Sometime after Brawl #610
Calgary

Brian Knight sits a top of an ambulance. The paramedics on the radio with their boss, Mark Paulson is away from ear shot on the phone.
"Listen boss... you're not going to believe this but... the paramedics fucked up."
The pause on the phone felt like it went for an eternity. You could practically see the bullets dripping from Mark's brow.
"Explain."
Mark cleared his throat and does exactly that.
"So look, before you get mad, remember that Dan and Brodie are usually the ones on JoJo duty, not us. Anyway. We went through a tunnel, the lights inside the ambulance went out, and when they flickered back on? JoJo disappeared right off the gurney."
"What do you mean he disappeared!?"
It was rare for Alastor to lose his composure. However, considering Mark just told his boss that they managed to lose a six foot three Texan strapped to a gurney.
"Just vanished, I swear to god he just vanished out of thin air."
"Well did he say where he was going?"
"I don't think I'm making it clear that we watched this man disappear in seconds. Are we really just glossing over that?"
Yes we are. Because we're going to somewhere cooler than bum fuck nowhere Calgary. Out to the Savannah river. Where the before-mentioned large Texan emerges gasping for air while pawing at it with his hands wrapped in medical bandages completely soaked through. Time always got a bit funky whenever eldritch horrors beyond human comprehension decide to give JoJo an express ticket through the river styx to where they wanted him to be. But he traveled an impossible distance in only a few hours, as the sun is just beginning to rise.
The day after Brawl #610

Savannah River, Georgia

Savannah River, Georgia
"Aghhh Ah hate... Ah hate travelin' like that..."
Rush shakes his head to get his wet hair out of his face. The first thing he noticed was the humidity. This is definitely the south.
"Welcome to Savannah, Stormbringer."
A woman in a lab coat rests against a nearby water oak tree. Rush recognized this woman from long ago. (Long ago is about seven months, give or take)
"Ah remember you; you gave me strength to bury Xavier Reid."
The woman chuckles and shakes her head.
"I'm afraid it's first time we ever met, amigo."
"Then how did you know she was goin' to spit me out here..."
The mysterious doctor didn't answer. Instead she reached out a hand to help the former double-champ out of the river.
"I'll explain everything back at the house."
We focus onto JoJo's hand as it reached out to the doctor. The wrappings unravel and unwrap revealing his hands already fully healed. The only reminder of that tragic night in Calgary are the two massive scars in JoJo's calloused palms.
