Worlds Collide? (Marvel vs Capcom Infinite)

Land Beyond Time

"The Time Stone has concealed itself behind a barrier, Beyond Time. In a place Ultron Sigma knows nothing of, and cannot reach." 

================================================================  

Janice POV

In Valkanda itself.... 

I didn't know how long I was unconscious when I collapse from exhaustion, but all I know is that we fell into the portal and wind up in the dessert. I looked around to find that my friends aren't here so I walked across the dessert to find them. As I kept searching, the sun was scorching very hot and I felt my mouth was dry. There wasn't water you can't find in the dessert. I searched for a place to shade when I saw a desert city with two statues, however one resembles a panther while the other is a dragon. I try to reach there unfortunately I collapse from dehydration. I  trembled as I wept and the sand stuck to my tears that I won't be able to see her friends. I didn't move or quiet herself when footsteps started my way. Whoever or whatever it was, I hoped someone found me. 

  The footsteps stop and stay still for a long time before carefully coming forward. "What the?..." It was a females voice as she knelt and turned my body over. I  didn't resist, but looked up at the blurry red blob that hovered over me and she was looking at me. She touched my face and said, "Poor child, wandering the dessert alone..." As I lost conscious, I heard someone talking to a man as I felt two strong arms lifted me and held me close. I felt a wave of security wash over me and leaned into the hold.  

I didn't felt the sun shining on me anymore instead I felt something wet on my head. I slowly opened my eyes to see a shade of palm trees above me and I was lying in a large leaf. I slowly got up to see a wet towel feel from my forehead. I saw the city walls in front of me but yet I wondered who saved me until...

"You are a awake...."a deep voice said from behind.

I turned to see a man in a black cape and a mask, I realize who is and I was surprised that I was saved by the Black Panther, King T'challa. I didn't know it was possible to meet a real life hero, I thought to believe it was a dream but it wasn't since it was hot out here then I remember he's the king. "Oh your majesty..."I bowed my head respectfully. Black Panther said, "Raise your head, child."  I did what he was told as he gave me water to drink. I drink all of it as my mouth was refreshed with a smile on my face. He let out his hand as he helped me stand up. "Are you well, child?" Black Panther said. 

"Yes....um thank you I...er...."I stuttered.

"At ease child, there is no need to fear me."

"Sorry, its just....my first time meeting a king."

"I see. May I ask why were you wandering alone across the dessert?"

I lowered my head and said, "My friends and I fell into portal then I landed out here in the dessert. I got separated from my friends...." as tears forming from my eyes as I continued, "I searched for them and couldn't find them. I thought something might happen to them and I have no idea where they are." I placed my hand on my face where he won't see me cry. He stared at me with a pitiful look as he knelt down to his knee and placed both his hands on my shoulder. "Do not worry, your one. I may not know where they are but I will help you find them." He assured me as he wiped my tears from my eye with his hand. I felt a calmness washed over me that I believed I trust him. He said, standing up, "In the mean time, you must stay in Valkanda where it safe, it is no place for a child to be out here." I don't know if I am safe in there but if it means finding my friends, I hope. Then, I noticed two people coming from behind him. I stared at the armor woman who was with the strong man and thought, 'Strange, Isn't that Ryu that Shane played at the arcade?'
