Hey! Hi!

[Joel smiles and holds up the Cyber Key shard he has.]

I was just about to ask the Network if anyone knew where you were. Bakura told me you were looking for these. I've been keeping it safe since I found it in that crater.

-ah! Another one!

[he beams]

I would certainly like it back, yes. I can be anywhere I need to be.

[He laughs a little.]

It would probably be easier if I came to you. Just tell me where you'd like to meet and I'll be there in the blink of an eye.

Well, then, would the sidewalk outside [he gives the address of a building] suffice?

[Joel just nods, his costume forming around him. The moment his goggles are on his eyes, he's gone.

Reappearing out on the designated sidewalk, Houston smiles. He's not using the Cyber Key Shard's power right now but he really does want to.]

[handy, that!

Vector doesn't spacebridge - seeing as he's just in that building. it's a waste of power, when he can simply go to the window and drop like a stone - then slow and halt perfectly upon the sidewalk.

the passerbys only stare for a moment, then mutter to themselves about how they should be used to this sort of thing, really...]

Ah - you are quick.

[Houston jumps in surprise at the sudden dropping, letting out a relieved sigh when a perfect landing happens instead of a splattered Vector.]

The Porter gave me a good power. Personal Time Manipulation. [He smiles and holds up the Cyber Key shard.]

Found this in Africa while I was on a run.

[~~he can be a showoff if he wants to be~~]

So that was what I sensed! It will be good to associate such a power with you, then.

You have my gratitude, my friend. I only wish I could give you more, but if there is something, speak of it.

Oh yeah. Bakura mentioned you'd be able to sense my powers. Sorry if I've been a headache or something with all my zipping around.

Well. I'd actually like to help recover the remaining pieces if there are anymore. I mean I've got this power of mine so I could be good for getting them away from people that are misusing them.

Not at all.

[he touches the metal, feeling the familiar warmth as he considers the words. then he nods.]

You have shown yourself by returning this to me as-is; I would be glad to accept further assistance from you.

[Joel smiles.]

As fun as it was running that fast, it's probably best you get all these back. They are yours after all.

[His grin gets a bit wider.]

Great! So, do you know where the other shards are? Should we expect a fight?

I'll know soon enough. I'm able to pinpoint their direction and distance. As for a fight...that depends entirely on whether or not anyone else has found them, and whether or not they're as willing to return them as you are.

[Joel nods, expression turning more serious.]

Well, I'm not Batman or Superman but I can fight if I have to.
