It has been a couple of months since the events related to Rex Dangervest affected everyone's life and while everyone seemed to be doing good,there still was a certain figure that couldn't put everything behind and move on and that someone was none other than Emmet Brickowski,he has been having a hard time to sleep ever since and while none of his friends noticed because of his false display of optimism the truth was that he was worried most of the time.

During the night Emmet sneaked out of the bed that he shared with Lucy (making sure that he didn't disturb her rest) to spend most of his night time on his two decker couch while listening to the Everything is awesome song ,not only because it was his favorite song of all time but rather because now that he knew that Lucy was the main singer it made his heart melt every time he listened to it. One day while listening to the song at 3 of the morning he decided that he could go for a walk before heading back to bed in order to ease his mind a little bit,it would be ok as long as he came back before Lucy woke up.

After a few minutes of walking Emmet came across none other than Batman himself,he wasn't surprised because,well Batman was a night person.

"Hey kid how's everything going?" Batman asked with an uncharacteristic smile on his face.

Emmet thought about lying for a second but he opted for being honest with his friend.

"Well truth to be told Batman,I'm somewhat worried...for Lucy"

"Is something wrong with her?" Batman asked with concern.

"It's not that" Emmet rushed to say "it's just that...well,I...I want to be a better version of myself to make her happy and avoid becoming someone like" Emmet was then interrupted by a loud thump that came from the distance. Emmet and Batman witnessed how a pile of smoke began to rise from the place where the thump was originated from,it was pretty far away from their current location so Batman called the batmobile that arrived within seconds and they headed to the place in order to investigate the mysterious accident.

Once they arrived Emmet couldn't give credit to what he was seeing,it was like a nightmare becoming a reality,before them was The Rexcelsior partially buried in the wasteland's sand after it's crash and with some flames,smoke and sparks coming out of it, neither of them wasted a second to approach the crater that was formed by the two master builders saw a figure emerge from the smoking debris of the ship "I totally planned that" Rex lied to no one in particular as he walked out of the crash site only to find himself in front of a terrified Emmet and an intimidating Batman.

"You're coming with us" said Batman with a menacing tone and tossed a pair of handcuffs to Emmet "cuff him" he ordered and Emmet complied."We will take him to the Batcave,we have to hurry while everyone is still sleeping,we wouldn't want to make everyone panic,we have to figure out why he's back before telling the others" Emmet just nodded in agreement.

- A few minutes later at the Batcave-

Emmet saw Batman meditating intensely on his chair for quite a while now surprised that he have not began an interrogation upon Rex yet,so he finally decided to ask:

"Is something wrong Bruce?"

"I would think so Emmet,why did he just let us capture him without a fight,even more so without even saying a single word?,I was going to ask him straight away but from what I've heard about him I might need something else to make him talk"

" I really don't know why he came with us just like that without a fight,last time he almost broke me,he probably would have killed me if I wasn't him"

"If I may interrupt" said Rex from his cell "the reason of why I gave up without a fight it's because this time I came to avoid a catastrophe not to cause one,I want to warn you about"

"Let me stop you right there" Batman interrupted "Why would we have a reason to believe that you have good intentions and this is not some kind of overly complex plan of revenge?"

"Well in the first place,if my intentions were seeking revenge I would have brought my velociraptors with me,I didn't and second I could have just crashed my ship right into the city"

Emmet then joined the conversation "but you don't have a reason to exist,Lucy destroyed your time machine and came back for me,you are not supposed to be here"

"I would wish that I didn't have a reason to exist kid" Rex replied with a visible tone of sadness making Emmet feel pity for him but Batman was not buying any of it.

"Enough of your games!,you will tell us why you are here in this exact moment!".

Lucy was worried,when she woke up she noticed the absence of her boyfriend on their bed,the kitchen or any other part their house,she thought that maybe he went out to get her something for breakfast,after all that was something very sweet that she could easily picture him doing but after waiting for him to return for a couple of hours the image of him walking in with a wide smile and something to eat it became just a hope that died after the clock announced that it was midday she thought that maybe he could have planned to hang around with Benny,Metal Beard,Bad cop,Unikitty or maybe even Sweet Mayhem and he simply forgot to tell her but after she headed out and asked all of them about Emmet they said that neither of them have seen him nor Batman for that matter making her deduce that they must have being somewhere together,after hours of all of them searching for the construction worker and the dark knight the quest came to an end once everyone saw both of them traveling together in the batmobile,batman stepped out with Emmet when he saw everyone gathered around the vehicle.

Batman had his usual serious expression painted on his face but Emmet on the other hand was wearing a tired expression complemented with a pair of eye what everyone was going to ask him Batman stated "We will explain everything to everyone in due time but for now the kid needs some rest,also I need to have some equipment ready for all of us so we can be properly prepared for the exploration,so Wildstyle you take him home and make sure that he has a good sleep and something to eat afterwards,everyone else we are going to the Batcave and Wildstyle if you happen to come across Mayhem tell her to call me,I haven't been able to contact her and my queen told me that she is not aware of Mayhem´s current whereabouts"

Lucy was going to protest about going to the Batcave too so she could know what was that exploration all about,but she thought that Emmet's wellbeing was more important right now so she took him to their house while everyone else went with Batman.
