The vortex that 5-Kay Newt tore into space-time proved slow to close but at least top scientists had managed to get it to stop hoovering up stuff in one universe and spewing it into another. For now, it remained a loose board in the picket fence between one reality and another.
The scientists were certain that the fabric of space-time would heal and the portal between universes would eventually close, probably. But as long as it was open (and not threatening to unravel the fabric of existence), Sammy Stella could repay the favor to Sammy Stella and show her around her own reality. It was the least she could do for other-her after that nice beach vacation.
Sammy Stella was a short goat and the superhero known as the bouyant Ballistic Gal!
And the Sammy Stella she'd met through the vortex was a tall shark known as the terrific Torpedo Gal!
They had a lot in common. Most things in common! Nearly everything in common! They were practically twins! Sisters from different universisses.
So Sammy took Sammy on a tour of her Almasi City, feeling fairly certain that whatever she thought to share, her counterpart would like.
Still, much like how one was a shark and the other was a goat, their respective Almasi Cities also had some differences. Shark Sammy gazed in wonder at a slightly different skyline. That her favorite sushi place was here a greasy diner. That the expected buff, shirtless statues in honor of King Leopold were absent.
It was a familiar yet somewhat alien environment for shark Sammy.
Although, one simple thing would make it feel more like home to the alternate Sammy. And Almasi City provided.
The two heroes had paused for a break. While shark Sammy spritzed herself with a bottle mister to keep her skin from drying out, goat Sammy enjoyed a pretzel from an owl-run stand.
"It is odd," shark Sammy said suddenly.
"What's odd, T.G.?" asked goat Sammy.
"Two superheroes walking around, enjoying a nice, quiet day. And nothing interrupting that?"
"That is odd!" agreed Sammy. "Sudden trouble always happens unexpectedly but most often when heroes try to relax!"
Tempting fate by wondering why they hadn't yet tempted fate, the two heroes heard a loud crash!
As pedestrians screamed and scattered out of the way of the big footsteps, a giant of a crocodile strolled by, carrying two armored trucks tucked under each of his armpits. "NOW THIS IS WHAT I CALL WALKING AROUND MONEY! GOOD ONE, GARGANTUJUAN, WHY THANK YOU GARGANTUJUAN!"
The giant croc dropped one of the armored cars to give himself a high five, swore, and then scooped it up again.
"This looks like a job for-" Sammy and Sammy started to say simultaneously. They both started to laugh and then dashed into a convenient alley to ditch their civilian clothes.
The crocodile felt a small but surprisingly impactful object bounce off his snout and came to a surprised stop.
Landing on the pavement in front of him was a tiny little person. Hard to make out details. He thought he saw a cape. Probably some kinda superhero!
Gargantujuan scoffed. "JUST ONE OF YOU? AIN'T ENOUGH TO STOP A GUY AS BIG AS HOW BIG I AM!"
Another figure landed next to the first.
"Make that two!" proclaimed the terrific Torpedo Gal.
"TWO OF YOU??" Gargantujuan squinted. "ARE YOU THE SAME PERSON? IS THIS ONE OF THEM CLONE SAGAS?"
"It's multiverse stuff!" proclaimed the one he thought was maybe a short deer.
"I may just be a tourist in your world but whether my Almasi or hers, I'll protect it from ne'er-do-wells!" said the one that might have been a dolphin. Gargantujuan needed glasses. But where would he find a big enough optometrist? Maybe, if he had glasses, he wouldn't have turned to a life of chugging experimental serums to try to seek viral fame. And then a life of crime.
"BUZZ OFF, TINY HEROES! OR I'LL SEE HOW FAR I CAN KICK YOU! PROBABLY VERY!"
The two heroes posed together. "The bigger they are, the harder they fall!"
"THAT'S AN URBAN LEGEND!" lied Gargantujuan.
The two heroes burst forward simultaneously and punched Gargantujuan in the knee.
He toppled over. "OW, I FELL SO HARD! THIS SUCKS! THE RUMORS WERE ACTUALLY TRUE!"

Having sharkified my goat for a YCH, I now had an alternate Sammy design. So it seemed a fun idea to get her and Sammy posing together in costume. Doing a team-up crossover. Crisis on Earth Whichever.
I was going to have Torpedo Gal Sammy wear the same outfit as goat Sammy but Amaterasu pointed out that a cape wouldn't make much sense underwater and offered to do a little aquatic redesign on the basic outfit.
For the story, I had all kinds of ideas but settled on shark Sammy just coming for a nice visit. And it being a nice visit! But one superhero visiting another superhero just isn't complete if they don't get to punch something together. So a villain very considerately wanders by, doing some crime and some menacing. Turning a good visit into a great one!
Sammy and Sammy immediately got along great and that continues to be the case.
If 5-Kay Newt and 5-Kay Boot meet, I'm sure it will be more contentious.
