  Two people appeared in front of them. One of them, a woman, was yelling, "Bomb, bomb, bomb! Get it off me!"

  Josh grabbed Liv and dragged her behind the kitchen wall. "Bomb, bomb, bomb!"  He yelled. Wolf sprung into action, immediately jumping on the woman and trying to disable the bomb.

  "Don't move!" He commanded her. 

  "Just chop my arm off!" She wailed.

  "Stop moving, if you breathe wrong this blows." Wolf said urgently. Tiger followed Liv and Josh behind the kitchen wall, all bracing for an explosion that never came. "Clear!" Wolf called out.

  "Fuckin' skull cunts tagged me just as I jumped!" The woman shouted.

  "Dingo, what happened? Where's the rest of the team?" Tiger asked, emerging from behind the wall. Liv and Josh also walked out, eyeing someone with a hood over their face, struggling to get it off.  They looked at each other with wide eyes to see if they were looking at the same thing.

  "Dead. Just like you, I just watched you die." The woman, Dingo, said, pointing at Tiger in disbelief.

  "Guys, is anybody else noticing the hooded slave?" Josh asked.

  Wolf gasped. "That's no slave!" He rushed over to the person, removing the chain from around his neck and throwing the hood off. The man underneath gasped in the fresh air. "Owl!" Wolf cried excitedly.

  "Wolf! Much obliged." They pulled each other into a tight hug.

  "Pre-myrmed Owl!" Liv mouthed to Josh excitedly, giving him a thumbs up.

  Owl turned to Tiger, who looked like she might cry if she had the ability to. "Tiger!"

  "Owl!" She gasped.

  "My good friend." They pulled each other into a tight hug.

  "How are you alive?" Tiger asked, voice full of awe.

  "Dingo saved me from a Biotic necro chamber, I've been tortured in and out of consciousness for about three weeks." Owl said.

  "So one of you must be Avoid-The-Tunnel." Dingo looked at Liv and Josh.

  Josh nodded and stepped forward to shake her hand. "Welcome to our time."

  Dingo looked him up and down. "The greatest warrior in history?"

  "This wee boy?" Owl also studied Josh. "I'm going to '69 with him?"

  "Oh Jesus." Liv snorted from behind Josh, turning Owl and Dingo's gazes to her.

  "And who are you?"

  "This is Avoid-The-Tunnel's friend, Liv." Tiger said.

  "Well, we-" Josh and Liv both started.

  "Friend who is a girl who he gets gross with sometimes." Tiger corrected herself as she pat Liv on the shoulder. Owl and Dingo seemed to accept this answer.

  "Josh, you'll have to explain to them…what happened."
Wolf said. "You know, with that thing Liv said. Anomaly or something."

  "Oh, uh, yeah, I guess that makes sense." Josh said.

  Josh found a whiteboard and had Wolf help him bring it down the stairs (Wolf carried it while Josh kept a hand on the side so he felt like he was "helping").

  Josh explained to Owl and Dingo everything that had happened up to that point, the dance battle in '69, James Cameron's house in 2023, telling Kronish about his future in '85, and the new fucked up 2017. Owl and Dingo chowed down on Wolf's hors d'oeuvres as they listened.
