[ She's still bundled up, comforter wrapped around her shoulders and bundled in her lap like the elaborate layer-work of a sherpa, but the chatter of her teeth is under control, and she's gotten some help at least working on controlling whatever it is that's going on with her.

Which, for the record? She really doesn't want to talk about. Or think about. And most definitely doesn't want anyone else to find out about. ]

I've been thinking.

[ Of course she has. There's not much else to do. She sniffs, clearing her throat and shifting on her bed. The mattress squeaks beneath her as she fidgets, scooting back into the headboard. ]

There are other people from my world here. More than one. But none of them were with me when I got grabbed. They're picking and choosing who comes here—so there has to be a pattern, right? Except I can't figure out what it is.

[ Her brow furrows: that's weird. Usually, she's pretty good at exactly this kind of thing. That makes her think she just needs more information to spot it. ]

This can't be a coincidence: there has to be something we've all got in common. I'm thinking maybe, if we learned more about each other, about the different realms we all come from, we might start to get a better idea of exactly what that pattern is.

Maybe that's our way to figuring out who got us into this—and to getting out of it.

[ It's Derek's preferred method of communication, not needing to reveal where in the hotel he might be or who he might be with, not with the Nogitsune on the loose. He's spoken to Skye before, having explained Stiles' kidnapper, for lack of a better word. He even has information. Cashmere - Peeta, his wife - they're from Panem. Raven is from a space station. He, Scott, Lydia, Allison, and Kira are from the same world. The Nogitsune, after having been turned into a fly, has returned to Stiles' form. ]

What can you share?

With you? A lot. According to your friend, everyone who came from your world's got some kind of personal tie together. Everyone from my world was on the wrong end of the same organization: HYDRA. Panem had a bunch of Victors from something called the Hunger Games, sounds like that could be tying them together. If they all ganged up to take us down ... Some of the others, though, their enemies are more personal. It makes me feel like they've got something else our captors want. Intel, maybe. Or access.

Think of a national reality TV show. They were victors in a nationally televised fight to the death. People I know here had fought against the Nogitsune. But, as I said, this was weeks before when we're from. I've never heard of HYDRA. You think they want us all for something.

[ All details she got from Annie, but it's good to have them confirmed. She doesn't know where he got the info, so maybe it's just the same person spreading it around. She'll have to look back on it. ]

I think our enemies might be making friends. Nogitsune made it sound like there's more from your world than just you here. How many?

[ Different person, for the record. There's strength in numbers. Something he's learned only recently, which is why he's honest. ]

There are five of us all together. And Thomas greatly resembles Stiles.

That's a lot. Nogitsune included? Four from mine, that I know of. Two & two who knew each other personally, beforehand, but we've got HYDRA in common. Thomas from your world too?

No. Including The Nogitsune, six. They're both even numbers. No, we don't think so. Is it possible there are look-a-likes from other worlds, taking everybody has a twin out there to extremes.

Creepy extremes. This is the Parent Trap episode nobody ever asked for. We need to figure out how many of us there are in total. It seems like we've only got two floors worth, so maybe 50? 75?

20 rooms on each floor. 50 - 60 if the second and third floors are full up. Taking big groups is risky. Factor in, taking them from separate worlds. We're dealing with technology most of us have never seen. Or, magic.

If the tech's advanced enough, it's hard to tell the difference. HYDRA's big news where I'm from. How public's this Nogitsune stuff in your world? Gotta figure everybody in Panem knows about the Hunger Games ... I'm trying to figure how many different worlds we're dealing with. At least 2 between us, plus Middle Earth, the future in space ...

And the future down on a re-colonized Earth. Nogitsune stuff isn't public. Nothing supernatural is. The average person doesn't see it.

So it could be that more people are from the same world than we realize.

It's possible. Does Hydra operate behind the scenes? Thomas believed an organization calling themselves WICKED was behind this. It could be a case of deities. The one god in Judeo-Christian faith resembling Allah. HYDRA for one could be WICKED for another.

They didn't used to, but nowadays? Everyone's heard of them and SHIELD. Even if they hadn't, you'd know Captain America, Iron Man, and the other Heroes of New York. Is WICKED commonly known in Thomas' world? News? Etc. You think it might be the same org but calling itself different names across multiple worlds?

I don't know. Thomas and his friends are familiar with them. They're also afraid of them. Stranger things have happened.

They sure have. It's a good theory. I'll talk to Thomas. Who else knows WICKED? We can compare notes

As far as I can tell, just Thomas. His last name is Edison if you need to find his number. It's not his real name.

Wow thanks for clarifying I really thought we were dealing with the world's first electrician for a minute. I figured.

His parents could have been history buffs. I majored in History.

I never went to college so maybe that level of nerd is just lost on me.

I'm not a nerd.

Anyone who would consider naming their kid Thomas Edison is tho.

I'll see what I can find out on my end.

You are AWESOME. Let me know what you find. P.S. full moon ??? + Fox thing how's that gonna go?

He mentioned the full moon?
