A.N: I figured out fairly quickly that my brain likes going over two or more possibilities for a story too often for me to consider focusing on just one. So, I'll be posting the original version as a series of vignettes, drabbles, oneshots, however I feel the next chapter is supposed to go. There will be no timeline, I will shamelessly screw over your sense of chronological order, and basically have fun with myself. The alternate one, which I will post later, is going to be a series of oneshots and vignettes exclusively. Please read and review them both!
Jade Celandine, out!
Prologue
"So we just helped you come up with tech for universe-jumping, a project that took over three years and four of my summers, because you wanted to be a total fanboy?" she asked incredulously, foisting the crumpled blueprints at the blonde beside her. "Why didn't you just say so!?"
"Uh... 'cause I was too busy to remember?" Evan offered tentatively.
CLONG! Que a convenient wrench finding its way to contact on the poor sot's head. "Dammit, woman!"
"Oh, shut up, it's not like you'll suffer permanent brain damage. Can't risk that little genius in there this early in the game." Liz grinned fiercely at the dawning horror in Alyosha's face annd the enthusiastic hope in Evan's.
"Can we not?" the Russian whined. He just came for Call of Duty, seriously! (And maybe sneak the whiskey, but nobody else had to know right?)
"NO, WE'RE GOING!"
"Whyyyyyyy?!"
