Sydney wakes up with a start, gasping for air, and sitting up-right. A woman bursts in and Sydney looks around wildly.

"Where's Steve?" She asks. She looked to be in a hospital, and a game was playing on the telly. But, then again, it didn't seem right.

"Don't worry, he's perfectly safe," The nurse says. Sydney relaxes a bit, but doesn't trust the woman. There was something off about her. "Why don't you lay back down?"

"No," Sydney says and the woman nods.

"Would you like to watch the game?" The nurse asks. Sydney turns her attention to the screen when she realizes something. She was there, at that game! Her eyes widen. This couldn't be the forties if she was at the game.

"I need to go," Sydney says and she gets up.

"No, I must insist that you stay," The woman says, trying to push Sydney back down onto the bed.

"DON'T TOUCH ME!" Sydney screams, and hitting the woman away from her. That's when everything stops. The woman in frozen in the air, the telly wasn't working, and the fan wasn't spinning. Nothing was moving. She opens the door and walks out and finds the exit to the building. She sees her brother was already out there. Suddenly, things are moving again. That's when she realized she couldn't feel her right hand, though it was covered with a glove.

"Steve?" She asks. He turns around and runs to her, enveloping her in a hug. "What's going on Steve?" Sydney looks around at the buildings. Suddenly cars surround them, modern cars, and a man steps out.

"At ease soldier!" The man says. He was wearing an eyepatch, which Sydney thought was quite strange. "Look I'm sorry about that little show back there, but we thought it best to break it to you two slowly."

"Break what?" Steve asks for the twins.

"You've been asleep, for almost 70 years," The man says. Overwhelmed, they look around, unable to speak. "Are you gonna' be okay?"

"Yea. Yea, it's just..." Sydney says, losing her train of thought. "He had a date." Sydney points to her brother.

"You know, Miss Rogers, we are always looking for new recruits. How about once you get settled in, you think about it?" The man asks and Sydney nods.

"Sure. I'll think about it," She says.
