Come Together
"I don't understand." Paige muttered as she paced, "Shouldn't he be back by now?"
Mara, who was sitting back with Zed and Bohdi, spoke up. "I mean, he should be….unless he's really upset. What did you say to him?"
"I've already told you." She stopped and looked to the three, then to the horizon, "Hopefully he didn't get himself derezzed."
"No need to worry about that." A voice laughed behind her.
Gasping, she turned to see the old program and….
"You!" Her gaze was on the ISO, wide and on the verge of anger. "What are you doing here?"
"She is here with me, Paige." The elder program stopped. "What happened in the past was not her fault."
"You don't understand! Quorra…" She broke off as she realized. "Wait, how do you know my name? How do you know that?"
"Flynn?"
Everyone looked back to see Abel entering the scene. "What are you doing here?"
Everyone turned back to Flynn, the programs in a silent awe. Their creator, right in front of them…
"I have news about Beck."
"Beck?" This snapped Paige out of the awe. "Is he alright?" She looked around.
"Where…where is he? He's not….?"
Flynn laughed and shook his head, "Let's say he realized it was time to go home."
"He's going back…" She muttered, turning away from a moment. She realized something and turned back, "Wait does that mean_?"
But Flynn and Quorra were already gone when she had turned back around.
"It has to mean that…" She muttered, pacing in her thought.
"What?" Zed got to his feet, "What does it mean?"
"He's gone back home to restore peace to the Grid."
"How's he going to do that?"
"I'm not sure…." She looked up to Zed, "But whatever it is, he can't go at it alone. I'm going back, too."
"I'll come with you." Mara stood and passed Zed, "He's my friend."
"Mine too." Bohdi said and joined Mara. Zed joined them.
Abel joined them, too. "I had known Tron. If he's going to bring peace back to the Grid, I want to help."
She blinked, surprised at their support. She shook her head.
"Alright. We better get going then. Tron city is a long way from here."
They nod and Abel gestures for them to follow him.
"Then let's go."
