"So you say you know who I am?" asked Cruise as J drank from the can of Morph-X that the scientists had put into cans for him. Like soda pop. Or beer.

"Yes. You are bike."

Cruise could feel a headache coming on. "Well... yes, I am a bike. But why are you here exactly? You're not a Beast Bot..."

"No. I am Beet J Stag. And I. Am An Egotist."

"He's a Buddyroid," said Nate from the door as the young scientist walked in the door as J drank the Morph-X. "He just... showed up. saying how he was going to get me to reconstruct an Avatar for him."

"That is Jin. And it is to reclaim his data as well." said J.

Nate sighed. "Well, he's recompiling. Are you SURE your friend can't just... magically appear from where you came from? To help me?"

"He is busy taking care of Makoto." replied J.

"Who's Makoto?" asked Cruise.

J drank. Deeply. "My daughter. She's in College now."

Cruise dropped the can of Morph-X he was holding. "... I didn't know Beast Bots could reproduce..."

"I uh... I'm sure I didn't program that in...?" said Nate weakly.

"Recovering someone's data is not a surprise? We managed to prevent his complete breakdown back during the original Duck. Makoto would like to ensure he survives to her College Graduation."

"You bringin' someone back from the freakin' DEAD ain't a surprise! That's the kind of thing that gives lesser people heart attacks!"

[juicy_egotist]

"I do not see the problem. Jin has been technically alive for the last five years at the EMC."

[sumofallreds]

"They would WANT to help you! How the hell would you feel if they decided to bring him back by themselves and keep you out of the loop? You're all supposed to be crew, aincha?!"

[juicy_egotist]

"They would have a reason for it...?"

For once, J sounds uncertain.

[sumofallreds]

Probably to keep you from screwing it up...

"That ain't an answer. How. Would. You. Feel."

[juicy_egotist]

"... not well."

[sumofallreds]

"Then they'd feel the same. Some things you can do on your own. Some things can be a surprise. But I've seen time and time again...there just has to be some things...you do together."

Scorpion-Boy...Air-headed Ninja... Yamato...Little Girl...Trusting Cop...Luka...everyone...

[juicy_egotist]

"Very well. I'll inform them."

After he finishes his Morph-X.

[sumofallreds]

"You'd better. Besides...looks like you've got one freaking guy doing all the work anyway. OI! Hang in there Doc! I've got you some help!"

[juicy_egotist]

"He is a genius on the same level as Jin."
