Investigation 1

[afterthesky]

[Action for 2238 Stevens Road]

Sarah Jane wakes up rather confused. This wasn't where she was when she woke up. Had she been teleported?

She looks around the house, trying to work out where she is. She quickly comes across the family pictures.]

That's not Luke... is this the Trickster's doing?

[Open action]

[Later in the day, Sarah Jane is continuing her investigations. You might find her:

A. In the shopping district, trying to find a decent newspaper.

B. In the street, patiently explaining to a drone that her name is most certainly not "Mrs. Black".

C. At the library, growing distressed at how much information there isn't.]

[Lily was out and about, thinking of going to visit Sirius when she overhears this woman talking about how she's not Mrs. Black. That's caught her attention.]

Sorry to intrude, but why would they think your name's Mrs. Black?

There's a Sirius Black, but even if I had met him before in my life...

He's a friend of my husband and me, but he's certainly not married. Not back home, anyway. This place, Mayfield, it's very odd. There's a lovely girl named Kagura who lives in the same house as James and I, and we're supposedly her parents, but I only had one son....

Something definitely isn't right. There are two children who claim I'm their mother, but neither of them is my actual son.

Not in the least. This place is absolutely mad.

Ah... sorry. My name's Lily Potter. I live over at... 1646 Albright Lane, yes, that was it.

Sarah Jane Smith.

I'll keep your proper surname in mind. [Smiling, Lily takes her hand and shakes it.]

[A thought occurs to Sarah Jane, with all the kidnapping going on]

If you and your husband are both here, is there someone who will step in to look after your son?

Re: B

I've been told my sister and her family looked after our son. [deep breath... this still isn't easy to say] You see... before we found ourselves here, we were killed. I didn't know Harry survived until I found out James was here. Some girl told him that he had grown up and... he was here. I've been looking for Harry since then, but I haven't had any luck for the past week and a half....

I... hope you find him soon.

[Sarah Jane can't help remembering her own time travel induced meeting with her parents... also in the 1950s]

I'm sure it will mean the world to him to meet you.

Re: B

Thank you, Ms. Smith.

I hope... I don't scare him or anything.

Well, waking up here is surprise enough. He might find your presence comforting.
