Rook looks at all these newcomers as they get dropped from various portals, eyes widening at first, then narrowing as his surprise gives way to his intuition.

"It seems that someone or something is bringing all these people, including myself, here...but who or what could it be?" Rook muses to himself, starting to pace as he takes off the device on his shoulder and turns it into some kind of scanner. "These portals seem to be between universes rather than points in the timestream, which could narrow it down, but I am not sure who would-"

And then another portal opens up, catching Rook's attention due to it's placement - mainly, it seems to be above a canyon rather than solid ground like the other portals thus far. "...odd; these portals have thus far seemed to be controlled in where they open, so why would one open..."

And then a blonde human woman in rather grungy-looking street clothes drops from the portal, screaming as she falls.

Rook's eyes widen as he starts running, adjusting his Proto-Tool as he does so. "Hang on!"

He leaps forward, grabs the falling woman, and then fires a grappling-hook from his Proto-Tool at the canyon wall, latching onto it and serving as an anchor to make sure both of them don't drop to their deaths.

"Are you alright?" Rook asks.

The woman nods, shaking a bit. "Y-yeah, fine...not really used to being the one who's saved here..."

She blows her hair to the side. "God, I thought after I left the family business only Crow would be the one to have to deal with this kind of thing..."
