"I'd like that. Please."

Nod. Exchange of messages.

A portal opens outside. It leads to Felix's dimension, but there is a second portal leading to Dusk's right in front of the first.

She looks through, first. It looks just like home, except for the time of day and the extra statues.

"Oh. Oh, good." She goes to step through the portal, but stops herself. "What - happened, specifically, to Felix?"

"Lightning bolt. The weather is sort of responsive."

"- was there warning?"

"It started gathering up as soon Felix walked in the dimension... I could go with you and try shielding you from it? I should be better than Felix."

It should be mentioned that his wings have slowly changed from fire-orange to dark-blue with lightning patterns."

"That sounds like she's in control of it; if she is, and you get into a fight with her, it will be more dangerous, not less. I think I'll be okay."

Nod. "Uh... if you're not, can I ask Felix to restore you?"

"Yeah. And I'm going to stay right by the portal; if it looks like I might get zapped, I'll leave. I really do think I'll be okay, though."

Slow nod. "Good luck."

She steps through. "Dusk? It's me."

Nothing happens. She looks at the sky: it's entirely cloudless.

And then there's the blur of someone approaching at speeds generally associated with speeders, or, contextually, Sith who want to be someplace in a big damn hurry. "Daisy!" She scoops her up. "What happened? How did you get here? How did I get here?"

The droid laughs and hugs her back. "Weird otherworldly magic!"

"Not cool!"

"I know! You're technically still asleep; scared me half to death! But it's fine now, you just need to come back through to the real world and you'll be fine."

"All right." She steps through the portal and disappears; Daisy doesn't quite land on her feet, but hops back up and gives the winged clone a quick hug on her way to the bedroom.

Aaaaw.

He doesn't go into the bedroom, but he observes through the door.

More hugs; signed conversation. Dusk wants to know why she's in a hospital gown; she's surprised that it's been nearly a week. (I'd believe it, though, it feels like I'm a week behind on my saber practice. Ugh.) And then: So, I assume your friend has to do with the magic?

Yes; it's complicated.

Okay. What do I need to know right away?

He's friendly and stuck here and doesn't have a name yet. There's another one, he'll be back in a few days, his name is Felix, he's friendly and stuck too. And might think you killed him.

...okay, that was real, I guess?

Yeah.

All right. I'll be more careful with it in the future. "Hello."

"Hello! How are feeling?"

"Fine, thank you. Daisy tells me you're stuck here, possibly from another world?"

"Yeah kinda? Felix is from a completely different universe and we don't know if there is a way back."

She nods. "Well, I'm not sure I can help, but if anyone can it's probably me. Do you have any leads?"

"We don't research the topic yet. It's... likely very difficult. Felix's hope are only nonzero because it happened once so in theory it can happen again. And we have time."

Nod. "Luckily for you, I do power design. There's a reasonable chance I can come up with something, if the Force can do it at all."

"The Force can do teleport? ...Do you think the Force could interfere with pocket dimension portals?"

"It can't that I know of, but that's not the only approach. The portals do look like something; I should be able to change them with a bit of practice, that's an obvious thing to try."
