“Honestly? No. Not really. This town is starting to freak me out more than Riverdale was.” Cheryl admitted.

          ‘   your whole life ?? — and you’ve been okay with staying here… like a sitting duck ??   ’

Cheryl knew she was losing her mind the moment she started seeing and hearing Jason talk to her. She wasn’t sure if it had something to do with this town or if it was a coping method that she had developed. So here she was, on a park bench, talking to her dead twin brother about the day and everything they used to talk about. When she noticed someone staring at her, she sighed. “Oh..I am on the phone.” She lied, pointing to the blue tooth in her ear.  

          ‘   it’s fine,   ’   she sighed, her head lowering.   ‘   i’m not expecting a surefire answer, anyways. it’s hard to explain unless everyone’s aware that there’s a  problem  with the city.   ’

“are you sure you are?  i could always come back a different time,” he offers, minor frustration bleeding into his tone.

Callie ran a hand through her hair, and set her bag on the table. She pulled out her phone and tried to call Jude, but once again it went to voicemail. “C’mon Jude, pick up.” She groaned not realizing someone was now standing in front of her.

          a non-committal shrug was given in response.   ‘   — haven’t really met anyone with the kind of abilities needed to  escape .  i’ll let ya in on a little secret,  chica — i’ve got a pretty special power that lets me traverse the multiverse. any dimension i want. emphasis on  want  ‘cause there are plenty of shitty realities out there.    ’   if david were here, she could probably add  “  time travel  ”  to the list… even  that  was experimental at best.   ‘   but what i need is someone who can  augment  the spatial and temporal bounds of this reality… wouldn’t happen to know anyone with that ability, would you ??   ’   and while america could think of someone she knew, it was unlikely he was going to be able to help.

“Hopefully the heat will calm soon”

rosa smiled and nodded. “great. thank you again,” she said genuinely.

“There will always be one thing I am thankful for and that is the pool, this is the coolest I’ve felt in days”

rosa smiled and nodded. “great. thank you again,” she said genuinely.

          ‘   — too many things to count.   ’   she sighed, used to having no one else to turn to and ask for guidance, rubbing at the star on her left wrist. that had been her  first  attempt — the power to create portals to other dimensions proved  useful  her entire life. yet the moment she got here, kicking the projected, glowing star did nothing except shatter  uselessly  on the ground.   ‘   i tried to up and leave a few weeks ago. it was good for maybe two weeks, before i found myself back here.   ’

rosa smiled brightly and nodded before grabbing a pet taxi and her puppies’ leashes. “i think i’ll have to come back up for the others,” she commented, heading towards the door. there was only so much she could take at once.”

rosa flitted around the room, tossing anything else she could find in the suitcase. the furniture had already been there so she just had the few belongings she’d acquired since being there. rosa nodded before looking under the bed and in the bathroom. “okay i think i’m good.”

“Yes! That’s what the entire town called me. I was the King of Halloween. I could scare anyone.”

rosa pulled out the small suitcase from under her bed and started putting the clothes she’d already folded inside. “definitely not long,” she chuckled.
