Kain watched the group of warriors closely. He didnt feel to threatened but he knew never to fully trust anyone. He did his best to act accepting of the warriors. He slowly walked over and joined his fellow soldiers. He replaced the Soul Reaver on his back. Trying to instill trust he stretched forward his hand. "Hi Mikasa. My name is Kain, Lord of the vampires and king of Nosgoth." he said with a slight bow.

And just like that, almost too-quickly, it was done. The beasts defeated, the bad guy's army crushed, the city saved. Or so it seemed. No need for a Wolf Among Them any more, then.
At least for now.
The "secret" was out already, so there was no point being uptight about it. The wolf's proud form stomped its foremost paw, threw its head back and howled to the heavens in victory, and then Bigby's form shifted and condensed and began to become decidedly less lupine.
"My name is Mikasa. Mikasa Ackerman. I don't know who you people are, or how you can do what you do... but you've helped us. I don't know why. Who are you? Did you bring these monsters here?...and you're wearing our maneuvering gear," she pointed at Ocelot, then noticed he wasn't wearing a uniform. "But I get the feeling you aren't exactly one of my men." Her soldiers were well trained. Despite being battle weary, they stood tall and proud at attention. The threat neutralized, citizens who'd been hiding came out to assess the state of things. Some had witnessed from windows, others from trying to escape the carnage. Word traveled fast from ear to ear until people began to cheer from the streets below for their military and new saviors. They couldn't keep their eyes off the less than human champions specifically. Kain, Spawn, Bigsby and Felix. Some stared at Satsuki in awe; the Warrior that fell the Smiling Titan in moments. Some others watched Jenny with trust and even admiration. The people of the city began to whisper of tales of the Woman on the Wolf. The Elemental who moved water to his will was not ignored, nor the Berserker who plowed through the forces of an army like a tank. Starlord gathered as many onlookers as one could expect from a man in a jetpack; even Mikasa couldn't pretend not to notice. The Sorcerers, quiet amidst the backdrop of destruction, went appropriately unnoticed.
And that was when naked Bigby rolled up in all his glory, completely casual in his bareness. "Hey. Can I get some clothes?" "I'm alive. Human. Name's Felix. Those guys? They're thugs and idiots. And who I am? A big damn hero." He smirked. Not really, far from it but he did do what he did best. "By the way, I did kill exactly 142 targets out there. 100 dollars a head is what I usually charge, so if I could please get paid for my work..." "I can confirm that. He killed a hundred and forty two of his targets, stone-dead. Quick and clean. Just about what I'd expect from a merc." His nose, his senses, missed nothing, especially in wolf form. He could pick apart and distinguish the differing smells of a full city's worth of people when at his peak. Once he caught sight of someone and matched scent to face, he never forgot. So when one of the random soldiers from the rooftop they'd been standing on's combat musk got overwhelmed by the sudden scent of blood and then just plain nothing, it would be generous to say Bigby was suspicious - more like condemning. A fact made apparent by the cold pair of yellow eyes that narrowed and fixated on Felix.
"And one of them was one of your boys. This guy's an opportunist. He murdered some kid, took out a few grunts, bowed out when the going got really tough and now he's trying to claim glory for an easy dime. He's better off dead, or someplace secure where he can't get in our way."

"Whoa whoa whoa, big sheriff over here. Accusing and shit. You know, I'm hearing a lot of bullshit on this line. Couldn't quite make it out... buuuuuuuuut it sounded like you are under the impression I killed one of these fine gentlemen. I'm just a charismatic mercenary with a gruff exterior but a heart of gold. It's very romantic, trust me." He gestured out to his accuser. "And look at this guy! The Big Bad Wolf! Really, the fucking big bad wolf is calling me out for something I did not do."
"Now, don't get me wrong. I like money. I like killing. I'm damn good at it. As I showed here..." He gestured out to the carnage. "While this bastard was huffing and puffing and blowing like he was at a third rate strip club. I mean, come on, you really gonna trust this guy? Fucker probably doesn't even have any proof."
He stepped up closer, face to face to Bigby, not even caring about lack of clothes. Just gave credence to the idea of this guy being at a strip club. "And if he does..." He poked Bigby's chest with each successive word. "I. Invite. Him. To. Show. It." He coldly stared in turn. This was actually refreshing. He had acted before, with his partner. But that was worlds ago.
"How's about it sheriff? Show off those detective skills you got, eh?"

Spawn watched in slight amusement as Felix stepped up and started poking Bigby. "Ain't my place to judge someone's career path, but if you got brains in that head of yours, a thought may come to pass that maybe poking the Big Bad Wolf isn't a great idea if you wish to live a long life.." Depending on how it turned out, in Spawn's opinion he might not live to process that thought. Or at the very least be on the receiving end of a an ass whooping. "Less he gets in my way, then I don't give a rat's ass what he does to make a living. But if he tries to stab anyone in the back, it ain't just gonna be the wolf you're gonna be dealin with..Keep that somewhere safe in your head. You'll need it.." Spawn warned before returning his attention back to Mikasa. He had a no tolerance-policy when it came to backstabbers after what happened with Chapel. Spawn got his revenge on him, yes he did..Didn't kill him but he sure as hell drove his ass insane.

Kain watched for a reaction, and he got one. Since he waited, he'd see the head of the Beast Titan explode. Though it seemed intelligent, most of its brain was now outside of its head. Some of its upper torso blown away too, the corpse fell to its knees and collapsed, twitching. Spawn, relatively close to the explosion, would feel at least some of its force. Starlord's timed explosion sealed the last Titan's demise. Mere moments would pass when the sound of rapidly approaching grinding cables rang from nearby. The sound was quickly accompanied by a small group; last survivors of the multidimensional struggle. Leading the forefront was a woman with black hair, the same one from the Rooftop they appeared on. She stopped with her troops just short of the scene: dead bad guys and living (good?) guys. She kept her blood encrusted blades out but put them at her sides. All her soldiers were wounded to varying degrees, but at least all could stand. "My name is Mikasa. Mikasa Ackerman. I don't know who you people are, or how you can do what you do... but you've helped us. I don't know why. Who are you? Did you bring these monsters here?...and you're wearing our maneuvering gear," she pointed at Ocelot, then noticed he wasn't wearing a uniform. "But I get the feeling you aren't exactly one of my men." Her soldiers were well trained. Despite being battle weary, they stood tall and proud at attention.

Starlord gathered as many onlookers as one could expect from a man in a jetpack; even Mikasa couldn't pretend not to notice. The Sorcerers, quiet amidst the backdrop of destruction, went appropriately unnoticed. "The monsters were not brought by us. They likely appeared because the universes are collapsing, my own connection to these worlds has begun to weaken. I fear the monsters may be more frequent from here on in, assuming this universe does not collapse of course." He said, slowly, as he began to meditate himself in an attempt to see just how strained his connection to his spirits were.

Citizens seemed oddly relieved to find that Felix and Bigsby were humanlike, just as they were. Impressed by many factors, they wondered where such skill originated. They also wondered where creatures such as Spawn and Kain originated, demonic as they were in appearance. All things considered, all the strangers helped and asked for nothing in return. Mostly nothing, that is.
"I killed many myself today," she began slowly, "but your count is definitely impressive. I think it might even impress the King enough to move him to payment. If money is all you seek, I'm sure you'll find it..." She pointed toward the city's heart, another section of dwellings and structures surrounded by yet more walls, just as tall as the outer wall. "You people say you are lost and you're talking about worlds collapsing..." she paused. She was going to need more than that, but hope didn't flee her. "If I can help you find your way, I will. You might think our home is shitty, but it's our home." Her last sentence was mostly for Spawn's insult. "I hope you'll excuse the stares... we've never seen a... person like you."
Mikasa regarded Kain with a nod of respect. Despite his vampiric appearance, she looked him in the eye. Not everything was as it seemed, and she was no stranger to monsters. "I hope all vampires where you come from are this cordial. I welcome you all officially to our city. Mind the giants." She turned to Udyr, commenting, "It's good to know you didn't bring that army to our doorstep. But you both appear at almost the same time. It can't be a coincidence." Udyr found his connection strong enough to use the spirits power, but all communication was strained. By the end of Bigby's dialogue with Felix, clothes were brought forth: more than he needed, but citizens brought them for him nonetheless. A sad amount of people were distracted or amused by his nudity, but Mikasa and the Survey Corps maintained composure.

"......."
Satsuki in the meanwhile would be doing reconnaissance of a sorts. One tied to examination of the Titan bodies, already disintegrating into dust. The other was a perusal of the countryside, looking at the aftermath of a Bigby cyclone.
"......"
She had seen enough and would walk back in time to catch the tail end of Mikasa and her words, along with a frank, open appraisal of the corps she brought.

Kaldur showed up a little late, and just listened without adding to the cacophony of voices already trying to speak. The so-called sheriff he liked, but some of the others he wasn't so sure of, in part because they seemed so sure of themselves already.
If at any point there came an opportunity to split up into teams, he would suggest it, as it was hard enough keeping track of who was who, despite everyone constantly introducing themselves.

' Spawn's shroud loomed over the members of the Survey Corps and Mikasa but he'd keep his distance otherwise. His eyes flared at her response to his quip however and he'd turn away from those gathered. "Yeah? Well for your sake I hope you don't see any more of my kind. Hellspawn aren't exactly the greatest of beings.." Spawn said simply.

Star lord coasted back down to the road, hands up in a calm gesture and an easy grin "Please, please, hold your applause, just doing what any badass bandit guardian of the Galaxy would do." he said before listening to Bigby, Felix, and Mikasa in turn "..."
Ok, so a few things.
1. This Felix guy was like, A grade asshole. 100% dick even.
2. The wolf guy apparently saw him kill somebody?
3. The wolf guy was pretty damn scary looking what with the hurricane force sneezing and turning into a fifteen foot wolf or something.
4. He really preferred that scary guys, especially scary guys who considered themselves moral like this man... err... wolf... man combo thing apparently did, not only not have a reason to dislike him, but preferably actually liked him. Gave you some freebie points for when you occasionally let your perfectly legitimate and natural vices get the better of you
So, all this in mind, he strolled over and put an arm around Felix' shoulder as they walked. "Hey there my man in shared professions, nice job out there and all. But uh, I think you might be coming off a little too harsh if you actually wanna see any cash. Which, to be honest, might not even be worth anything to you because currency amirite? So all you're really doing is making it a whole lot harder for these people to trust us which, in case I'm not crazy and you don't belong on this world anymore than I do, might not be the best course of action if we all want to get back to wherever our usual mode of currency is, you know, valid. So he's my suggestion, and hear me out si-"
*BZZT* *BZZT* *BZZT* *BZZT* *BZZT* ... *BZZT*
He spun his blaster back into the holster after the quick draw into half a dozen stun setting blasts (Since 1. killing people for no damn reason wasn't exactly cool and 2. for all he knew they needed all of the outsiders to get back home with whatever the hell was happening), letting go of Felix's shoulder and giving him a a pat on the back which, if it all worked out, sent him slowly falling face first to the ground. He glanced back to the rest and shrugged. "Oh man uh, sorry my finger slipped and, heheh, whoops! Don't worry don't worry I'll carry him." and he did just so, heaving him over a shoulder to carry him along to wherever they were going. with some difficulty "what the hell is this armor made out of badassium?"

Annoyed at being ignored by Bigby, he stayed upon the roof as the battle was won. He was impressed at the work, best of all it meant he didn't have to risk his life.
Maybe staying subtle will be easier than I thought if things are this easy, Ocelot notes. The battle was far from easy, if the corpses on both sides could be entioned but his 'friends' seemed to pack a punch. Ocelot toyed around with the logistics of his new toy. When Mikasa showed up, he listened in calmly until she said her peace. He hops off once everyone else was done talking to Mikasa and onto their own antics. He motions for her attention, speaking in a southern drawl to accentuate the western motif- seemed like it'd fit in just fine.
"You don't mind if I keep this, do you?" he requests, deciding it'd be best to try making more friends for later. "The other guy didn't seem to need it, I picked up a little bit on the fly, but working out the details solo isn't easy" he says, hoping to infer some assistance figuring out the rest wouldn't be too bad..

The Survey Corps and the citizens stared, awestruck at the apparent betrayal. Those soldiers standing near the accusations between Felix and Bigsby would understand the undertone of murder, but the people further out murmured amongst themselves as Starlord shot the assassin in the back and carried the body. Just who were these people? The Corps tried not to mind Spawn's ominous shroud looming above them, but it was undoubtedly unsettling. Toward his reply, Mikasa started, "Either way, you saved lives today. That can only be good." She turned to Ocelot and paused before nodding approvingly. "For a moment, it bothered me... but your competency alone with gear like that is enough to earn it." With that, she passed on a few tips to ease his use. Suddenly, in front of Mikasa, a golden ring appeared just like the ones the heroes had received. She gawked at it for a few moments in wonder before extending an arm and grabbing it. It was warm, and read: Preservation. After she touched it, the sky blackened and rippled above. Wind began to howl and swirl, while periodic thunder broke the monotony. "What's happening?" ...What is this..." she murmured mostly to herself, staring at the ring now. The other Survey Corps soldiers glanced between Mikasa and the sky uneasily. People were panicking now. Nobody seemed to have an answer for what was happening, but there was a particularly noticeable sound being carried by vicious unnatural gusts. A sound not many would be able to decipher: A wheezing, whirring grind that almost pulsed. Then the sky cracked yet again, just like before. And like before, a new world shone through. A world of silver leafed trees and fields of ruby grass... looming closer and closer, until a domed citadel came into sight amidst the oddly colored scenery.

"It would appear you have been drafted."
Satsuki remarked casually, standing firm as the world once more twisted and turned. Still in her signature pose, utterly calm. And then it all came together...An alien realm, twisted but inhabitable. At least, if the city ahead was any indication. And of course....
"Beware. A world without danger would not need a force field."
She remarked, already walking calmly for the city direction.
