"You ok", Kidman asked.
"I'm still trying to wrap my head around all this", Kyra said, "all this time... all the guilt I've kept...",
"It was never your fault, it was all Mobius' fault", Kidman stated, "... I also want to apologize again, though I knew everything, I couldn't tell you...",
"I know, you were keeping me safe... I still trust you, and I'm gonna need you while I'm in there", Kyra explained, "I don't think I can do this by myself",
"I'll be there if you need me", Kidman reassured, "though I'll be under supervision, I can carefully send you the information you need",
"Thanks", Kyra said as they pulled into the base.
"Remember, what I told you about our actual plan", Kidman asked.
"What plan", Kyra asked back with a small smile as Kidman nodded her head; staying by Kidman's side, they finally reached the main room, as she looked around, she saw five different people inside a STEM pod, Leon inside another as the one beside him was empty.
"Leon", Kyra muttered to herself.
"Kyra Castellanos, back from the dead I see", a voice called out.
"Why don't you just show your face already", Kyra threatened as the chairman walked out from behind a closed-up pod in the center of the room.
"I see you've gained a temper throughout the past years", the chairman stated.
"Just cut to the chase, where is Lily", Kyra asked, anger in her tone.
"She's right here", the chairman stated, tapping his hand on the center pod, "but knowing you, you probably already know about that; I believe you've already been filled in on the situation",
"Lily vanished, you sent a team in after her and they too vanished", Kyra explained, "you then sent him in to find her, but he hasn't found her yet; and now you're sending me in to get them all out, is that correct or have I left anything out",
"Any other questions before you get started", the chairman asked.
"Yeah, just one", Kyra said, giving the chairman a small smile, then punching him in the face in a swift motion, breaking his nose in the process; the guards quickly restrained her as most of the members, especially Kidman were trying to hold in their laughter as the chairman was holding his now broken nose with one hand, blood seeping through.
"It's your choice now; save them, or leave them to die", the chairman sneered as he walked out of the room.
"Kid, let's get this over with", Kyra muttered as Kidman nodded her head; following Kidman to the empty pod, she got in; Kidman began typing on the computer right next to her, the chairman, watching from above.
"You remember the plan", Kidman mumbled loud enough for Kyra to hear.
"Yeah,", Kyra muttered nodding her head.
"Just remember, I'm out here for you", Kidman stated, plugging in a USB drive, later mumbling, "and she'll be in there for you",
"Just keep my dad away from this thing", Kyra asked.
"I can't make any promises, just don't stay dark for a long time and we should avoid that order", Kidman explained, "ready to enter",
"As ready as I'll ever be", Kyra said with a sigh as Kidman activated the STEM entry process.
"Entering STEM in 3"
Kyra leaned back in the pod, relaxing her body and putting her wrist on the back of her other wrist.
"2"
Water began filling the pod and stopping halfway, Kyra could feel the water on her fingertips.
"1"
Kyra closed her eyes as she began to fell herself fall backwards until she fell in what seemed to be of water.
"This seems... familiar", Kyra thought as she opened her eyes, her fall slowing down as she touched the ground, darkness was all she could see; not long after, a desk appeared and a ringing noise was heard; approaching the desk, she saw what seemed to be of a communicator phone, Kyra then picked it up and answered it.
"Hello", Kyra called out.
"Kyra, It's Kidman", Kidman said.
"Hey... am I in", Kyra asked.
"Yes, you made it in safely, your currently sound asleep here; take a look around, what do you see", Kidman asked as a familiar room appeared around her.
"It's dad's office... back at the KCPD", Kyra said, "I remember he let me use his office when I worked there",
"I see... Kyra, there should be a billboard there with pictures on it", Kidman said as Kyra saw the billboard with 5 pictures of Mobius members, the ones that vanished.
"Let's see, not only am I looking for Lily and Leon, but I'm also looking for Baker, Sykes, O'Neal, Harrison, and Hoffman, right", Kyra asked.
"Yes, I can also send information into your room if you need it", Kidman reassured as Kyra looked around to see a glowing mirror.
"Why does mirrors have to be doors, it'd be nice to have an actual door", Kyra asked.
"Don't ask me, it's your consciousness", Kidman stated, "if you need anything else, don't hesitate to call and ask",
"I will, and Kidman... thanks", Kyra said as she hung up; putting the communicator away, she walked out of her father's office, passing a desk she noticed a cat sitting by a projector full of slides, and soon approached the mirror, "well... through the looking glass once again", Kyra held her hand out at the mirror, the mirrors glow grew brighter as everything changed around her.
