Bobby had seen a lot over the course of the last few days. He had once again seen how people bonded together over a common cause. It made him happy to see that they had triumphed...that they were all free.

Still, it also made him sad. If he went back to his dimension...it would be back to Solara. He still wasn't sure what that meant for him, Uncle Press's words were not very clear on that or perhaps it was Bobby's inability to understand.

Part of him wanted to go to the "real" Manhattan. He wondered how Uncle Press would feel.

Bobby was lost in thought so he almost didn't notice J standing around. Bobby paused and reached into his pocket. He had several small jump drives there, each with a copy of his journal that he had been writing since he had gotten here. He wasn't planning on giving it to many people, but he figured J and maybe Sora would appreciate it. He wished he could get one to Daniel. Bobby had finished it that morning and had typed furiously to do so. He was glad he was used to writing journals fast.

"Hey, I was hoping to run into you," he said.

Well that was a tune he was glad to hear. "Hey," the grin got a bit more genuine as Bobby approached. "Took the words right outta my mouth." J hadn't known Bobby for long, but it was more than long enough to get a good measure of the teen; he had heart and courage in spades, and J knew he'd miss the guy.

Of course, none of that came out. Instead he fell back on the question he'd been asking everyone. "You holdin' up alright?"

"I think so," Bobby said. "I know I'll miss everyone...but it's hard not to be happy after all we accomplished the last few days. How about you?" Maybe it had something to do with being a Traveler. Bobby was just used to goodbyes. It was hard for him to accept he would never see these people again. Surely somewhere out there in Halla there was a way.

He still hadn't made up his mind if he wanted to risk rejoining with Solara to find out.

"I have something for you. I figure if you ever start thinking all this was just some crazy dream." Bobby pulled out one of the jumpdrives and handed it to J, "It's the journal I've kept, not the one on the network...this was a bit more personal." He smiled slightly, "Hopefully the jumpdrive will work in your world, wherever you're going." Bobby hadn't really thought about it NOT being able to work somewhere. Hopefully it would.

"'Bout the same," came the simple reply. Sure, having to say goodbye to so many people was just killing him, but they'd won and everyone was going home and all that had to count for something. Plus, he refused to see anyone off with tears. Mixed emotions, sure, but he was riding them alright.

"Bobby, I've seen so much crazier..." He grinned and shook his head, trailing off as Bobby offered him the thumb drive. He took it, looking down at it while he listened to the explanation and struggled with words not for the first time that day. "Twenty-first century Los Angeles," he finally replied with a wry smile. "Think I can manage." He slipped the drive into his pocket and laid his hand over it - that was one thing he wouldn't want to lose. "Thank you."

There was something on his mind, a question he hadn't been able to manage until now, and J finally spat it out. "Hey, you travel, right? Different worlds, dimensions, all that?" He paused - he was pretty sure Bobby had told him that, yeah - then continued. "If you ever run into Daniel, d'you think you could pass somethin' on to him for me?"

Bobby just grinned and shrugged, "Well, you never know man. Every dimension I've been to before this had varying degrees of tech." He knew the drive wasn't much, but at least it was something that J could remember him by.

He wasn't sure what to say to J at first. He had traveled, but he wasn't sure how Solara really worked. Bobby found himself nodding, regardless. After all, hadn't Press said something along the lines of being able to see whoever you wanted, when you wanted. Maybe that would apply to more than just the worlds he had visited in the flumes. Maybe he could somehow visit other places as well. "Yeah...I can do that. What do you want me to tell him?"

"Yeah, I'll give you that." It was an admittance and a bit of a grin - it made sense that not every dimension out there would be high tech. After all, Rookie'd said something about a cowboy a while back.

"Tell 'im..." And suddenly J was just the slightest bit nervous, because this was the Fight Club rule and it was all supposed to be so far on the down-low that people walked right over it - they were secret agents for a reason, after all.

But it was Bobby and, by extension, Daniel. He trusted them. That was enough.

"Tell 'im if he's ever in Los Angeles t' look me up." He pulled the black wallet, worn smooth and slightly battered from years of use, out of his back pocket, flipping it open to show off his badge and identification. The small, familiar motion felt good after so long. "Agent J of the Elite Beat Agents," he said with just a bit of pride. "Dedicated to helpin' the world through the power of music." Even as he said it, J knew it was corny. He didn't care - it was the truth, and he knew Daniel (and probably Bobby) would get a laugh out of it.

He flipped the wallet closed, sliding it back into his pocket with practiced ease. "The same goes for you too, y'know."

Bobby blinked at the badge before him. Of all the things he had figured J to be, a secret agent wasn't one of them. Sure, he wore a nice suit and shades, but a lot of people dressed like that, right?

He couldn't stop himself from laughing. He hoped J didn't take it as rude. It was just odd to be told by someone like J that they were a secret music agent. Who knew, right?

"I'll keep that in mind, J," Bobby said, still with a wide grin in place. He was quiet for a moment before adding, "Thanks."

The laughter really wasn't surprising, and J simply grinned as Bobby laughed. Yeah, that hadn't been the classiest introduction ever, but since when did he actually tell people what he did for a living? "Yeah, I don't really look the part, huh," he admitted when Bobby had quieted down, that grin still on his face.

"An' I'll do some readin' when I get home." Each doing something for the other. Fair enough.

The gratitude, strangely enough, took him by surprise. "For what?" he questioned. "From what I remember, you were the one pullin' my rear outta the fire this whole time. I should be thankin' you."
