- Proof Of Possession Of The IIC:
-Capital Crocus, Diana's Townhouse, 1:01 A.M.-
Lying on her bed and facing the room door, Diana blinked and started at the door in silence. Sleep was a precious commodity the blonde was just not getting right now and she doubted that she would get any within the next few minutes. The blonde took a quiet breath and slowly sat up, then moved over to the edge of her bed and put her bare feet on the floor. A moment later she stood up and walked over to the dresser, then opened the top right drawer and fished the Infinite Improbability Chronometer out. Diana shut the drawer and walked back over to her bed with the device, then set it down where she had been sitting before retrieving her trademark white thighhigh stockings from on top of the dresser and going over to the bed again.
The blonde carefully sat down to the left of the Infinite Improbability Chronometer and put on the stockings, then stood up and faced the bed before kneeling to retrieve her black tennis shoes. The fingers of her right hand tapped rapidly on the floor until she managed to put her fingers inside the heels of the shoes... when she did that she pulled her arm out and brought the footwear along with it. Diana set the shoes down on the floor with the toes facing the door, then stood up and took a seat on the bed before putting them on and tying the laces.
Wearing her usual outfit of purple t-shirt, black skirt with pockets, white thighhigh stockings, and black tennis shoes, Diana grabbed the waiting Infinite Improbability Chronometer with her right hand and placed it in the palm of her left hand. She did not use it right away because her mind was focused on how she had treated Juno the last time she had visited the space station. The blonde was not happy with how she had treated someone who had shown her hospitality and she wanted to apologize to her hostess... if it was not too late to do so. If she were lucky there was still a chance to make amends with Juno, but the blonde had better get to the station soon.
Diana kept that in mind as she took a quiet breath and wound the Infinite Improbability Chronometer forty-two times, causing a pale blue light to engulf her just like it had the last time she had finished winding the device. Within moments she vanished from sight and was on her way to space.
-On board the space station-
Diana soon reappeared in the same hallway she had arrived in last time and it still felt as oddly warm and comforting as it had been during her first trip. The blonde turned to look out the window to the right, which was still showing the beautiful scene of white stars on an inky black background. As she looked she saw her reflection in the window and noticed that her long hair had turned bone white again. It remained that way for a minute or two before returning to normal and the moment it turned blonde again Diana faced towards the elevator down the hallway and was about to walk towards it when she heard a female voice behind her.
"
Diana!" It called out. When the blonde heard it she froze in place and felt terror wash over her.
Had Melody Winchester's ghost somehow followed her to space?Recalling the terror of their last encounter when the older Winchester had bound Diana with rope all over her body except for her nose and left the younger Winchester tied up like that, the blonde's calm facial expression changed to one of unbridled fear as she feared that a repeat of that unpleasant experience was about to take place.
"
Diana! Hey Diana!" The voice called again. The hair on the back of Diana's neck stood up and she screamed before running for the elevator door as fast as she could go. She was four running steps away when the door opened automatically and out stepped Juno, who was clearly surprised to see Diana running towards her. The panicking blonde shrieked in surprise and quickly maneuvered to the left, then turned her body sideways to get by the stationary pink-haired young woman: it was a close fit, but Diana squeezed by Juno and darted onto the elevator, stopping at the very back of it.
"
Diana! I didn't expect to see you here!" Juno called out.
Diana spun around and looked towards the other young woman. Juno was currently standing in the doorway and her presence meant that the elevator door would not close. She was about to order Juno to move when she spotted a floating green sphere with a face float past the pink-haired station manager's knees and float to within arm's length of Diana, then hover at knee level before looking up at her with beady red eyes.
"
Diana!" It called out her name in greeting and a hole on its right side opened to allow a little flexible green arm with a little green glove on the end to emerge. It raised the arm and waved its little right hand at Diana.
"
Hey Diana!" It repeated the greeting. The blonde took a few quiet breaths once she realized that it was the source of the voice she thought was Melody's. The terror slowly began to melt off of Diana's face and her breathing starting slowing down to its normal rate.
"
Diana, you look absolutely terrible. Are you all right?" Juno asked.
