Chris stood there blinking for a minute or two, until Aviva sighed, and started typing once more, asking again, "Sir, do you have an appointment or not?"

Chris snapped out of it, and cleared his throat, "A-Aviva is that you?"

Aviva froze and looked up slowly, not answering.

"Are you Aviva Corcovado, are you not?" Chris asked again.

Aviva nodded slowly, "Yes, I am... how do you know me?"

Chris smiled shaking his head, "How could I not know you? You're the girl that created the Creature Power Suit, and you are one of the best inventors I know!"

Aviva shook her head and went back to typing, "I'm sorry, but, I never created anything called the Creature Power Swim-suit or whatever... and I really don't invent anymore..."

Chris blinked, "Well, that's only because Zach brainwashed you!"

Aviva looked up at him with a questioning look, "Who now?"

"Zach! You know, 'Mr. Varmitech'?" Chris tried to reason.

Aviva looked as if she would almost laugh, "I'm sorry sir, but our kind leader Mr. Varmitech wouldn't do such a thing..."

Chris sighed, "Yes, he would."

Aviva shook her head, "No, he wouldn't."

"Would."

"Wouldn't."

"Would."

"Wouldn't."

Chris paused and thought for a second, "Er, wouldn't...."

"Would."

"Wouldn't!"

"Would!"

"Wouldn't!"

"He would sir, and that's final!" Aviva insisted, a bit angry.

Chris chuckled, "You said it, not me..."

Aviva groaned in annoyance, and reached for the phone, "That's it... I'm calling security..."

Chris's eyes widened, "No wait!" and he quickly grabbed her hand before she picked up the phone.

"Let go of me!" Aviva screamed as she stood up, trying to pull her arm away from Chris.

Chris let go, and lowered his voice, "Please Aviva, I really need your help... you may not remember me, but I use to be your friend. Christopher Kratt. And if you just listen to me, maybe you'll understand..."

"Christopher Kratt?" Aviva said blinking, "Chris Kratt..." the name seemed terribly familiar. And not to mention, there was a friendly gleam in Chris's brown eyes that made Aviva wonder about a few things...

Suddenly Zach-bots came over, and went beside the desk. They had heard all the commotion and were a little concerned.

"Is everything alright miss?" One asked.

"Is this man bothering you?" the other started, "If so we can take him away." the bot took Chris's arm quickly.

Chris looked at Aviva with pleading eyes. And Aviva looked down. She wondered if there was more to this man that met the eye.

"He's fine..." Aviva said finally, "You may release him."

And the bots let go of Chris, and went on their way. Chris was overall surprised, but didn't want to question her on why she had done that... for all he knew, she could have the bots come back to take him away.

"Now tell me," Aviva started, when the bots were out of sight, "Chris Kratt, how do you seem to know more about me, then I know about myself?"

Chris sighed, and looked around, just to make sure no one was listening, then he told her everything that he could.

Aviva was overtaken by a few things he said, and didn't want to believe them. But, over the years she could tell when a man was lying, and, Chris was only telling her the truth.

So after while, Chris finally finished, "-And that's why I need your help."

Aviva leaned back in her chair, "Well, tell me. How do you plan on stopping Zach? Because you don't seem like the kind of guy that would kill someone to make things right..."

Chris shook his head, "I'm not. Killing him would be stooping down to a villain's level... I can't do something wrong to make something right, that doesn't work. But, I don't know what will work either..."

"Can I suggest an idea?" Aviva offered. She was surprised that she already trusted Chris so much; even though they just met, she definitely felt she had known him for a long time. And, unknown to her, she had known him for a long time.

Chris nodded, "Please."

"Well, to put things right, all you would have to do is go back in time again." Aviva said.

Chris blinked, "Er... I don't understand..."

"Listen, you said your brother wasn't able to keep the world safe without you, correct?" She said.

"Correct..."

"Then, if you go back to the time right after you were transported away, you can make sure you are able to be there for your brother; and the future we're in now, would change." Aviva said, trying to explain the best she could.

Chris nodded, "Ah, I see... Only one problem, how do I get back? Last time I was zapped away by Zach's sonic boom machine, and your hand-held transporter..."

Aviva smiled, "Easy. Zach kept the old machine of his, and he kept my little transporter. In this very building even. He also has your power suits in the same room."

Chris blinked, "Really? That's convenient!" (Me; No, that's me trying to move the story along! XD)

Aviva nodded, "Yep... but we'd better hurry... Pedestrians aren't aloud in the building for a long period of time, the Zach-bots will come back soon."

Chris took a deep breath, "Alright. Lead the way." And they both headed for the elevator.


They both walked down the halls for a few minutes, until they reached a large metal door.

Aviva quickly put her hand on the hand scanner, and the metal door opened up. Inside it was dark, but the light from the hallway revealed enough.

Inside were many old, broken down machines, along with old inventions Chris recognized immediately.

"There's Jimmy Z's teleporter and controller!" Chris said going over to the old device. He picked up the controller and blew off the dust, "Why would Zach have this?"

Aviva shrugged, "After all you told me, I suppose he kept it all as a somewhat museum of his old foes..."

Chris sighed sadly, and put down the remote. He really did miss Jimmy, as he thought more about it. He missed Koki too... along with Survivor, and all the other family and friends that weren't there anymore.

Aviva looked down, and as if reading his thoughts said, "I know you must miss your friends..."

Chris nodded, "More then you know..."

Aviva put a hand on his shoulder, "I'll go look for the sonic boom machine and the transporter remote..." and she headed back into the dark room.

Chris was about to put the controller down when he felt a hand on his shoulder. Chris froze, then quickly spun around to see who was behind him.

He gasped to see his brother standing there, wearing a blue shirt like he use to, along with grey jeans, and hiking boots... and he wasn't wearing glasses to Chris's surprise.

"Martin!" Chris said overjoyed, "I can't believe you came! And without glasses!"

Martin smiled, "I wasn't going to loose my brother again. And, those glasses are just for reading..."

Chris smiled and chuckled. But, he then thought of Kitty and his nephews... he then turned away from Martin, sighing sadly, "You shouldn't be here Martin. It's dangerous, and Zach's going to track down your family... You should have not come..."

Martin was about to answer, when someone else's voice came clear, echoing into the room, "Yes... you shouldn't have come..."

Martin and Chris turned to see none other then Zach Varmitech standing at the doorway, grinning evilly. He wore a impressive black suit, and was definitely older then the last time Chris had seen him.

Aviva came back with the transporter remote in hand, "Hey Chris, I found the machine it's over-" she then saw Zach and screamed, then put her hands over her mouth.

Zach glared at her, "Miss Corcovado, have you forgotten I have video cameras all over my building?"

Aviva mentally slapped herself, "Oh no..."

"Oh no is right... you're in big trouble Miss, and you!" Zach said jabbing a finger at Martin, "I thought we had an agreement?"

"It was more like a forced agreement Zach!" Martin growled.

"I don't care! But, you don't have to worry about supporting your family with a job anymore, because in a few minutes, you're not going to have a family!" Zach said grinning again, going over to the wall and flipping on a light switch, "I've already sent Zach-bots to dispose of little miss Blondie and the two little brats!"

Martin's eyes widened with anger and fear, as Chris shouted, "They're not brats!"

Zach blinked and looked at him, "Who are you? Wait... do I know you? You look familiar..." Zach paused and thought for a second, "Have I threatened you before?"

Chris nodded in frustration, "Actually yes, you have threatened me many times."

"Then who are you?" Zach asked, getting impatient.

Chris narrowed his eyes, "I'm Chris Kratt."
