Xaviers!

"Never." she smirks at Katarina, her eyebrow dipping in what must be a wink hiding behind those glasses.

"I might get some air too. My advice tends to be... unhelpful when there's science talk about."

"Yeah... I'm not goin' to be much help either," Leo said, shuffling uncomfortably. "This doesn't call for muscle and, while I'm not stupid, I'm far from cut out for quantum anything."

"Yes, well, I'm certain I could take a crash course," Katarina said, the pop star pursing her lips. "Off with the lot of you, then. Go enjoy your day."

"Everybody wants to stop the badguys but no one cares for educating themselves on the intricacies of the cosmos." Ashlie shakes her head. "I appreciate the commitment and I'll try to explain as much as I can. I don't think you're looking to sneak advanced knowledge back home but I'm sure you'll understand if I don't give you the full details on advanced quantum physics."

"I'm much more results oriented," Katarina admitted. "I don't try to ask too many questions. I've learned that, where I'm from, that's leads to no end of problems."

"In my experience, questions that lead to problems are exactly the ones you should be asking. Now, let's go find your rift."
