Josie blinked. Then again. She was looking at Avaneir, her father's ancestor, a man of evil. And he knew it just as well as she did: this wasn't going to go well at all. This was the man that almost ruined her life. He should be guilty.

"How long has it been? Two, three years?" Avaneir was trying to sound innocent, but he wasn't fooling Josie.

"A year. A year after you tried to close Blake Holsey High." Josie was angry. She was surprised to see him here, but half hoping she would - she wanted to defeat him, face to face, once and for all. To prove she would never work for him, to get rid of him.

And yet, here he was, ready for any challenges. Something wasn't right. He was staring at her, and she was looking at him... and he looked completely calm, as if he thought his daughter was no challange at all. Ready to fight back. But this time, she was prepared. For anything. Anything he would throw at her.

"A year's practice could go a long way, especially against your own father." Josie was completely unaware that Leslie and Lucas were sitting there, watching, mouths wide open as if wanting to say something to stop them (or in Lucas's case, to keep Josie in the lead), but no sound came out. So they just watched.

At last, a low sound came out of Leslie's voice but it was completely clear to all of them: "Stop." Lucas sighed, almost sad. Josie looked at Leslie, Avaneir shortly joining her. "Don't fight any longer. I do not know what either of you have against each other, but I know that it won't help at all to fight. You two" - she pointed at Josie and Lucas - "Return to the time in wich you belong. I'll help you get there, just leave this man alone."

"How are you suposed to help us?"

"Just go!"

After five minutes in the science room, Leslie finally entered. "I will send you back to your own time, but just so you don't go around telling everyone -" She took out what looked like an old fashioned watch. In the last minute of that journey Josie remembered, it took only a second to realise that Leslie... was an Observer.

When she got back to her time, Josie had thousands of questions flowing through her head, thousands of possible explanations. My ancestor was an observer? Maybe I'll be one too! What if we're not related? I really impersinated someone from the future! But there was no way to explain how someone from a hundred thirty or so years ago was from her future.

The next day, Josie and Lucas explained their encounter with Leslie and Avaneir to the rest of the science club. If Josie thought her own questions were hard to answer, it was a lot harder to answer the others'. But when they finally got through it all, something had happened.

A hooded figure of about 18 years old came near them. "Now that Josie and the others know about me, what should we do?" The hood was removed by Josie's clone. It was revealed to be Leslie.

"You will soon find out, as soon as your pre-training is complete."

"So what should we do... big sister?" asked Leslie, clearly speaking as if Josie was her sister.

"Ask your real one, maybe she could tell you. I'm just her clone."
