He yawned. Omphalos was certainly different, actually, he quite liked the change, there wasn't much violence to be had in the place. No military fools running around. No PMCs. No war. Nothing like that, just... Peace. Though even he knew peace couldn't last forever, at least not completely. This Omphalos place was peaceful yes, but just beneath the surface if you cut it open wide enough you'd be able to see the war that was brewing just past the peace and calm. Like the calm before a storm.

That was something Raiden was preparing for right now. More so with his combat body. Mostly machine, what remained that was human? Well, that was yet to be seen really. He knew yes, others however they might see him as more of a monster or a robot than a person now. Even if this was the path he chose... At least, now he chose it... At first he didn't but after time he'd come to accept it and moved on.

The battle he was preparing for currently was to help a certain purple haired angel that seemed to. Like him and not just in the friendly sense. She seemed pleased that he was still in one piece when he returned to this place and to be honest, he wasn't really expecting that. He hadn't seen it coming. At all. So it threw him off a little bit of course he wasn't going to let those thoughts get in the way when he was helping her. Regardless of if he got injured he was helping her ascend and helping her to become something more than helpless. He couldn't blame her for wanting too, because he'd have probably taken that chance as well. Not for the fame. Not for the glory. Oh no no. Simply so he could help stop the stupidity. The chaos.

There was something much more powerful out there than he was, something that was determined to bring everything down. Make it all fall apart just like Sundowner, Sam, Senator Armstrong, they all believed that war was the only way to make things work. Raiden's feelings about that... Weren't on the same level. He may have been like them at one point feeling that he was better at nothing than on the battle field but he had found (with the help of Snake of course) that he was much better at solving other peoples problems. Helping the weak when they couldn't stand up for themselves.

So he thought of himself as more a bully deterrent and a protector than anything else now. He wouldn't ever bother trying to get to the same level as Isis but if he was given the chance without asking for it? He may just go ahead and take it. If he failed? Well then he wasn't good enough to begin with and someone more deserving would have that spot.

Letting out a sigh as he roamed the place he stopped walking once he reached the beach. Even though he was mostly machine he could still feel the sand beneath the heeled feet. He just came out here to hear the ocean, to try and calm his nerves a little because beneath that stoic shell of his, he was at least a little worried. If he wasn't? Well he wouldn't be human anymore would he?

Though that was when he heard it. Some God awful noise that made his ears ring. A hand lifted to his blade tearing the weapon from his back as he watched though what he saw eventually wasn't what he was expecting at all! A young woman came through what looked to be a rip in the air. In an instant the blade was put back and Raiden dashed forwards catching her before she hit the ground only to place her on her feet.

"... Hi. Nice of you to drop in."

She had ended it. With her own hands she had ended the horrible nightmare that was Zachary Hale Comstock. Though it wasn't without a price. In drowning Booker Dewitt- her father, she ended her chance of existence as well. Without the necessary component to be born, she too ceased to exist. ...But it wasn't over. Somewhere in another reality Booker DID exist and so did she.

That reality kept her in existence even if it WASN'T her. It was a form of her. A form of her that never had to go through the suffering as her many other selves had. While her consciousness continued to float outside time and space she dreamed... Seeing the new realities that had formed for her and her father. It gave her comfort in knowing somewhere, a version of her was happy.

But that all soon changed.

The brunette suddenly felt herself falling. Falling through a deep black abyss as she heard the familiar sound of a tear opening. But how? That shouldn't be possible-

"It's time to begin again, Anna Dewitt."

That voice... It sounded- familiar?

As she fell further through the abyss and through the tear she suddenly felt wind against her back, the smell of sea salt air and the crashing of waves even as she fell from who knows how high. However no matter how much she wanted her body to move, it wouldn't reply. Thus she continued to fall as she wondered if this would be her end even though she just came back into existence? It was when she felt strong metallic arms catch her as her blue eyes slowly fluttered open.

"... Hi. Nice of you to drop in."

".....Mhm..?" She groaned letting him help her stand up. As she stood she swayed a bit her mind feeling fogged and groggy. Putting a hand to her head she managed to catch herself from falling on the ground again.

She seemed to do that alot in her adventures- the falling thing.

Finally getting her bearings she found herself staring at what was a man... Or- could he be called a man? Was he even human? He APPEARED human but the metallic parts of his body said other wise. ..Was it possible he was some new version of the handyman? No... That couldn't be right, what was she thinking? He wasn't wearing armor and he appeared to humanoid to even be considered one of those abominations.

It took her a moment to realize she was staring at the man who just saved her life! Her eyes widened a bit as a pale blush formed on her pale cheeks, embarrassed for her rude behavior. "Uhm... I'm sorry." She apologized not wanting to come off rude or ignorant. She didn't know anything about him and why he appeared the way he did. So staring was incredibly unbecoming of her.

Looking around she realized she was on a beach, but it was different from the artificial beaches back in Columbia... Turning her attention back to the mysterious man she forced her troubled expression down before gave a small bow. "Thank you for rescuing me sir. My name is A- Elizabeth. It's nice to make your acquaintance." A confused expression marred her soft features. "Do you know where I am?"

".....Mhm..?" A groan, that was all he got as a response.

"Are my jokes really that bad?" He asked aloud. Then again maybe something happened wherever she was from or it could be the effect of being hauled to this place.

Then came the staring.

He stood in silence, folding his arms and watching her, quirking a single brow. He was used to people staring but still this was going to go into the realms of awkwardness if she didn't cut that out soon.

"Uh..." He was about to say something when she spoke up.

"Uhm... I'm sorry." Oh so she could actually talk? That was good. It meant he wouldn't need to try and guess what she was trying to say and it was English as well. Perfect.

"Thank you for rescuing me sir. My name is A- Elizabeth. It's nice to make your acquaintance." Both his eyebrows rose upwards. Sir? She was a bit... Formal really at least to him she seemed to be formal.

"It's Raiden." He stated, just so that she didn't keep calling him sir or anything even close to that. It wasn't needed or wanted.

"Do you know where I am?" That was a good question really, probably the same question everyone had when they ended up here. He knew he had that same question.

"Omphalos. Before you go trying to work out if it's in your world it isn't. I already tried figuring that one out. Completely different world I found. It's a middle ground. You just like most of the people here have been dragged from wherever you were to help some Gods stop a cycle or battle and pain or whatever." He couldn't remember the tiny details but he gave her the quickest briefing he could.

"I'm hoping I answered a couple of other questions with that." He blinked and then sighed. Why did he suddenly think he'd end up being a tour guide? She certainly didn't look like a fighter, the smaller rather fragile looking frame she had made him wonder just exactly what skills as a combatant she had. If any. Why would the Gods want this young lady? Was she a medic or something, yeah that had to be it.

Raiden. So that was his name. Japanese for lightning if her memory served her well. What an odd name, it couldn't be his birth name just like Elizabeth wasn't her's. Still- he probably had his reasons and despite how curious she was she wouldn't divulge or pester him about his past. "I see, well thank you Raiden." Her mind was still whirling, as the cybernetic man continued explaining just where she was. Omphalos?

That didn't sound like place she had seen in every possible reality of her world- Oh! It was a different world! That explained so much, yet so little. And being the curious young woman she was, Elizabeth wanted to know more. "So... These 'Gods', they are REAL Gods? And not just some people with God complexes?" She inquired already seeing enough of people trying to play "God", add to the fact for a brief time she WAS a god- er goddess in a sense she really and truly had her fill of omnipresent beings.

Crossing her arms beneath her bosom she sighed her face contorted into a look of worry. Where was her father? Booker HAD to be here right? She doubted these "gods" would bring her and not bring her father- who had amazing skills in combat. It would be stupid for anyone to pass up a chance for a strong warrior! ...Or maybe that was just her biased opinions speaking?

Shaking her head mentally of such thoughts she decided on focusing on the present. First she needed to find out more about this new world. Then she had to find somewhere to stay, and THEN she could begin her search for her father. One step at a time someone would say, she couldn't rush these things after all.

After what seemed a few minutes of thought (when in reality it was just a just about a minute) she finally spoke. Though he looked impassive, he didn't seem all enthused on giving a "tour" of this place. But she had no clue where to start... A thought suddenly hit her as she wondered if she could summon her guardian? With so many realities there was a chance that it could still exist!

Though the chances were slim, she was almost completely sure that her bird-like friend was still alive. Her mind stuck on that thought she seemed to ignore the cyborg bushido warrior as she walked a few feet near the ocean, the waves just brushing against her clothed feet.

Reaching out she made a motion as though she was ripping something open, as the familiar sound of a tear opening was heard throughout the semi silent beach. Finally opening it completely a open arc way appear several feet tall though the insides were pitch black. Suddenly a giant red round eye snapped open within the darkness as a screeching sound could be heard.

Stepping back little by little Elizabeth watched as the monstrous metal bird made it's way out of the tear. It looked around until it spotted the small girl in front of it. Giving off another screech as it spread it's wings as seemed to come down on the brown haired woman but the reality manipulator didn't even scream.

Instead the metallic beast nuzzled the young woman as it's eyes turned green, signifying it was tame. "Songbird! Oh! I knew you were alive somewhere!" She exclaimed happily as the "Songbird" looked up only to spot Raiden. It's eyes instantly turned red as it let out a possessive screech, looking ready to charge. It was only due to Elizabeth's intervention did she placate the humongous abomination. "No! Songbird! He's a friend!"

The red eye then shifted to yellow, then green, as it calmed down as she patted it's beak before turning back towards Raiden. "I'm sorry. He's REALLY possessive. Raiden, meet Songbird, he was my very first friend back when I was a child in-" She paused looking sad and pained for a moment. "Back "home"." She finished after some hesitation as her words didn't seem to have a positive impact at the word "home".

That was the truth after all... that place, that tower- it was NEVER her home. Songbird who seemed to feel her sorrow gave a soft trill as she instinctively rubbed it's beak. "Anyway... Raiden si- Raiden, could you possibly show me around? I need to learn more of this world before I can start my search for... a person very important to me." Not one hundred percent trusting the man before her despite his shown kindness. For all she knew he could use her ties to Booker against her. And even though she wanted to trust this man, apart of her couldn't completely. Which was part of the reason why she summoned her old friend and guardian Song bird.

You never could be too careful after all...

"I see, well thank you Raiden." He nodded, he was attempting to be helpful and save himself the trouble of explaining each and every little detail.

"So... These 'Gods', they are REAL Gods? And not just some people with God complexes?"

"They're real. I didn't think they were either." He answered her question though it was straight to the point and he wasn't taking the time to explain any further than that. Some woman drops out of the sky, would you tell her your life story? Hell no.

Now he watched as she wandered off to the waves, arching a brow before he heard that noise again. It made him cringe ever so slightly and a deep set frown played on his features. Watching as the tear got bitter and bigger he wasn't sure what to make of it. He'd... Never seen anything like this. It was completely bizarre. Like something out of a science fiction movie. Though the inside of it was black and suddenly a large red eye and Raiden moved, quick as a flash his hand went to the blade and it was drawn, he prepared to attack as soon as the woman was out of the way of whatever the hell that thing was.

Then it finally burst through the tear and Raiden prepared himself. The strange thing was that the woman didn't even flinch at the thing. Was that. A pet? Then it nuzzled her, and Raidens face must've been a picture, he looked so confused, bewildered at what he was witnessing.

"Songbird! Oh! I knew you were alive somewhere!" So she did know it. Its eyes even shifted to a green color and Raiden still stood with his blade in hand just in case. He didn't trust that thing not even the slightest little bit. As soon as it spotted him the red returned and a screech sounded. Quickly he began charging the weapon with lightning.

"No! Songbird! He's a friend!" Then it started to calm down and Raiden did so as well. Shaking the lightning from the weapon as he watched.

"I'm sorry. He's REALLY possessive. Raiden, meet Songbird, he was my very first friend back when I was a child in-" He watched, the distrust had sky rocketed since that bird showed up.

"Back "home"." He nodded.

"Right..." He didn't sound impressed, if anything he sounded colder now. Mainly due to the fact he was ready at a moments notice to take that birds head OFF if he needed too.

"Anyway... Raiden si- Raiden, could you possibly show me around? I need to learn more of this world before I can start my search for... a person very important to me." Raiden shook his head then he motioned to the bird.

"Not with that thing I can't. The city'd be in an uproar and probably end up attacking it or fleeing from it. Drawing attention to yourself isn't the best way to go about this. I got weird looks but that? It might just start a war out of fear." Raiden commented then he started walking, replacing the sword on his back as he went.

"Get rid of the bird and follow me."
