Okay so heres my reasoning on this fic.
1) there has been a LOT of speculation about the adam and eve theory(for those of you that don't know what this is, pop on over to lostforum. the info is quite convincing)
2) I love how the writers have used the flashbacks/through time flashes to show us instead of telling us flat out the answers to LOST
3)More or less a disclaimer- I KNOW this isn't how it actually went down, since I'm settign this in the middle of the Little prince if Im not mistaken, where the Left behinders are headed back to the beach to get the boat the Zodiac. Obviously if this scene had happened, those characters would probably have acted differently after witnessign this, but I wanted to show the concept of how i think we will learn about Adam and Eve. I would do this as a time flash later in the season, but I don't know the future plot well enough to write it as taking place during episode 13 through 17 or so. So... my apologies. hopefully that made sense...or at least will after you read it?
Sawyer groaned as the low humming noise started, charging the air around them. They were on their way back to the beach to pick up the Zodiac, and this was the third flash since they had started back. He heard Juliet swear under her breath as the noise increased, causing them both to wince in pain. Charlotte cried out; he felt sorry for her. The flash ended and Sawyer let out a long breath. Those things were getting more and more painful. Juliet gasped in surprise and Sawyer spun around, gun ready, lowering it instantly as he watched Bernard and Hurley walk by, faces somber with a body covered in a blue tarp on a stretcher. He frowned and glanced further down the trail; they were near the caves. Jin and another version of Locke, a new looking scar crossing his forehead came followed bearing another tarp covered body.
"We don't have all day," Miles said, interrupting Sawyer and bringing him back to reality. Sawyer shot him a glare and motioned to the beach.
"No ones stopping you Chinatown," He huffed, "We'll be right with you," he said, motioning to Juliet who was also captivated by the scene. She frowned trying to see in between the crack of the tarp; only making out a messy head of brunette curls.
Miles rolled his eyes, but helped Daniel help Charlotte to her feet and they left. Sawyer frowned, "Where's Locke?" he asked concerned and exasperated by the older mans often insane antics.
Juliet smiled, understanding where his concern came from, "He didn't eve stop, he just kept plowing towards the beach," she said dryly raising an eyebrow. Sawyer huffed and ran his hand through his hair, stepping out onto the trail to follow Jin and Locke. "Do you know you you're people are burying?" Juliet asked, offering him a sympathetic smile.
"No," Saywer whispered, feeling his voice quiver, "We buried everyone on the beach," he added. She shot him a confused look, "Didn't you see that new battle wound of Lockes?" he added, "…if Danny Boy is right, and we are traveling through time," he swallowed, remembering seeing Kate in the jungle, "Then…I think we're in the future," he looked to her, "Our future," he said quietly.
Juliet tilted her head, "Hurley was here James," she said quietly. He pulled at the strap of his gun which was again slung across his shoulder.
"I'll be damned," he whispered, "Mr. Cleans' plan must work then," he said quietly, preparing to turn and head back towards camp.
Juliet put her hand on his arm, "Don't you want to see who it is?" she asked quietly. He swallowed hard, his forehead pulling together tightly, his piercing blue eyes looking at her intensely, "And why would I want to do that?" he asked, his voice harsh to mask his fear.
She raised an eyebrow, as usual, not intimidated by his attitude; god it was annoying. And yet slightly refreshing he had to admit, "Because neither of us was helping to carry a body," she said quietly. Sawyer closed his eyes temporarily; that was exactly why he didn't want to see the bodies.
He opened his mouth to argue-"Sawyer, Juliet, I didn't think you would come," Sun's sympathetic voice interrupted, and they turned to look at the Korean woman; her face tear stained and red.
Sawyer swallowed, and exchanged a look with Juliet; the confirmation from future Sun that it wasn't them did even less to put them at ease then they had thought it might.
Sawyer felt his insides turn; who was left? He nodded to Sun slowly, "Yeah, I wouldn't miss this," he said, his voice tight and raw with fear.
Sun offered him a weak smile, her lips trembling and she put a supportive hand on Sawyers shoulder as she walked past, adding in a hushed voice to Juliet, "I'm glad you convinced him to come. I know they both would have wanted it," Juliet offered a small half smile, feeling a similar wave of dread over come her. Sun smiled at them again, "Come on, it will be…" she swallowed, struggling to control her voice, "It is about to start," she said finally.
The followed Sun to the caves. The group congregated there was small and Sawyer was again reminded with a pang of guilt of all the people who had been killed after the flaming arrow people had attacked. Hurley, Locke, Sun, Jin, Rose, Bernard, Daniel, Miles, Sayid, Desmond, and Claire were there. Sawyer raised an eyebrow in surprise, about to walk over to her when Juliet put her hand on his arm. "We don't know what will happen if we talk to her," she said, her tone as clinical, rational, and calm as ever. "She's here, so she's alive and safe," she reminded him. He glared at her, but when she released his arm made no move towards her. He swallowed and surveyed the room again; feeling his stomach drop as he easily identified the two key absences.
He swayed slowly towards Sun, his voice low with fear again, "How'd they die?" he whispered.
She shot him a slightly confused look, "Together," she answered first. He stiffened, and she added, "They died saving us," Sawyer clenched his jaw, wanting to grab her and shake her; wanting to learn what had happened, how to prevent it-wanting to know how to save her; and even, he admitted to himself, he wanted to know how to save him for her. "You can't change the events in the time stream," Daniels words reminded him and Sawyer resisted yelling out in frustration and grief.
Locke walked forward slowly, unusually somber, and reached into his pocket, pulling out a small pouch. "You two were always such opposites," he said quietly, shifting the bag in his hands, "You saved us all…but…right now…I wish you hadn't believed me," he added so quietly only Sawyer heard it, his entire body tense and not breathing. He swallowed, his heart pounding against his chest as Sun and Claire wept quietly. Locke moved to pull the tarp back, the bag in his hand to bestow upon the bodies. A low pitched humming noise soon vibrated through his core, rising over the sobs of the women.
"No," he whispered, putting his hands over his ears. "No!" he roared as the light blinded him, just as Locke pulled back the tarp. The humming stopped and the light dimmed. Sawyer looked around frantically, and let out a low cry. The cave was empty now.
the scene itself is how I see Darlton showing us Adam and eve. Like i said, I know it isn't like a legitamate possible missing scene of TLP, but i think either sawyer will travel through time again and see this, or desmond will when he is changing/alligning events (as he is the only one who can "travel" through time) but like I said, i don't know those circumstances so I didn't want to write it that way. Maybe I will revise it once I see and understand better where they are headed with the time travel.
