"Maddie!  Bring my fudge down when you come!"

You hear that bellow?  It's coming from the Door which has just swung open on a set of stairs.  At the top, you might glimpse bits of living room furnature...but not for long.  The view is quickly blocked by a large, orange object which barrels down the stairs and into Milliways.  As it skids to a stop, you can see it's a rather large, jumpsuit-clad human.  A very shocked, larged, jumpsuit-clad human.

He stares for a moment, wheels in his head audibly grinding.

"GALLOPING GHOSTS!  MADDIE!  THE LAB'S BEEN COMPROMISED!"

Behind his mother, Danny facepalmed. "That's what I was trying to tell you--"

He stopped before he revealed himself, and instead grabbed his mother's arm.

"Mom, for once, just for once, don't try to protect me and actually listen to me! Please!"

You know, it's hard to both keep an eye on an adversary and carry on a face-to-face conversation with your son whom you are trying to protect from certain death.

Especially when it appears that said certain death knows him by name.

She takes her eyes off of Dot for a second. "Danny, how does she know you? Has she come after you before?!"

Maddie starts to turn back to Dot with the patented Angry Mother (TM) Look.

Well good, maybe this will get it through to Maddie that Dot is not your enemy.

"Oh for the love of.. I can't even come through into your world without dying a horrible painful deletion!" Dot is giving back that look, comes from being a den mother to several hundred low-density dataforms.

"She a friend, mom. This isn't the lab." He was not letting go of his mother's arm. If she wanted to swing it at someone, she was going to have to use her own son as a human flail.

"The lab wasn't taken over. There's...there's a portal, that sometimes appears in the house. I think it might have to do with the Ghost Portal--maybe it made the fabric of reality weak in our house or something. When it opens up, it leads to this place--which is, it's a multidimensional nexus. A place where all different universes connect. All these people are from entirely different worlds, that's why they look different."

She'd gotten 'I'm your son from an alternate timeline,' so she'd get this, right?

"Please stop fighting, before you hurt one of my friends or they hurt you."

[notjustcookies]

Okay, this is just confusing. Life is ever so much simpler when everything that isn't obviously human is a "Black Hat".

"But...Danny..."

She points at Dot...with the hand that still has a knife in it.

"How is this...how can she..."

Matrix has the damnedest luck tonight, doesn't he?

While trying to head towards little Enzo yet again, he sees some crazy looking lady with a knife pointed at his sister.

"Dot!"

One thing to note about the Matrix family: They are very, very protective of their own.

So, seeing his sister in (what he perceives as) immediate danger, he aims Gun towards the knife wielding woman before firing a couple stun rounds at her.

[notjustcookies]

It's rather like getting hit by a tazer-paintgun. Maddie staggers...and drops like she's been pole-axed.

Bonnie managed to dodge the falling woman -- hey, wasn't she one of the ones who started this? She was on her way to try to find Dot. And from where she stood, she saw two people with green skin. One of them was someone whom she'd never met - but who seemed a little less... involved in conversation. So she called to the big, green guy (more like shouted in the general direction, what with all the mayhem), "I need you to help me out over here!"

[renegade-enzo.livejournal.com]

Matrix starts moving towards the woman, growling audibly.

"Stun rounds, crash it! They were stun rounds!"

How many times does he have to freaking say it?

[not-a-surgeon.livejournal.com]

"I don't care what they were," she snapped back - maybe she looked delicate compared to him, but she'd faced down Garthe Knight. As far as she was concerned, Garthe was scarier. "I need you to help me with Bob."

[goinghost.livejournal.com]

While she was dodging that falling woman, the black-haired boy at her side, who only heard the shot and saw her shudder as she was hit, saw her start to fall, let out an absolutely blood-curdling cry of abject horror.

"MOM!"

He caught her. Barely. As a human, he alway failed his fitness tests and she wasn't exactly a dainty woman what with all that karate-chopping muscle.

Her weight sent him to the ground too, with her mostly in his lap.

"Mom mom mom!" There was a almost teary-eyed panic here borne of something else, but as he checked her pulse and breathing, saw no blood other than the scratches and gouges she already had, and looked up to see that the same one that had shot her was the green guy that had KOed his dad, he started to actually breathe again.

And then glared at Matrix with a glare usually reserved for obsessed supervillain multi-billionaires and eldritch Lovecraftian creatures of the ether.

"I was talking her down!" he screamed shrilly, furious for that one short moment of terror, however brief it had been.

[renegade-enzo.livejournal.com]

Matrix isn't impressed by the look. Of course, he isn't really impressed by the kid in general, so that'd probably explain that.

"And she was holding a knife to my sister! I reacted, kid."

Danny should at least be grateful that he kept Gun on stun ammo.

[command_dot_com]

"Matrix we'll talk about this later."

He meant well. That's the important thing. Dot kneels over to help Danny. "Come on, we'll get your parents out of the fighting and..."

They were going to end up in the cells for this.

[not-a-surgeon.livejournal.com]

A lot of people were going to end up in the cells for this, and Bonnie didn't quite mind. Instead, she looked right at Matrix - not mad, but determined and urgent. "Now you get to help me."

Patience, now, was not her strong suit.

[renegade-enzo.livejournal.com]

"Fine!" he snaps at Bonnie. "If it will shut you the frag up, fine!"

Patience wasn't his strong suit either. Add to that lots and lots of anger issues, and, well...

[not-a-surgeon.livejournal.com]

And Bonnie nodded once. After all, she still had a big wrench. And figured he might change his tune in a minute. If she was right.

If she wasn't, well. She could always find her armoured fiancé.

"He's over here," she said, and led him over to Bob (http://community.livejournal.com/milliways_bar/16733065.html?thread=693481097#t693481097).
