The ride back to the Elastic Cave was quiet, mostly because the roaring wind in our ears was not very conducive for conversation. Still, I could tell that Rubberman, sitting behind me on the Beams Cycle, was still trying to process exactly what just happened back there during our conversation with Lady Thunder. I was doing the same, though I found it hard to think and drive at the same time, so I didn’t think too much about it until we got to the Elastic Cave’s second secret entrance. Bringing the Beams Cycle to a stop in the spot where the Rubbermobile was normally parked, Rubberman and I both got off of the Beams Cycle. I looked at Rubberman as he took off his helmet and placed it on a nearby table, stretching his arm long enough to reach over to the table. “Are you all right, boss?”
