[One day in Unova, the sky opened up.

And dropped out a muppet of a man in tattered conductor's clothing. He hits the ground amid a crowd and instantly a lot is going on. Some people rushing to help him up, to check for injuries. Some calling the police. Some recording the rip in the sky.

And others recording the man, tweeting out that amazing thing that had just occurred.

holy shit a guy fell out the sky

ITS RAINING MEN?! HALLELUJAH???

I can't believe my theory that Ingo was buried in a landfill has been proven wrong like this #FindIngo #FoundIngo???

Somewhere, Emmet's phone is screaming with notifications and calls]

[ Emmet grabs onto him tightly and lets out a choked sob as he buries his head against his shoulder. ]

[noterminalcalledend]

[rubbing Emmet's back, holding him close. It's so nice to just. Be close. It's been so long.]

I am so sorry, Emmet. I did not want to be gone from your side. I never wished for that.

I'm back. I'm here. I'm okay.

[likewinning]

You're back you're back you're back.

[ It's rushed, his breathing erratic, like he doesn't even know what to do. ]

[noterminalcalledend]

I'm back.

[gonna rock his man in my arms with all the love in his heart]

So you can rest now. We're going to take some time. Together. You have so much to tell me, I'm sure. And I'm sure you have questions for me.

We will take time away from everyone and everything.

[likewinning]

Where have you been.

[ It's less an angry accusation and more a broken outburst. ]

[noterminalcalledend]

It.

It will sound so insane, Emmet. I am afraid when I tell people they will doubt me.

[likewinning]

You would never lie to me. If— if you have been gone for so long, there must be a good reason for it.

[takes out a pokeball

The past.

[ omg the weird sneasel is so cute. ]

[noterminalcalledend]

[the weird sneasel is crawling up onto the wheelchair between the two twins, right up by their faces, looking between them both in So Much Confusion. Baby Meets Dad's Twin youtube video goes here]

I. I was in the past? There were no televisions or internet or...or anything, really. It was always very quiet and very dark. I hit my head perhaps, because for a long time I had difficulty remembering anything.

I took care of pokemon there like this one.

I hope this little one can help me prove the truth of my story.

[likewinning]

[ It should sound unbelievable. But Emmet's never seen a sneasel like this before, and he's seen so many different strange pokemon on the subway. And there's no way Ingo wouldn't have tried to contact him unless he just hadn't been able to.

He has so, so many questions, but all of them can wait for later. ]

I believe you.

[noterminalcalledend]

Thank you.

[s-so relieved

going slack in the chair, tension starting to drain out of him. lil' sneasel patting his face before turning to look at Emmet at patting at him too]

[likewinning]

Are— are you okay?! They said . . . people were saying you fell out of the sky, that . . .

[ His voice trails off, just. dumbfounded. ]

[noterminalcalledend]

[the woman who tbh has just been letting yall HAVE A MOMENT is just standing behind Emmet and

"Pretty sure he shattered some bones???"]

I might have broken some bones.

[ loosens his grip. ]

[noterminalcalledend]

[the woman is going to just. start checking over ingo. which does involve him saying ow as she starts prodding him. she chats him up--where's the pain? His leg and ankle, a shoulder, his ribs. but she turns to Emmet, who obviously is in need of reassurance more than Ingo--"He doesn't appear to have any serious injuries. He's very lucky."]

The gawking bystanders broken much of my fall.

[likewinning]

Good. They deserved it.

[ He doesn't barnacle back onto Ingo, but he does reach over to take his brother's hand. ]

[noterminalcalledend]

[holds his hand tightly]

Will the hospital.

Protect us from onlookers.

["I'd fucking hope so."]

[likewinning]

They should. They had better.

[noterminalcalledend]

I am not very use to crowds any longer, I will need to readjust.

[likewinning]

You— you can rest for now. Rest and recover. Do you even know how long you have been missing?

[noterminalcalledend]

[...hands to face he is not sure]

[likewinning]

. . .

It's been three and a half years.

[noterminalcalledend]

Oh.

[likewinning]

It's . . . it's been so long. And . . .

[ His voice trails off, like he doesn't want to finish that thought. ]

I'm just. Verrrry glad you are back.
