Pen seemed to be proud of her crowd control skills. She watched the rest of the bystanders leave as Waffle sealed the portal up. Once that was down she turned to them again.
"Well lets find our way home shall we." Pen did a small bow and started her way down the street towards HQ.

Waffle and Sabe continued to walk with Pen towards HQ. Sabe was starting to remember more and more of the layout of Durem as they passed by all sorts of buildings and alleyways.

Pen had to admit that Alternate Durem looked about the same as normal. A few shops might be different but the layout was the same. It then occured to her that restaurant alternate herself had worked in was familar. After a little pondering she came up with why that was.
That was the alternate Bistro... Oh the chef isn't going to like that at all.
Finally the got back to base. The door seemed different like someone had dissembled some of the boards, that acted as a keep out, to get a large something in. Or out.
"Well we are home." Pen gestured to old hotel slash Black Ops Headquarters. "More or less I think."

They all walked into the Alternate HQ, and Waffle looked around, stunned, but still smiling. Sabe gasped as he fully remembered what happened, but then started coughing because of all of the dust everywhere.
"I take it that everyone else is off on their own, or am I mistaken?" Sabe asked in a raspy voice.

Pen chuckled seeing Sabe struggle. "The lobby was the first thing you saw when you arrive via orb, so I guess the lobby is all you needed to remember." She smiled and walked half way up stairs before calling out her answer.
"Let me find out if they aren't already here. Sabe since your memory is restored how about you escort Waffle to YOUR SHARED room." Pen was not giving up on her mission that she took on when Sabe arrived. This might be a good chance for them to step back and see their relationship more clearly.
She then ran up the stairs to check Lana's and the boss's room.

Sabe laughed nervously as he and Waffle headed over to their room in the alternate HQ. They walked into the room, and Waffle was already looking at each individual thing inside of the room.
A few things in particular stood out: the negligee in the closet which reminded her of her terrible seduction skills and her first real mission, the anime merch everywhere that reminded her of her past hobby before being regularly accepted into missions, and most importantly the portal machine on the other side of the room.
Her expression nearly deadpanned at the sight of it. There were a few letters tied to a foam ball in front of it, but when she opened them, they were all blank. She tried to activate the machine and it started to turn bright, but then fizzled out back into an inactive state. She looked bummed out, but Sabe walked up behind Waffle and instinctively hugged her.

Skotti Gallows Skotti stood and walked over to pick up Luciano's glasses "It's a hard truth, but it's not all that bad" Skotti picked them up off the floor and cleaned them. "I know it seems impossible to you know, but there is a place and a girl you need to meet, and it's not just you, it's Michelle too, she needs to come back with us" said skotti handing Luc his glasses and gathering his disheveled sidearms. Skotti tossed them in the open crate and closed it up as best he could. "You will want these later" he said tossing them in his car. Luciano took his glasses, putting them on, and then slowly getting to his feet. "I'll call her. Hopefully she isn't still in the meeting with Congress." He took out his mobile and then pressed Number One on his speed dial. "She's the Governer of Durem so she's always in a meeting or two- BUT she comes home whenever she feels like it, which is, like, a lot." He heard her mobile ring only once and it got to voice mail, "Hmm. . must still be in a meeting."

Pen came runnig down the steps as if she saw a ghost. Not only were Skotti's and Lana's replicas gone, but so was Luc's. If she was correct then the boss and Lana left to get Luc at the marine base.
There wasn't anyway of Pen knowing if Skotti and Lana true selves came out. They might have just took the things and left to confront Luc.
"Waffle! Sabe! I need to high tail it out of here! Stay or go it doesn't matter but I might be facing a crisis!" Pen ran instinctively to the garage forgetting the fact the likelihood of a vehicle being present was... very....
"How in the world did you get here?" She stood rather in awe as her bike in its rusty state leaned on a more rusty Luciano 's Ride.

Luciano nodded, "Yes. I suppose we should. Since I guess my ride isn't my real one. . ." Luciano quickly fixed up 'his car' and then he let out a sigh, "I'll tell her about what's going on myself."

Sabe and Waffle had reached the garage, finding Pen staring at her bike next to the car, both of them rusty. Sabe looked a little amused.
"It's wonderful how time travel messes everything up, isn't it?" he asked with some mild sarcasm.

"Not time travel exactly these are just the alternate versions of my poor poor bike." She walked towards it and saw the problems it had when she bought it were once again apparent. She gave a sad sigh and rolled it away to lean on a wall. She then looked at it for a moment, "poor poor bike."
she then turned back to get in the alternate version of Luc's car. Though the rust and lack of maintenance made it look like it was in bad shape, there wasn't much choice.
Pen sat down to turn the key in the ignition and oddly enough it roared to life. Though Luc's car had more of a purr this alternate had a clunk.
"Well get in we don't have much time as it is!"
----
Leo who didn't understand a thing of what was going on decided to offer some support.
"Do you need some back up Cuz?" He asked looking genuinely worried. "I mean when you go in to tell Michelle."

Waffle and Sabe got into the back seats of the car, although one of the two was wondering what exactly Pen meant by 'not much time' and 'facing a crisis'.

"Alright lets see if I remember where that Marine base was." Pen muttered as she gunned the bucket of bolts out of the garage and into the setting sun falling over Durem.
Never takes instructions well. Maybe it is the real Skotti.
(Kay thats it for my night! Night!)
