''Some time after starting work at the White Rabbit, Jack is visited by Avril and explains that there are three versions of Benny: one who was eaten by a ''[[Tyrannosaurus rex]]'', one whom he last heard was with [[the Epoch]] and one whom he left Earth with after a version of Ruth died. He and that Benny were remapped into the [[27th century]], around [[2613]], and he became the [[entertainment manager]] on the cruiser that their [[shuttle]] turned into whilst Benny went off to the [[Raloogan system]] with [[archaeologist]]s. When he heard about Irving, he travelled to Legion in the hopes that he would run into Benny.''

Avril brought Jack and Ruth to Legion so that she could absorb their youth and vitality when she manifests her new body as the [[asteroid]] [[Hera (comet)|Hera]] passes overhead. She found Benny in [[stasis]] on [[Mars]] and placed Ruth in another pod before taking the body of [[Lewis (The Curse of Fenman)|Professor Lewis]] and missing Benny's resuscitation by some months, meaning that she had to wait until she reached Legion. Irving reveals that he has destroyed the asteroid required to restore Avril, allowing Ruth and Jack to destroy their crystals. Peter then shoots Avril, sacrificing Antonio. Benny hugs him as he cries and apologises for not having been there for him and Antonio.

Jack and Ruth go for a walk and discuss Ruth's feelings about the person that she once was. After going to Bastion with Peter to bury Antonio, Benny returns and admonishes Irving for having destroyed the asteroid given that Avril was there in a "bizarre, echoey, scary way", but admits that she wants to trust him. He feels that he now has a clean slate and a family.
