Ledger raised an eyebrow. "Hi, ladies," he said. He looked at Mateo. "What do you mean, looking for me? Did something happen? Am I in trouble?"
"Yes on something and no, you're not in trouble.. at least not like that." Mateo tried to explain. "Some serious shit is about to go down, well technically, it already has. It's actually more life or death and right now, you're the one we need helping us."

Ledger looked at Mateo, raising an eyebrow skeptically. "Why me?"
"Son, you're the one he wants. Trust me, he ain't gonna stop till you're on board," Samara said. "Literally. So just calm your spurs and hop on board this stagecoach. Be best thing for you."
"Where the hell are you from?" Ledger asked.
Samara narrowed her eyes. "A time and place that'd whoop a kid like you for bein' that disrespectful. AIn't nobody talkin' to nobody like that, especially to a woman or an elder."
Ledger shook his head. "Fine. I'll follow or whatever. Ok. Let's go. Beam me up or whatever you're gonna do."

Mateo shrugged his shoulders as he couldn't argue with the results. Now in agreement, the four made their way back to The Patricia without incident.
"Welcome to The Patricia. Currently, we're on the Bridge. It's where the ship is flown and where I get all of my info about things past and present." He began explaining. Given the time period, he knew this to be an era where ships and time travel were more common, primarily due to television, movies, and conspiracy theorists. "I use this ship to travel all throughout time to protect against threats wish unsavory intentions with my partner, Sensei." Mateo explained.
"Pleasure to meet you, Ledger." Sensei's AI head emerged from the center panel, greeting the newest recruit.

Ledger grinned. "Fully integrated AI? Dude, this is sick." He looked at Mateo. "Wait. Time travel is real? Not just fiction in comics or TV? Literal actual time travel? Hell yes!"
Samara raised an eyebrow. "Why so excited, son?"
"Stop calling me that." Ledger gave Samara a look. "Seriously. I ain't your "son" so stop calling me that. Seriously, when the fuck are you from?"
"1902. Born in Tombstone, Arizona in 1880. So I've got a long time on you, kid. So you best learn to start respectin' your elders," Samara said. "Cause I ain't afraid to smack the hell outta you like my mama did me."

"Samara, Ledger... no need for the claws to come out. Save that for the enemy." Mateo smiled, looking to play peace keeper.

Lalah shook her head and sighed. Then she walked over to Ledger. "You handle this whole time concept well like myself. I am impressed, Ledger." She smiled. "Oh yes, like Samara come from 1902, I am from Pittsburgh in 1962. This explains Mateo recruiting us at different timelines."

"Sorry, Mateo, but I ain't gonna be disrespected. You seen where I'm from. I ain't handlin' that," Samara said. She sighed, pinching her nose softly.

"People have thought time travel existed for a long time. Videos of guys on cell phones from the 1950s, guys in photos from centuries ago that look like people on television now. It's a concept I've always loved. Tried writing a time travel story once, but it didnt' work out," Ledger said with a smile. "Hell, one of my favorite shows was a series about a group of misfit heroes traveling time in a ship that looked, honstly, pretty damn similar to this with an AI like Sensei. Kinda made me think I was on the Waverider."

"A cheap copy, I'm sure." Mateo took a seat in the captain's chair. "Sensei, who's the last man up?"
"Leon Steele in the year 2190."
"Steele? As in wrestling Steele?" Mateo asked.
"One and the same. He is a descendant of Duncan Steele, the Pro Wrestling Hall of Famer and multi time world champion across several promotions." Sensei responded. "In 2190, Leon is aspiring to be a master swordsman."
"That's actually perfect. We need a swordsman." Mateo said. "It's settled! Sensei, set a course to 2190. Ledger, there's a Synthezier down the hall to get you into some period appropriate clothes." Mateo's explained a little more to Ledger about the Synthesizer. Thankfully, he didn't have to go into as much detail because of his pre-existing knowledge of time travel and futuristic things.

Lalah hoped down the line she had the opportunity to watch a time travel show. Frankly, she only had a radio and newspaper to follow. As Mateo gave Ledger a brief tour of the ship, she took a glance at Samara.
"Samara, how are you feeling about this so far?" Lalah asked, wanting to start a conversation with her.

Leon just finished up some of his sword fighting kata's as he took a moment to kneel and center his mind. "Number 11, your mine." He said aloud as he closed his eyes and remained at peace for the time being.

Samara sighed softly. The young woman was completely out of her element, having nothing like any of the stuff on the ship in her simple life as a barmaid. "Wish I could tell you. This all feels like somethin' out of a penny book and I ain't used to it. It's all shiny spots and intense lightin' and I'm outta my depth. I'm just a bargirl from a western town. Ain't none of this kinda thing in Alexander or even Tombstone."

"Believe me. I feel the same." Lalah responded with an understanding nod. "While I appreciate this temporal displacement, it becomes overwhelming to adjust. I'm used to listening to the radio, reading the newsprint, doing what I love through art. It is vastly different that I am in my time." She admitted before thinking of a offer. "You know, hopefully after things settled down, I would like to listen to your tales. Your life is unique that I would like to know more about it."

"I could tell stories," Samara said with a small smile. "Be a lot of drunk cowboys gettin' into fights over the girls in the saloons, or cattle drives and the way those boys would try and take over towns on the way, but I'm sure I'd find somethin' entertainin' to talk about."
Ledger walked out of his room, having changed to fit the next time period. "Ok, this is different," he said. "THat synthesizer was great. Makes anything. Even shoes. That was dope. My sisters would love that."

"Looking good, man!" Mateo complimented the new clothing before he followed suit. Soon after everyone was ready, the group landed in 2190. The Patricia opened up the exit, allowing the group to step off board.
"Ah its been a while! I've always enjoyed these more futuristic time periods." Mateo took a deep breath, enjoying the area.

As Leon was centering his mind, a bright red light alerted him that there was someone in the area by his private dojo. He looked and noticed civilians outside his dojo on the monitors when he picked up his phone that was nearby. He decided to hide in the shadows as Leon had problems before with people snooping around. He waited patiently for them to make their appearance.
