It's been nearly a month since Tyler Marlocke took up residence in the Panda Lair--a month of increasing frustration both for the junior hero and his hosts. That frustration is being expressed in a number of ways. For Tyler, it's expressed through long, rambling journal entries, increasingly violent training sessions with the Squirrel, and an obsession with recreating his Moon Shadow gear down to the tiniest detail--'just in case.'
For Kit Baxter, the frustration manifests itself in a somewhat different manner.
"Kit," sighs her employer, "glaring at the report from Dr. Chronopolis is not going to make him find a solution any faster."
"Well, it should," Kit grumps. She stands up and paces to the far end of the study and back again. "This is drivin' me crazy, Boss! Dr. C's thrown everything he's got at that coaster, and he's still comin' up goose eggs! I thought he was supposed ta be the smartest guy in Toronto, how can he have nothing?? An' meanwhile poor Tyler's sittin' in the Lair for weeks on end... we might as well have left 'im in police lock-up for all the good we're doin' him."
"He has been making progress on his costume," the Panda comments. "But you're right. I really have to wonder how much longer his patience is going to last." Not to mention yours, he thinks, but doesn't say out loud. "A boy who can turn invisible isn't the easiest person to keep track of."
"You're tellin' me." Kit grabs the notebook full of Tyler's latest journal entries off of the desk and starts thumbing through it--more out of a desire to do something with her hands than anything else. "I swear, if we hadn't fixed a lock on the door up to the mansion I..." She trails off, staring at the page.
The Panda gives her a wary look. "Kit...?"
Kit shoves the open book into his hands and points mutely at one particular entry.
I wish I could use the coaster to get home, but I remember what Ray told me about it and using it in dimensions other than my home world. It'd be like running into a brick wall. The walls of each dimension would just bounce me back inside since I'm a...a forieg froreign FOREIGN body. The only way for me to get back home is for someone from this world to open the door there using the coaster...
For a long moment, the two incognito superheroes just stare at each other.
Then, as one, they turn and head for the first-floor spare bedroom at a pace just shy of a run.

And you're scaring the kid who faces cultists with flaming hands, tentacled things in his locker and bullies who have superpowers on a regular basis!
The young-boy's face now reads entirely of 'I'LL BE GOOD.'
