Michelle shook her head.
"Sadly, no. I was going to ask you that, but it looks like I have my answer already."
She shifted in her chair, clearly frustrated by that fact.
"I know that in this world, things can be very...mystical. I've wondered if it was less of a dream and more of a vision."

The chill intensified.
"I think it was a vision," she said, almost too softly to hear. "But I'm not sure what it means. Someone's going to try and kill me?"

"An assassin. Maybe not that assassin, but sometime in the future your life will be threatened."
Michelle had been doing some reading on the subject, and from what she'd gathered, while dreams were never exactly what they seemed to be, visions were a bit easier to decode. Not easy, just easier.
"Also, that woman, whoever she is, is in our future."

"Something about her...I feel like I should know her." Sarah said. It was really starting to bother her.
"Him, though. I, uh, know who he is. Sort of."

Michelle straightened in her seat. Now this was something. It wouldn't have been surprising if Michelle had known about him, considering her background, but the Queen?
"He's real? Who is he?" She demanded, forgetting to use the formal form of address in her eagerness.

How the HELL do I explain a comic character to someone from a world that doesn't have that stuff?
Deciding that honesty was the best policy, and knowing that Michelle was a very level-headed woman who would actually take it seriously, Sarah quickly gave Michelle a brief run-down on the Winter Soldier's backstory, leaving out the fact that he was actually Bucky Barnes. That hadn't been revealed to other 'verse characters yet. Still, at the end of it, she'd given Michelle a decent rundown about Captain America and his associated characters.

Michelle sat back, absorbing the information she'd just been given. She'd actually heard of Captain America, thanks to the news media of this land, but what she'd learned here sounded a lot more detailed than a newspaper would ever receive. After a moment, she realized that she really only had one question.
"How do you know this, your Grace?"

And there it was, the one question that Sarah always dreaded a character would ask her. Thankfully, she'd had time to consider how to respond, and had decided to tell at least a partial truth.
"I'm from another world, like you," she said, giving Michelle a smile. "And in my world, we have a lot of stories like that."

"There seems to be a lot of people from other worlds here. I've started to wonder if anyone is actually a native to these lands."

"Oh, yeah, I used to think that, too. There are folks from here, though."
She sighed.
"I just wish I knew why the Winter Soldier is even involved. I wasn't even a queen yet when I had that vision."

"Unfortunately, until an investigation can be made, we can only guess at what his involvement really is."
Michelle was already thinking of the contacts she could call. The supernatural community had information access that regular channels could only dream of. Surely someone or something out there would be have some information on this mysterious assassin.

Sensing what Michelle was thinking, Sarah became worried.
"Be careful. There's a lot more about him that I don't know. He's extremely dangerous."

Michelle gave her a small smile. The queen's concern was touching.
"Don't worry about me, your Grace. I've survived far worse than an assassin."
At that, Michelle got to her feet.
"I think it's time that I went on my way. There's work to do."

Sarah quickly got to her feet.
"Oh, of course! I wouldn't want to keep you. You'll come back, right?"

"Rest assured, your Grace, I'll have a report to give you," Michelle said with a bow. "I hope the rest of your day is a good one."
And, just as quickly as she'd appeared, she disappeared.
