Ava and Gary were still getting their heads around following Sherlock and Watson back into town. Sherlock had remained silent since they arrived. Watson on the other hand had been overly chatty. Gary was still doubting whether this was all a dream but Ava had mostly blanked him out so she could focus on making it home.
"Penny for your thoughts?" Watson asked, suddenly appearing next to her.
"Sorry. Just getting used to everything. Like you said, we're not from around here." Ava shrugged.
"You're both a long way from home. What are you doing here?"
"Just seeing the sights." Ava tried to get away from that subject.
Watson made a confused face but took this answer. He then looked over at Sherlock who seemed to be walking a lot quicker than them. Typical Sherlock!
"Is your companion always like that?" Ava smiled.
"This isn't the worst of it!" Watson rolled his eyes.
"I know exactly what you mean." Ava said looking over at Gary who was watching every step he took very carefully.
"Your companion doesn't seem too bad or is there another side to him?"
"There's another side. I won't divulge though." Ava was very careful on that subject especially with Sherlock Holmes about.
Watson chuckled when she said this. There then came lights right in front of them. Sherlock turned around and gave a sort of smile and then ran towards the town. Watson sighed loudly.
"Come on. Adventure awaits." Watson outstretched his arm.

Constantine could hear muffled voices sort of in the distance. He could make out Sara's voice but the other didn't sound familiar. He just guessed that it was the person who had found them on the road. He winced in pain as he tried to sit up and then felt a hand on his shoulder.
"John, stay still." Sara's voice said muffled.
Constantine nodded as he fell back to sleep again. Sara sighed and put her hand through her hair as Jonah Hex came into the room where they were staying.
"How is he?" Jonah asked in his usual brawl.
"I don't know. Just being the usual Constantine by the looks of it." Sara shook her head.
Hex stood by the door of the saloon. He had brought them here after finding them on the road with no one else in sight. He guessed they had somehow become dislodged from the rest of the team. He didn't recognise the man who was with Sara but he trusted Sara somewhat so let him in the saloon.
"Thank you for having us. I know it probably wasn't easy being sheriff and all." Sara pointed at Hex's badge.
"Everyone listens to me, they wouldn't dare." Hex growled.
Then a bang came from outside the room. Hex motioned for them to stay quiet and stay where they were. Sara nodded as she watched Hex leave. She didn't want to get involved where she wasn't needed. Hex would have said something if he needed her.
"What's going on?" Constantine asked weakly.
"Don't worry about it. Just concentrate on getting better." Sara tutted knowing Constantine wouldn't take this advice.
"What if he needs our help?"
"He doesn't! Now get back to sleep or I'll get Gideon…" Sara suddenly stopped herself.
"No Gideon love." Constantine was quick to remind her.
"Just get back to sleep." Sara warned him.
Constantine rolled his eyes but wasn't in the mood for fighting with Sara so listened to her. Sara watched the door waiting for Hex's return. She wasn't scared without him but would like his support if any trouble reared its head.

Shakespeare had left Mick in the pub for a few minutes whilst he talked something over with his stage manager. It probably wasn't a good idea but Mick was very happy with this decision, just as long as no one interrupted him. He had four large pint glasses in front of him that were empty and he was downing another. Two men came bursting through the door in bright red uniforms. Mick paid them no attention as they walked in. The bar manager disappeared and everyone else in the bar hid. Mick on the other hand didn't move and carried on drinking.
"Anyone seen William Shakespeare?" One of them asked.
No one answered.
"No one's going to talk then?" The other one shouted.
Mick burped loudly. He could hear people behind him hiding sniggers when he did this. One of the men came straight towards him.
"Think that's funny?" He asked, smirking.
"Well yeah I do. What are you going to do about it?" Mick asked, folding his arms.
"You don't know who we are then?"
"I don't and I don't care. Now would you let us get back to our drinks and you can leave." Mick tutted.
The two men looked at each other. Mick expected more from them but obviously they weren't going to say anything else.
"If anyone sees him then please tell him the queen's guard is looking for him." The man shouted through the pub.
He got several answers back from the people hiding. The two men then left with Mick smiling as they did. Shakespeare then came through the back door. He looked quite pale when he saw they had left.
"Hey, do you know them?" Mick asked.
"Sort of." Shakespeare answered, shaking.
Mick stared at Shakespeare and then stood up to protect him as some people made their way towards Shakespeare. He might not like Shakespeare very much but he wasn't going to let him be taken away on his watch!

Zari opened her eyes slowly. It seemed like they had landed quite well, considering Gideon had prepared them for a crash landing. She looked around for Charlie and found her already up and about. Charlie was trying to look to see if the computers are still working. She didn't look like she was getting much luck however.
"Anything?" Zari asked hopefully.
"Not yet. Looks like Gideon is rebooting so we might not get anything out of her for a while." Charlie threw her hands up in the air.
"Great, just what we need! Any idea where we are or are we supposed to guess."
"Guess but I'm not going out first."
"Fine I'll go but you're going to back me up right?"
"Yeah of course. Just don't get yourself into trouble."
Zari looked around for anything she could arm herself with. There might not be anything out there but it was better to be safe than sorry. Charlie grabbed some piping that had come off the door when the door had flung open earlier. She chucked it over to Zari. As long as one of them had something, then they should be alright.
"Ready?" Zari asked, making sure.
"As I'll ever be. You?" Charlie asked, nodding.
Zari didn't answer that question however. She just made her way to the door. She looked one more time at Charlie and then opened the door.

Nate, Ray and Jax saw the tent flap open and a man step out in Civil war uniform. Well Nate recognised the uniform anyway. Every soldier around them was standing to attention as he came closer.
"We found them in the field over there sir." One of the soldiers behind them said.
The person still said nothing as he looked the three men up and down. He then waved the soldiers behind them away and gave a hand to Nate to help him up.
"Colonel Sanders." The man smiled as he helped Nate up.
Nate soon smiled as the face of the man came into view. In front of them was General Grant. Ulysses S Grant. The last time they had seen him was helping him away from Union soldier zombies. He just was happy that he didn't have to deal with them this time around.
"General Grant." Nate smiled as Ray and Jax joined him.
"If I knew you were coming then I would have rolled out the red carpet or something." Grant chuckled.
"Sir?" One of the soldiers, new by the looks of it, asked concerned.
"I know these people, men. You can stand down." Grant waved as he shook their hands.
The soldiers still looked worried as they dispersed. Jax heard a few of them talking about him. He took no notice of them however, and turned back towards the conversation.
"So what are you three doing here? Trying to save the day again." Grant mostly put this towards Jax.
"Not this time." Jax sighed.
"We're lost and I don't think we have a way back yet." Ray continued.
"Well you're welcome to stay as long as you want round here. Just say if you need anything, I'm sure my men will be all too happy to help."
"I think we would rather stay with you sir. For the time being." Nate said seeing Jax's worry.
"Of course. This way." Grant showed them to his tent.
Ray helped Nate along as they followed him. Jax had a funny feeling they were being watched but paid no attention to it. He was probably just being paranoid. He shivered and then went into Grant's tent. If there was someone watching them, then they could find out later. He was sure it wouldn't hurt to have a few hours off.
