Just when the four were boarding the plane, the morning sun started to rise over the island.

"This'll be weird." Kenny started, "The sun rises now, but in Romania, it'll probably be night already."

"Noon, actually." Rorschach corrected him.

"Either way..." Kenny said, "Their the day is near it's end, while here it's merely beginning."

"I guess we'll find out the meaning of the word jet-lag." the Pie-maker remarked.

"I always wanted to see Europe, but I could never think it would be under these circumstances." Tamara whined.

"Can't deal with the world, then you should've stayed dead." Rorschach said, flatly.

"Look who's talking!" Tamara exclaimed.

"Guys, save your angry fits for when it really matters." Kenny interrupted them.

"Come on now, Kenny." Tamara said, "We've spent hours with this guy, but he won't answer any of our questions. I've had it with him, really."

"You want me to answer your questions?" Rorschach questioned, though his face didn't seem like he was willingly cooperating, "Do you?! I'll answer them."

"Good!" Tamara sounded relieved, "What is..."

"Once we're on our way." Rorschach interrupted her, as he went inside the plane.

"Where did you find this guy?" the Pie-maker asked Kenny and Tamara.

"Internet." Kenny answered.

Bucharest, Romania, November 13th 2010, 15:36:

Selene had sat herself on top of a church tower. It wasn't the first time she sat there either, though sitting there, not did she remember the first time she did that, but also the exact circumstances which brought her there. She, along with others like her, was stalking a group of people, the ones she knows as the lycans. Little did she know at the time that this particular stalk is what would change her life completely. She met the love of her live, she betrayed her own race, stopped the war between two species,... but altogether even stopped living. Although the life she lived was mostly based upon the lie that lycans killed her family, it still became her life to search and kill. Now that that life is over, she's settling down with her loved one, who was only newly introduced into this war, therefor the end couldn't come too soon for him. And although he loved her, he may never fully understand how she felt about this sudden end.

Over the Atlantic

As they were on route, Rorschach explained a thing or two about the person they were about to see: "Her name is Selene."

"The moon goddess?" Kenny asked.

"No." Rorschach ansered, "She's a vampire, that's been around for many centuries."

"A vampire?" the Pie-maker asked, "I know I've seen the strangest of things, and you guys aren't exactly... anyway, a vampire?"

"If you've seen what I saw, nothing would surprise you anymore." Kenny told him, "Unless the vampire turned out to be fake."

"I was skeptic at first too." Rorschach said, "But I've seen her drink blood, and I've seen how fast she heals of mortal wounds. Wounds that nobody could possibly even survive."

"How do you know her anyway?" Kenny asked him.

"This is where I answer how I know so much about the Planeteers too, isn't it." Rorschach growled.

"At last." Tamara sounded a little more pleased than usual.

"What do you already know about me?" Rorschach asked.

"Other than what I already said..." Kenny answered, "... just what was shown in that movie from last year."

"They made a movie about him?" Tamara asked.

"More about him and his friends from way back when." Kenny answered, "It suggested that you were blown to bits by Dr. Manhattan, somewhere in Antarctica."

"That indeed happened." Rorschach answered, "But I guess Oysterman, as that was his real name, is not used to hearing people begging him to kill them. I guess I'm the first one who confused him, so he made a slight mistake when he blew me up."

"Anyone else is creeped by how lightly he's taking this?" the Pie-maker asked.

"Not really." Tamara answered.

"And what mistake did this... Manhattan make?" Kenny asked him.

"He blew up my body, but didn't kill me." Rorschach answered, "Somehow, though all my cells were split up, they didn't die. What was worse is that the cold of Antarctica preserved my cells, instead of killing them."

"Isn't that a good thing?" the Pie-maker asked, "I mean, you don't want to die, right?"

Rorschach sighed: "You try and stay there and not wishing you could die."

"So what happened then?" Kenny asked.

"The Planeteers." Rorschach answered, "They came to visit the South Pole. In doing so, some of my frozen cells stitched themselves to their clothes, so once they left the cold of Antarctica, my cells unfroze themselves."

"So what then?" Tamara asked, "I'm not a biologist, but if your cells were... split up, they couldn't do much. You couldn't do much."

"Thank you for rubbing that in." Rorschach replied, "I can remember the times I spent in this plane, just because I couldn't get out without any help."

"That why you know so much about them." Kenny understood, "You were watching them the whole time, and they didn't know it."

"Yes." Rorschach answered.

"So... how did you... I mean... how did you er..." the Pie-maker tried to ask him.

"Reassemble myself?" Rorschach explained, "I improvised. When Oysterman's had his accident, which turned him into Dr. Manhattan, his knowledge of astro, nuclear, quantum and other physics is what got him to restore himself. I don't have that knowledge, so I was on my own."

"Is that why you wear that mask?" Tamara asked him, "So nobody would see your failiure to..."

"No, miss Riley." Rorschach interrupted her, "This 'mask', as you call it, is my face!"

He turned his head to look at the other three. The inkblot on his face took a new form, however this time there was no mistaking it. It took the shape of a man's face.

Kenny was the first to recover: "Well that explains it."

"So... what can you do?" the Pie-maker asked.

"Other than shaping my face as I want to..." Rorschach answered, "I'm stronger than I was before, I can let a bullet go right through me, but even if one hits me it won't kill me."

"That's it?" Kenny was surprised, "I thought Dr. Manhattan could do more than that."

"He could. But I'm not Dr. Manhattan, remember?" Rorschach reminded him.

After this, Kenny went silent.

"Where does that Selene woman come in?" the Pie-maker remembered.

"As I said, the Planeteers carried me around, and when they arrived in Europe I could start trying to reassemble." Rorschach explained, "When I did, I stayed in Europe for a while, trying to piece together how much time had passed since I've been in Antarctica, what had happened in the meantime,..."

"Which would explain why no one's seen you in years." Kenny interrupted, "No one that I know of anyway."

"Exactly." Rorschach answered, "Once I had everything sorted out, I needed to return to New York. The only problem, since I've been gone for so long, and some of the rules had been changed, it became difficult for me to enter the States without being noticed. That's where Selene came in."

"She smuggled you in?" the Pie-maker asked.

"She helped me get in." Rorschach replied, "And let's leave it at that."
