"At least," I confirm. It's clear that I had been concerned about doubles. Multiples definitely doesn't settle my nerves.
"But you have something? A 'Z-Drive'? You can get us back then. I haven't done any of this type of multiverse travel before. I don't know how to get back."

' You're not from here either? '
He let out a loud groan, damn it. At least he wasn't the only one though.
' Great, so there's at least three of us running around? '

"Yes, but..."
There's no point in hiding the truth. This multiversal convergence throws a lot of rules out the window.
"There's something you should know. This alternate reality you're in...I'm not from it either."

He gave one quick nod, feeling the weird resonance between the two of them. That practically confirmed what he was thinking.
' And you're me. '
But from a better world. . . he thought, why did he draw the short straw with his timeline?

I'm not battle torn at all. The only marks on my skin are from experiments gone awry. And even then, they're nothing compared to the aged wounds on the face I'm staring at now.
"You're Ekko?"
I know it's a dumb question. If the face isn't enough evidence, there's a strange resonance between us.

' You think I know? I was messing with my Z-Drive and it blew up on me. '
He huffed, rubbing his head over his mask.
' Now I'm here. '
How could this be him. . ? He looks so normal, less battle torn.

I've met my other version. The one that belongs to this universe. At least I thought I did.
Does this mean that there's another other version of me?
"You're...you're..." I try to form a complete sentence. "How?"

He gave him one last glance up and down, before letting out a word in a low growl.
' Liar. '
He pulled off his mask to reveal a scarred face, glaring at him.
' You can't be me. '

The masked figure in front of me sounds familiar but their voice is muffled by the armor. This must be one of the Firelights of this universe?
"I'm Ekko." I say, pretending to be my otherworldly counterpart: The Boy Savior.

Maybe I’m not so different in this world.
Would I do the same thing if the roles were reversed? I’d like to think so.
I chew the inside of my cheek and then take his hand.
“You still go by Ekko?”

' I know. '
He smiled. Powder needed him, so he was more than happy to help.
' Then let's figure it out, dude. Two of the brightest brains in Zaun? We got this. '
He nodded, extending a hand for a handshake.

My hand closes around the hexgem in my pocket. The reality of the matter is that I’m out of my depth.
Transdimensional travel had never been on my radar and is far out of my area of expertise.
“I just want to go home, too.”

' It was rough. '
He rubbed the back of his head once more, thinking back to the hell they'd endured.
' But I made it back, helped save the world and saved her. . . That's all that matters.
Let me help you too. '
He tilted his head to one side, smiling softly.

I wish his answer wasn’t as good. It’d have been easier if he said something infuriating.
The anger in my chest deflates and I release it with my breath.
“I met your…Jinx. She told me a bit of what you had to go through here. It sounded pretty bad. Not gonna lie to you.”

' Because. . . '
He thought. It was true, why did he come back? He wracked his brain for a moment.
' Seeing your world made me realise mine needs my help to make it better more than ever.
Plus the Powder of my world, Jinx, she needed saving. . . I saw how she could be when people cared. '

I start pacing. I don’t know what else to do. I’m hoping that some of the angry heat will dissipate with each step.
I try to tell myself it’s not his fault. That there’s no logic in being angry at him.
I won’t lie. It’s hard as hell.
“Then answer this: If my world was so great, why come back?”

' No! I mean- '
He rubbed his head, this was a bad idea. He shouldn't have approached the other.
' Not on purpose. I was just myself. I was working tirelessly to get myself home, to give you your body back.
And. . . you have the life I lost. An amazing world that I can never get back. '
