## Plot

**Prologue**

Pox Curare grew up in another time and universe before the one we know, created by someone who called themselves a god, one of the few that could speak to The World Tree. When his world was destroyed he, in his mind, gave himself over to the World Tree and its power and dove into The Pit beneath it. However, he pierced through chaos and ended up at the table of Night and Day who told him that his world was an abomination and that’s why it had to be destroyed. As he sought balance they gave him a new life in the new universe and on August 7, 1980 he emerged from a Harmonia fragment kept by the British SIS who arrested him until a woman called Cecil, who he would come to know as a member of the Ministry of Displacement, brought him into their care. He became an agent for them, searching for objects and people that are displaced from their world.

**August 8, 11:30pm**

The group return to Mallory’s to comfort Tibby who locks himself away in the bathroom, while Billy and Laura bond about the possibility of him being a clone, what it means and his discovery that there are two Egos of Mickey in her body. They hear buzzing from the bathroom and they discover that Tibby has shaved his head bald. Upstairs Em finds Mallory in his father’s office, for the first time ever, still going over the whole kissing her dad and his loss at the election. She mentions that maybe he wouldn’t have lost if he had picked her for campaign manager, when they hear over the radio the announcement for the new mayor and that people were turned to Flesh. Mallory asks about why she came to find him and Em mentions that after Laura and Tibby’s statements about her parents being changed and he knowing her mom wanted to get his perspective. Mallory thanks her for saving him and she tells him that he’s a part of the team. He asks her to help him look around his office and he opens up about his dad, Marcus and his feelings of not being a part of the group. Em helps him through it when a phone call from her mom to the house interrupts them. Tiffany is looking for Em and admits to knowing about the kiss and mentions that Jay is sorry about it. Mallory tries to lie about where Em is but she is heard accidently and he hangs up with Em’s mom thinking they are hooking up.

Mickey B awakes outside to darkness, unsure if she is or was dreaming, the thoughts and voices of what Mickey A did come to her mind. She remembers falling, the water rushing in and something shattering before waking up, and she realises what happened. Seeing her legs and what they represent she looks around and notes that she is in the woods; picking up a rock she destroys the braces around her legs. Pox Curare having seen Mickey passed out on the road and brought her into the woods, returns from collecting firewood after hearing the sounds of her destroying the legs. The dead Raven on his shoulder, Cronovan wonders what Mickey is doing and Pox replies that he has no idea. He reveals himself to Mickey and explains how he found her and rests a hand on his shoulder to comfort her. At the touch he activates his power and sees her Truth, discovering that she is not the one he is looking for as well as how she is feeling, which he comments to Cronavan. Mickey notices Pox talking to the dead bird and Pox introduces them. Cronovan tells him to ask Mickey if she’s anything strange and Mickey replies that he’s in Kollok. She asks Pox how he got here and he simply responds that he is from Europe and he walked. Resigned to trusting him Mickey tells Pox about speaking to Sketchy, and he tells her that he and Cronovan are looking for Anomalies. The word gets her attention and Pox admits to knowing Cassandra who like him, also works for the Ministry. Mickey uses her power to search for Tibby to figure out the direction back to town and because of their bond, she is able to see what he sees: himself in the mirror with his new haircut eyes red from crying and he seemingly can sense her watching. Mickey tells Pox where to go and he picks her up with her permission and he starts walking into town.

Back at Mallory’s Em is still reeling from the phone call and how her mom seems so relaxed about the kiss and wonders if Billy would wipe everyone’s mind about it if she asked. Mallory begins to hear his dad whispering to him the word “Underneath” and he flips over the rug in the office; he finds a secret compartment to a box with a timer on it that begins to tick down and his dad warns him of the price of knowledge. Mallory goes quiet as he toys with the word lock which slightly panics Em with the possibility it is a bomb. However, Mallory figures out the code, Sink and inside discover several folders, he picks one which is named the Council as the timer goes to zero and the box locks again. Included in the folder is blueprints and deeds to several buildings, including the law office, that connect to Synchroneity’s underground tunnels and the mine to Phobos heart. Mallory and Em bring the file to the others as Tibby comes out of the bathroom and Em does not break it easy to him about how it looks. Billy sees on the map that there are two more hearts of Phobos, but before anyone can ask about what that means the doorbell rings and Mickey and Pox arrive. Tibby misunderstands the situation thinking Pox another boyfriend and threatens that he will fight him, but Mickey tells him to shut up so she can explain. Billy and Mallory give Tibby some bad advice about how to handle the situation which Laura and Em call them out on and Tibby gets Billy to use his powers on Mickey to see if it’s their Mickey. He sees that it’s all good and after much more idiocy from the boys Mickey and Pox are allowed in. Mickey explains to them all about what she thought were her dreams and the other version of herself, and that the other Mickey broke up with Tibby, who is the only boy she wanted to date and continue to do so. She asks about his shaved head and he explains that he wanted to shave it to hide his identity from D.A.D.D.Y. and Mickey offers her beanie for him to wear until it grows back. Pox introduces himself and Cronovan and Billy realises he can hear him which shocks and annoys the raven.

Pox starts to think that all of them are Anomalies and explains to them about his work for the Ministry of Displacement, extracting dangerous Anomalies but keeps the use Zippers to Reclaim them by “burning them from existence” as Billy overhears Cronavon put it. Mickey, Tibby and Billy have a sidebar and she worries that the Ministry will take the other Mickey from them by killing her to. Tibby brings up his fanfiction about the two of them theorising, after their universe hopping before the summer, that another her could jump into her body and either share it or be sunk underneath the other, but he doesn’t know where the second Mickey came from. Mickey tells them that Prime A continued after they left, that Mickey A is from there and her worry that they could swap out at any time. The thought worries Tibby and Mickey kisses him to prove that she’s the real one, which stuns him but they all believe that she is their Mickey. Pox sighs in resignation at the teenage angst and Cronovan jokes about calling Kollok an anomaly and Zipping the whole town which Billy overhears. The group bring up the three Hearts being the possible Anomalies he’s looking for and Pox asks to touch everyone to see if they are anomalies or not; they all agree but Laura. From Mallory he learns he is not “special” but he is sexually confused. On Em he learns that she is also not an Anomaly but feels a great sense of loneliness inside her. After Billy threatens Pox if he tries to Zip him, he learns several things; that Billy came from a universe that followed the destruction of his own, that he meant the threat against him and has no remorse about it, and that he isn’t the Anomaly. Laura changes her mind about wanting to find out her truth but Pox runs out of energy when he tries.

Cronovan presses Billy about the documents, as Laura asks Pox to explain anomalies but the others keep interrupting her and Pox fails to get the group to answer his own questions. Mallory and Em sidebar and discuss not trusting Pox but using him to figure things out and then get to the Anomaly before him. Feeling left out Laura sidebars with Pox and he tells her that Anomalies feel wrong and out of place, that they could be anything, and they agree to work together. She joins the other group’s sidebar as Billy mentions the portal to the Grotto, the Hearts and Mammon without explaining things and the group come up with a plan to give Pox a list of places to keep him guessing while they head to the law office entrance to uncover the secrets underneath. Pox does not believe Mallory’s lies at all when he tells them so Laura tells him about the Lake. He takes her hand thanking her and uses his power to see if she is lying and discovers that she believes what she says. He uses his second power to make her believe a truth, that he is the sole person that can save and help them. Pox heads off to leave but Billy wants to keep in touch with Cronovan, so he leaves a black feather but gives it to Laura. Em brings up the idea about Mickey A being the Anomaly and Laura wonders about the logistics of hosting two Egos while they try to figure out a way to tell the difference between the two Mickeys. Em brings up just using information only Mickey would know but she explains that they would both know everything before they changed time, which makes Laura wonder if they met her in the past. Tibby tells Laura that they did but he had Marcus remove the exact memory which disturbs her. The group decide on a security question; “What’s the weather?” with the correct answer being “69 degrees” and head out.

The group arrive at the law office and attempt to break in but since the last time they have improved the security system. Laura kicks in the front door and the alarm goes off and they split up; Mallory and Em try to wipe the cameras as the others follow Billy to the location on the blueprint that shows the secret entrance. Mallory and Em have a change in plan and they go outside, Mallory with the deed in hand while Em hides as back up. At the lake Pox arrives and tries to use his power but before he can he hears the alarm going off and heads off to investigate as gunshots ring out. Billy gets distracted by the photo copier while Mickey and Laura search for a hidden door. Outside Sherriff Bull arrives and confronts Mallory but he ignores the deed as it only has his father’s name on it and is immune to Mallory’s pity. He pushes past to head inside. Em gets into his car and attempts to steal it, but reverses it into a pole and knocks out power on the street. She manages to hit the horn to alert the others but Bull comes out and shoots into the car, hitting her in the shoulder. Em uses her power to run around the building out of sight and time restarts. Bull fires until he’s out and holds Mallory down with his other hand. Investigating the car he sees a trail of blood and follows it. Inside Billy uses his power to make the building vanish from the sight of anyone not among his friends.

Pox arrives seeing Bull with his gun to Mallory’s head demanding to know where the building went, but he can see the building behind a field of energy. He distracts the sheriff and Bull sees Pox’s badge and recognises it, reluctantly acknowledging the agreement between the town and the Ministry. Em uses her power again to grab Mallory and get him inside the building while Bull is distracted but during her time stop Pox sees it all unaffected, and takes his badge back from Bull. As time restarts he keeps Bull’s attention on him and the Sheriff mentions knowing Cassandra before inviting Pox away to talk. Inside Tibby heals Em while Mallory and Billy move the photocopiers, but Laura finds the passage down. Underneath they find a tunnel and an old blind woman in a metal chair, guarding the way. She calls out for Mearl and Mallory pretends to be his dad, as she asks if he requires passage. She grants it to the 6 of them and Mallory gets her to talk about the last thing she and him (Mearl) talked about, and she replies that they spoke about a boy, who she confirms is Mallory, that something worked and she wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between them. She calls them, Mearl and Mallory, the same thing before nodding back to sleep.
