"I know.. A lot more about you guys than I should. I know your stories, down to the last word.. Literally." Jessie explained. Wash had called Carolina and the rest who were missing over the radio, and they came to listen to what was really going on.
"According to Felix, everyone knows about us by now," Church pointed out. "The whole 'taking down Project Freelancer' thing spreads around quickly."
"They don't know as much as us," Jessie said, "I know.. That a long time ago, Church, Washington, and Caboose were facing the Meta, and Church had a rocket launcher on him. After figuring out the Meta could use any equipment, he came out and told Wash to cover him. Wash told Caboose to grab some spike grenades, and when he was told to toss the grenade, he threw the grenade right into the wall in front of them, and Wash said, if I may quote, 'That was the worst throw, ever... Of all time' to which Caboose replied, 'Not my fault, someone put a wall in my way.'"
Wash's jaw dropped lower than physically possible, Jessie wasn't even there, yet remembered that moment as vividly as he.
"Wait.. Caboose threw a grenade into a wall.. Actually, it's not even that surprising," Tucker said, shaking his head.
"How do you know this?" Wash asked, but it seemed that Jessie ignored him.
"Grif.. Back in blood gulch, you always thought Lopez was just a really quiet guy, and never considered him as a robot until Sarge installed that voice thingy. Also, in that canyon, remember when Simmons asked if you wondered why you were here?" Jessie asked, and Simmons and Grif exchanged glances, "'It's one of life's great mysteries, isn't it? Why are we here? I mean, are we the result of some, cosmic coincidence, or is there really a god out there, watching everything? You know, with a plan for us and stuff? I don't know, man, but it keeps me up at night.'," Jessie said in her "Grif" voice.
"H-how did you.." Simmons started, flabbergasted.
"While we're still talking about Blood Gulch," Jessie continued, "Tucker... I don't care how much you think you can.., you cannot pick up chicks in a tank! Trust me, I'm a chick, and I know I wouldn't. Oh, and, for anyone who hasn't experienced it yet... DON'T. EVER. GET. CABOOSE. ANGRY!" Everyone shuddered at the thought. Jessie smirked at the next one, "Church, even if the others don't, I know you secretly care for Caboose."
"What?! No I don't! What would give you that idea?!" Church defended.
"Dude, even I know you do. Remember the Wyoming incident? Well, in one of those loops, Caboose died," Tucker said.
"Wait, what?" Church said.
"And you went all 'Caboooose! Noooooo!' And everything went crazy!"
"Wait," Caboose said, "If I am dead, why am I here? I thought dead people were in not here. Unless there is two of me, then one could be dead and I could be here, but then my twin would be dead! He was my brother! Caboose, why did you leave me?!"
"Wh-what?! How did you even-" Kat started.
"It's Caboose. Don't question it," Jessie said, putting a hand out to silence her sister.
"Okay, you know a lot about us," Church said, "Okay, too much about us, but how? That's the one thing you haven't answered!"
"Well, you see... We are from a different universe," Jessie said.
"We're from this universe, a person sent us to that universe... Then she sent us back here," Lily said.
"Cross-dimensional transportation? That's high-tech. Who sent you?" Tex asked, and Jessie paused.
"Uh.. Not important. Anyways, from the universe that I spent most of my life in.. Well, you guys are just characters..." She paused, obviously debating finishing her sentence. "...from an online web series called Red vs Blue."
"What?!" Everyone suddenly screamed.
"A web series?" Tucker asked, remembering what he had overheard.
"I-it doesn't mean you're not real here! It was a different universe! It just means that I know all the events that happend before I came here the first time, and some of the stuff that will happen in the future!" Jessie explained.
"Still, if you're from a different universe, then someone had to send you back here," Tex said, "Who?"
"Trust me: not important."

(In another universe...)
Zack walked out of his room, tired after staying up so late last night. Lately, his family has been acting really weird around him. He tried to ignore it, but he couldn't. He was going to talk to them.
Usually, Mom was out in the living room at this time, but when passing by, he found that she wasn't. What he did find, though, was a computer screen turned on, but showing nothing but static.
He walked over to it, and what he found was even weirder. It was beeping. Zack wiggled the mouse and the screen suddenly flashed white, and the beeping became louder, until it came to an abrupt stop. It then showed a video... Red vs Blue. It was in the middle of the episode it seemed, but Zack didn't really care, and he pressed play, curious to how the computer acted. It was strange, however. A little glance was all it took for him to figure out what episode this was, but it didn't play like normal.
Wash suddenly stopped talking, looking up, and a faint sound was heard. He then explained to Tucker that things like that were why he had to train, and declared that he was going to find out who was in the canyon. Zack was interested, and kept watching as Wash prepared to climb the cliff side, and Tucker said he would talk to Caboose. The episode ended with Wash at the top of the canyon wall.. Looking at all the AI that were supposed to be dead!
Zack looked at the comments, and noticed that the more recent ones were talking about how the episode changed, some liking it, some not, and most just plain confused. He noticed a message from Rooster Teeth explaining that the episode wasn't supposed to be changed, and no one was working on doing so.
Zack watched the next episode, and gasped as he saw his sister, Jessie, appear. He didn't know how or why, but with no one around the house to tell, he could only watch and see. He continued watching, seeing how she and the AI changed the course of the series. Then, Jessie disappeared after the battle at the end of season 11, and everyone went to the New Republuc without her. Then, she came back. With his sister and mom. He nearly dropped the cup of water he was holding, realizing the the house was really quiet. It was never this quiet.
Realization dawned on him that while his dad was at a party, his mom and sisters should be home, but they weren't. And here they were, on his computer screen, asking about what the fuck was going on. He continued to watch, but when he got to season 12 episode 4.. The videos stopped playing on him.
He raised an eyebrow at this. He tried to play it, but it wouldn't. Zack shook his head, then looked to the phone on the coffee table, deciding to call his dad. He'd find out half their family was missing sometime, right? He dialed the number, putting the phone to his ear. He heard a ring. Then another. Then another. And another one. Another.
Finally, someone picked up.
"Hello?" The familiar voice of Dad spoke up.
"Hey! It's Zack. We kinda have a problem."
"I don't care if Jessie took your Cheetos again, Zack! I'm in the middle of something!"
"What? No, it's worse. Mom, Jessie, and Kat are missing!"
A pause.
"What?"
"I said they're missing!"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes! And there's more."
"What?"
"Well, have you ever heard of Red vs. Blue?"
"...Yes."
"Well, you see... They're kinda in it.."
"What did you say?"
"Here: I walk out of my room looking for Mom, and she's not there. Instead, the computer in the living room is acting all crazy, so I go to it. Then an episode of Red vs. Blue comes up, so I watch it, and next thing I know, I see my sister on the screen looking as confused as can be. Then, weird stuff happens, and in the next season Mom and Kat come in. Right now, they're nowhere to be seen!"
"I'm coming home right now. We need to talk." He hung up the phone, leaving Zack to wait for him to come. He took this a lot better than expected. Probably nothing, he thought.

"So.. You know everything that's ever happened to us until the point where you actually came here," Tucker said, and Jessie nodded,
"Ten seasons' worth."
"Everything?" Wash asked, wanting more confirmation.
"Most stuff. Honestly, I'm not sure if I want to know the rest of what happened to you," Jessie said, and Wash let out a small sigh of relief, "Why?"
"Just... Some things aren't ones that should be found out."
Jessie narrowed her eyes in suspision, before shaking her head, "I also know parts of the future. It's hard to tell what will really happen, though, since what I know is from a universe where we never came here in the first place. Still, a lot of future stuff hasn't changed. I'd know quite a bit into the future, with who the real enemy is and all that stuff."
"The real enemy?" Tucker asked, "Aren't the Feds our enemy?"
Jessie out a hand to her mouth, silently cursing, "S-sure... let's just say that and pretend I never said anything!"
"Obviously, you're hiding something that you don't want us to find out. I'd figure out what it was, but I'm a bit busy right now," Grif said, "Eating Oreos is a very delicate process, and you shouldn't interrupt."
Carolina looked at Jessie, "You seem a bit skippy."
"I'm not sure if certain people would like what I have to say," Jessie said, "And I value my life enough not to," She finished, quickly glancing at Felix.
"Trust her. I already hate knowing what will happen. I just wish our presence here will stop it," Lily said, looking at everyone.
"And I wish I had finished the last couple of seasons," Kat muttered.
"Hopefully we'll have this all sorted out soon. If you know what will happen, you could be a key to winning this war," Kimbal said.
"Yeah.. sure..." Jessie muttered, "Just, beware: future stuff is complicated, and there are some people in here that I don't want hearing it."

She looked up at the clock. 4:30, time to go. Looking down, she grabbed her bags with what she'd need and sighed. Here we go again. Let's make it count. She pressed the button, and she was gone. She appeared again inside a house, staring at a boy as he called someone. When the call was finished, she walked up.
"Hey."
"Ah!" He jumped, before narrowing his eyes at her, "Wait, who are you?" The kid asked, looking at her.
"I am going to help you and your father out. It's nice to meet you, Zack."
"How do you know my name?" Asked Zack.
"That's not important right now," She answered, "For now, you can call me Allison."
