I'm back with the fourth and final and longest part of this four-shot. I really enjoyed writing this four-shot and I'm really glad this didn't become a one-shot, because it probably would've been way too long and I would've canceled it. Also, this also contains another glimpse in the future, set when Future Kaz returns 'home' - it's a bit sad, but I'm sure you'll love it. I truly hope you enjoyed and that you will enjoy this last part. Now, here are the latest reponses to the reviews:

TKDP: Thanks for reviewing! The Destroyer is still Kaz. He may be evil, but he still has his core personality traits. And Titanio had to go. It couldn't have been any other hero for reasons. I have no idea if they have a relationship, that's up for interpretation of the readers.

PurpleNicole531: Well, here it is! I hope I'll still be able to surprise you. Thanks for reviewing!

daphrose: Thanks for reviewing! I didn't like cockroaches ruling the world - too far-fetched for 25 years into the future. Yes, here's more. I really worked hard on the description, just because I didn't want to say "and then I turned into a villain".

Enjoy!

-Writer207


There it was. Logan High school. I hadn't been here in years, and yet I still remembered every tiny detail of it. There agent Blaylock made me do push-ups. I sat on that bench when Gus took my sandwich. These may just be tiny details, but I remembered them. Blaylock shouldn't have made me do push-ups, even if we were at the same side back then. Gus shouldn't have eaten my sandwich; he should've stayed a villain as a punishment.

They didn't want to hurt your feelings and you know it, a small voice inside my head said. Blaylock had no choice and Gus is Gus. I quickly shook those thoughts out of my head. They were a distraction, and with what I was about to do, I needed to stay focused.

I entered the building as I tried to ignore incoming memories, the good and bad ones. I listened carefully, and I heard a noise coming from where the gym must be. I found out there was a game of basketball. Did I care? No. I only cared about getting this school in the black hole.

Then my eyes fell on the several posters on the wall. I have no idea why those drew my attention, but they did. I wasn't in a hurry, and now that I was inside, I could also tear those posters down. I started to rip them apart and almost started to laugh. This was fun! This was so much more fun than watching Oliver tremble in fear.

When I was bsuy for five minutes, I heard two pairs of footsteps behind me. I knew who they were. Nobody would come here at this hour, and everyone was following the basketball game. Nobody would come looking for me, except the two most annoying Normos I've ever met.

"What are you doing?" Oliver asked. I turned around. They didn't seem too afraid. Oh, they would soon know what fear was. I'd make sure of it.

"This place brought me so much misery, that I'm gonna tear down every spirit week and pep rally poster in here." I explained to them. Oh yes, this was one miserable place. it made me use my brain all the time. and that's not everything. No teacher believed that I would graduate. My grades weren't the best either. On top of that, there were lots of girls who didn't know I existed. Pretty girls, of whom one could've been the future Mrs. Gordon. But it's too late for that. Kaz Gordon is dead. Only the Destroyer was left.

"That's it?" Oliver said, surprised that I was only going to rip the posters. Yes, genius, but now I'm also going to shoot the school into a black hole!

"And then send the entire school into a black hole and erase it from the face of the Earth." Yeah, that sounded very good. Man, I'd definitely sleep better knowing this place didn't exist anymore. There'd be still many more schools to destroy in my further evil career.

"We do pause a lot." Kaz noticed. I rolled my eyes. No shit, Sherlock. Off course we do pause a lot, for either a dramatic or comedic effect. Right now, I'd prefer dramatic. I could see how Oliver's face paled by mentioning how I would get rid of the school. Younger me didn't seem to bothered, but it was younger me, after all. He wouldn't really care about school ever.

"You can't destroy the school. There's a basketball game in the gym, there are students here." Oliver tried to convince me why I shouldn't send the school into a black hole. But unfortunately, I hadn't listened to his small speech and I didn't care either.

"I don't care! That's the number 2 trait of being a villain: not caring. I don't care what number 1 is!" I replied, saying that last sentence only to make sure they got that I didn't care.

Then, they tried to stop me. They were truly fools to try. Oliver ran towards me, but with a timed step aside and grabbing his clothes, I pushed him past me, into the lockers. He hit them hard and I felt no regret as Oliver sank through his knees and was knocked out for a while.

Now, it was time to knock me out and drag him out of the building before I destroyed it. That's the only restriction I got: the younger me. If anything were to happen to him, it could cause me damage. As long as he was healthy, I'd live. That didn't mean I didn't want to hurt him. he's still at the god side, but that would change eventually. He'd submit to the Dark Side the same way I did. There was no stopping me.

Kaz tried to punch me. He tried to hit me in my stomach and my head. I easily blocked his three futile attempts to take me down; it was fun watching him try, though. He tried to punch me in the head again, but I grabbed his hand. I twirled him around, putting the arm on his back. I also grabbed the other hand and I then pushed him away from me. I was amazed by the fact how he tried to knock me out. How nice of him!

"You can't beat me! I'm you! I know every move you got!" I taunted him. If he got angry enough, I could easily knock him out and bring him to safety. I'd probably leave Oliver here. The world's better off without him, anyway.

I tried to kick him, but Kaz dodged it. He looked at me. I could guess what he was thinking: well, I know your weaknesses.

"Yeah, I know your every weakness." Off course he'd say that. I predicted it. I knew that he knew which ones were my weaknesses, but it was still a surprise to me what he would do. I eventually made the mistake to make a wrong guess and Kaz could attack me, grabbing my hair while I expected another attack. He took me by my hair, right behind my ears. I didn't like anyone touching my hair, and especially not at that spot. But he did not think I'd attack back. Ha, off course I would. I placed my hands in the exact same spot he grabbed me. He too didn't like the way I had a hold of his hair.

"Watch the hair!" we both yelled at the same time. Kaz was weaker, I was stronger. He couldn't bear this anymore and let go of me. I used this moment to push him away from me and to look intimidating. Hey, if I couldn't physically beat him, I'd make sure he wouldn't dare to attack me.

He moved to his left but I moved to the same side. He then tried to get away at the other side, but I knew how to stop him. He didn't like me blocking his way, I could see how annoyed he was just by looking into his eyes.

He still did took me by surprise. He charged right at me and managed to throw me into the lockers which were behind him just a few seconds ago. If he tried to knock me out just as I knocked out Oliver, he was wrong. I already mentioned that I was stronger, so just being pushed in the lockers won't do it if they really wanted to take me out.

When I was recovered – not to brag, but it happened pretty quickly – one locker door opened. Two hockey sticks fell out of it. There was only one second of thinking needed. With that hockey stick, I would have a big advantage. Kaz thought the same and we both reached for the hockey stick closest to us. We then continued to fight with the hockey sticks, I was winning. I don't wanna brag, but I was a better fighter with weapons and I dared to bet this Kaz had barely used weapons who look like or were the same like these. With much ease, I pressed him against the lockers, of which one of them belonged to a pretty girl who turned me down several times and even reminded me that she would never ever, ever, ever, ever date me, ever without me asking her to be my boyfriend. I paid less to no attention to the fact that Oliver wasn't there anymore.

That was another mistake I made that day. I should've fought Kaz and at the same time wonder where Oliver was and what he was doing. I was too occupied with Kaz, so I only noticed Oliver as he hit me in my back. It hurt, that I must admit. He did a good job confusing me. I still had hold of my hockey stick and I was aware that my computer dropped when Kaz knocked me into the lockers. It could handle a lot.

"Kaz!" that was Oliver. Me and him turned around, and my eyes widened as I noticed what he played at Kaz with a third hockey stick. It was my black hole generator gun! It must've dropped out of my pocket when Oliver hit me in the back. Oliver hit it too hard and sent it flying to a corner. My eyes and Kaz' crossed for a split-second and then we both tried to be the fastest. I chose to run, but Kaz decided he'd slide his way there.

He was faster. He grabbed the gun and pointed it at me. He was now the most dangerous Normo on the planet. Only I (not even younger me) was allowed to use it.

"This thing's fully charged. Stay back or I'll use it!" yes, that's desperation in his voice. And a desperate me is definitely a dangerous me. He needed to give it back or become a villain right away. He threatened everything I stood for. I could not let him wield that powerful weapon, even if it was considered 'just a gun' by many who did not know its power.

"I've seen the future. And we're a villain. Just accept it!" I hoped he would, I really hoped he would. He could not change the future now; we were one, and we were a villain. Past, present, future, all written in stone. It's just waiting for a possible future to come true. Kaz seemed now to have gone from desperate to determined.

"I can't change you, but I can stop you from hurting anyone." My mouth almost fell open when I noticed he actually dared to point the gun at himself.

"What are you doing?" He must've become crazy. That's the only explanation I wanted to give it. He was too desperate to keep up with his sanity and now pointed it at the wrong guy. I almost wanted to yell he had to point it at me – almost – but I kept my mouth shut. I did not want to die. But if younger me was willing to do this, I would be dead anyway. Kaz explained what he was going to do. With those words, he proved to me that he was not insane, but just extremely brave or extremely stupid.

"I'm gonna send myself into a black hole. That way, I won't exist anymore in the present and I won't become a villain in the future." I gotta admit, if I were still good – which, for the record, I am not at all – I would have probably done the same. Yeah, that explains Kaz' behavior. Luckily, I wasn't the only one thinking this was a bad idea.

"Kaz, don't!" Oliver again. He came closer. I had to allow him to come closer, or Kaz might fire the gun and we'd be gone. I really didn't want to die or take risks, even if this was a very big risk.

"Oliver he's threatening to destroy the entire school. You know what's in that gym? Cheerleaders! Really hot cheerleaders, I can't let that happen!" Kaz said. Yeah, off course he'd do it for the pretty girls who would always turn them down whatever he would do to draw their attention. Then, I realized there was no stopping him. He'd do it. Oliver had not convinced him to not do it. I closed my eyes and wished it would be over soon. I heard being thrown into a black hole hurt very much – so much you'd die of pain faster than the lack of air or other factors.

The beeping noise of my computer might have saved my life that day.

"Wait! There's news from the future!" Luckily, Kaz decided to wait to listen to what Oliver had to say about the future. I too was curious – I should've taken my chance. I should've grabbed the gun and destroyed this place.

"President George W. Bug got re-elected. Oh, and Kaz is no longer a villain!" George W. Bug re-elected? Okay, no, that's not the name of our president. His name is Jacob Hyde, and he's more of a dictator than an actual president. Those elections were only held to soothe the Normo population of America. The candidates who ran for president were not as popular as the president with powers, the one who took the seat in the White House by force. The Normo population calls him "George W. Bug", pointing to both old president George W. Bush and the fact that we call the Government insects. Even on social media and in news reports, they use his nickname.

I changed again before I could think too much about Mr. Hyde being re-elected. I took a deep breath when I realized I now no longer wanted to hurt people. I wanted to help them. I lost the cool costume, but I couldn't care less. It was the only think I didn't care about. I did care about all the rest. I was feeling guilty for trying to destroy the school and wanted to apologize for being evil and trying to harm them. eventually, I did not do any of this because they probably already knew I was sorry. Besides, I was a villain, I was supposed to be ruthless.

"I'm not? That is… awesome!" Kaz and I said at the same time. Man, it was good to be back!

"Wait, I don't understand, what changed?" Kaz said. It was not that hard to explain. He wanted to sacrifice himself for the greater good. That changed. Although, I believe Oliver explained it much better with more words.

"Remember this morning I told you everything you do determines what kind of person you become? Well, you're not a villain anymore because you were willing to sacrifice yourself to save others." they really had such a conversation this morning? Wow, I really didn't think they would have a talk about that topic, especially since I used to cheat a lot – video games, tests and other stuff.

"Well, mostly cheerleaders." Kaz confessed. I nodded. Yeah, only because of the cheerleaders. They might have turned him down a couple of times, but if he tried hard, one of them could become the future. Mrs. Gordon. Right now, Kaz had a crush on a girl named 'Sarah'. I don't remember the details, but she did like me a lot before the Government rose.

"Okay, my work is done here." I frowned, "I guess. I was never totally sure what I was supposed to do." That was completely true. Oliver won't turn evil, so my work is done. Now I have no idea what happens next. Titanio said he'd know it when things have changed… oh gosh, Titanio! Was he still alive? Man, I hope he doesn't stay dead. How else am I going to get home? I hid my panic as Kaz came closer to me.

"I'm so glad I got to meet you. Can't wait to grow up to be you." I nodded, and then I asked him for a favor. I asked him to start flossing his teeth. He told me that he wouldn't be able to make any promises. That's so me! Definitely something I would say.

Then, a familiar blue beam appeared. I recognized it as the one that brought me here, to the past, earlier. I looked at the two teenage Normos and I shrugged. "There's my ride." I said nothing else. I was terrible at saying goodbye, so I just preferred to enter without saying goodbye. However, someone stopped me.

"Wait! before you go, I have one question. Now that I'm not a villain in the future, what am I?" Oliver really was too curious sometimes. There were so many things going on right now and too much to take in, so I needed to keep it casual and make sure that I didn't spoiler all the terrible things the future brought with us.

Time to make some stuff up, then.

"I don't know. But it turns out your face is actually on a five dollar bill."

"Cool!"

"Which we use to wipe our butts." Off course we didn't wipe our butts with five dollar bills, no. nobody did that. paper money was precious, we'd never dare to ruin it. This was, again, a first class example of a joke. Oliver, the self-proclaimed "master of mischief", did not know this was not true. He'd find out later, and then he'd know I was only joking. And then my biggest joke, my best masterpiece, has been discovered and they will be able to appreciate it.

"Again with the pauses." Oliver complained, and I stood in the blue beam. Within one second, I was back at the hospital, in the lobby of my temporary home. Nothing seemed to have changed at first. Still half the staff wasn't here, and Horace still was dead and Alan was still presumed dead.

I scanned some 'new' memories. That was the only trouble I had with time travel so far: the memories. When I first went, I was fine. Then I became a villain and there were all kinds of evil twists to my memories. And now, some new ones were created to match this possible future. There was no Destroyer who killed thousands. And that's the only thing that has changed, actually. The Government was still ruling, Jacob Hyde got re-elected and another day of fighting for freedom had begun.

Also, Oliver and I stayed friends. It turned out we never joined the League of Heroes because we wanted to help the staff and Dr. Bridges save as many heroes, villains and (Normo) relatives as possible. Yet, that task wasn't easy with Darkheart almost being everywhere at once, ready to strike and kill us or make us join the side of the Government.

I saw proof that things had indeed changed when Experion and Oliver walked in together, discussing something. I could see that something was bothering them, so I decided to walk closer and join the conversation.

"…had to go," Oliver finished talking, and Experion nodded. I stood next to them.

"Hey guys! What are you talking about?" Experion and Oliver looked at each other and then back at me. I was having a bad feeling about this. "Are you two hiding something from me?" I knew they were spending a lot of time together to discuss Skylar's current health situation, but that was all they talked about together. I had a bad feeling that this was about Skylar Storm.

"It's not Skylar," Experion said, "It's Spotlight. I found him at the edge of the city." I was so glad Skylar was okay, but now I was worried about Spotlight. He may have a silly power, but he really is a nice and loyal person. If we lost someone like him… no, I can't say that. Experion's choice of words suggested that Spotlight fell for Darkheart. We have lost him.

"Dead or alive?" I didn't mention Darkheart, because it was the main enemy controlling everything that happened in the States. I wanted to know – I needed to know. I didn't want to unexpectedly run into him while he's trying to blind me and afterwards kill me.

"Dead. Spotlight's gone." And here we lost another great hero, another good friend, another member of the resistance against Darkheart. There was no time to be sad about it. This happened all the time. All we could do was try to cope and hope that one of us isn't next. Nobody could predict where it showed up, nobody took precaution but the people inside this hospital. And that's quite a lot, seeing as we don't have enough room for all refugees.

"Wanna come with us to see Skylar?" Oliver then asked, to distract me from Spotlight's death. "Just a routine test." I nodded. I could use some distraction right now. Whenever Oliver spent time together with Experion, I'd hang out with Spotlight. I'm gonna miss that.

I smiled. Oliver was a great friend. And probably the only doctor who cared for routine tests on its heroes, villains and even (Normo) relatives. He sacrificed so much for the greater good… sometimes, I wish I could be more like him.

"Show me the way."
