"All right," Noah said, getting to his feet and holding his hand out to help her up. He smiled as the skies cleared and nodded at Alice. "We'll go and see Angela right away. You have a very good control over your ability, you know. It's impressive, for someone as young as you are." It was a simple compliment, not something to think about too much. Noah had been fond of Alice the first time around, and this teenager didn't seem so different from the younger girl before.
"Before you see Angela," he said gently, as they walked in the direction of Angela's apartment, "there's something you need to understand." He held out his PDA to show her the date. "It's currently October 5, 2009. People get brought to this place, none of us are sure how, and we've not figured out how to leave. It isn't a bad place, really, but nobody likes being kept somewhere...especially a place that isn't Earth. And people get brought from different times and places. You're from 1964, at my best guess, but Angela is from 2007. She's quite a bit older than you remember her, but she's still your sister, and she's missed you. She spent a long time thinking you were dead."
He sighed. "I know this sounds completely crazy," he said, "but I promise you, I'm not lying. If you look at the sky at night, there are two moons, and we have a clairvoyant here who will attest to the fact that we aren't on Earth."
