I used the face of Barbara Palvin as my OC (Holly Adams) and Dean O' Gorman as Jake Adams. 4.) I don't really speak English ._. So once in a while my grammar might be blah. OTL 5.) Comments are highly appreciated 6.) Please enjoy my story :D

Years after a deadly virus called the Flare killed millions of people all around the world, everything was back to normal. After WICKED's downfall, a new organization was created in the effort of finding a cure without the use of inhumane tests such as the maze. With the information they already have about the Flare and thorough research and studies, they have had successfully created a cure. They produced millions of vaccines and medications for the deadly disease and without any hesitation cured those people infected with it.

TAIMN read as time was known worldwide as the organization that saved and rebuilt the human race. They were the ones that discovered the cure for the Flare and ever since they came around, there were lesser violence and lesser incurable diseases in the entire world. No one knew how or what TAIMN did to maintain peace and order but whatever it was, they were definitely doing a great job. TAIMN had built headquarters all over the world but the flagship stood where WICKED used to be.

In the middle of the busy city stood TAIMN's twenty stories building. When standing near the building, it looked like a cube that was as white as marble. But from afar, it showed off an optical illusion as if it was circular in shape like a clock. The optical illusion served as a reminder to the people that with TAIMN, peace and order will go on continuously. At the top right of the building was their logo in black steel: a big crescent shape with a figure of a carved doll in the middle and over it was the initials T.A.I.M.N. Other than security and cafeteria staff, TAIMN's other workers were divided into three categories—the TAIMN travelers, the Watchers, and the Clock Masters.

Intelligent, skillful, and physically fit—these were a few requirements for being a TAIMN traveler as they did most of the field job. A majority of these TAIMN travelers were young adults who served as secret agents and were quick to their feet and could get away through whatever danger they were involved in. Every day, TAIMN travelers spent an hour or more in the eleventh floor training rooms to exercise both their body and mind for future missions.

When given a mission, TAIMN travelers would go to the TAIMN pod area located in the twelfth to fifteen floors. These TAIMN pods were white pod shaped machines wherein in the travelers would lie down and conduct their mission serving as transporters. As they lay down comfortably in the pods, various wires and tubes would be connected to their body and into machines that would record their body's condition and the mission's progress. When settled in, the pods will close and keep the unconscious traveler inside. Their bodies would be scanned by a bright white light and engulfed by an odorless gas that would relax their bodies and be taken to their mission's location, unconscious. When they have reached their destination, nothing will change except for their age. If a traveler was nineteen going back to two years ago, then he or she will turn into his or her seventeen year old self. Although, there were limitations in being a TAIMN traveler and thus a few guidelines should always be in mind. 1.) They cannot go as far as ten years ago. 2.) TAIMN travelers can alter a few things in the past. 3.) A TAIMN traveler can die during a mission and cannot be revived back to life. 4.) TAIMN travelers should be focused on the mission because once they fail it, they can't redo it anymore. 5.) TAIMN travelers are not allowed to time travel for personal reasons. (Ex. undoing a mistake he/she had done, bring back a loved one who died, etc.) 6.) After completing the mission, everyone in TAIMN stays the same even if things in the present change because of the alteration.

It was up to the Watchers to keep an eye on the TAIMN travelers who were unconscious and doing their mission. These Watchers served as doctors and kept an eye on the monitors that displayed the current condition of the travelers. When a mission succeeded, a green light would appear on the screen. When a traveler was badly injured, it would show an orange light and would beep several times if it worsened. And if a traveler died and failed a mission, a red light would appear. If a TAIMN traveler was in a critical condition, the Clock Master would get to decide on bringing the traveler back to recuperate before continuing the mission. When that happens, the traveler's body that was in the past would now be the one in an unconscious state while his/her real body at present time would be treated.

These TAIMN travelers were trained for one purpose— to change a few things in the past to make a better future.
