"Eric, what's going on." Wes asked when they were sure that they were far away enough from Logan that he wouldn't be able to hear them.
"Look, Wes. I can have a team of Silver guardians here by morning and we can use all your father's resources to find Jen."
"I don't know if that will do us any good." Wes said putting a hand up. "We don't have any better technology than this institute does. We're at a disadvantage."
"How are we at a disadvantage?" Eric exclaimed shocked at what Wes had just said. "We've been fighting mutants for years."
"Mutants that Time Force had on file. We knew what they were capable of. This is completely out of our ballpark."
"Why don't we send a message to the future then? We've done it before." Eric suggested.
"No we can't, at least not yet." Wes answered. "I don't want to risk the security of Timeforce. For all we know these mutants are the predecessors of the ones in the future. We could destroy Timeforce before it ever gets off the ground."
"You're right." Eric agreed. "But we have to do something."
"We will, when the time is right we will. But, right now we have to play along with them. Work this from the inside."
Eric stared at him amazed. Wes noticed.
"What?"
"Nothing." Eric answered stifling a laugh.
"What's so funny this is serious." Wes answered indignantly. "Give me an answer that's an order."
Eric burst out laughing. Wes looked at him angrily.
"What the hell is so funny!" He yelled.
"Well..its…just…that." Eric choked out between breaths.
"Out with it what!!!" Wes ordered.
"Well, you're really beginning to sound a lot like me."
Wes looked shocked for a moment. Then broke into a smile.
"God help us all." He said laughing.
