voice.
          She turned, and Jane's breath caught in her throat.
          This other Jane had her face, but her skin was different, almost glowing with a golden light, as if all the sunlight she gathered up in the twenty years between them stayed with her and illuminated her from within.
          "I'm going to glow," Jane said.
          And her older self nodded.
          "You already do," the older-Jane said and smiled. "This has to be at least as weird for you as it is for me."
          "If I ever see anything stranger than this in my entire life, I'll be amazed," Jane said.
          "Who did you bring with you?" her future self said. "Annie must be back."
          "I am," Annie said, walking in the room, thumbs tucked into her belt loops. "I told you I'd bring help, didn't I?"
          Doc strode in next, placing a hand on younger-Jane's shoulder.
          Older-Jane's mouth quirked as if she might cry.
          "Oh, Doc," she said, holding a hand out to him. "I haven't seen you in so long."
          "Looks like you turned out alright without me," he said as older-Jane took his hand in hers.
          Titus and Kate came in next.
          The elder Jane gasped and put a hand on Titus's face.
          "Look at you," she said. "Look at your face. I haven't seen your face in so long."
          "Am I . . . Is there . . ." Titus said.
          "It's better if I let him explain," future-Jane said. "You should hear it from him yourself. But you're here. Your older self is in this building."
          She turned to Kate, and a shadow of sorrow fell across her eyes.
          "I'm dead, aren't I?" Kate said.
          "No," older-Jane said. "But again, it's not my story to tell. I'll bring you to her."
          Emily strutted in next; the darkness in the elder Jane's face faded.
          "Who is this?" she asked.
          "Entropy Emily," Emily said. "I'm the leader."
          "Is that so," future-Jane said.
          "Emily is our secret weapon," Annie said. "She's going to turn this fight around, whether she knows it or not."
          "Don't go giving her a swelled head," Billy said, walking into the room last. "She's got a big enough ego as it is."
          Older-Jane lost all decorum and rushed to him, throwing her arms around him ferociously. She picked him up off the ground so only his toes touched the floor.
          "You were saying something about never seeing anything weirder in your entire life?" Emily said to younger-Jane.
          "I take that back," younger-Jane said. "What's happening?"
          Her older self had Billy's shoulders in her hands as if to make sure he still existed.
          "So this isn't awkward at all," Billy said.
          Older-Jane started to talk, but a harsh sob came out instead.
          Billy looked at younger-Jane for help, but she just shrugged.
          Another uniformed person walked into the room from a separate entrance, a teenaged girl with dark hair wearing what appeared to be a knockoff of Billy's costume. She looked around at everyone, particularly staring at younger-Jane, before turning to address Annie.
          "What the heck is happening in here? And why is Solar crying?"
          "I'm sorry," the elder Jane said, composing herself. "Straylight, these are . . . these are the Indestructibles."
          "The beta version," Emily said. "Did she just call you Straylight?"
          "Did you just call her Straylight?" Billy asked.
          "She did. Because I'm Straylight," the girl said. "Who the heck are you?"
          "I'm a girl in this timeline?" Billy said.
          "You're totally a girl in this timeline!" Emily said.
          "He can't be. She's our age now," Titus said. "You're a different Straylight entirely."
          "Oh no," Doc said, stepping back a little.
          Younger-Jane watched as he melded into the shadows a bit, letting the events
