[_megaman_x]

After a couple more days rest, X was feeling much more like himself again. He and Alia had talked and decided that today was as good a time as any to contact his older alternate. Especially considering they weren't sure how much longer resources and time would be allocated to trying to save the other Alia

Again, the flickering kicked in across the screen before the channel opened up.

This time, it certainly wasn't X's other self who responded ...

"Demian, I'm going to eat your guts if you call this time of the damned -- what the hell."

A rumpled -- and very curly, and very feral -- Zero blinked sleepily at the screen, pupils constricting to slits as he tried to focus.

"... Alrighty then ..."

Alia had been petting the little bronze perched on her shoulder. After the initial surprise at the sight of the sleepy, curly haired Zero, a restrained amused look crossed her face and she gave the Zero a little wave. "Good morning?"

[_megaman_x]

X couldn't help the slight smile at the sight of such a curly Zero. He idly wondered if his own Zero's hair would look like that if he put it in curlers.

"Is this a bad time? We could call back..."

[wisdominblood]

Another X. And -- Alia.

It took another blink or two before the logical answer came to mind; Zero shook himself, and grinned toothily at the screen.

"If you call three o'clock good, it's a good morning ..."

Tapping the screen lazily with one claw, he lifted a brow questioningly.

"No, it should be fine, I'll go give him a poke if he isn't in the labs already. Any messages I should pass along while I'm at it?"

[_megaman_x]

"See you there." X gave a parting half-wave before shutting down the comm system. He shut down his terminal before standing up and turning to face Alia.

"All set?" He pulled out his PINpoint and selected the coordinates before holding his hand out to Alia.

[hunter_navi]

"Sure." Alia gave the fire lizard another quick pet before taking X's hand. "Let's go then."

[_megaman_x]

X gave her hand a light squeeze. Then he activated his PINpoint and they vanished to the Nexus to meet the older X.
