Important: IF YOU CAN'T STAND LANCE AND/OR TODD GO NOW. Alright there's a few things you should know about this fic. First of it's based on a dream I had at the very end of 2003. So, I'm gonna have to remember that dream the whole time I'm writing this fic. Of course I don't remember the whole dream and I know it must have skipped around a lot, so a good portion of it's gonna be fill in the blank. Fun, fun, yes? Second I've read a few X-Men: Evolution comics (yes, they have those) some of Todd's past is revealed in them and my subconscious dragged that into the story. Messy, messy. Third this fic involves time travel, of course it was easy to understand in my dream, but everyone else gets to be confused by the little explanation down there Vv.
Summery: Okay, this first part is based in the far future of X-men: Evolution that my subconscious made up. All the characters MIA and can be presumed dead except for two, but don't worry cause the majority of my dream took place in the past. That's what the dream was really about, two guys going back in time to try and change the future. Expect multiple character death, but not really... That's gonna need explaining...
On the whole time travel issue: When they go back in time it's like in the comics (for those of you that read them) There wont be an older and a younger version at the same time. The guys that went back in time just take over the bodies of their younger selves, so they look the same, but they know what happened throughout the entire X-Men: Evolution series and beyond. Another thing there's no turning back once your in the past you stay there.

Todd opened the door into a musty old room allowing the dimming flashlight Lance carried to shine in. The room was covered in an inch thick layer of dust and obviously had not been disturbed since it's former owner, Forge, had deserted it in hopes of returning some day. Sadly that day would never come, several projects would remain unfinished for all eternity, until they too became dust.
"I think this is it, yo." Todd stated flatly pushing a strand of long dirty hair out of his face. He stepped into the room and began searching for the one piece of machinery Forge had completed before the sentinels had taken him.
Lance narrowed his eyes scanning the room suspiciously from the door frame "You sure he deactivated everything?" He asked, remembering the mechanics love for booby-traps.
"He had to turn everything off to conserve and build up enough solar energy to power the device." Todd quoted mockingly as Lance aimed his flashlight at him. "You weren't payin' attention. You heard the words 'time travel' and said 'we'll do it' and off went your brain right down memory lane. Leavin' me to listen to instructions."
Lance shrugged, "I was excited, it's not like you get handed a chance to go back in time every day. I mean people dream about this sort of thing, it's a second chance to make up for all the crap we screwed up when we were younger!" Lance exclaimed cheerfully. "We'll get to see the boarding house and Kitty and why arn't you excited?"
"What if we screw up and make things worse?" Todd sighed as he turned the power back on. Immediately the room lit up, putting Lance's flashlight to shame. "We don't even know how far back this thing'll send us, yo."
"That's why we both have to go, Toad, to stop each other from screwin' up too much and just think no matter how far back this thing sends us we'll still know what to expect." Lance said encouragingly while Todd tried to follow Forge's instructions on how to operate the machine.
"That's what I'm afraid of, yo?" Todd muttered as he entered in access codes. Lance frowned grimly, now he understood losing people once was hard, but what if they knew what was coming and still couldn't save them? Sure they could change the future, but what about the inevitable. "Go stand over there." Todd said pointing to a large metal platform.
Lance walked to his appointed place obediently. "Todd?" he asked without his former enthusiasm.
Todd jumped up next to him on the platform, he flashed Lance a wicked grin. "No turnin' back now, we'll try, yo and besides there ain't nothin' better to do." He commented without a hint of regret in his voice.
Lance looked at the machine reassured. "We could have blown stuff up." Lance quipped.
"We will." Todd said with a smirk as the time traveling device activated.
A bright explosion could be seen for miles as the machine ripped through the time space continuum, destroying everything within its blast range and sending Lance and Todd back in time.
********************************************************************************
The next chapter wont have Lance at all, but it will have Wanda and Scott and Jean! OH MY! Oh, yeah, Todd'll be there too. Little warning though, Todd was not happy camper before joining the Brotherhood. No, not really a sane camper either.
