What if I never existed?
"Oh, won't you go on, Connor?" Abby snapped, angrily walking away from their argument.
"Abby, you're taking this all too far!" Connor followed close behind her.
"Just go away Connor!" Abby growled, refusing to turn to face him.
"Please, Abby, don't be such a child about it! I said I would replace it." Connor was talking with his hands. "Quit acting like you can't hear me! I exist Abby!"
Abby froze, turned on her heels quickly and glared at Connor. How dare he call her childish! It was him acting so childish that caused the problem.
"Connor, as far as I'm concerned right now, you don't exist." Abby seethed.
Connor held his tongue for a moment, "That's really mature."
She didn't speak to him. She only stared at him accusingly, shook her head; then turned and continued on.
Abby recalled the last time her and Connor had spoken. They had been arguing over something petty, but she couldn't recall what it was. Whatever it was, it was completely not worth their argument. If she had known then what she knew now, she would have completely ignored whatever spurred the argument. She wouldn't have volunteered to go through the anomaly, just to get away from Connor.
Had she known that her going back would have changed her life forever, she would have stayed at home.
While on the other side of the anomaly, the team was attacked by raptors. Several soldiers got killed. Becker had barely managed to pull them back through the anomaly before he and Abby got killed themselves.
Abby completely expected to be greeted by a worried Connor when she stumbled back through the anomaly. So when she didn't instantly hear his voice, she pulled her knees underneath her and looked around. There was no trace of Connor anywhere.
"Danny, where is Connor gone to?" Abby asked while attempting to catch her breath.
"Connor?" Danny gave her a questioning look.
"Yeah, Connor." Abby echoed.
"Connor who?" Danny looked around the area surrounding them, at all the men in uniforms.
"Connor. Connor. As in Connor Temple. Tall, dark hair, a daft genius." Abby described Connor as simply as she could.
Surely this was a joke. Danny knew who Connor was.
"I don't know a Connor Temple." Danny responded back.
"Yes you do, he is brains of the team! Built the anomaly locking device." Abby's heart was starting to tighten.
"No, as far as I know, Hank Forman built it." Danny's head nodded over towards the tall blonde man next to the anomaly locking device.
Abby's eyebrows squeezed together as she studied the man's back (seeing as that was what was facing her), "No he didn't. Connor built it! He has built everything we use to help with the anomalies!"
"No, that was Hank." Danny corrected her.
"I think I would know what Connor built. He lives with me and uses all my bloody stuff to build with!" Abby argued.
"Abby are you okay?" Danny bent down next to her.
"I'm fine. Just tell me where Connor is!" Abby's chest heaved up and down heavily.
"Abby, I don't know Connor. I do know he doesn't live with you though, unless you've gotten a new flatmate within the last 24 hours. A new flatmate and boyfriend."
"Boyfriend? Connor's not my-"
"Raptors, eh? Bet that was a bloody nightmare." Hank had walked over to where she and Danny were.
She could almost see Connor in him. The way he dressed, the way he styled his blonde hair, even the way he talked.
"Um, Hank, maybe you should take Abby to the infirmary back at the ARC, she isn't feeling all too well." Danny suggested.
"I'm feeling fine! If someone would just tell me where Connor is!" Abby was growing frustrated and tired of this game.
"Who is Connor?" Hank asked, raising a blonde eyebrow.
"I don't know." Danny confessed.
"This is getting old! Someone tell me where he is! I swear if he set this up, I'll kill him!" Abby shoved off of the ground.
"Did you hit your head or something, love?" Hank said as his arm went around her waist.
Abby looked offended at the touch. Where did he get the idea he could just walk up and touch her so friendly like?
"No, I didn't hit my head! Why are you touching me?" Abby slithered away from him.
"Abby, love, whats wrong?" Hank asked, taking a step towards her.
"I don't know you!" Abby's throat began to tighten as tears stung her eyes, "Will someone please tell me where Connor is? This isn't funny anymore!"
"Abby, whoever this Connor person is...he doesn't exist." Danny informed her in a soft tone.
