Summary: Jane and Quinn find themselves in the middle of nowhere, suddenly forced into a mission across the world to find an airport, while their counterparts Maura and Rachel are left to do the same. They must find one another before they can return home.

Author’s Note: This is my sister’s fault. She saw a post that someone should write mapcrunch fanfiction, and this was born. I might continue it, I kind of think this could be fun.

“…the hell?” A lanky brunette mumbled, splayed out on the sidewalk with a stranger’s elbow in her ribs.

“Where am I?” A voice, most likely belonging to the elbow’s owner, piped up. 

Jane glanced toward the voice to see the girl trying to put herself together. Her hair was a disheveled pink mess - Jane took one look at her heavy boots and was grateful that those hadn’t come into contact with her ribs.

“Who’re you?” Jane cocked an eyebrow at the teen, and the movement was mirrored perfectly by the girl.

“I could ask you the same thing. Quinn.” The blonde peered around the area, frowning when she didn’t recognize any of her surroundings.

“The last thing I remember, I was under the bleachers with Rachel…what is this place?” Quinn wouldn’t put it past the tiny girl to chloroform her in order to get her to come back to Glee. Well, no, that wasn’t true, she was just telling Quinn that she would be there whenever she was ready-

“Quinn, huh? I’m Jane.” The brunette found her badge and gun at her hip, but her phone was gone. She grumbled, before looking up at the teen.

“Under the bleachers? How old are you, kid?” Jane didn’t bother to ask what she had been doing under the bleachers with whoever Rachel was.

“Oh, I’m a senior in high school.” Quinn was not about to divulge her exact age, she still wasn’t sure that this woman hadn’t kidnapped her somehow without her knowledge.

“Right. Well, I was in my colleague’s office getting the cold shoulder over lab results before I ended up here.” Jane furrowed her eyebrows, recalling Maura’s demeanor as of late. She was still thoroughly upset after that damn FBI agent had used her information and shot Maura’s biological father. 

Quinn didn’t comment on the way the lady said ‘colleague’.

“Where is here, anyway?” Quinn asked, checking her pockets for her belongings and coming up with a device that she had never seen before.

“What…?”

The screen lit up suddenly, and a red-haired woman appeared, drawing both Jane and Quinn’s attention.

“Is this thing on…? Hello?” She looked up at them through the screen, grinning when they seemed to be listening.

“I was wondering when you two would find it! Hi, I’m Claudia Donovan.” The woman went on, gesturing around herself to indicate the device Quinn was holding.

“This is the Mapcruncher. For whatever reason, you stumbled upon one of these, and you are now stranded in the middle of who knows where.” The redhead tried to hide an excited smile, knowing the adventure that the devices brought.

“Your goal is to find your way to an airport, and to make your way home. This device will show you a map of your location, but it won’t tell you where you are. Your…uh…counterparts…have the other device, and they must be reunited before you can return home.” Claudia was vague in her wording, as the adventurers had to figure out the full gist of things on their own. It couldn’t be that hard.

“Don’t try cheating, either, you can only see the map on the device and nothing else. There’s no internet connection, and if we need to get a message to you, we will. Good luck!” The girl threw them a thumbs up and the screen switched to a display of a map.

Quinn and Jane stood, confused, just as their counterparts stirred awake somewhere halfway across the planet.
