[ steve is speeding down the highway, uncertain of exactly where this new person is in his horizon domain, but knowing this place well enough to work his way through it. it's not someone he recognizes, that much he's certain, but at the same time that doesn't narrow things down. steve's more aware than anyone how small his circle is while he's here, and if it's not eddie, geralt, or wanda, steve isn't sure he'd actually be able to recognize them.
( well, maybe nero, but he hasn't actually hung out with nero here in the horizon, so he's not 100% sure. )
still, for now, he knows the direction. he knows the approximate area. so steve sets his bab into gear and speeds further a little faster, feeling the machine creak under him.
as the last moment, he swerves off the road, taking a side road further into the trees. it's not his normal route, not anythig he'd do if he was just driving through, but there is very little about all this that is normal at this point. for now, steve drives as far as he thinks he needs to go, pushing closer and closer to whatever it is he's feeling, until the very last minute.
jo, just ahead of her, will see an old (by her standards) bmw come into view, slamming on its breaks and drifting through the underbrush and dust. it doesn't seem all that worried about the vines as it drives over them, coming to a stop just ahead of her, as steve leans over and throws open the passenger door. ]
Get in! Let's go!
[ she doesn't know that this whole entrance is a lot cooler than anything steve would be willing to do in the real world, but hey. until he figures a way back home, there really isn't a real world, is there?
it does appear that steve picked the right time to do this, as moments after he calls out to her, there is a kind of roar from behind her. it seems the creature has picked up on her scent, and it's not slowing down. ]
