  Part Four             “Snake Plissken?! In Total Recall ?! Make that make sense, Al!”             Norah walked side-by-side with Al, as they – along with Cara, Gumball, and Darwin – were forced down into a labyrinth of narrow corridors, honeycombed with open tombs. Plissken kept up the rear, holding the group at gunpoint with an assault rifle. Al glimpsed at him over his shoulder for a fleeting second before turning to Norah to address her concerns. “Out of everything happening right now, that’s what you’re worried about?!” he criticized.             “Yes!” Norah asserted.             Al groaned a little. “The Infinite DC is wrought with rifts – some small enough to transport Captain Ron back there, and others big enough to transport titans like Godzilla...

She was worried about Gumball and Darwin being exposed to it themselves; their mouths were agape and eyes enlarged in typical cartoon fashion, yet somehow neither seemed quite as terrified as she imagined. It was almost as if the boys had seen worse before. Regardless, Quaid was the man they needed to find – according to the video message.             “C’mon,” Cara urged them.             “Hold up!” Gumball protested. “You want to go to the guy who just annihilated four dudes with his bare hands?!”             “We need Quaid to help us understand what happened to our memories!” Cara reminded him. “But you’re welcome to stay here while I’ll talk to him.” She ...
