"Hey. This is Atton. If you're getting this, I'm either not around or I can't tell you where I am, so leave a message and I'll figure out if I want to get back to you."

Beep.

"Fuck. Ok. First: If you don't know who you are, your name is Atton Rand but the rest of this won't make any fucking sense to you. If you do know who you are.. Sparkle doesn't know who he is. He's fine, he just doesn't remember a damned thing. I'll keep him out of trouble but if you're somewhere you can call him, you might wanna. You know him better than anyone."

A pause.

"I don't know if it's like the stupid shrinking thing or if it's just him yet. If it's the whole island.. You might wanna skip your shift tomorrow. As much as I'd miss your handsome goddamn face, I'd rather see it when I know you're inside, you know?"

Another pause. "Try not to get fucking shot or anything."

She was bad at this. Jack hung up without bothering to leave her name. If he didn't know who it was.. it wouldn't matter anyway and if he did there was redial.

Why was the trip back from his universe always so boring? Atton was almost pathetically grateful when the Hawk's systems informed him there was a comm message waiting.

He listened to the whole thing, then pulled a face. "Right, call Jack back," he said, punching a few buttons. "Hey, Jack? Yeah, this is one of those things that just happens some weekends. No reason to get all dramatic, it'll blow over by Monday."

Beat.

"Maybe block the door to the apartment if he's still in there, just in case he's decided he's a serial killer now or something. I'll be back by tomorrow."

Click.

Jack caught the message and squinted at the phone. Did he just accuse her of drama?

Her reply was a text.

"If you land and forget who you are, I swear to fuck I will convince you that you're an accountant named Paul. I will get you to wear a suit and tie and I will take pictures."

His reply was voicemail, because he was flying through a solar system, Jack. "Word to the wise, on this island, you don't start threatening to make a guy settle down before you've dealt with your future offspring once or twice." Beat. "Also, I have access to the island's biggest alcohol supply tomorrow, so do you really want to be on my bad side?"

Her turn to leave a voicemail.

"If you ever settle down boring I will put a mercy bullet in you. You missed last week. You show up blank and make me be on good behavior and not flirt with your handsome goddamn face for a second week in a row and I'm going to be in a really bad mood, Atton."

A pause.

"Fly safe. Get home soon. It was boring last week."
