Looking around, Fallon noticed that all of the portals were now grey. With the fox still on his head he looked at the girl who had fallen on him and stated, "I think this belongs to you," pointing to his head. He picked it up and handed it to her, turning to Deva next. "Okay, we're all here, so what now? We all have questions, and we definitely want some answers."
Surveying the now assembled group, he wondered what could have caused them all to be selected. He hoped that there was some reason for his being here at least, namely putting his combat skills to good use. With this thought the cat stretched, extending its claws. He hoped that it never had reason to use them on him again....they really hurt! A wave of something akin to an apologetic tone hit him then, and he gathered that it hadn't meant to hurt him. Holy crap! He could feel what the cat was thinking...this was starting to get a bit weird.
