Being friends with Jane foster was, interesting. Even more so when she woke you up at 4am to go search for some hidden portal she loved talking about.

"So… why are we doing this?" Ashera asked with a yawn.

"Well I was tracking this satellite which I realized is now way off its course," Jane began, "so I looked into it and I think there is a dimensional rift…"

Ashera stopped listening she was an intern, well the intern's intern's intern…. It was confusing but for the record they were more friends than co-workers and since Darcy and her boyfriend were busy being across the country, she was the one to go along with Jane. She hardly understood the words coming out of Jane's mouth she just stayed to write down whatever findings she rambled off. The best part was Jane was always too busy to notice anything strange, at least with other people. Which worked just fine for Ashera, she didn't need anyone looking too closely into her business.

Jane pulled the van over and got out to survey an area of dirt.

"Over here!" She shouted.

"I'm coming." Ashera answered as she dragged a bag of their equipment over. "So… we just like, wait here?"

"Well I just need to be sure this is the spot. And a few feet to the, Oh!"

Ashera had been following blindly and reacted to Jane's exclamation. There was an odd shimmer and suddenly she could see trees. "We are not in New Mexico are we?" She said it as a statement rather than a question.

Jane gave her an excited but apologetic look which was all the answer Ashera required.

Ashera looked around she had never been to another country before and knowing how Jane's experiments went they were on another world.

There was a sudden gust of wind that pushed Ashera and toppled her backwards. Being caught off guard she quickly flipped upright and called out to Jane.

Another gust of wind had sand blinding her. "Damn!" She cursed out loud. She got low and waited it out. Once the dust cleared Ashera looked around her, Jane was definitely gone. Great she thought what now? She looked at the surrounding area, the tree line nearby would give her more cover and she needed to get her options together. She grabbed the backpack and Jane's bag that had been blown away in the gust of wind. Bringing the items, she found a decent area a few yards into the tree line and set up camp. She knew she had to decide on the best course of action. She didn't want to leave Jane to fend for herself; I mean this girl practically ran into trouble, but she wasn't sure going into an unknown world with no direction was any better. Ashera was used to being in tough situations so she knew how to handle it, but this was a different world and she was out of her element not knowing the dangers she may have to face. She sighed as she thought; perhaps some of this eccentric equipment would help.

"Let's see what we have" she said out loud to herself as she rifled through the bags.

She took a quick inventory and decided to wait for Jane to return on her own. If she had not returned within the next few hours she would go search for her. She had found a tracker in one of the bags that was (luckily) trained on Jane and always followed her current location. Ashera had one as well but she knew where she was, in the middle of nowhere. She just had to adjust some settings and she could use it like a compass to follow Jane's dot. After fiddling with it for a few minutes she got it working. The reading she got was not ideal, Jane was still in the same world but had somehow traveled at least 50 miles away from Ashera's current location. She sighed again; this was not the journey she had planned for. She waited at her camp surveying her surroundings and what she could see of the direction of Jane's dot. There was clearly a city nearby and that had to be where Jane was. She could see the dim lights and the outline of towers in the distance, although the trees obscured most of it. It wouldn't be an easy travel but it had been an hour already and no sign of Jane returning. The dot had stayed in the same place no movement had been made in the time that had passed. Ashera was not going to make that journey with all of this stuff and she certainly wouldn't make it in any timely manner, at least not as a human. She got to work hiding their equipment; all but the tracker which she secured on the bag that held her clothes. She looked again to be sure their things were hidden before turning to the clearing. She set her bag down next to her. She would be sure to grab it before leaving the clearing. It had now been an hour and a half and she saw no sign of dawn which meant time here was clearly different from on Earth. Jane could be hiding somewhere for the night or in danger, either way she needed to look for her.

Ashera closed her eyes focusing on the change, willing her body to do the work. It was uncomfortable but she just needed to relax and it would be over. She forced her body to shift. Her bones moved, muscles reformed, the cracks sounded louder in the quiet forest as her whole form changed. Her nose became sensitive and her ears perked at the sound of the wind. Strong paws and claws dug into the earth, pure white fur glistened in the dim moonlight, emerald eyes glared out into the clearing. It was over. A howl ripped from her chest, a hunter's call, she was ready to track down her friend. The enormous wolf stalked out from the tree line to stand in the clearing. She raised her head sniffing the air; she knew the direction and began an easy lope toward the city.

A/N: First post ever, let me know if it has any interest. I have a ways to go with it if people like it. I'll try to update soon. Thank you!
