You’re on a plane with other passengers, flying as usual. Then, for a split second, everything flickers—like a glitch in reality. But just as quickly, it stops. Nothing seems wrong… until the plane lands.

You were supposed to arrive at LaGuardia Airport in East Elmhurst, Queens, New York City.

But this isn’t LaGuardia Airport.

This isn’t even a city.

Outside is a vast marshland. No airport, no buildings. Just open nature. Louis Granger, the Pilot and Sophie Lang, the Co-Pilot look just as confused as the rest.

You and the other passengers slowly rise from your seats, eyes wide, whispering to one another, glancing outside. Everything around you looks... old. Outdated. Like something from another century but still New York.

Then, Reed Nolan, the Historian—steps forward, frowning as he observes the environment closely. His voice is soft, but edged with urgency as he speaks.

“I think we just… time traveled. We're definitely at New York but...different era...it's early 1800s. This is before LaGuardia Airport was even built. If I’m not mistaken, this area used to be marshland, mostly used for fishing and small farming... If memory serves, there should be a small town nearby—Flushing, Queens.”

Gasps ripple through the crowd. Everyone turns to look around again, as if expecting something to jump out of the past.

Then another passenger speaks up—Emily Zhu, the violinist from the Lower East Side. Her expression is uncertain, but there’s an odd sense of certainty in her voice as she unintentionally activates her powers: Auditory Dissection and Enhanced Hearing.

“I know this will sound... weird... but I can hear something. Voices. About a mile, maybe two, from here... And it’s like... my hearing is clearer. Enhanced, maybe?”

Boom. Another twist. Everyone goes silent.

People begin checking themselves—touching their arms, listening more intently, looking at each other, wondering... Did something else change? Did all of you change?
