Simon rocked back and forth on the floor of Omicron's dive room.

"They're coming back… They'll be back for me… Yeah, yeah, Catherine and… Me… They're-We're-They're gonna save me…" He mumbled to himself.

The proxy slammed against the door again and screeched.

"SHUT UP!" he screamed at the door.

The proxy screeched back. Simon knocked his head back against the wall and groaned in frustration as he realized what he was doing.

"I'm going insane." he chuckled.

"You were always insane you big doof." came a feminine voice.

"Catherine?" he asked, searching for her voice.

He swept the room with his eyes. Looking to his left, to his right, back to his left. And suddenly Catherine was there, right in front of him. She was standing at full height in a regular black hoodie and jeans. Exactly how he'd imagined her. Almost too exactly.

"I'm right here." she said crouching down to his level.

Simon looked into her eyes and saw the deep blue that he always saw on the monitors.

"It really is you…" He said, slowly coming to a crouch himself, "Oh thank God!" he said, reaching around her and pulling her into a hug.

But suddenly he fell forwards, his arms wrapping around themselves as he found that there was nothing there to hug. He caught himself quickly and pushed himself up before he could fall face first into the steel floors.

"Cath? Cath?! Catherine where'd you go?" he said, realizing all too late he was hallucinating.

"Oh God I really am going insane!" he said to himself.

He looked around the room and found it just how he'd left it, everything the same. But when he looked at the omnitool's port there was one thing that had changed. He looked at the omnitool and looked away.

"I know you're not real." he said before looking back and seeing the tool gone.

He sighed and walked over to the heavy steel door the proxy was struggling with.

"Seems you're the only one here to keep me company." he said, the labored breathing of the proxy able to be faintly made out on the other side of the door.

"Jesus, I need help."

He felt the door vibrate as the proxy beat against it a few more times.

"Why can't you just bust in here and kill me already? I mean no one's coming for me. Everyone's dead. Everyone. Even me, I'm not really alive y'know?" he said, not expecting an answer but simply rambling on to himself.

"You see I died a while ago, 108 years ago to be exact. It's a funny story really, you se-" he was cut short by a new banging sound.

Simon froze, so did the proxy before screeching at the new noise. Simon rose from where he sat and heard a door opening and then closing again. Simon rushed to the dive room's external door and looked through the small window on the door.

He looked through and saw the white power suit armor. The white power suit armor with it's floodlight on and omnitool in hand. He watched him swipe the tool and wait patiently or the water to flush itself from the room and decompress. As the figure turned and looked at the glass they both looked at each other for the first time. The power suited figure froze in the middle of placing his omnitool on his belt. Simon's eyes wandered to the tool and widened as far as the monitors would widen as he saw the structure gel infused cortex chip that had been Catherine's.

The other Simon had come back after all. As the door opened in front of him Simon stepped back for it to open as the power suit walked through with hands his hands in the air.

"Now let me explain."

Now I know this chapter was short yada-yada-ya, but you see next chapter will be a long ass explanation of how Simon got there so look forward to that, this chapter was mostly fluff and filler.
