"V, what are you talking about?" Richie asked. "I just saw you today...or I thought it was you. You didn't look to happy to see me though."
"I'm serious, Richie. It's the only explanation I can come up with that fits. I was dropping Nightingale off, and her friend, Stock came up. Her real name is Marci, I think."
"Yeah, V...so why are you in another dimension," Richie's voice was dripping with sarcasm, but Virgil ignored it. He was draining himself trying to keep the immense amount of energy up to keep in touch.
"Because she tripped, and was falling onto the tracks. There was all sorts of stuff down there, and I tried to levitate her. Her eyes went yellow, and the next thing I know, I'm in a courtroom, and a judge is yelling at me. Than I saw you, but you called yourself Virus."
"Virus? Come on, V, I could do better than that," Richie's voice was beginning to loose the sarcasm.
"Focus Richie," Virgil sighed. "after that, Mom came over and brought me home." Silence from the other end.
"V, are you sure you're alright?" Richie asked slowly.
"Look, Richie," Virgil replied, grunting with effort. "It takes a lot to keep up the energy that it takes to contact you. I'd even bet that if our shock boxes weren't directly linked, that it wouldn't have worked at all." Richie stayed quiet again before answering.
"I was wondering how you would be able to contact me. Look, V-"
"Richie, I don't have time. Please," he grunted, "Try and get ahold of Nightingale. I dropped gasp her off at-"
"V, I can trace your ionic energy, and I'll make sure it's at least a day old, Okay? That's how I'm planning to find Viper."
"Who?"
"Viper, the other you. Look, I've just had backpack analyze the signal, and I think that I can get ahold of you again."
"K, thanks," Virgil said.
"Later, bro," Richie said. "Out." Virgil collapsed onto the couch, and stayed there until his mother called him in for dinner.
