Des shook her head, remembering she did not really exist in this mind, just an illusion but could do some stuff. 'Time to see what happens when they shoot'... "NO!"

Gary disappeared and appeared behind Des. He pushed her to the ground and aimed at her forehead.

Des leaned up on her elbows. "Go ahead, shoot." She dared Gary.

Gary said nothing, just pulled the trigger, and a bullet whizzed out towards Des' forehead.
But it didn't hit her. Something hit it in mid-air, causing it to fly in a different direction.

Des blinked. It would have gone right through her... but something protected her. She looked around

A hail of bullets came from nowhere, knocking both scientists and Gary over. The scientists were presumably dead, but Gary was violently twitching, as if having a fit.

"Who's there?!" Des called out, sitting up.

No reply. Des' words echoed around her.
Nicola woke up. "What happened?"

"Two scientists and Gary appeared.." Des said, looking about. "Then someone protected us.. but I don't know who or what or where it when."

Nicola blinked. "Gary? Friend of yours?"

Des blinked. "Oh. Not this one.. he attacked us.. Actually, I don't even think it was Gary. Just a tall guy with a black face and yellow eyes."

Nicola blinked. "Let's start from the beginning. Who's Gary? Is he like your boyfriend or something?"

Des blushed hard. "No.. .At least, I dont think so. The time that I come from, he flirts with me sometimes..." Des shrugged as if it were no big deal.

Nicola smiled. "So you mean that he loves you but you don't love him?"

"I dont' know. I guess I like him..." Des' face was red from blushing. She rubbed her hands together, looking down.

Nicola laughed. "It's ok to admit it." She told her. "What isn't ok is when you refuse to let go of the past..." She glanced back at the mutant pillar. "Do yourself a favour... don't end up like me."

Des looked at Nicola. "It's hard... You'd have to understand my life to understand why I hesitate..."

"You're probably right." Nicola told her. "Even so..." She trailed off. "Take care of yourself." She turned and started walking away.

"Woah, where are you going?" Des asked, blinking.

"Don't worry." Nicola told her. "We'll meet again. I'm sure of it."
Gary awoke with a start, having rolled over onto the casing he tripped on. It dug into his elbow painfully. "Ow! Goddammit!"
