Treading Dangerous Waters

Nigel Uno sat at his desk in school and tried to listen to his math teacher. It had been three days since the incident with the time machine. Three days since his life and his fellow agents lives were changed forever. Now they watched their every move. They even watched the moves of people they didn't even know, aware that anything could either change their fate or guarantee it.

The bell rang. Lunchtime.

Nigel went to sit with Lizzie Devine, his girlfriend.

"Hmph, I'm glad that you finally took the initiative to invite me to lunch and plan a romantic lunch yourself," was Lizzie's greeting to Nigel's arrival.

"Hello Lizzie," Nigel said trying to sound bright.

"What's wrong?" Lizzie asked.

"Nothing," Nigel lied, "I talked with someone and in a few minutes we'll each have a slice of Devil Chocolate cake," he told her.

Lizzie wasn't convinced that Nigel was okay. But she brightened at the mentioning of cake.

"What else?" Lizzie asked excitedly.

"A sundae with chocolate syrup, nuts, and a cherry to top it off," Nigel said, "vanilla shakes for each of us…" he listed.

"Hey!" Lizzie cried suspiciously, "how come you're being so nice all of a sudden?"

"Um, because you're my girlfriend," Nigel said nervously, "and I want to…treat you," he added.

"Oh Nigie!" Lizzie cried happily and hugged him tightly, "I knew you loved me!" she shouted as she hugged an almost blue in the face Nigel, "I knew it!" she declared.

"Lizzie," Nigel wheezed.

"Oh yeah," Lizzie realized going red in the face and letting Nigel go, "I forgot you were delicate like that," she told him dismissively.

Nigel rubbed his neck and did his best not to glare at Lizzie angrily.

Delicate! For God's sake I'm a human who needs to breathe, Nigel thought incredulously.

I wonder why he's being so romantic? Lizzie wondered, if he cheated on me he's DEAD!

"Let's just enjoy our lunch," Nigel said kindly and Lizzie smiled and agreed.


Meanwhile at Sector V, Wally and Kuki sat together in his room. Everything had turned upside down. Now they had revealed their feelings to each other but instead of being happy they were scared. How long would their love last? Kuki was fated to die and Wally…. He was sickened by his fate. Living on that island with… It just made him want to vomit.

"It will be okay Kuki," Wally said holding her tightly to him.

"What if I really die Wally?" Kuki asked him.

"No!" Wally shouted defiantly, "we have to fight this Kuki," he told her, "we can't let these things happen!"

"I know," Kuki said and sighed.

"I'll protect you," Wally promised, "the Wally from the future might not have been able to protect you but I will, I promise," he told Kuki.

Kuki smiled and kissed Wally on the cheek. Wally stiffened and went red. Kuki just closed her eyes and giggled.


Abby Lincoln exited school and headed straight for KND's secret hospital. She went straight to the ward where Jerry Rassic was being kept.

Jerry was attached to a lot of machines and was still unconscious. To believe that if they hadn't gone after him that sector v would never know their futures dug at her deep. Worse if someone else went after him and found out. That would've been bad. Especially if the person who found out was a villain.

"Hello Numbuh 5," Numbuh 86 said formally as she entered.

Numbuh 5 almost jumped.

I have to calm down, Numbuh 5 decided, this whole fate mess has me so jumpy lately.

"Something on your mind?" Numbuh 86 asked emphasising her Scottish Highland accent.

"Uh no, Numbuh 5 has nothing in her head, um I mean on her mind," Numbuh 5 corrected herself.

Numbuh 86 looked at her suspiciously.

"Well," Numbuh 86 said slowly, "so Jerry's fall was an accident right?" she asked.

"Ye...," Numbuh 5 started to say, "are you accusing sector v of somethin'?"

"No," Numbuh 86 said innocently, "why would I do such a thing?" she asked.

"We contacted Moon Base for help for his injuries as soon as we found him," Numbuh 5 said.

"Just that it seems to have taken a while," Numbuh 86 said, "the test said he was lying there for over half an hour before you even called for help," she pointed out, "care to explain?" she asked.

Numbuh 5 was trapped.

"I explained to you what happened already Francine," Numbuh 2 said coldly as he entered.

"Excuse me!" Numbuh 86 shouted, "but it's Numbuh 86 head of Decommissioning," she declared proudly.

"Also known as Francine 'Fanny' Fullbright," Numbuh 2 teased her.

Numbuh 5 was shocked. She never expected Numbuh 2 to ever take charge and defend her like this.

He could possess some great leadership skills, Numbuh 5 thought to herself.

Then she paled.

Oh Crap, Numbuh 5.

"Ahem," Numbuh 5 said, "I think you should apologize to Numbuh 86," she said suddenly.

Both Numbuh 2 and 86 looked at her in shock and horror.

"W…Wh...What?" Numbuh 86 asked completely shocked.

Numbuh 2 could only look at her in disbelief.

"As second in command I order you to apologize Numbuh 2," Numbuh 5 said firmly.

"No," Numbuh 2 refused.

"Are…Are you refusing to listen to Numbuh 5 Numbuh 2?" Numbuh 5 asked seriously.

"You really are a self-serving lady dictator aren't you?" Numbuh 2 asked recalling what she was like in the future, "you'd rather a better fate than to defend your own friends," he said hatefully and stormed out.

"Better fate!" Numbuh 86 cried incredulously, "I demand to know what is going on?" she demanded of Numbuh 5.

"Numbuh 5 says drop dead," Numbuh 5 said coldly and stormed out.

Numbuh 86 stood there open mouthed.

How? How? How dare she! Numbuh 86 thought angrily, she'll pay for that along with that stupid fat boy Numbuh 2, she declared, I bet if I do some digging of my own I'll find the real reason why they took so long to call for medical attention for Jerry Rassic and why no immediate source can be found for that mysterious explosion that happened in the part of his research centre where they claim to have fought him.
