Leo? Rick? ... Boys? [is confused and frightened as to what's going on, but is glad to be out of the house and away from those soldiers- Maybe her sons were lucky enough to be sent away from there too.]

Wh...

What...

You...

[motherofishbal]

[she can't really see where the voice is coming from but it's very familiar almost like-]

-L-Leo? Is that you? What happened to your voice baby?... do you have a cold?

[un_locket]

...no, I...

M-Mom? Is that...

[motherofishbal]

[is concerned mother] Leo? Baby, what's wrong? ... [eyes widen fractionally] Leo, where's Rick?! Is he with you?

[un_locket]

He's here too. D-don't... don't worry...

[motherofishbal]

[looks relieved her eyes a little misty hand resting over her heart] You're both safe...

[un_locket]

Are you... really here?

[motherofishbal]

Leo, sweetie, of course I'm here. Mommy's right here. I was so worried when I couldn't find you... You must have been scared too.

[her eyes seem to have gotten worse from the flash of the explosion from just as she was pulled from her reality so she still hasn't noticed Leo isn't as she remembers him]

[un_locket]

I-I was, but... That was a long time ago. I don't... I don't know if you can tell, but I'm fourteen, Mom.

[motherofishbal]

Four...teen...? But that's- it isn't possible.

[un_locket]

And Rick's ten.

Mom... what's the... what's... *Scared to ask D:* What's the last thing that happened before you came here?

[motherofishbal]

T-ten...? [looks shocked]

I-

... There were soldiers; they'd broken into the house and then... [pauses just a moment to collect herself] I ran into your room looking for you... but you didn't answer. I remember praying that I'd find you two, and that you'd be alright... then there was this bright light and I was here.

[un_locket]

...oh...

... I know lying is wrong, but...

You disappeared. That was ages ago.

[motherofishbal]

I-? ... Ages...?

[looks a little devastated] I missed you growing up... I don't even remember...

[un_locket]

I guess this is where you came, huh? See... time works kind of funny here. There's people from the past and from the future here. I guess that's what happened.

It isn't your fault, Mom.

his mom was very devout, so this view of things makes sense a little- yes?

[motherofishbal]

[still looks a little sad- but then smiles a little]

I- I should be thankful then, that our god heard me and let me find you safe.
