Chapter 1 [Middleton, CO—An hour after the end of "Connecting the Dots"]
The stars shown in the clear dark skies over Middleton on that early Friday morning just following midnight. A couple of birds sang a lonely tune. A few squirrels scampered after acorns. However the majority of animals and humans slept in the Denver suburb, recharging their batteries for the following day.
Kim's purple car appeared in an emerald poof, jarring those few eyes who saw it. Inside, the five teenagers were trying to deal with the fact that they'd been in Smallville, Kansas only a minute earlier.
"Thanks for the assist, Alicia. Appreciate you and the others keeping us out of trouble with the parents," the red head expressed.
As she undid her seat belt, the slender blonde in the passenger seat smiled and shrugged. "My pleasure, Kim." She scanned the area around them. "This is the right place?"
"That's her house all right," Rick agreed. "I'm looking forward to some fairly normal sleep." He covered his mouth to stifle a yawn. "Excuse me."
"Domo, Baker San," Yori added.
"No problem, guys." Alicia got out of the car. "Remember to let Agents Petersen and Singleton know when your class gets to the museum. Thanks for settling things before we left too." With that, she disappeared in another green poof.
"That's cool!" Ron assessed.
"It is indeed, Ron San," Yori agreed while checking him over. Now that they'd left Smallville and the weird energies in that town, he seemed normal again. "You seem better."
"The Ron Man's ready for action!" Ron bragged.
"YEAH!" Rufus cheered.
Kim smirked. "Unless you want your parents in on that, Ron, you'd best get home. Besides, there's Barkin too."
"Oh sure! Bring him up!" Ron groused.
"Maybe you'd rather deal with Dubois' alter ego again?" Rick supposed.
Recalling how the Protector had easily dealt with them just hours before, he shook his head. "I'll take Barkin."
"It will be all right, Ron San. Come. It will be our honor to walk to your house for tonight," Yori responded.
"Man! Where are my skates when I need 'em?" Ron complained.
His GF giggled. "You and your American style jokes, Ron San!" She took his hand and led him away from the car.
"See ya tomorrow!" Ron called.
After the two ninja had left, Rick asked, "Guess it's time to face the black hole, huh?"
Kim shook her head. "I called from Lex's place. Dad's good with us. Come on. You can get the couch."
Couch again. Terrific! He followed her into the house while keeping the complaints to himself. Right at the moment, any place to sleep was a good thing.
