Tori's mind was fogged as she drifted from consciousness to unconsciousness. She attempted to say something or at least make a sound but could not muster the strength to do so.

'I didn't realize I was this tired,' she barely made out as she finally managed to make a noise. It was a rather pathetic moan but it was better than nothing.

"-toria, Vic-," A deep voice echoed as something tapped her cheeks lightly.

There was only one person who would do that.

"Mnnhh…..Sam?" Victoria croaked out giving instant relief to the worried Sam. He continued tapping at her face with a bit more force to rouse her from her sleep.

"Yeah, this is Sam. You need to wake up Tori, you might have a concussion," Sam said as he propped her up further in a sitting position.

"Did we win?"

A chuckle escaped the stranger before Sam could let one out as well. Sam stole a look at the silent stranger who had rescued them, she, he guessed due to her..uh..assets, hadn't spoken since getting them out of the city limits.

"Heh, yeah we won," Sam replied with a small smile as Victoria finally opened her eyes.

Tori blinked owlishly as she tried to clear away the glare of the artificial lights. From her position she stared up through the clear roof of the vehicle at the artificial sky. Peace filled her for once, they were safe.

She hoped.

She tilted her head and found herself staring into Sam's eyes. She smiled at him wordlessly without realizing she was doing so.

Sam chuckled at the out-of-it look in Tori's eyes and her silly smile but was glad. He leaned back farther into his seat as she turned from sitting horizontally across his lap to be facing forward as well. He turned his head the slightest to face the window as Tori leaned back to rest her head against his shoulder.

"So why aren't they-" Sam froze for a split second as the stranger's helmet shifted away to show a young woman. Her angled pixie cut complimented her petite angled face as well as the strong look in her eyes.

"They're not following but it's not by choice. Their vehicles are designed to work on this terrain. They'll malfunction on this grid," She answered his unfinished question with a smirk before releasing one hand from the wheel to hold it out with an enthusiastic smile.

"I'm Quorra,"

Seeing that she was pretty much squishing Sam, Tori quickly shook the available hand with a return smile.

"I'm Victoria. Assuming you pretty much saved our asses, Thank you," Tori said gratefully as she let go of the energetic woman.

"No problem," Quorra replied as she continued her drive.

"But what about us?" Sam piped in, obviously worried about the malfunction issue.

"Hah, obviously not."

Quorra only seemed to speed up as the terrain became rougher very much worrying her two passengers.

Lighting flashed ahead ominously.

Sam let out an exasperated breathe as he tried to relax through the ride but was finding it a bit difficult to do so.

For one, Quorra's driving was just as bad as his on a bike.

Two, though he liked the feeling of Tori on his lap, she was cutting off his blood circulation. And her constant squirming was making it very hard for him to deal with.

Third, he had no idea Quorra was taking them and he was beginning to doubt his trust in the stranger.

"Where are you taking us?" Sam voiced.

"Patience, Sam Flynn. All your questions will be answered soon," Quorra evaded.

Then she jetted into a sliver of a tunnel on the towering mountain side.

"Hold on!" Sam exclaimed as Tori let out a gasp as they barely skimmed the walls of the tunnel.

Quorra simply laughed at their reactions as she jerked the wheel in a tight turn as they began their ascent up a zig-zag road.

Quorra turned to observe the two Users as things fell quiet in the car. The two were very much fascinated by the environment from their wide eyes bringing a small smile to her face. Looking down at their intertwined hands, she couldn't help but be just as fascinated as the two were. They were performing a ritual that almost seemed at a subconscious level and displayed all signs of a couple yet, they still seemed distant. The digital being forced her eyes away as the two humans made eye contact.

Though she wanted to continue observing, she did not want to crash or drive off a cliff. At least, not now. This was too important.

Quorra finally seemed to slow down as she drove into another tunnel that slowly turned into a structured garage-like room.

Sam and Tori got out of the vehicle and followed the silent Quorra onto another platform. As the platform began moving upwards, for a second they were moved into pitch darkness. The only source of light coming from their illuminating suits.

'I wonder why we aren't toasting in this thing,' a fleeting thought passed Tori as she waited for the platform to stop.

She missed the good old fashion stairs.

Then there was light at the end of the tunnel. Metaphorically speaking as they arrived into an expanse room. Where a single man in all white sat stock still dead center in the room. Surrounding the man were fluttering streams of light.

Sam almost seemed to tense up completely as Quorra asked them to stay put as she made her way toward the man.

"Quorra, I dreamed of Tron…first time in years,"

If Sam was tense before, Victoria could tell he was practically twitching in anxiety as the man acknowledged Quorra.

Victoria and Sam unconsciously leaned in the slightest to try and catch Quorra's quiet reponse.

"It's a sign," Quorra whispered.

"A sign, aha ha ha my dear apprentice, of a weary soul,"

Sam began moving forward.

"What, Sam," Victoria whispered frantically.

"I'm afraid something's happened…" The man finished as the man's shoulders began rising.

"Something has happened, we have guests,"

"There are no guests here,"

Sam stopped his advancement with Victoria just behind him on the lower platform. They stood quietly, not sure what to say as the unknown figure slowly made his way to face the 'guests.'

The lights were like a godsend as all their faces were revealed.

"Sam, long time," the man whispered with an all too familiar face.

Victoria sucked in a harsh breath.

No way.

"You have no idea…" Kevin Flynn was quick to make his way toward his grown son.

"Y-you're, you're here!" Kevin continued as he looked Sam from head to toe disbelievingly.

"You're here!"

"I-I'm here.."

It took a while for Sam to embrace his father back.

Tears hung from Victoria's eyes as she wrung her fingers together happily.

"And you brought a friend," A shuttered laugh left Kevin.

"Yeah…" Sam replied.

They slowly separated. And once again they were looking at each other, hoping with all their heart that if this was a dream, they would never wake up.

"You're big."

"You're…"

"Old," Kevin finished unashamed.

Victoria was struggling not to roll her eyes at the conversation.

'Men…'

She did not want to ruin the mood though.

Sam broke out in laughter, fingers twitching to yearn to embrace his father again.

"How'd you get in?" Kevin asked in almost a whisper as a grave look slowly began settling in.

"Alan came over," Sam began as happy recollection filled his father's face, "He got your page, from your office…under the arcade."

Now, something was really wrong, Victoria noticed as Kevin visibly wilted.

"The page, of course the page," Sam's father mumbled more to himself than to Sam.

Then silence set in.

Quorra made her way in as an opportune moment came in.

"CLU had them on the light cycle grid," She cut in with a small laugh, "I intervened."

That seemed to have the two Flynn men chuckling, though it seemed to only fill the growing silence.

"Settle in, we'll talk then," Kevin said distantly as he abruptly walked away. Sam let out a confused smile but remained silent as he watched his father walk away once again.

Quorra too, seemed confused like Sam and Tori but not as much as she addressed them.

"He never thought that he'd see you again," She supplied.

Victoria pursed her lips as Sam struggled to let out a response.

"Yeah…"

This was not as how Victoria imagined this reunion to be. Tori lifted her hand to rest on the valley between Sam's shoulder blades before looking away.

"Wow," Tori gasped as she walked toward the sleek white vehicle that looked very much like the light cycles they had been on.

"Vintage," Quorra said proudly as she walked forward to join Tori, "Flynn built it many cycles ago for the games."

Sam now joined them to ogle at the white cycle.

Victoria looked at Sam and could tell the distraction was needed but he was clearly bothered by his father's lack of warmth.

"It doesn't get out as much as it used to…but still the fastest thing on the grid."

Victoria broke off from the tour as Quorra made her way toward the bookshelf. Tori opted to head toward the other side of the room. But as she picked up the rather flawless metallic apple off the dining table, Tori snuck a look at Kevin's back as he stood out on the patio.

The apple was now back in the bowl as she followed the direction of Kevin's stare toward the city they just escaped. Did he know something they didn't?

'Well, everyone here knows more than we do,' she thought dryly as she decided to rejoin the other two.

"…but between you and me, Jules Verne is my favorite," Quorra said conspiratorily as she had a starry look, "Do you know Jules Verne?"

"Sure," Sam said faintly as he turned away.

"What's he like?"

Sam stopped in his track as his eyebrows furrowed at Quorra's frantic question.

Laughter cut through the air as Victoria shook in amusement at Quorra's child-like innocence and misunderstanding of Sam's response.

Quorra looked between the two Users quizzically as Sam joined Tori in laughing.

"No, no. Sam meant…"

Kevin Flynn turned away from the city with a heavy heart to face his residence.

'No, it's home,' Kevin corrected as he immediately eyed his son, unable to stop the tears from welling in his eyes. Seeing the three figures now smiling together sent the tears running down the god-like User's face.
