"I guess now is the time for that talk then."

At this point, they had gathered around the center fire pit. Now that both twins have calmed down from the little visit earlier it was time to make up for the past two years.

"A little clarification would be nice Roni. What exactly happened in the time I left you two alone?" asked Wilson.

The pendant glowed. "It's ok mom, I would have done the same to help you too."

She smiles a bit sadly. "Right, it was after you left Will. Vincent was sick and the doctors had given up. At that point, I would have agreed to anything, especially a mysterious voice from the radio. It asked what I would do to save him and I agreed. This world was the result."

"Wait, then what about Vincent?" asked Willow. "He doesn't exactly look better stuck like that."

She shook her head. "He was handed to me like this. A loophole if I've ever seen one. Though I don't think our dear Maxwell expected me to be finding the secrets of this thing. I've been spending two years trying to get him back to normal."

"It's not so bad. Plus I can protect mom more like this. Especially if that meanie butt comes back."

Wilson laughed at his nephew's antics. At least he doesn't seem too affected by this world. He seemed hesitant though.

Whatever it is, it can't be that bad. Whatever deal you made I'm not going to judge you brother.

"I guess it's my turn then." Willow looks to Wilson with a bit surprised.

"Hey Wilson, as much as I'm curious about how you got here, you've never said before. We can do this another time if you need to." Willow looked a bit concerned

Wilson smiled at her. "No, it's about time I said it. Though this is nothing as grand as wanting to help someone or anything like that. It's just, the consequences of hubris and desperation."

"Now, throw the switch."

At first, the knowledge that flowed into his head and the excitement building something like this was nice. Though after looking at this thing, the idea seemed less ok. The machine looked more like a face than anything.

What was it that his sister always said. Look before you leap. Would this really lead to knowing what really happened? Would it even work?

"Maybe this isn't such a good..."

"Do it!" He jumped at the radio voice yelling. He was alone anyway. If he was gonna get to the truth about his sister he had to have made something that worked. He pulled the leaver.

As soon as he did black hands shot up and grabbed him. "What in the world?!" Then he was dragged into the darkness.

She sighed as Wilson finished up his side of the story. "Yet this all comes down to when I was taken."

He just shook his head. "No Roni, I was the one who asked for this stupid forbidden knowledge without considering the consequences."

She just laughed instead of countering. "So we go full circle. We're only human with desires and wants. It's no one's fault that Maxwell twists them in his deals."

"Satan needs to get his butt kicked."

She smiled. "That too. Look, Will, I highly doubt anyone considered this place as a result for anything. If they did I want to meet them because I have no idea how anyone could guess this."

"This place offends me as a scientist."

She grinned, expecting that at some point. "Little brother, you still have a long ways to go it seems."

He accepted her challenge. "Well, little sister, I do believe the forbidden knowledge says otherwise."

"Ancient knowledge trumps forbidden knowledge, my dear little brother."

"Yeah, it does."

They only stopped when Willow started laughing. "Oh my god, it's a family of dorks. Here I thought Wilson was bad."

Wilson's face just grew red with Willow's teasing as he sat back down pouting.

Interesting, to think my twin has met his match. Maybe this world has brought some good things.

"Yes, but keep in mind that the smarter sibling is yours truly."

"Hey!" That only caused both of them to laugh now at his expression. He was almost as red as a tomato at this point.

"So what are your plans now Veronica?" asked Willow. "I kinda figured after all this you might come back to our main camp." She really hopes the other woman will come. Wilson seems a lot happier now that they were together again.

"I was planning on moving camps anyway. The moosegoose usually forces me sometimes in the spring. Besides, I'm kinda curious as to what you guys have." Though how they set things up, the spiders usually can take care of the camp.

"Though Webber isn't gonna like leaving his spiders. He really likes riding the queen."

"Ok, first what is a moose goose and second you guys actually ride a spider queen?!" asked Wilson.

She just waved him off. "The name says it all. It's a giant mix between a moose and a goose. The spiders though is just Webber's thing. Might be because of him being part spider now."

Wilson just gave up and decided to clarify things later. "So much for examining that egg."

"Unless there is more stuff you know about this area." Veronica was here for two years. The map they made so far was good but if she knew areas that could help, Willow had to ask.

Veronica went silent at that and looked away. Wilson sighed knowing exactly what this whole thing was.

"Was it something I said?" Willow asked Wilson. It wasn't like it wasn't too much to ask.

He just shook his head and smiled. "It's not you, it's Roni's little habit. She has no sense of direction and has the habit of getting lost on more than one occasion."

"Hey, I just get turned around!" she yelled. "That's all it is!"

"Yeah mom, yet that happens. More than I can count."

It was the other twins turn to start pouting. Still, she couldn't complain at this moment. The truth is she kinda missed being teased about her directional sense. It was great to have some company.

Though, I might want to compare notes sometime. Maxwell better hopes nothing too bad happened to Will in his time here. I still have some recompense already. No one messes with my family without some payback.
