Tried to save myself but myself keeps slipping away..

*But the silence finally lifted! A text came through, asking him to meet her at Big Shots so she could take him up to her apartment. She had someone she wanted Rust to meet.*

*It had took him the first 5 hours to realize his sister had suddenly gone silent and wasn't texting, which was weird considering they were constantly yapping together the second he'd be able to get a break from his job.

Was she hurt? Was her Wi-Fi hurt? Was her phone eaten by the little sprite and now she was trying to catch a pigeon to send him messages? Whatever theory he had cooked eventually did not matter as his phone finally chimed with the notification sound he had set up specifically for her. She was ok! And she had someone she wanted him wanted to meet!! Sweet!!!

Grabbing his keys he jumped onto his motorcycle, driving away towards the Cafe they had first met some days ago. Once he had arrived, he parked the vehicle, hopping down and approaching his sister*

Hi!! Glad you could finally text! Was kinda worried the little guy had eaten your phone.

*Keisha laughed warmly, leading Rust upstairs as she kept talking.*

Do you remember the guy I was telling you about from my dreams? The black and white haired one? Well.. It turns out he was real!! He found me, and I've been distracted with him.

*She opened the door to her apartment, smiling and waving at her beloved @the-voidbound. She turned back to Rust,*

Rust removed his helmet, allowing his face to be shown and happily took Arthur's hand in a firm handshake.*

That's me! People also call me Rust so feel free to do so yourself too if you like nicknames!

I have.. I thought you were just a man in my dreams until I saw you again.. until the fog lifted and I could remember you properly again.

*Her gaze returned to Rust,*

We were together properly when I was on the island; before my sleep.. but- I think the length of my sleep made me forget. Either way, I'm lucky to have him.

*Rust thought for a moment at his question*

Depends on which island you mean, actually. You see the Zero Point isn't exactly keen on leaving people live in one island, especially when your connected to a man who's member of a group of heroes, they're the first to be chucked in new islands.

But to give you a simpler answer, for this island specifically I've been here since last december!

*And it didn't look anything like what it did now.*

I've only ever seen Oninoshima.. I don't know about Arthur. He's been awake far longer then me from what I can gather, though. Right, hun?

*She nestled against Arthurs arm, going quiet with thought. Was.. This island no longer Oninoshima? Was she really no longer home? She figured the island had changed drastically during her sleep, but she hadn't realized just how much everything had changed until now. The Battlewoods is all she's seen so far.*

Heh, Höllvania.. stupid name.. or- that couldn't be home, that was stupid. Not that I, remember..

That was the easy way to put it, easier than trying to explain, anything. He'd tell Keisha about the weird giant sphynx cat later.. probably. I've only seen Oninoshima, and here out of what I, do remember.

He shrugged, but his eyes were lit with curiousity now. He wanted to hear about other realities..

*Rust almost bounced on his feet. He was always excited to talk about his shenanigans!*

When I joined the Wastelanders we actually ended up in an Island called Helios, and that island was dope! It had a lot of cozy urban locations that eventually got taken over by a man called Doctor Doom, and everyone there had to basically fight him to regain the island.

Then the Zero Point made us time travel to an old island called Apollo, but i don't know much about that one because all I know is that the one I saw was actually manipulated and the events weren't the same. I try to catch the gossip Lord Megalo Don has but he tends to say everything is classified...even breakfast.

Then there was Oninoshima which you guys saw and before this island a really...really weird-colored urban city called Springfield, and that month i spent there was like a fever dream because it was crazy.

I still go to the Wasteland given I live there but I mainly chill at my workplace which is the Reality Warriors' base.

*Rust chuckled*

*Keisha nodded, letting Arthur's arm go to move towards her brother. She gave him a small hug, before pulling back to look at him with that warm, sisterly smile.*

We should probably rest up for that.. And you, should get back to your team. You've been very busy from the sounds of your texts, I just.. really wanted you to meet Arthur.

*She turned to Arthur,*

Arthur smiled, looking back to Rust It was good meeting you Rust, you stay safe now, okay ?

*But the silence finally lifted! A text came through, asking him to meet her at Big Shots so she could take him up to her apartment. She had someone she wanted Rust to meet.*

@the-darkest-voyage

!! Just a, just a sec, sweets-

Voyager, I've been, uhm- preoccupied, apologies.

Fine. Deliver the intel quickly, though. The cubes grow impatient.

*ahem* I can take care of myself just fine, thank you Voyager.

The cubes can wait, I'm sure.

They can, but they don't like to wait.

I just have horrible anxiety answering phone calls, really.

But good !! I wouldn't want to disappoint you or your cubes.

That is good to hear, sir.

*She noticed the gentleman at the end of the same row of shelves as her, and he felt.. familiar? But not quite. She stared at him from where she was for now.*

*That suit.. It looked like something she had made a while ago, modeling it after old Seven suits she'd heard about via whispers among islanders why back when.. She wondered if she had made it, if that was someone she knew, but she was too nervous to approach. Staring wasn't polite, but she wasn't sure what else to do.*

Squares, he was looking for squares. How hard was it to find cubed snacks out here ?

*When she noticed he was, she stopped; she was about 10 meters away from the entrance to her apartments stair flight, so she figured if this went south she could just run, but- She needed to know who this was.*

He wanted to grab her, spin her around, and hold her, sounding so hopeful as he spoke that nickname, trying to remind himself of her real one.

..Hun?

That's when he did the only thing that felt right. He picked her up, holding her and twirling her around.

*Keisha gripped his shoulders a bit when she was lifted, laughing warmly as she was spun. This.. This was that feeling; the empty void in her chest was filling rapidly as he held her, and she leaned in to gently rest her forehead agasint his. He was home.. And she had never felt more complete.*

Oh Arthur.. Thank goodness you're alright..

*His name felt so natural as she spoke it, and she knew without a doubt that he was the man she remembered; the man she took care of.. the man she'd fallen madly in love with before her sleep.*

*Keisha nestled into his hand a bit, a content sigh escaping as she just.. stood in his arms. She began pulling away, but her hand found one of his as she started pulling him behind her.*

You won't have to be without me anymore.. Come on. I have to introduce you to Cuddles!! And I have to show you our new home!! Or, what we have for now, anyway.

He could fill her in later; for now, only she mattered.
