The young warriors climbed out of the sewers and back onto campus, Diana ran off to meet up with her other friends. Rebecca started heading to the cafeteria with Damian, Natasha, and Ruby but was called back by Sam. He reminded her that they needed to collect their phones that he stashed away when their sound was too overwhelming for her. She had completely forgotten about that. They went to get them with the intent of meeting the others in the cafeteria.

Ruby spoke as the couple sat down with their friends. “So what do you think of those old warriors? I think it’s a bit too convenient and we shouldn’t fully trust them just yet they could be sent by XANA, but these guys," she made a vague gesture towards their friends, "seem to be all for it. What do you guys think?” she took a fork full of food as she finished asking.

“This does seem to be too good to be true, but he was on the intro video for the supercomputer, so that has to count for something and this is way more advanced than anything XANA can do. They seem nice enough, I mean that woman gave me her credit card, and basically told me to do what I want, having money will be useful,” Sam responded, “I believe that Rebbeca also has some concerns about them.”

“So you were talking about this on your way here,” Natasha incorrectly assumed.

“No, but she’s been tapping her thumb against her fingers ever since we met them, she doesn't usually do that for this long unless something is bothering her,” he responded and everyone looked at her fingers to see that and, much to her embarrassment, she was, in fact, doing that and forced herself to stop.

“You know that no one at this table cares, we all know that it’s just something that you do sometimes. There’s nothing wrong with that,” Sam reassured.

“You're not doing anything bad, it’s just something you do, everyone’s got something,” Damian added his words of comfort. He left out that for most people it isn't to the same degree. This earned positive non-verbal confirmations from Ruby and Natasha.

Now that she felt more at ease she was willing to attempt to share her thoughts. “I don’t know how to put it, it’s just that their not one of us,” she mumbled.

“I know you like feeling special but this is a good thing,” Sam started, as he put his hand on top of hers, “I now have money to build cool stuff, and that blond man in the chair, I forgot his name,” Sam’s memory is amazing but the one thing that he can't seem to remember was names. Unless he sees it written out while looking at the person it will talk some time learn them. He remembered that the pinkete was named Aelita Belpois but that was the only name he fully retained.

“-Jeremie,” Rebbeca interjected, she on the other hand never forgets a name.

“-ok, Jeremie seems to be really good with coding, he was able to bring someone from Lyoko to the real world, so he can probably help us bring back Gigi,” everyone agreed, leaving her the odd man, or woman, out.

Sam finished eating quickly eager to go back to his shared room to start shopping.
