Zac and Kelly entered the Wayward Center through the back door so that they would not attract unneeded attention due to the fact that they were wearing multicolored super-hero costumes. While Zac entered into the building fine, Kelly accidentally struck her head on the top of the doorframe since she had not entirely become accustomed to her new height. Fortunately, Kelly’s extra-durable skin had reformed since her height had changed overnight. However, the doorframe could not say the same, resulting in a dent on the top portion of it.

“Oops...” Kelly whimpered, slightly embarrassed that she had just hit her own head on top of a doorframe, something she would have never though she would ever do in her life. All Zac could do was laugh, stretching out his hand to her. However, when she took his hand, instead of pulling her up, Zac was pulled down to the ground because of Kelly’s strength, landing right on top of her. After realizing what had just happened, both of them just broke out in laughing. After they had laughed together at their own expense, the young couple rose to their feet and went into the main room of the Wayward Center.

Alice was sitting at a table that was located at the side of the room. With a worried face, she was staring at a newspaper that sat on the table. One of the headlines read ‘Old Man Found Dead in the Lost Haven Bay’.

“What’s wrong?” Zac asked, perceiving the sadness in Alice’s face. While he knew that it was none of his business; nevertheless, he thought it would be the right thing to do.

“Oh, it’s nothing. It was only one of the people who stayed here a while back, a blind old man. However, according to the news, they found someone of the same description in the bay just on the edge of the city. Apparently, he died of illness.”

“Did the old man have a little boy as his guide?” Zac asked, wondering whether the old man was the same person as Tiresias, the elderly man who had teleported Zac into some ‘dream world’ where there were alternate versions of himself (and Kelly, although he never saw the dreamverse version of her).

“Why yes, he did have a little child guiding him. How did you know that?”

“Well,” Zac started, trading a glance with his girlfriend, “Um, about five months ago, we ran into a man who called himself Tiresias, who had the power to place people inside other’s dreams. Before we met him, Kelly and I both were injected with some experimental serum that gave us our powers. However, the formula had not been perfected, so our health started to deteriorate. However, once Tiresias was forced to teleport me into that ‘dream world’ by the people who did this to us,” Zac motioned towards how their bodies were changed, “the, um, inhabitants of the ‘dream world’ somehow cured the deteriorating effects of the serum. Does that make any sense?”

Alice nodded. “You would be surprised with what I see come through those doors. Anyways, let’s see what we can do about getting you two home.”

Suddenly, a tiny, bright light in the shape of an oval appeared in the center of the room. It kept growing and growing until it had the height of an average man. Finally, once the oval had grown to full size, a man stepped out. He was dressed like a hobo, wearing old, worn-out clothes and gloves with the fingers cut out.

“Stan,” Alice said, leaping out of her chair, “How many times did I tell you not to do that where people could be? You don’t know what would happen if someone was at the same place where your vortex would appear.”

However, Stan just ignored her protest. “The Wayward Center’s most frequent visitor arrives and there's not a warm welcoming?”

“Um,” Kelly began to say, scratching her head “Could anyone explain what just happened?”

“Easily,” Stan exclaimed, “I’m the Master of Time and Space, just like that Chinese dude on [i]Heroes[/i], minus the ‘Time’ part because I cannot time travel. But I can travel over space! I just create a wormhole between point A and point B and presto! Instant transportation!”

“Wait,” Zac replied, “Could you teleport me and Kelly back to Albany State College?”

“Of course I could get you guys to, um, where did you say?”

“Albany State College...” Zac muttered.

“Oh, yes, Albany State College. Um, if you don’t mind showing me where that is on a map? Or some type of picture? I kind of don’t want to land in a wall.”

“I would use my smartphone,” Kelly said, but she started to rub the sides of her legs where pockets would normally be on normal pants, “But super-hero spandex doesn’t really allow room for carrying one’s cell phones.”

“Well, you could use the desktop that we have here at the Wayward Center.” Alice said. Once Zac and Kelly found their apartment on Google Maps, Stan, while was staring at the computer monitor, clinched his hands together, causing a bright light to appear within his closed grip. In one fluid motion, he pulled his hands apart vertically, causing a portal similar to the one in which he arrived at the Wayward Center. He stuck a stick that he was carrying with him into the portal to test it, just to make sure that no one would get stuck in a wall or something along those lines.

“Is this your apartment?”

Zac reluctantly stuck his head through the portal, wondering if it was a smart idea to thrust his head through some weird portal. However, since he has already been teleported to some type of ‘dream world’, this couldn’t hurt either. On the other side of the portal was indeed their apartment, although someone cleaned up everything so that no one might suspect that Zac and Kelly had been kidnapped. Whoever the scientist was whom Zac met at Five Guys made sure that there was no evidence left to point back to him or anyone else.

“Yep, that’s our place.” Zac told Stan. “And Alice, thanks for letting us stay overnight. It meant a lot for both Kelly and me.” Kelly nodded, showing that she agreed with Zac sentiment.

“It was no problem,” Alice replied, “But before you go, I want to give Kelly these clothes I was able to gather up for her. Since she has probably outgrown her whole wardrobe besides her super-hero costume, I thought it would be quite useful to have a pair of civilian clothes that actually fit.” She handed the pair of clothes over to Kelly. In the stack of clothes was a long dress, which stopped at the hips so that Kelly could both hide her wasp abdomen and allow her arms to not be stuck underneath any clothing, and a nice shirt, which was loose at the bottom so that it would not constrict her arms.

Kelly and Zac said thanks and gave their goodbyes. Then the entered through the portal, teleporting them back to their apartment in Albany. Once they had fully entered their apartment, the wormhole behind them collapsed, disappearing from their sight.

On the coffee table next to the couch was Kelly’s phone, which had just begun to ring. 

“I better take this. It’s my mom and apparently she has already tried to call me ten times already.” Kelly picked up the phone, answered the call, and slipped into their bedroom so that she might have some privacy while talking to her mom, no doubt about what had just happened to her and how it go all over YouTube.

Zac changed out of his super-hero costume and back into his normal clothes. He also placed the power-nullifying band around his wrist again, returning his appearance back to normal. Zac took a seat on the couch, intending to watch some television until Kelly go off the phone with her mother. However, the doorbell rung, which meant that Zac was not going to be relaxing just yet. When he opened the door, he discovered, to his surprised, that both his parents were at his doorstep.
