A.N. Congrats to writer of tonight for being the first person to guess correctly! Others currently include: nobody. Shame. (I do NOT own Hamilton, even though I have almost the entire thing memorized. I am extreme Hamilton trash.)


Angelica came back in the room holding odd looking headphones. "Alex, here." She tossed the headphones to him and he almost caught them. As he bent over to pick them up, Angelica explained what Peggy had found. "She told me that when she put them on she could hear voices. Apparently they were your friends Alex. When she said something into the microphone, they freaked out. I think it's a way to communicate between the real world and the computer."

Alex put the headphones on, his face lighting up at the sound of a French accent. Angelica turned on the radio so she and Eliza could hear the whole conversation. The Frenchman, Laf, said "Who was that?" "Alex?" another voice joked. "Non, non." Laf replied. "Whoever it was was female." Alex raised the microphone so that it was near his mouth. "Hi guys!"

Chaos ensued. A chorus of "Alex!" rose from the radio. "Where have you been mon ami?" Laf asked. "We were all worried." Alex smiled. "It's a long story." "Well?" the Virginian, Washington, asked. Alex sighed. "You're not gonna let me go until I tell you aren't you." A mutter of consent echoed around the group in the computer. "Well.. I'm outside the computer." Alex began.

"Smash the other sphere." a voice urged from over the radio. It won't hurt us that much and you shouldn't be alone." one of the other voices, who had introduced himself as John chimed in. Alex looked pleadingly at Eliza and Angelica. "Oh all right." Angelica sighed. "I guess it would be easier to teach two at once."

Eliza took the other orb from the pouch around her neck and threw it at the floor. The blinding white light burst through the room again. When the light cleared, Alex was crouched next to whoever it was that had just come out.
The newcomer was dressed in the same kind of white ruffled shirt and military pants as Alex. He also had white hair tied in a low ponytail and the same orangeish eyes. "Which one are you?" Eliza asked. "Don't forget to open your mouth." The new arrival glared at them. "Why should I trust you?" Alex grinned. "Because I trust them." The newcomer recognised the voice and smiled back at Alex. "I'm J0HN, but most people call me John."

A new voice crackled from over the radio. "Are you all there?" The voice also had a Virginian accent, but this one was crueler. "Yes." Alex hurriedly announced through the headphones. "Good." the voice responded. "Prepare for company. We need more power. I have my sights set on the Schuylers, so prepare for women." Angelica and Eliza exchanged a panicked look. "Yes Jefferson." Laf responded and the voice spoke no more.

Angelica paced up and down the room. "We need to make a plan. I trust this Jefferson guy about as far as I can throw him and I am NOT becoming part of his plans." John was still standing up with help from Alex, his legs shaking. "First of all, we need to get out of this house." he said. "Jefferson is going to expect the three of you to be here. We need to grab Peggy and leave." Angelica made a noise of agreement as the front door of the house was busted down.
