With everyone Ok and back on their feet Miles still didn't want to go because he didn't want to walk.

"He's a stubborn one isn't he?" Matt laughed then crouched down next to the protesting Miles. "What if you wouldn't have to walk, you agree to go then?" Miles looked at him considering.

"I could give you a piggyback ride if you want." Matt offered.

"No I want to ride on your shoulders that why I can be the tallest!" Miles demanded. Matt agreed and laughed.

"Good thing that's solved." Basil said then he noticed that Rease was missing. "Rease? Where did you go?" He scoped around not able to find him.

"Here." His voice came from behind. Basil turned around to see his face was scratch up and the cat on his shoulder sleeping soundly.

"What happened to you?" Basil asked.

"Bit got out of his box and ran off." Rease jester to the cat on his shoulder. "And was being stubborn as ever." Bit rushed back into his box as Rease lifted up towards him.

"Ha ha Stupid got hurt!" Miles laughed from Matt's shoulders.

"Why you!" Rease clinched his hands together into fists getting upset.

"Hey now we're all on the same team now aren't we?" Matt manage to break up the fight before it started.

"Fine. I'll let you deal with the annoying brat." Rease crossed his arms.

"I'm not annoying! You are annoying Stupid!" Miles shouted. Rease turned his head to the side ignoring him. They began walking in a random direction. They didn't know where they were going but it was away from the storm cloud. Basil thought about mentioning about heading back to the gorge but he figure they may hit anyway. He was amazed on how calm Matt was with a hyper Miles on his shoulders.

"Put me down. I'm tired of sitting." Miles said in Matt's ear. Matt bent down letting Miles hop off. As he watched Miles run ahead he told Matt,

"What is that about? You were never that good with Bridgette."

"Well we were a lot younger when we heard that Mom and Dad were having their own kid." He shrugged. Truth be told they confessed to each other they were worried about being pushed to the side when Mom and Dad told them they were having a baby. It wasn't uncommon for parents to adopt time adoptees to have parenting practice then toss them to the side when they have their own kid. That happened to one guy Basil knew. He was a fun guy but when the baby came he became isolated and distant. Even after Bridgette was born they still stayed well informed of their lives. But when she was four they became hit and run victims. They weren't even playing near the street and someone purposely veered off the road just to hit them. He woke up in hospital Mom worked at with his head, leg and chest wrapped up in bandages. She was the only person that came in his room except for Dad and Bridgette.

"I wonder if Mom even knows if something is wrong." Basil tilted his gaze upward. He felt Matt's hand on his shoulder,

"I guess we'll find out when we get home."

"Can't you give us a straight answer for once?!" Katherine shouted at the Elucidator. They had been asking questions for what felt like forever and barely learned anything new. JB was still sulking in the corner. TRY ASKING MORE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS. Helpful. Johan thought sarcastically.

"Are you saying that Matt is dead or that he's not in the time stream?" Johan tried. He kept his voice low at the part of Matt being dead incase JB was listening in. I DON'T KNOW IF MATT IS DEAD BECAUSE I CAN'T LOCATE HIM.

"If the Elucidator can't find him is it because he's in some secret place that no one discover yet or is he in some alternate dimension?" Chip squinted confused. BOTH OF THOSE IDEAS ARE POSSIBLE.

"Maybe we should get JB to help us." Katherine kept her voice low. Johan thought about it. What if we did all of this just to discover Matt is dead? Could JB handle that? He didn't want to cause him more pain but he did deserve to know Matt's fate.

"I'll see if I can get him to come over and help." Johan nodded agreeing with Katherine. For some reason it took a lot of mental effort to walk over there and sit down next to him.

"Feeling any better?" He instantly mentally hit himself. Of course he wasn't feeling any better! He wouldn't be sulking in the corner if he wasn't.

"Johan you know what ironic? Time traveling manages to fix and saves so many people lives but they time traveler can't go back to fix their own. Weird uh?" JB grinned sadly at nothing. Johan didn't know how to respond to that. Then JB shook his head.

"Johan I don't think I'll ever truly get over this but I will push this aside for right now and get to work! Besides Matt and Basil could be criticizing me right now if they saw me sitting here in on the job while they had to go to school." He gave a light smile and stood up. Walking back to the group Johan explained to him what the little they learned.
