I do not own.

Sunlight hit Rex's eyes. He closed them tighter and turned away only to hit his head against something hard. His eyes flew open realizing he was asleep next to some dumpster with bags of garbage as his bed.

"Eww," Rex muttered pulling himself up. "I'm going to need a long shower and strong antibiotics after this."

It took him a minute to remember why he was sleeping in the trash. "Aww, man." Rex groaned. "Why is everything always so hard?" Stumbling up on his feet, he tried to figure out what to do next. "So, do I go talk to my other world brother, or otherworld Six… er… One? Or do I try to get to Breach to get me home?" He said out loud to no one in particular.

He heard someone walking down the alleyway. He ducked behind the dumpster. When the footsteps faded away, he poked his head out only to quickly pull it back. He sucked in a breath. The person was wearing a Providence uniform.

Rex thought quickly. Peeking out to make sure that there was no one else around. Rex pounced.

A minute later Rex emerged wearing the uniform while a tied-up man in his underwear lay unconscious behind the dumpster. Rex wandered down the street.

"Hey, George! George!" Rex turned around. Another Providence agent was running towards him. He stiffened up before he realized, he must be George. They probably couldn't see who it was with the helmet on.

"Uh, hey…you." Rex deepened his voice.

"Stop joking around. The man is going ballistic. Come on." The other agent turned around and ran back beckoning him to follow. Rex gulped and followed. They stopped in front of a small army of Providence tanks.

"All this for little ol' me?" Rex muttered under his breath.

"What?" The other agent turned to him.

"Nothing." Rex said. His heart stopped when he saw Van Kleiss walk out of one of the tanks.

"Well?" Van Kleiss snapped.

"There's no sign of him." The grunt next to Rex said.

"Then keep looking! I want those brats caught. I want the Dimensional Disrupter returned to me!" Van Kleiss ordered.

Rex froze. The Dimensional Disrupter was the weapon he stole? That was also something Caesar had made. So Caesar worked for Van Kleiss? This was getting more and more complicated.

Everyone saluted except him.

"You have a problem soldier?" Van Kleiss asked him.

"Oh, uh, no, sir." Rex saluted too.

"Good. Now get moving." Van Kleiss narrowed his eyes.

Rex saluted and quickly walked away. When he was out of sight, he relaxed. He watched as the other soldiers searched for him and his friends. Looking away he saw the building where the apartment was. Furtively glancing around to make sure not one was watching him, he went into the building. Running up the stairs he reached the apartment. Opening the door his head burst into pain.

"Ow, what the heck?" Rex yelped holding his head.

"Rex? Is that you?" Circe gasped.

"Even in this world…" Rex muttered pulling off his helmet.

"Rex, thank goodness you're here. What's going on? What happened?" Tuck asked.

"The deal fell through." Rex winced at the unintended pun.

"But why? Did they try to welsh on the deal?" Walter asked with a frown.

"Something like that." Rex didn't want to get into details.

"What are we going to do? Cricket fretted. "Quarry's going to find us and kill us."

"No, he won't." Rex said firmly. "You guys are going to get out of town."

"How?" Circe asked. "We have no money to buy…" She stopped when Rex pulled out a wallet.

"Where did you get that?" Tuck asked in awe. He took the wallet and rummaged through the folds.

"George. He was kind enough to lend me his uniform too." Rex smirked. "Go right now to the bus station and buy four tickets to Mexico before they find out."

"What about you?" Circe looked at him.

"I have some business to take care of." Rex said. "Go quick and stay on the rooftops. Providence troops are all over the ground."

"They might be on the look out in the air." Cricket said worriedly.

"Could be. But I didn't see any planes. Just be careful." Rex told them.

Walter stuck his hand out. Rex hesitated a moment before he took it. He shook Walter's then Tuck's. Cricket threw herself into his arms and gave him a hug. Sniffling she stepped away. He looked at Circe.

"Take care of yourself, Rex." She said sadly.

"Hey, Circe?" Rex began.

"Yeah?"

"Be happy."

Circe was taken aback. "Yeah, you too." The four then stepped outside the fire escape and was soon gone.

Rex stood quietly a moment before a chill ran through him. Diving to the side he narrowly avoided a dart. "Seriously, dude. You totally ruined the moment."

"I'm about to ruin more than that." Rex-two, as Rex referred to him now in his head, stepped through a red vortex holding a tranquilizer dart.

"Yeah, you won't mess with the real estate. You need this to survive." Rex told him.

"I just need the body. We're replacing the brain." Rex-two shot several more darts.

"The toxins in the dart destroys neurons."

"Great." Rex groused. "Not like I can spare anymore neurons." One dart pierced his jacket as it barely missed his side. He jumped up and formed his Smack Hands. "Needles can't get through metal." Rex said. A dart hit his hand. Instead of bouncing off it impaled itself into the Smack Hand. His build immediately fell apart. "That was unexpected." Rex gawked at the discarded metal.

Rex-two chuckled humorlessly. "You think I wouldn't have thought of your super powers?"

"I like to think of them as gifts to mankind." Rex retorted. His eyes widened as he formed another Smack Hand only for it to disintegrate when the dart hit him.

"You think everything is a joke?" Rex-two snarled.

"Maybe not everything, but I know I'm looking at one." Rex retorted. His eyes widened when a barrage of darts came his way. He danced around some and made his Block Party. Several hits before it shattered. Rex fell back. When he looked up, his twin was standing above him.

"Well, laugh it up." Rex-two snapped pulling the trigger.

Rex watched the dart approach him in slow motion. Just inches from his nose, he saw it knocked away by a shuriken.

"Six?" Rex looked behind him.

"I told you, it's One." The man in green said flatly as he entered through the window. He spotted the second Rex. "Interesting."

Rex-two didn't answer. Instead he fired several darts at One. One blocked them easily. "Breach!" Rex-two yelled. A red portal opened and Rex-two disappeared.

It was now just Rex and One.

"Come here often?" Rex asked weakly.

"You have some explaining to do." One said.

"You're never gonna believe me." Rex sighed.

"Try me." Six said.

There was pounding at the door. "Providence! Open up!"

"So, One, I guess you're going to have to vouch for me." Rex said.

"No can do." One turned to leave from the window he came in through.

"What? Why not? Tell them you saw me with me…" Rex protested.

"I don't work for Providence anymore." One said as he stood on the fire escape.

"Huh?" Rex followed him out the window. "Who do you work for now?" He watched as One leap gracefully off the escape and down onto the ground.

Rex made his Punk Busters and landed next to him.

"Him." One pointed at a man in the shadows.

"Hello, Rex." The man stepped into the light.

"Caesar?" Rex stared at his brother.
