"Not sure." Kiah answered.

"Could be five minutes, could be an hour, could be a few hours." She told him before smirking.

"So you can't pretend you weren't working." She added

"Yeah, yeah, yeah..." Ilias mumbled.

"Lemme know when you have an idea." he told her.

"I'll put an order in for delivery." he said further.

"What do you want?" he asked.

"Feeling like anything in particular?" he asked further.

"At the moment, no ideas." Kiah answered.

"I'll let you know. Because food sounds lovely, I just don't know what I want for the moment." She added with a light laugh.

"Now go." She ordered as she made sure her phone was in her pocket, and sighed lightly.

"I'm going to head up to Hal, myself."

Ilias just sighed again.

"All right." he said.

"See you later." he told her.

He then left her office, and she watched him go, seeing that he had gone deeper into the lab... but before she could decide to call him on it, she saw him appear again, but changed out of his lab coat, and with his personal tote bag.

She watched him leave the office, saying goodbye to some people as he did, and after he was gone, she saw one of them sigh.

"About time. He needed a break." they commented to a colleague.

Kiah just sighed, heavily, before making her way over to the two who were talking.

"Hey... I caught that." She commented.

"Tell me... what do you mean by he needed a break? I get the feeling he won't tell me himself."

The one that had spoke looked towards her, and sighed.

"Just the late nights he'd been pulling." they said.

"And stressing about you." they went on.

"Eating was at a minimum, too." the other one told her further.

"So it's high time he went home for some actual rest." the first one continued.

"And... welcome back, Dr. Remmington." they added.

Kiah just sighed.

"... something tells me I'm going to have to lock him up at home for a week." she muttered before shaking her head and looking back to the ones she approached.

"Thanks. Good to be back. Long story short, that was hell. Anyway, if you have any concerns, especially if it's something pertaining to while I wasnt here, please don't hesitate to let me know. I'll do whatever is needed to right this place if anything is askew."

The shook their head.

"He should calm down now that you're back." they said.

"I think it was born of concern and a need to distract himself." they reasoned.

"And for the most part, things have gone smoothly." the other told her.

"Only thing we need is... well, your signature so we can go forward with something." they went on, handing her the clipboard in their hands. When she looked at it, she saw it was just a standard thing, but it was protocol for one of her level to sign off on it.

"Thankfully, and luckily, the impact was minimal at worst."

Kiah read over what was handed to her before pausing.

"Got a pen?" She asked. They nodded before passing her one. She signed it before handing the board, and pen, back.

"And yeah, thankfully." she agreed.

"Just... ugh. Anyway, do let me know if something comes up where you do need me. For now, I need to go speak with Sharp." She said before bidding them farewell and heading off, on her way to her boss', and uncles, office.

She got there in a couple of minutes, and when she did get there, his door was open, and his receptionist gestured for her to go in. She did, and Hal just waved at her.

"Welcome back." he said.

"Ilias was just here." he told her.

"Said he's on forced vacation, and to expect you any moment." he went on.

"Good." he then said further.

"I was on the verge of ordering him to take some R&R, given how hard and constantly he'd been working." he told her bluntly.

"So I've heard." Kiah commented with a heavy sigh.

"Regardless. I sent him home. Give me the details, that you know, and I figure out how long I'm locking him in the basement for." She added, a bit of a joking tone to her voice.

"I... am also pretty sure I told him that I would speak to you. I did not know he was going to. Sorry about this being a repeat, I'll clear out once I have whatever info you have, then."

He shook his head.

"No, no." he said.

"All he told me was that you would be by and he would be out for a while." he told her.

"We still have much to discuss, I assure you." he added, leaning forward.

"Firstly, see to it he has 2 straight days off." he stressed.

"Secondly, have a seat." he offered.

"Please. I... really wish to have a heart-to-heart with you." he added with a small smile, relief in his eyes.

Kiah just closed the door, as it was pretty standard, and did as she was told, she took a seat.

"Done deal." She told him.

"I'll make sure he takes the next couple of days off, and I think I know how I'll do it too." She added with a light chuckle.

"Recently found another like him in Greece, a cousin of his, shall we say." She paused a moment.

Hal raised an eyebrow when he heard that.

"Oh?" he asked.

"I admit, that's interesting. Didn't think I'd hear THAT." he admitted.

"If they need help ever, bring them here." he told her.

"Regardless... how are you?" he asked.

"How are you doing?"

"Don't sweat it, I already told them that I'd help them out if need be. Before this whole... everything... went down, I'd been in contact with them for about three months." Kiah told him honestly.

"Apparently they've found a rather nice community though." She added before sighing.

"I'm all right. Relieved I didn't come back to find this place a disaster, or myself dead."

"Good to hear on their well-being." he told her.

"And yes, things were... stressful... while the 'other you' was here." he then said.

"I gained knowledge of the world she comes from... the world YOU visited." he said further. "She wished me to have that knowledge." he clarified.

"Frankly, if you needed some counseling, I wouldn't blame you, or be the least bit surprised." he told her bluntly.

"You must have gone through hell and back." he went on.

"What did L do to you, Kiah?" he asked her concernedly.

When the question was asked, Kiah froze.

"I...." She started, seeming to be almost legitmately terrified for a second before shaking her head violently.

"More than I think I can adequately put into words." She told him with a calm voice, and expression.

"... If you want to know, I can wish it, but only if you want to. It was mostly stuff I witnessed, although he did use me as a tester for a couple of things, and that was not fun, at all." She then paused, thinking about it.

"... however, I would have liked to bring K's research back with me. There was some world changing, amazing things in those journals of hers."

Hal just reached his hands forward, and gently grabbed one of Kiah's, settling one under it, and letting his other rest palm down atop hers.

"You don't have to relive that again." he told her.

"I won't pry. I promise." he said further.

"And I'm afraid I cannot grant that last wish, even if I tried." he then said. "The best I could do is try to have you flawlessly remember what you read." he went on with a sigh.

"Even then, I'm not sure how that would work out." he then admitted.

"And it would depend on if you think that could mess with your head as well."

Kiah paused a moment.

"... tempting." She admitted.

"Oh so tempting. I'm sure I could deal with it, since I'm here, not there, but I'm more worried about the timeline." She continued.

"Some of that stuff... I'm not sure it SHOULD be known."

"I will leave that up to you." Hal said.

"It... well, it is your future knowledge... or was, anyway." he reasoned.

"To some degree, you have a right to it." he went on.

"But this is a decision you need to make on your own, obviously." he muttered.

"Though it seems that K did decide to help Nathan while here..." he then said further.

"Did Ilias inform you of that?" he asked.
