'It's finished!' A voice echoed throughout the secret wing of the school. The heroes sprinted to Hephaestus's workshop to be greeted by a beaming Odie.
'What's finished?' Jay asked worryingly, scanning the area. Odie held up a metallic box.
'This! The paradox machine!' This was met by an array of confused faces. 'I drew on my research for subatomic levels and the space time continuum...'
'What does it do Odie?' Archie interrupted, with his usual crossed arms and toe tapping impatiently. Odie sighed.
'When we travel through time we are constantly at risk to meeting ourselves at another point in our own timeline, which could potentially cause a cataclysmic backfire of energy...' the baffled expressions returned '...basically bad stuff would happen. This machine allows us to interfere with our past, present and future without negative outcomes. So we can relive memories, see what we're like when we're old...'
'Or find out if we defeat Cronus.' Jay cut in, smiling. 'I've asked the seasons about this and they say they have enough power to send us 6 months into the future, where we can meet ourselves and assess the situation with Cronus. By that time as well they would have gained enough power to send us back again.'
'Sounds dangerous' mutter Theresa.
'Sound fun!' Atlanta encouraged placing her arm around her friend's shoulders. 'Just imagine meeting yourself in the future, and all the stuff you can ask her!' Theresa sent her a weak smile, which quickly faded back to a worried frown.
'I just have a bad feeling about this guys.'
