"Hey E." Jersey sighed, glancing down at the Carrier still holding her middle. But when the carrier, when the ghost didn't even budge in the slightest to her prodding, she only chuckled somewhat as she began to work on pulling her off. But the Yorktown class's arms didn't want to come free, they didn't want to unlodge themselves from holding to the woman.

Lest it all be a dream. Jersey offered a quiet chuckle at that as she waited a moment longer, almost looking to the Captain for help. But in the end, Jersey simply relented, instead electing to merely rest her hands on E's shoulder, waiting for her to decide when she was done.

While that was going on, Anya was still holding firm to the destroyer. Her destroyer. It wasn't a chance that the woman ever thought she'd get, given the fact that almost every ship girl thus far had been dating back to World War 2 and prior. Yet here she was, holding the incarnation of John Finn. Her breathing settled somewhat as the destroyer continued to cling to her middle. As she did so, she noted that the destroyer was holding something. Furrowing her brow a moment, she eventually patted Johnny on the head.

"John?" Anya asked, glancing down at the destroyer. It took a moment, but the destroyer eventually gazed back up at the blonde a moment later, her green eyes meeting Anya's. When she finally did so, Anya glanced at the destroyer's hand. "What have you got there exactly?" She asked. John Finn blinked once for a moment before bringing up her hand and putting the cover she held in her grasp on her head. It was clearly oversized for the destroyer, and it almost sank half way onto her head, but the destroyer adjusted it a moment before looking up at Anya. And giving a wide grin.

"It's a cover!" The destroyer said proudly, even while the cover began to once more sink down around her head. Anya offered a slight laugh at the sight, reaching up to adjust it for the destroyer.

"I know it's a cover. But where did you get it?" She asked.

"Momi gave it to me." The destroyer replied. And Anya almost froze as her fingers adjusted the cover for the girl. Though at hearing that, Maryland, Yorktown, And Hornet descended upon the two, already watching the destroyer curiously. After a moment, looking at the cover a moment, Maryland nodded.

"Yeah, that's Momi's Alright." Maryland Answered as she looked to the destroyer. "I guess that means Momi thought you were pretty special if she handed you her cover like that." The battleship offered. John only offered a quaint smile up at the woman in return as she put a hand on the cover, still clinging to Anya somewhat. After a moment, Anya nodded as she patted John on the back somewhat before looking to Sofia.

"Now's probably a good time to head back to the HQ." She offered. Sofia nodded at that as Wisconsin chuckled.

"Totally would if E could learn how to let go of Jersey." She said for an explanation as she gestured broadly in the direction of the two, Where Jersey simply offered a slight chuckle and a small smile. And true to the battleship's word, E still hadn't moved from her spot hugging the woman. And at that, something occurred to Anya.

"That actually works for a moment. How much do you all know about what's going on in current day?" She asked, glancing around. "You know Jersey and Johnny needed an escort, but other than that?" She asked. Newport shrugged somewhat at that, putting a hand on her hip as she leaned to one side.

"We know that we were called for Escort duty and that J and J here needed an escort over. So that implies something strong enough to challenge J like they did, not to even mention that we're now all human." She said, gesturing to herself and then to the others. "I'm not about to ask Jersey or Johnny to relive their experience either." She reasoned, looking to the battleship in question for a moment before looking to Anya. "So I guess that leaves it up to you." She reasoned.
