See you soon.

[Cordy hangs up before turning back to their new friends.]

Abernathy basically runs supernatural witness protection. He and his people can set you up to be real people here. Just in case we can't figure out how to send you back.

( "You say we're not the only ones, have you sent the others back?" Cristina asks, Alex listening.

Meredith sags in the back, shoulders slumping as she watches the unfamiliar flatlands pass by. )

[Cordelia presses her lips together before shaking her head.]

Their worlds were gone. So they had nowhere to go back to.

[Which she knows won't be easy to hear, but Cordy doesn't sugar coat. And she doesn't like making promises she isn't sure she can keep.]

( "Do you know if our world's gone?" Meredith asks. )

If she did, she wouldn't be giving us the option of going back.

( "She isn't giving us an option, Alex. It's a maybe. Right? She MAY be able to get us back," Cristina says, boiling it down. )

[letsbe_clear]

It is a maybe. A big maybe. It's definitely not going to be easy. But if your world is still out there, we'll try.

[It takes a lot more power than they have on hand.]

It's just going to take time, so you may have to get comfortable being here for a while.

How different can this world be from ours, really?

( Meredith asks, after hearing the word, "Ghouls" and not blinking. )

[letsbe_clear]

I mean, if you ignore the monsters, probably not much.

[And most people manage to ignore them just fine.]

[screwbeautiful]

There you go, Mer. We can just ignore the monsters.

( "The monsters better not want medical attention," Alex says, testing his jaw.

This group will be just fine. )
