with murky water. Peter Parker froze at the sight of the dirty water, "I do not want to know what's in that."

"You really don't," Aaliyah's voice responded, it was somewhat muffled. Looking at her, they'd realized that she'd placed a bubble around herself so that she was simply floating in the water dry and clean. Wanda quickly mimicked her idea, and so did Strange. "That's not fair," Sam Wilson grunted, lifting his brand new boots repeatedly in a failing attempt to keep them clean. Peter use his micro-spider suit, Sam cast a spiteful glare at him. 

Soon the everyone was treading to keep up with the water, Peter using a self-floating system and some of them just sitting at the bottom since the magic bubbles protected them. Clint Barton was trying desperately not to get anything in his mouth while Rocket looked like a very wet dog. Suddenly the dirtiest toilet of all began swirling, and sucking in disgusting liquid that had filled the room. Aaliyah sighed, "Finally."

They were being sucked in rapidly, their screams came out muffled as the toilet pipes threw them into a crystal blue lake. It was located in a dark cavern, not a plant in sight and occasionally a pair of amber eyes looked at them from one of the surrounding caves. "Welcome," Aaliyah's voice bounced off the obsidian walls. She stood at the shore, crisscrossed and smiling.

Rocket came up, sputtering with rage, "I got some in my mouth!"

Sam winced as Clint emerged next to him in the lake, "You stink."

"So do you," Clint spat, Wanda waddled towards the shore, thankful that nothing got in her mouth.

"Guys?" Peter Parker's uncertain voice called out, Strange was slightly grumpy because he'd in the spur of the moment, he'd left his locket behind. It was a gift from someone, and here was this teenager determined on being annoying, "What?" 

"Look down." Peter's voice grew meeker at his rage, suddenly eyes of all colors glanced at their feet.  They were standing on water. And underneath was a sight  to behold, a sunken city.

"Maybe you should get off the water," Aaliyah called out, worry lacing her words. Strange was too shaken to speak, his gaze glued onto underwater paradise. Ancient crumbling buildings scattered across, statues covered in mold and parts chipped away by the water. Skyscrapers demolished compared to their once glory. The largest form laid off to the right, it was lumpy and shapeless. He saw the grandest building off all in the center, but a wing of it was completely destroyed, a frown tugged at his lips as he wondered what could have wrecked such a large and magnificent creation.

Then he saw it.

The Large Lump Opened it's beady amber eyes, and glared up at the avengers. A chill ran down Thor's spine, it rose to it's webbed feet and they got a good look at it. A Spiked Tail, large rows of teeth shining from it's mouth. It opened it's mouth and let out a earth shattering roar. It began circling under them, Sam gathered his remaining courage, "Ha! It can't get us."

Then they all promptly fell under the crystal blue waves, right into the domain of the hungry beast.

Oop...
