Ben is just sitting to eat his oatmeal (yes a healthy breakfast for once) and read his newspaper when he is interrupted in a most dramatic fashion.

Ben sighs and looks away. "Okay," Ben says defeated. "Reed was right, the Nulifier worked and you and Franklin put everything back ta rights. But when the dust settled, you...you weren't there anymore. Reed's tried looking fer yer reality. We thought maybe you'd gone back home. But he hasn't found any sign of yer reality yet an' it's been almost ten years now."

The horror of Ben's words settle on Val and, shaking her head, she Dances and is gone.

"VAL!" Ben calls after her but it's too late. Ben hurriedly gets up and searches the bar.

Finding no sign of Val, he expands his search to the outside and there he spends the next few hours, desperate but committed.

Finally he makes his way back into the bar and decides to wait. He doesn't care how long it takes, Val will find him waiting for her.
