Napping Dragons

In the middle of the quad a red dragon napped. It hadn't been there a moment ago, but it was there now. It hadn't noticed moving between dimensions and whatever had caused the transit didn't seem to wake it.

" Not what I would expect to find lying around in this dimension," the Phoenix said, as she approached the dragon.

The dragons eyes snapped open looking towards the Phoenix.

"I am not from here, originally" Aiden rumbled, "I crashed through a portal to here some time ago though."

The dragon had not yet noticed things were amiss.

"You are responsible, then, for the mess?"

"Which one? There are many messes and I am not responsible for all of them," Aiden said stretching his wings. "Unless you mean the tree. I crashed into one while racing a bird once."

"I would choose your next words very quickly, if you desire to remain on this, or indeed any other plane."

Aiden looked at the Phoenix and rose slowly to his feet. He didn't recognize the Phoenix from anyone at the moment.

"I rather like this one," Aiden said, "it taught me to be a hero. I'm not sure what this problem is that you're threatening me because of, but it cannot possibly be worth fighting a dragon."

"Take a good look and see if I'm afraid of a dragon.

I am no damsel in distress."

Aiden looked at the Phoenix for a moment. Thinking through what he knew about the X-Men of his new home plane and several pieces began falling into place.

"I thought you would be bigger," Aiden rumbled unwilling to admit that this was a fight he would lose quickly (very quickly at that). "Why exactly are you here? I cannot imagine you come to threaten dragons taking naps as a break from roaming the universe."

"Look at what's going on around you, Dragon. Take a look at what has come down upon us."

Aiden looked around as if for the fist time and saw that things were not how they were supposed to be. What with multiple dimensions trying to overlap on each other.

"Multiple dimensional incursions?" Aiden asked looking around, "This is... not good."

"Got it in one.
This is not related to your portal, then?"

"No, the dimension i arrived in has been stable for years," Aiden said, "None of these buildings are from my original dimension, so this would seem unrelated. And much worse."

"Ooookay," Janice says as she approaches.

"A dragon and a lady on fire. You guys... aren't gonna fight, right?"

"Not at the...moment," Mira said, trailing off as she saw Janice.

"Okay, okay, cool. Did you guys see where... people are supposed to be heading?"

"Because suddenly anything is possible, and I don't want to think about what that means for my powers."

"I did...not. But we may get a better view from up above," she said, turning to look at the dragon.

Aiden made a laughing noise? It sounded like rocks falling down a cliff, but he lowered himself to the ground to allow people onto his back.

"The air is strange here," Aiden runbled, "But I've flown in worse. Perhaps we can find the other students."

"If you're sure about not getting hit by... fourth-dimensional ultra-lightning, and all that."

"I haven't seen any lightning," Aiden said looking towards the sky. "I'd be more concerned about other things depending on how many dimensions there are colliding, but I am accustomed to carrying passengers into battle, little one."

"What about you, Fire Lady? What odds do you give on that turning us inside out?"

"Okay but I come from London and I'm a bit squishy by comparison."

Aiden scales seemed to shimmer turning many different colors as he looked towards the sky. They eventually settled on red again.

"Stay close to my neck then," Aiden suggested. "You will have the best grip there and will be as protected as is possible."

Drake was out flying when the world went insane. When he finally reoriented himself, he laid eyes on the big honking dragon and fire lady on the lawn and swooped in for a landing.

"Holy shit, are you a real dragon?!" he asked excitedly.

"...of course there's the possibility that a giant dragon and a lady on fire might bring everyone here anyway."

"We do make a good landmark. I could breathe fire and light up the sky if you think it would help," Aiden said before his head swiveled towards the excited Drake. "I am indeed real, dragonkin."

"I mean... mutant shifter or full-blooded dragon? If the former I'm jealous because I haven't figured that out yet."

"You'll find that full-blooded dragons vary greatly to the point where it doesn't matter," Aiden said, "Which makes you no more or less a dragon once you've found your true shape, pup."

"Pup? Are you really old or something?" he asked, half-offended.

"That one understands, but you are both correct," Aiden said with a reptilian grin.

"Dimensional ingress, and not a natural one. Someone is meddling with the fundamental constants of the fifth dimension."

"Multiple dimensions are trying to occupy the same 'space'," Aiden said.

"You are familiar, one would hope, with the three spacial dimensions; the dimensions you can move around in freely, as long as you are not obstructed by gravity. Or a wall.

You may also be familiar with the fourth dimension; one of time, where most of us can only move in one direction at one constant speed.

The fifth dimension is one of probability. The things that happen to you, the events that occur, are the most likely to happen...in your space of probability. This is not something people can simply move between; fifth-dimensional movement is nigh-impossible and highly dangerous. I would suggest checking the work of Adams to learn more.

Fifth-dimensional space is apparently collapsing around us, crunching down into one."

"Okay wait, and please don't roast me for admitting this because I'm pretty sure I didn't do this."

"But I'm a probability manipulator."
