Red Arrow had finished drawing the heart, and had moved on to sketching a nearby flower. She really didn't want to talk to people right now. She had a feeling she would be questioned about her motivations and life, but those were questions she really didn't have answers for. Everytime Question Kid used his powers on her, the memories would jumble and often rearrange themselves. So many universes travelled (girl is based on all those character's ruined by contiunity) that truth and lies were blurred.

Okay Chief. Let's do this. Our destination is none other than Dedman's PowerSphere.

Red Arrow put away her journal. She said, "I would like some tea." She couldn't help smiling at Power Boy as she walked past. How can I talk to him? Won't he think I'm weird?

I hope you'll forgive me, Rocky, but I'm a bit weary after the chase we've been on. I think I'm going to pass on the tea and retire to my quarters.
<Ex bid goodnight to his companions and walked down the hall to the room reserved for him. He hoped noone noticed the slight haste to his steps, but he couldn't wait to get a moment alone>
<Ever since he had snagged the bag full of papers from Nyebif at the Casino, he had been waiting for an opportune time to get a closer look. His initial once over jibed with Cobalt's take... financial records tying various fronts across Legion World to the Dark Oval... but there was something else more interesting that had caught Ex's eye, something that he needed more time to examine>
<Again, Ex quickened his pace and, reaching his quarters, shut the door behind him>

<Ex closed the door behind him. Wow... opulent digs... apparently wealth has its privilege, he thought, then immediately caught himself. Enough with the money talk, Ex... there are bigger fish to fry.>
<He moved over to sit on the side of the bed, and upended the content's of Nyebif's bag. Papers spilled out across the bed.>
<Where was it? Finance records... no... organizational charts... no... info on tax shelters... no. Damn it, where was it?>
<Wait... bingo!>
<Ex pulled a sheath of papers from the pile and looked at the title with a mix of sad disbelief and resignation. It had been nearly 20 years since he had seen the words that were emblazened on the title page, and he had thought he had long put it behind him:>
Project Möbius
<How the hell did Nyebif get a hold of this and, more to the point... when? He looked at the side of the sheath... still sealed. Whatever was inside, Nyebif never got a chance to examine it. Thank God for small miracles. Ex tore open the cover and began to read:>
<Ex grew more maudlin. He had known some of these>
<He flipped through the pages, at first slowly, then quicker as each subsequent entry revealed more of the same:>
Subject C-Null - deceased 2974 <flip>
Subject D-Five - deceased 2980 <flip>
Subject F-Twenty Seven - deceased 2991 <flip>
Subject M-Six - deceased 3004... <flip>
<They're all gone, Ex thought with the briefest flash of regret. But why does this document even still exist? The very architect of Project Möbius was himself 20 years dead. Who had compiled this?>
<Dont look, Ex told himself... don't do it.>
<Of course you'll look. He flipped forward:>
Subject X-Null - status unknown
<Ex's lips pursed tightly. Someone knows.>
<He quickly scanned throught the remainder of the list. All deceased. The loop was almost closed. He tossed the list into the fireplace and watched it burn.>
Well... I knew it had to happen sooner or later, but I was really hoping for a little more time. There's nothing to be done now, but soon as this terrorist crisis on Legion World is concluded, it's time to pay a long overdue visit to my "dear old dad".

Red Arrow was indeed confused. Really, Red Arrow you must stop breaking promises to yourself. Whenever you date non-street-levelers bad things happen, She thought.But I really can't help it. I like being in love.
Love is the "higher magics",the Soul Gem Spirit thought to her. She looked down at her necklace and smiled. She would survive this war and everything will be fine.

<Sir Roy approaches the Rookery to be sure Red Arrow is inside. He sees Rockhopper Lad>
Your highness! I suspected you were here but did not know for sure!
<bows>
'Tis been too long!
<Upon seeing Rockhopper Lad, both noble and just, Sir Roy suddenly feels a strange feeling--guilt. Until now he believed all his actions were right but the presence of he who knighted him causes him to see he may have strayed from his Path>
I...I...milord...forgive me, I feel as if I'm out of breath...
