No, no! This wasn't right! That's not where he wanted to go! Instead of ending up at his desired destination he found himself in the back seat of a smashed burning car. Once he got over his time sickness as fast as he could. There was a high pitch scream that would lower only for a few seconds, like whoever was screaming was catching a breath while still screaming, then go back up. When his vision cleared completely he found flames circling around them from the front seats and the trunk. The screaming seemed to come from his right side. He twisted his head to see a baby still strapped in the back-facing car seat. The baby didn't seem to notice him because his head was tilted back looking up at something on the roof at the front of the car. Sun roof. He's looking out the sun roof. That was when he noticed it was dark beyond the flames in the car. The flames starting jumping for their row. If he didn't do something this baby would die! Despite shouting voices in his head telling him that it was a violation of time he unbuckled the child and picked him the moment he felt nothingness. He gently laid the screaming child's head on his chest. The act alone seemed to calm him to the point where the loudness became nothing more than a whimper. He looked down at the small kid whose ear was right above his heart listening to it beat. There was something different with this one. He'd seen thousands of babies before in the past but this one was just…different. Even in the darkness of Outer Time he could see thin whips of dark, rusty blonde hair was scattered on his rather bald head. His eyes were squeezed shut like he was afraid of what he might see if he opened them up. Little fist grabbed his shirt. Drawing him even closer to his heart. In his mind it was like a war zone. One side for saving for him and the other for protecting time. He couldn't send him back to that death could he? All of it was perfectly safe. No laws were broken. No one was there to see anything, not through the fire. This was a perfectly pulled off rescue. He defended. This wasn't like Matt when he pulled him out of that building that was collapsing and on fire. He felt like this was meant to be. Even though the others at the agency would call it Elucidator malfunction. He knew he didn't do anything that would have caused him to gone to that time. A slight vibration feeling in his hands told him the kid was shaking. Looking at the frighten kid he couldn't help but say,
"Hey, hey, it's going to be alright." Suddenly he a wave of grief or guilt hit him. He couldn't tell what it was so he figured it was both. He saved this kid and he didn't know anything about him. From looking at him he couldn't be older than a few weeks. As soon as we get back I'm going to figure who you are and your story. I'll make sure you get a well carrying family to adopt you. As if he could read his mind the baby's tiny fist clinched his shirt even tighter. The light came zooming up to greet them.
