"Prue, you can't be serious..." Ved sighed, sounding annoyed.
"I am deadly serious." she said, jutting her chin out defiantly.
"Bro, let's just wait this one out, hmmm? We know she's ok, that's the important thing?" Jay tried.
But, Ved scowled, his head shaking reluctantly...

Clark and Ebony watched as Lex put on the helmet to join KC's little virtu-verse.
"I don't get why he's bothering."
"Because, he's his big brother." Clark frowned.
"So? The runt is a liability. And, if Lex can't get him out, they could both die."
"They won't." Clark said positively.
"What do you know about it?" Ebony scoffed.
"I have a baby sister around the same age." he admitted. "She's my trouble, and my heart."
Ebony eyed him. "Fine, so, I guess you sympathize with the big mook--- you know, then, that
you'd probably be better off kicking her to the roadside, just like Lex would be with the runt?"

Lex blinked, looking around the virtu-verse, and saw KC sitting with...
"Zan?!"
"Hello, Lex." she said, smiling.
"Zan, you're..." he touched her face, frowning slightly as he saw her shimmer, reminding him
harshly she was made only of pixels. "not real..." he finished flatly, sadly.
"I am real here." she said, unphased.
But, Lex turned to KC for the moment. "Are you all right, Kiddo? They didn't hurt you before
putting you in here?"
KC shrugged, fidgiting. "Not much..."
"They didn't 'much'?" he repeated, frowning. "Well, I'll check when we get out of here."
"What about Zan?"
Lex sighed heavily.
"As much as I would like to take her with us, squirt, we can't, ok? She's... she's not really Zandra.
I'm sorry," he said, looking at her with glistening eyes.
"I know." she nodded. "Would you like to kiss me goodbye?"
Lex nodded.
"Ok, kiss me, and then reach up to take off the helmets at the same time, both of you, ok?"
Lex leant forward to kiss her, and suddenly the image melted away, and KC was lying on one
bed, him on another, Ebony and Clark standing over them...
