Glitch was sitting in his lab, reading over a large book when about a dozen bells and alarms began going off. He jerked around at the small orchestra and had to think about why so many little noises would be going off at once, not to mention who had turned on all the alarms. His eyes moved up to the window and he noticed the clouds outside beginning to shift and darken and his head snapped up.
'Travel storm!'
He shot up from the chair and ran for the door, sliding on the floor as he turned the first corner and nearly tumbling down the stairs. He made it outside the eastern entrance of the palace just as the funnel cloud touched down in the field surrounding the back side of Central City.
He hurried out to the field and watched as the funnel zig-zagged through the tall grass but stayed fairly stationary. There was an odd sound and a flash of light, which made him flinch and throw a hand up to shield his eyes as the light flashed again.
Glitch was relieved that he didn't have to send Hank and Emily through to the Other Side, simply because he knew that if they went, no one else could follow. Well, he or Raw could follow, but he didn’t want to deal with an angry Wyatt Cain if either of them showed up.
Besides, Cain had said that Glitch and Raw would not blend in - as if they blended in the Zone - and would most likely be captured upon arrival. And Glitch didn't like the sound of that. Neither did Raw. Hank, Emily and Ahamo had also told Glitch he shouldn't go, and while Glitch didn't remember why, exactly, he understood their warning.
But the travel storm was here and that meant that Cain had found DG and was bringing her home. And that was good. Unless DG was coming home on her own and didn't know Cain was on the Other Side and that would mean that Cain was stuck and someone would have to go back for him and-
Another flash of light, coupled with a crackling sound, snapped Glitch out of his glitch and he remembered why he was out in the field watching the storm dance around in front of him.
Cain was bringing DG home.
Why had they waited seven cycles before going to find her again? Glitch remembered that Raw was upset that morning, but he didn't know why. And then Azkadellia came into the dining room with a frown because she couldn’t find DG. And then Ahamo had arrived and passed a piece of paper to the Queen.
Glitch did remember than she went pale, and Raw made a sound that concerned him, but he didn't know why. And then the Queen told them all that DG had left. Glitch didn't realize that she had left for the Other Side until much later, because he assumed she'd gone to see Cain. None of them had seen Cain for nearly a cycle and, as fun as Central City was, it was much more fun when the four of them were together.
He didn't know why, of course; just that it was.
But, very soon - he hoped - Cain and DG would appear in the cloud and everyone would be happy. And DG would tell him about everything she'd seen on the Other Side. Glitch loved to hear stories about the Other Side, especially the ones about the inventions DG had seen.
Glitch forgot he was watching the cloud and turned back around to look at the palace, where he saw Raw standing. He didn't know why Raw looked the way he did, but Glitch didn't think it was a very good look for the Viewer. In fact, he didn't look happy at all.
There was another cracking noise followed by a thump. Glitch turned to see what had made the noise, jumping when he saw the large black funnel cloud skipping around the field. A moment later, his synapses fired and he remembered: Cain and DG were coming home.
There was another flash of light and Glitch stared at the ground. His head cocked to one side and he wondered why he was standing in front of a funnel cloud, out in the middle of a field, when there was a perfectly safe palace behind him.
Then he saw the trunk.
He didn’t remember seeing there before, but Glitch stepped toward it and leaned over. He was aware of the cloud still spinning mere yards from him, but he didn’t remember to be intimidated. His head titled to one side as he considered the box and then glanced up to the cloud, watching as the thing moved away slowly.
He knew that wasn’t a good sign, but he didn’t know why.
