After a while, Tomas and Jaci led Syd into an apartment building, and then into the basement.
Syd noted that everyone ignored them, moving out of their way as if by instinct. No one spared a glance for them.
As Jaci lay her mother down on a bundle of blankets, Tomas and Syd sat down on upturned boxes, or tubs.
"Okay, what's going on here?" Syd asked.
Jaci looked up and smiled ruefully. "Do you want to know about us, how you got here, where is here, etcetera?"
Syd nodded.
Tomas sighed. "Here goes. When Z was ten years old, she fell into a warp hole of sorts. In the world she landed in, she had never been born. Instead, my father was. My father was Keith Delgado. He and Z met, when they were both taken to a research facility. They were kept in captivity for some time, and were semi cloned.
That means that someone took his or her DNA and added it to someone else's, and made a baby out of it. Jaci had just been born when they heard about it. They busted us out, and named us, gave us clothes, and helped us survive for a while, before they were both sent into your world. We had an accelerated growth feature, so we went from babies to teens in seconds.
Then we used our powers for the first time, and poof! We stopped aging so quickly. Jaci was eight, and I was twelve. I suppose, since Z looks so much older now, time isn't consistent between our dimensions, as only two years have passed for us since then." Tomas watched Syd's face carefully.
"What powers do you have?" Syd asked suddenly. "I can turn my hands into any element I'm holding."
Tomas waved his arm at her, and she found herself floating in the air. He put her down gently. "That's why we think my DNA is half Kerovian. I have telekinesis, but I can use it on anything, not just small objects, without any bother."
Jaci shook her head. "I'm phycic. I can see into other realities, and I can do this thing that lets me locate anyone in my own dimension, as long as I have something of theirs. I can also recreate warp holes, if they were recent enough."
Syd looked up. "Can you get us home then?" She asked, signalling herself and Z.
Jaci nodded slowly. "If you can, grab a hold of us, would you? I want to live in your reality, so try grab a hold of us. Maybe that will drag us along, us in our physical form, you in your mental form."
Syd blinked. "Huh?"
Tomas shook his head. "We'll explain later, deal?"
Jaci's hands began to glow white, and Syd grabbed Z's arm, and pulled Tomas close to her. Tomas grabbed Jaci's shoulder, then all four fell into the floor, surrounded by a white light.
Once back in their bodies, Z and Syd woke up with a start, while the kids landed on the other (empty) beds of the infirmary.
Sky and Bridge came back into the room, followed by Kat. Three sets of jaws dropped simultaneously.
Tomas looked at the adults. "Explanations, later. Sleep, now." He said slowly, like he would to a two year old. Syd and Z exchanged glances, then pulled the covers over their heads, just as Tomas and Jaci did the same thing across the room.
