At Zack's reply, Rex began to wonder about a couple of things - one, if Zack needed a girlfriend, and two, how special his own nanites were to have people fight over them as well. Upon reaching the lab, Rex then realized how at home he felt in this place, even though he had never seen it before. Everything around him was different, yet so familiar. It was not just the level of technology, but the people as well, particularly the agents and the busy scientist woman at the computer. He literally had a suited agent and a scientist in a lab coat as his caretakers back at Providence, after all. He was a little less fascinated by the others who had seemed to have come from different times and places, though, perhaps that would not have been the case if he had not already been told that these people had all been brought in from different worlds.

R simply raised an eyebrow when the armored ball vanished, knowing that it was the least of their worries. [color=00aeef]"Huh, I guess he isn't interested."[/color]

Meanwhile, J was responding to Link, who continued to express her interest in 'adventuring'. [color=fff200]"I... guess you could ask them yourself?"[/color]

Lena, who was the only one who had not been informed of the project, was rather overwhelmed by the strangeness of this block. People were wielding equipment, wearing clothing, and using abilities and technology she had never seen in her life. She hardly had the time to ponder over it much, however, for a blond man then spoke to her and Raven and requested to be brought to the place of interest.

"I can't take all of you there, at least not quickly," the Seijin replied, before turning to Raven. "But I don't know if she can. She's the one who brought both herself and me back here with her powers almost immediately."

It was not long before a couple of others jumped in to offer their support, and R decided it was time to give them all a little more detail about how things worked at HQ. [color=00aeef]"Sweet! I'm loving the enthusiasm. Just let us run up to Main Ops so that we can look through any other reports on the attack that have come in, and then we'll fly all of you over since you're keen to have this as your first investigation with us."[/color]

However, the conversation was interrupted when Cloud suddenly proceeded to drag J out of the lab and speak to her in an unexpectedly aggressive manner. R listened to his words in alarm, for he was the one who had found both Cloud and Zack. He dashed out after them in hopes of diffusing the situation.

[color=fff200]"Dead? That's impossible. That [i]is[/i] your friend! Tell him, R!"[/color] J called to her partner in panic as he emerged from the lab.

[color=00aeef]"It really is Zack, Cloud, I promise you. Apparently, I entered into different points in time in your world when I found you both separately. I didn't think it was possible, but that seems like the only feasible explanation. I'm really sorry you had to come from a time when Zack is... no longer with you, but this has nothing to do with her, so please let her go."[/color]
