She was about to do just that when the traveler arrived with her friends. She decided to wait and see what she would do. To everyone else the traveler seemed to be just standing there with her eyes closed, but she knew that the traveler was actually tracing the connection the elemental had to its home world. Good, she's going to send it home. I'm really starting to like this traveler. she thought.
While she was doing that her friend transformed into an invisible giant and blew out the flames on the firetruck. Another of her friends used telekinesis to hem the elemental in and keep it from getting away. She was obviously new to telekinesis, or she'd be moving the elemental itself instead of erecting walls of force in its path. The Shadowkin, a fairly rare magical type that she had only seen once before, used her shadows to hide her friends from the cameras of the news crew.
Finally the traveler had found the correct world, and just in time as her friend was nearly out of energy. She opened a portal to its home plane and swept it up in it when it tried to get away. Fire elementals never want to go back, not as much fuel in their home worlds. she thought.
After that the traveler opened another portal and they all returned to her apartment. That could have gone better. On the other hand, the traveler has proven herself to be caring enough to put herself at risk to protect others. And she made no effort to take credit for it, either. I think it's safe to assume that her presence here will be good for this world. she thought.
The damage from the elemental's visit was minimal, at least. Sighing, she thought, Still, I'd better talk to them. I should apologize for putting her and her friends in danger. And perhaps they would like to know some of what I know about them...
