This Can't Be Real (A Superhero Story)

9

"Hey, where have you been?" Noah asked, pouring himself a glass of water in the kitchen as Kolton approached.

"Researching this," Kolton answered, placing the Rubik's cube on the island. "It's all legend and fairy tales- nothing definite."

"I'm not surprised. What did Sabrina say?"

"We're not speaking right now."

"What? You find it first and she got mad?" Noah laughed as Kolton shook his head. 

"I may have, sort of- it's a blur."

"You told her off out of frustration and then slammed her door in her own face?"

"How did you know?"

"We all heard that door slam," London explained, entering the kitchen with Aspen on their tail. "It shook the whole floor."

"So where is she now?" Aspen asked.

"She's still in there." Kolton replied sadly.

"Damn, she must be invisible then." Aspen shrugged as Kolton's head snapped towards her.

"She's not in there, we tried." London explained as Kolton gave a double take to Noah before getting up and running towards her room.

"Cool it, short stack! She probably just went in her dimension!" Aspen called out as Kolton was already down the back corridor.

"How long has it been since their fight?" Noah asked.

"It's...almost six now. At least seven hours, if not more." London answered, checking their phone as Kolton ran back into the room.

"How are you guys so calm right now?! My sister could be dead somewhere! Or kidnapped, or-"

London gave a slap to Kolton, attempting to wake him from his panic attack.

"WHAT THE HELL-"

"That is such a stupid trope. You don't wake someone from a panic attack by-"

"I know, but he deserved it for the argument with Sabrina. His panic attack is justified. I just didn't see a better time coming." London explained as Aspen laughed.

"Well, I don't see why she wouldn't just visit her dimension. My guess is she got tired of us butting in on getting her powers back and tried experimenting with it herself." Noah discussed, weighing the odds.

"We weren't exactly being productive." Aspen nodded.

"We reminded her of her childhood, at least. That seemed pro-"

"Swinging a baseball bat is not productive, it's entertaining." Aspen interrupted with a small yawn.

"How about I go looking for her? Our portals should be intertwined, so I'll have better luck getting a connection."

"What do you mean?" Kolton asked, confused.

"Since she cared for me, our dimensions should have cross wires. It's like how your parents could enter your dimensions, accept instead of being my mother, Sabrina was...a stand-in gardener. I don't know- it's worth a shot though, is it not?" London asked.

"Just find our sister, please." Kolton pleaded.

"If you need any help, send a distress." Noah continued.

"Of course." London replied before pulling the dimension card from their pocket. They flicked it into the air as it created a hole in the ground, similar to a deep cave or well. It had vines and flowers crawling out of it. London gave a small jump before falling in silently, letting the hole close behind them.
