Y/n blinked in confusion, standing still as Hobie's room began to materialize around her.

She turned around, watching as he calmly began pulling all of his stolen trinkets out of his pockets and placing them on his desk.

"Hobie what the fuck."

"Hm?" He lifted his head in confusion.

"I didnt ask you to take me with you." Y/n huffed.

"Well you sure weren't dying to stay." He said, going mack to his trinkets.

"Hobie Im serious! I wanted to go after Miles."

"Why?" Hobie sat at his desk.

"I-I wanted to talk to him. He needs our help!" Y/n huffed at his nonchalant attitude.

"He got our help, I helped him get free."

"That wasn't enough and you know that!" Y/n raised her voice.

"Whats got you all in a twist, uh?" Hobie firrowed his eyebrows.
"Why is it so important that you talk to this kid? What are you gonna say to him?"

"I..I." Y/n stuttered. "I dont know but-"

"I knew you didnt know. Your life is never easy if you go sticking your nose in things that have nothing to do with you." He matched her volume, now standing in-front of her. She pulled her mask from her face aggressively.

"Hobart you do not know me! Stop acting like you do!" Y/n huffed, voice stern.

Hobie's eyes were wide, seemingly surprised by the use of his full name, fists balled in frustration, yet his voice came out in a strained whisper.
"You wont let me know you, y/n."

"Yeah well, maybe this is why." Y/n mumbled.
"Im going to find him."

Hobie took a breath, going back to sit at his desk.

"Iant' got a watch, if you go I wont be able to find you." He said back turned to her.

She didnt reply, only opening a portal back to Hq and leaving.

Then y/n was in the room with the machine they used to send back the anomalies. She could see from her perch behind a matter equalizer that Spider-byte was panicking. The machine was scanning and materializing with seemingly nothing in its grip.

"You're not help!" Byte yelled to Lyla, running around the control panel and trying to dismantle the process.

Y/n squinted at the machine, the aura inside was shifting like there was something there, but she couldn't see anything.

Then she remembered Miles mentioning he could turn invisible.

"Thats so smart." She silently cheered.

Then Miguel came hounding down the room towards the machine.

Miles, now startled, appeared in the clutches of the machine, eyes wide as O'hara began to rip through the force field with his bare claws, almost snarling in Mile's face.

Quickly y/n swung over to Spider-byte, catching her wrist that was hovering over the 'abort process' button on the screen.

"Do me this one favor, please." Y/n mumbled in her ear.
"Let him go."

She stilled for a moment, most likely weighing her options, before she slowly placed her hand onto the counter, away from the screen.

"Thank you." Y/n mumbled, then slinging a web aimed at Miguel. Within a few short seconds, she had swung herself through the opening he had carved with his claws, crashing into Mile's standing form.

Miguel growled, scratching at her and effectively clawing her watch off her arms and shattering it just before the machine sent them away.
