The first thing that Ry was aware of was a blaring white light assaulting her surprisingly weary eyes. Though it wasn't surprising given they were in darkness for who knew how long. The second thing she was aware of was surprisingly not the bed she was on but the commotion going on around her, wherever that may have been.

"What the hell do you think you are doing!?" shouted a gruff voice. Ry winced a little. The shout was a little loud for her ears. Again, they seemed to have been used to silence for while. It was a really baffling thing for the young woman.

"Trying to get to my sister you damn fool," came the reply of a very agitated Arty. Ry smiled a weak, but wry smile. All hell broke loose when Arty got mad or agitated. He was naturally a calm, easy-going guy who rarely became vocal or violent in a time of distress. However, once Arty snapped, it was hard to get him sedate again.

"Too bad, you gotta stay put," came the gruff voice again, irritated as well. Who ever it was needed to realize that Arty could be dangerous if provoked long enough. Then again this curmudgeon didn't seem to handle people well. Or Ry's brain was just overloading with all that was going on. She was far from home, and still far from the one person who understood her better than even herself at times. Giving a weak moan of protest as her body ached, Ry attempted to shift position to let Arty know she was awake.

His reaction was instant. Gone was his anger, and instead excitement and joy filled his face before he rushed to his sister's side, taking her hand in his. "Ry? Ry! Can you hear me? Are you okay? What hurts? When were you born? What are our parents names? Tell me the theorem we worked on didn't boggle your cognitive abilities at all. RY!" a frantic Arty said, speaking.

Ry chuckled slightly. Over reaction was a strong suit of his. Since her eyes seemed to have adjusted fairly well, Ry attempted to open them, looking over at Arty. He looked like when he first got the lab. A kid who just woke up on Christmas, ready to open presents. Though both of their eyes were sparkling like that.

"Damn it, Arty!" she said weakly, rasping slightly along the way. Her throat was surprisingly hoarse. It was as if she had just finished shouting for an entire day. "Shut up! All of China and Japan could have heard ya!" she chuckled exasperatedly, coughing as the laughs worked her lungs up. Arty gave her a worried look, which she quickly returned to prove she was alright.

"I'm fine, Arty. My birthday is the same as yours and other than feeling like I was hit by a bus, nothing seems to be permanently damaged," she explained, placating the man. Arty just smiled and sighed in relief. It had really thrown him for a loop when he woke up not knowing where he was or where Ry was. He was eternally grateful that she was there with him and was just as fine as he.

He took her hand again and gave it a gentle squeeze which was returned. Their eyes danced in merriment when they realized they were the first time travelers...EVER. The fact they proved those damn professors and scientists wrong made them giddy with delight. Both were safe, and by the looks of the fancy place which seemed to be a hospital or clinic of sorts, they both made it to the future.

"I hate breaking up this heart-warming scene, but I have to continue making sure you two aren't contagious or have any malformations that would endanger people aboard this vessel,"came the voice of that gruff man. Both twins looked over at him with curious gazes.

It didn't really phase the two of his appearance per se. He was average height, though a little shorter than Arty; his eyes were a nice hazel that reminded Ry of her childhood crush; his overall appearance was that of a man who worked hard and had a rough life as evidenced by the frown lines and scowl the man seemed to always wear. Ry felt her heart go out to the man. He seemed almost like her father who seemed always tired and run down despite his protests he was just fine.

Ry felt her eyes sting a little at the thought of her dad, but after blinking hard, the tears were gone. She wasn't one for tears. Not that she never cried, but Ry would rather die than be seen crying by anyone other than Arty.

Crying was embarrassing to Ry. The young woman thought herself to be above such things. However, Arty would be the first to say that Ry was anything but a cold-hearted woman. In fact, he knew she was the most kind and caring person he knew, despite her rather male like presence.

The doctor raised an eyebrow at the two who were looking more and more like mad scientists. "I don't know what you two are grinning manically about, but cut it out," he said approaching the two and pulling out a hypo-spray.

Ry flinched slightly at the sight of the needle protruding from the metallic object. For being a strong girl, she had some pathetic fears. Needles happened to be one of them. She relaxed a little when Arty squeezed her hand. He had a way of calming her peculiar fears. Some claimed that the two were yin and yang personified, but they never gave much time for religion.

"Sir, I really must protest to any further tests," Arty said, trying to persuade the doctor to not jab at his sister. "We are in prefect health and are in no-' before he could get any further with his sentence, the young lad was surrounded by a bright light that made both the doctor and Ry close their eyes lest they be blinded.

When the light dimmed and Ry and the doctor were able to open their eye again, Ry's eyes widened and she shrieked loudly before passing out with the revelation that she was alone in a strange time with strange people.

"Holy shit," the wide eyed scowling doctor said to the empty space before him.

Artemis Montgomery was no longer in the future.
