He's been taken again. Taken away from his family.

The explanation the Nygods gave him wasn't satisfactory. He only had one love, but it had taken David every ounce of his being to stop Delta. Stop him from doing something both of them would regret.

Your time will come.

He's certain Delta, Bourne, would be needed in this place, but, for now, he was content to bide his time. People on the network said time stopped still while he was here. Maybe it was true, part of him called it impossible. But still, he was here, wandering around a park, getting a sense of his surroundings.

He was busy looking up at a tree when he just walks square into the back of someone, staggering back.

"Oh... God. I'm so sorry."

The hairs on the back of his neck almost set fire the instant he hears someone approaching. Little too late to move, he quickly spins on a heel and takes some steps back. Muscles tense and all too ready to launch himself in defense.

When his eyes land on the other man and looks him down, he relaxes just a touch.

"Yeah," David tries to smooth it out like he had just been shocked by it, but there's no way someone would move that rigidly as the other man might know. A hand comes to rub the back of his neck for a moment. "Hey... It's okay."

David doesn't even remember 'the talk'. Seems like he skipped all of that and ended here. In a park. Nothing familiar but the ground and trees.

Deep inside, Delta notices. The spin, the tensing, the positioning...

He almost follows suit. Almost. David manages to reign it back in. Back to Professor Webb.

"Good. I guess I'm just kinda lost." He smiles abashedly. "Sorry."

"You're not alone there," easily comes the reply but he's paying attention to his surroundings. It's almost too familiar to him to be somewhere that's not familiar. Irritation and frustration slowly took over the pounding of anxiety against his chest. He can't be sure of anything. He can't be sure that this man in front of him was not someone from Treadstone, or Blackbriar, or any other number of blackop agencies they created over the bodies that the last one piled up.

"I, uh. Not really sure where I am." David doesn't really smile but he does do the hopeless and harmless look fairly well.
