> A high rise apartment complex in Mid-Town Parrodipolis.
>
> The elevator doors open. There inside is one soul occupant. She exits shortly before the doors close behind her. She decked out in her normal attire, started from the ground up: a new pair of navy blue Chuck Taylor All-Star high tops. On her feet were argyle socks. Her pants are a well worn & ripped in places pair of blue jeans. Next up from that she had a plain grey short sleeved T-Shirt on. Under that shirt was a red & black long sleeved shirt. On her wrists were a few too many bracelets & a couple of wrist bands. A few of her fingers had some rings on them. Her black nail polish was cracked & chipped in places. In her right hand she carried a soaking wet greying black Hoodie. In fact all her clothes were in varying states of drying given that she had taken an impromptu dip in Parrodipolis Sound.

> Catherine Gillespie is getting to a point while she doesn't look like a drowned rat. She cold, tired & just wants to go back to her apartment get into some dry clothes & crawl into bed. But as she heads that way, she passes that apartment again, the one with the vortex that caused this incident. The door was still opened, Catherine wanted to just go on by. She get her stuff later, but someone was inside & was speaking rather oddly. Not odd like how Ronnie speaks but in some funny language.
>
> Catherine walks in & there he was, standing near the edge of the vortex. Catherine almost felt like running over there & saving him from it but then she noticed that it was sucking him into it. He was a tall, slender gentleman. In his right hand, he carried a grey Umbrella like it was a cane. He wore a plain looking three piece grey suit with a plain looking grey button down shirt with it was a plain looking grey tie. His shoes were pitch black & buffed to a shine. His brown hair was cut short & he was slightly balding up top. He had a neatly trimmed, well groomed Goatee. His emerald green eyes were slightly unearthly. He was mumbling something as he mumbled the vortex got smaller & smaller.
>
> Catherine just stood there. He then noticed she was there.
>
> "Hello, Miss Gillespie."
>
> "Hey, Spooky."
>
> There were a few moments of silence beyond the faint dripping noise coming from her jacket.
>
> "So, what are you doing?" She asked.
>
> "Closing this Vortex. Ones like these that are left open can be quite hazardous & lead to other foreseen occurrences." Mr. Spooky said like he had some experiences to back up this claim.
>
> "So, did you open this vortex?"
>
> "Yes."
>
> Catherine was a bit shocked that he was so quick to answer.
>
> "Why?" She asked.
>
> "Misters' Beeslyhuxtoy & Swiss were needed else where. This vortex was the quickest way to getting to their destination."
>
> "The Lair Legion's Mansion."
>
> "Yes. There were events happening there that needed the inclusion on Misters' Beeslyhuxtoy & Swiss."
>
> "Like what?"
>
> "All will be revealed in time."
>
> Catherine wasn't sure to make of that answer.
>
> "You don't know, do you?"
>
> "I know of a few possible outcomes, the one true outcome has yet to be chosen."
>
> "But Chad & Ronnie needed to be involved?"
>
> "Yes. The Outcomes with out their interference would have been dyer."
>
> No believing that, Catherine asked. "Like what?"
>
> "Another cosmic war."
>
> "With who?"
>
> "With Whom." He corrected.
>
> "There are Aliens called Whom?"
>
> "No. I was just correcting your grammar."
>
> "Oh. So do you know who might this war be with?"
>
> "Any number of people."
>
> "So.. by having Chad & Ronnie in the Mansion when it went poof saved the planet from having another war?"
>
> "Yes. But then those wars might still happen just not now."
>
> "Yeah. Right now it would suck since without the Legion I doubt we would have gotten through the last war."
>
> "We might of have. There would have been people who could have stepped up."
>
> "Like who.. whom.. who?"
>
> Mr. Spooky choose to let that one got by & said "You for one."
>
> "me?"
>
> "Yes."
>
> "I would have taken on the Parody Master?"
>
> "No. Not by yourself but with a group of like minded individuals & with some luck you could have."
>
> "Taken down the Big PM?"
>
> "No. But he would have left the Earth alone until the Legion had returned. You & your group would have died process."
>
> "oh. great."
>
> "Yes. But the lives of the many outweigh the few."
>
> "Well, I would have gone out in style."
>
> "No. Not unless 'going out in style' is being the personal concubine to a battalion of Avawarriors, then succumbing to any number of STDs'."
>
> Catherine couldn't tell if we was joking or not but choose not to ask.
>
> "So..." Catherine said changing the topic. "You know where the Guys & Legion are?"
>
> "Yes."
>
> "You do?"
>
> "Yes. I just said I did."
>
> "Then you should tell the Police, The Government, The Media, Somebody!"
>
> "They wouldn't believe me."
>
> "So, your not going to tell anyone?"
>
> "Yes."
>
> There were few moments of silence then Catherine asked "Is there anything else you haven't told anyone about because they wouldn't believe you?"
>
> "Yes. Many times."
>
> "Have I been one of those people?"
>
> "Yes. And before you ask, I won't tell you. Some event have already played out but others are forth coming."
>
> "Shouldn't I be ready for them?"
>
> "Yes, you should be."
>
> There was some moments of silence.
>
> 'Well aren't you going to tell me?"
>
> "No. It would not do you any good at the this point in time. Also, there is a good chance you'd forgive all about what I have said so it would not be of any use to you anyways."
>
> "Yeah. I guess so."
>
> More silence between the two. Then Catherine asks "Anything about Chad or Ronnie?"
>
> "Yes. That is mostly why I even associate with them. They are some of the most important non-important people in the Multiverse."
>
> "Important Non-Important?"
>
> "Yes."
>
> The way he answered told Catherine that she wasn't going to get any more on this line of questioning.
>
> "So.. what's going to happen now?"
>
> "I shall finish closing the vortex & you shall forget this entire conversation."
>
> "I will?" Catherine asked as Mr. Spooky's eyes glowed eye then everything went white.

> Catherine walks in & it wasn't there anymore. The Vortex was gone, like it nexver existed at all. There by the door was her messenger bag & on the side table was her now luke warm Grape soda. Now it wasn't all that bad warm but it tasted better cold.
>
> As she walked over to them, she noticed there was a puddle of water on the floor. She thought it was odd since she didn't remember it being there when she walked in. She looked around for what had made the puddle but the only thing she could think was herself & she hadn't made the puddle.
>
> She put on her bag & tossed out the soda. Then she walked over to Little Cat's cage. He was asleep in his hamster wheel. She said out loud to no one but herself "I'll take you with me until the guys some back from where ever they went off to."
>
> She then left, closing the door behind her.
