Cliff adjusted the laces on the boots that JMI had sent over just a couple of days ago, then stood up.

It was after midnight, and the others were still changing into their uniforms in the house while he stood outside the open garage next to his own parked bike.

He pushed his thumb into the circle on the front of the bike, and it immediately transformed into black, blue, and silver.

He sat down on it and pressed his thumb into the circle on the touchscreen.

His eyes hovered over all the options, but the "submit works" option caught his eye.

"What are you doing?" he heard Drew ask him.

"Hey, they said you weren't supposed to touch that when they called us," Jack said.

Cliff looked up.

"Well, those 'Jikanime' fellows aren't here, are they?"

He put his head down and pushed the back button on his screen.

"Besides, it's good that I know. It gives us an advantage."

"Not sure we need that, Cliff," Liam told him.

"Well," he looked up and put his hands on his knees. "I say we do."

"I thought I was leading the group," Drew told him.

"If you're the leader, I can be the co-leader."

"No one said anything about two lea—"

"Shut it, Jack," Cliff interrupted him.

Jack scoffed, and Keegan showed up to their discussion.

"What's going on?"

"Oh, nothing Keeg," Cliff smiled. "Just a little discussion among leaders."

"Damn it!"

The time destination input already had the dates filled in, much to Jack's dismay.
