A deafening crack of lightning, white and wrong, split the sky above Central Park. The ground shuddered, and when the smoke cleared, eight figures from the pages of history stood in a scorched circle of grass, blinking at a world of impossible glass towers and buzzing devices.

Franklin Roosevelt adjusted his glasses with a steady hand, while Joseph Stalin's cold eyes darted from face to face, calculating. The air crackled not just with ozone, but with a century's worth of enmity, now rendered absurd by their shared, profound displacement.
