She layed back and sighed. It had been so long since she'd been home. "I'll try to cook something for you in just a minute, Jakie", she said, looking at her icky hospital gown. She went to her bedroom and rummaged through some clothes she had packed a long time ago. She picked out some PJs, and went to shower.
After dressing, she shuffled in her fuzzy slippers to the kitchen, looking for Jake. "Food, Jakie?"

"I'll cook," Jake responded with a smile. He walked up to the stove. He stared at it for a second, confused. He took a few embarrassed steps backwards.
"I... don't know how to cook," he finally said, defeated.

Eminor burst out in genuine laughter, flopping down on the kitchen stool. "You're so funny, Jakie.", she said, smiling. "I'll make you a sandwich now, when I nap, I'll cook more afterwards, if that's okay with you"

Jake looked over at her, somewhat upset she was laughing at him. "It sounds good to me, Emmy," he said after a few seconds. "I don't really mind what's in my sandwich," he then added with a smile. "Surprise me."

She smiled back. "Okay,", she said with a yawn. "Close your eyes then". She made him a sandwich with a little bit of everything she had in her fridge, and set it on a plate in front of him. Sitting on the stool opposite, she sipped her glass of water, and rested her head on the table, soon falling fast asleep.

Arqus scratched his head, wondering where to begin. He tried pulling on the robe so he could avoid tripping on the hem. He hated Bremmen's taste for clothes.
"I saw Trace..." He began, his beautiful blue eyes staring at Johnny. "Disappear."
He bent his head down, racking his brain for some other words that would probably make more sense.
"He vanished, after the explosion." He added, his long blond hair blown gently by the wind outside. "And there was a guy who tied bombs together and made the skyscraper explode."
Arqus looked at Johnny, curious if his words were making sense or if he believes him at all.
"Trace was fighting with him prior to the explosion, Bremmen and I saw them. Then Trace disappeared out of thin air, and the man had the same powers as Syl's friend. The one with the bone armor. Bremmen tried following him, but we lost him..."

"Bone armor?", Johnny asked.
Johnny paced around as he lit another cigarette. "So, Trace is gone?".

"Yeah." Arqus replied leaning on a wall. "It's like POOF! and he's gone."
His eyes looked down on the floor, contemplating.
"The man with the bone plate armor, reminded me of one of Veronica's friends." He said with a hushed tone.
"Klaire." Bremmen spoke to him. "The girl's name is Klaire."
"Klaire?" Arqus finished, looking at Johnny.

"Klaire?", Johnny asked. "I don't think I remember her. How's she connected to the man that blew up the building?".

Viscum couldn't help but overhear Arqus and Johnny's conversation as he had wandered away from the waiting room and was leaning against a wall waiting for Rosa and Mazrin to arrive. He first believed he had misheard the name when it was mentioned, disbelieving that there was any way he could have come back to Animus, but then it was repeated, and he was sure they were talking of the same person.
"Did you just mention Trace? As in the fallen Angel?" Viscum asked Arqus as he walked up to them, a look of bewilderment in his eyes. "He came back to Animus?"

Johnny gazed over at Viscum and replied, "That's the guy! Hasn't he always been here?".

"How's she connected to the man that blew up the building?"
Arqus waved both his hands infront of Johnny while saying, "No, No, I didn't say she's connected to the explosion. I just figured she might know the guy who blew up the building since they share the same power. Probably they're from the same tribe or group or something."
"Did you just mention Trace? As in the fallen Angel?"
"Yeah. That's Trace." Arqus replied, curious why the new guy knew about him. "You know him?"

"You know him?"
"Yes, I know him." Viscum said with a nod. "As I told you, my Siblings and I have been in Animus previously, although it appears that time has passed since them. Trace was here as well, helping the residents of the time fight a being know as the Black Goat."
Viscum racked his brain for the easiest explanation. He didn't want to go on a long trip down memory lane but he needed to reveal just enough so that Johnny and Arqus would understand his surprise at Trace's reappearance and subsequent disappearance.
"He vanished the last time we were here, or rather he was taken. That is why I am so surprised that he returned here, not many people manage to escape from hell unaided."

Johnny shot Viscum a look of question and asked, "What does that mean? I don't know about Trace, but Bremman, Roth, Anya, and I did a good job of getting rid of the Black Goat awhile back. What's going on?".

"This one's an old soul Arqus." Bremmen advised him inside his head. "I can sense it. Best be careful with what you tell him."
Arqus didn't say anything. He felt the same thing Bremmen observed about Viscum. It's too early to trust him. Heck, they just met.
"Weird how Trace never mentioned you." He uttered, then looked at Johnny. "He did tell you about them Johnny?"
