Chapter 25

The Dimensional Transporter completed its startup diagnostics around 8:00 AM the following day, about four hours after that everybody was packed and ready to go.

Now they all stood inside the secure bunker waiting as Chloe made the final adjustments to the device, and waited for it to lock onto their home reality.

Finally, after a wait of nearly a half hour a tone sounded indicating that the device had locked onto the vibrational frequency it was programmed for.

Chloe tapped in a quick series of instructions at the control console; then called out to the others.

"Okay everybody, gather in front of the device," she called out "I've set it for automatic activation on a thirty second time delay."

Everybody hastily gathered in front of the device, Tayuya, who was receiving a cloth wrapped parcel from Tsunade at the time took a little longer, but they were all in place with fifteen seconds to spare.

"We'll be back with Tayuya's clone as soon as possible," Chloe assured Tsunade just a few seconds before the device activated.

"I look forward to meeting the rest of your team," Tsunade replied with a nod.

A moment later there was a bright flash of light and the walls of the bunker seemed to disappear from around them.

Earth 1

As the light faded Tayuya became aware that she was standing in a massive research complex, surrounded by technology she had never seen before, a man in a lab coat entered the room, catching sight of the group Tayuya was tagging along with.

"I see you got Mr. Kent back," the man observed; then his gaze settled on Tayuya "and I see you have someone extra in the group, who might you be young lady?"

"My name is Tayuya;" she replied "I came back to this world to start a new life here because I don't have any reason to want to stay in the world I came from, the reason why is a very long story."

"And very complicated," Clark added "but what it boils down to is that Tayuya had no family, I got to know her and became attached and I pretty much adopted her as a younger sister."

"So you're part of Clark's family now?" the man asked, Tayuya nodded "it's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Doctor Emil Hamilton, but you can just call me Emil if you want, are you planning to take on the Kent surname?"

"I might," Tayuya replied thoughtfully.

"Well in any case you should be in good company with the Kents from what I'm told."

Emil extended his hand; Tayuya grasped it firmly, but made sure not to use her full strength.

"It's a pleasure to meet you as well Emil," she told him sincerely "so you're still getting to know my brother then?"

"I am," Emil confirmed "I'd like to be able to call him my friend someday."

"I hope that one day I'll be able to call you a friend," Tayuya nodded; then smirked "so I take it you know the shithead who blasted Clark into the world I'm from?"

"I know both of those annoyances," Emil confirmed, trying to hide his smile without success "and you just called them what I've wanted to call them for years."

"Oh, do they cause problems often?" Tayuya asked "I guess the shit hits the fan a lot around those two."

"More often than I'd like," Emil confirmed "but this time Steven Platt and Daniel Santiago greatly outdid themselves."

"Aint that the damn truth," Tayuya agreed with a smile "gotta give em props for finding a way into another universe though, I wouldn't even be breathing if Clark hadn't arrived on Earth 2 when he did."

"You know you're quite blunt in how you put things," Emil observed "even if you do curse a bit doing it I find that kind of honesty refreshing, yes I can see us becoming friends all right."

"One word of advice," Oliver interjected "if you do want to be her friend, don't ever call her cute, she hates it."

Emil thought about that for a moment.

"I'll keep that in mind," he decided.
