"You remember him?" she asked, surprised but pleased. "Yes, the same magic. He's determined to bring you home, Sam. We all are."

"Hard to forget that leap," Sam said, "even with my memory the way it is." He'd never forget the chance he got to save his brother's life. Or the cost that chance had come at.

And speaking of costs, this case of quantum cross wiring had presented him with an opportunity to address one sort of cost in particular that he doubted he would get again. "Has Magic... well has he ever mentioned whether or not he was OK with what I did?", he said. "Not in terms of saving people, but in terms of leaping into him in the first place? I mean I know I'm there to help, but the fact is that I'm still taking over the lives of the people I leap into for however long I'm there, and I can't exactly ask their permission first."

"No you can't, but Sam? Magic is on the project now. Actively working to make it so another Leaper could come back and find you to bring you home. Pretty sure he's okay with it. But tell you what, let's get you home, then you can talk to him yourself."

"Deal," he said with a brief smile. He didn't know if this mishap actually increased his chances of getting home or not, but was willing to go with it for now. He always had been something of an optimist. "Though that brings up another question; if everyone back home is still working on a way for someone to come back and find me, why did your friend already leap? That seems more likely to just wind up with two people lost in time instead of one."

"Yeah... we're still working on that one. For one thing we were nowhere near ready. For another... I was supposed to be the Leaper, and believe me, he'll be getting an earful when he gets home." When, not if. She refuses to even consider an if.
