Lily belongs to me. TRON does not.

Flynn pushes himself to an upright position looking at the rubble around him. What he sees first is Eponine lying on the ground pinned under one of the larger pieces of debris. Quickly he rushes over to her.

"Eponine? Eponine! Say something to me. Are you alright?" Flynn says as he pulls the debris off her legs and slides her out from underneath. He kneels back down by her head. "Are you ok?" The only response he gets is a slap in the face.

"The one time I trust a strange program he goes and almost gets me derezzed!" she spits at him like venom.

"Hey, I just rescued you." He lifts her in his arms running into one of the many canyons that line the ravine and debris field. Setting her down out of sight of the tanks and Recognizers, he runs back for RAM. He returns shortly with RAM draped across his shoulders. Just as he ducks into hiding with Eponine, a tank cruises by. They just narrowly escape.

"We need to get moving," Flynn says straightening RAM out on his back and lifting Eponien in his arms once again. Flynn trudges through a canyon carrying both programs. "You gonna make it?" he asks RAM who nods, murmuring his response before falling unconscious on Flynn's shoulder. Eponine reaches up to touch his face gently.

Through the darkness descending upon the Grid and weary party who have not made a much progress as they would like, a black mass appears. Hopeful, Flynn rushes to the mass and uses it as a hiding place as well as a place to rest.

Gently, Flynn sets Eponine on the ground first and lays RAM next to her. As she pulls RAM's head into her lap, Flynn climbs to the step above them laying down. It's not long before his eyes close. Eponine begins to push and poke a whole manner of buttons on RAM's suit with an accompanying beep of varying tones. Slowly, his fading light begins to return, but never for an extended amount of time. After doing all she can do, she soon lays her head down to rest, listening to the sound of Flynn and RAM's breathing.

After having slept for a few hours, Flynn rolls over onto his side, tapping his fingers carelessly against the floor. He hears a beep every time he taps his fingers and deliberately pokes the floor sending a blue glow throughout the entire floor. Jumping to his feet, he looks to the sleeping programs who have now awoken.

"What's going on?" Flynn asks looking to them. They look around and see the blue light moving down every pathway it can illuminating their hiding place. "You see this?"

"You shouldn't be able to do that," RAM says weakly looking around.

"How are you doing that?" Eponine asks.

"Now for some real User power," Flynn mutters to himself.

"We are inside a Recognizer."

"You are crazy," RAM says, "Stealing a Reco."

Flynn stands with his arms outstretched, hands touching two separate parts of the Reco sending a wave of energy through them both. With a shudder, the Reco rises into the air. "Are you kidding?" Flynn asks. "I think it's stealing us."

Piece by piece, the Reco reconnects itself, but one part of the leg falls off. Flynn stands in the front of the Reco thoroughly pleased with himself as he takes the steering mechanism.

"Hey, this looks promising." He takes the controls in his hands. "These are just like the arcade grips. Now we're talkin'! How you doin'?" Flynn looks over his shoulder at Eponine and RAM whose head still lays in her lap.

"How can you steal a Recognizer?" RAM asks weakly still in amazement.

"You don't look so good. I'm gonna get you fixed up."

RAM waves him over. "Come here."

Flynn walks over to him and kneels, taking his hands. RAM cringes in pain. "Oh, my User," he gasps. "User, User?" He asks Flynn. "Are you a User?"

Flynn nods and RAM and Eponine laugh at the amazement of actually knowing a User.

"Flynn," RAM says clearly through a great struggle. His lights flicker. "Help TRON." Flynn nods again. RAM places his hands upon both Flynn's and Eponine's shoulders as his lights jump back and forth between blue and red. He sends his last remaining energy into them. Try as they might to reverse the flow and give energy back to RAM their tries are in vain. Closing his eyes, RAM leans his head back, almost as if in rest and derezzes.

Eponine is just sitting there with her hands suspended in the air hovering over where his form used to be. The emotion on her face is one of complete disbelief. Flynn wraps his arm around her shoulders in a comforting manner. She looks up into this eyes and raises her hand, but Flynn catches it before she can slap him.

"I'd really appreciate it if you'd stop slappin' me, ok. We need to be on the same team here. There's no other way we can get out of here and away from SARK. Are you going to trust me?"

"Yes, but if you put me in danger one more time-"

"Well, I'll do my best to keep you out of it." Flynn stands up and takes control of the Reco again.
