Final Chapter!
Hope you enjoy!
Alli woke up that morning as herself which meant she was in another room. She laid there enjoying the fact that her hair was short again and her vision blurry. Then she remembered Christina had slept with her mother again, which meant Myka was next to her.
"Well this is weird" she muttered getting up.
Looking over at the clock she saw it was seven am. Myka was usually up at 6:30. She was confused for a moment before she realized, different room- different alarm.
"Myka" she whispered nudging her a little.
"Hmmm" Myka moaned rolling over.
"It's 7" Alli said, and Myka sat up quickly.
"Why didn't you wake me!"
"I just woke up" Alli defended.
"Sorry... I'm just-" Myka began standing up.
"Schedule OCD"
Myka shot her a glare and headed for the door. Alli grabbed her glasses and followed.
"What do you mean Mykes and Claudia won't remember!" Pete complained walking in the kitchen.
"And Alli" Christina reminded him.
"But she was fun!"
"I'm sorry Pete, but in this new time line... - she's not supposed to know about the warehouse yet "
"Yet?"
Christina's eyes went wide "I meant-"
"Oh no- ya can't go back on it now kid too late"
"I only meant that-"
"Nope" Pete said, "so what is it, she going to be an agent, or a regent or a-"
"I'm not discussing this" Christina stated walking away towards the table.
"Discussing what?" Lenna asked walking in.
"Alli's going to be an agent!" Pete said excitedly.
"What?"
"Well not now" Pete revised.
"What are you talking about"
"And she may not be an agent...but she is going to know about the warehouse"
Lenna shook her head "Pete your not making any sense"
Pete was about explain when he caught Christina's eye. She gave him the wonderful talk-and-ill-hurt-you glare she had inherited from her mother. Then grabbed the glass of water she'd left on the counter.
"Nevermind" he said quickly heading for the table, leaving a confused Lenna.
Everyone including Artie and were standing in the living room. They were saying their goodbyes to Alli, having discussions of recent events...about what you'd expect from the final moments of an event about to be removed from time.
"Ok, enough" Mrs. Fredric finally announced "Lets please finish this before the search party makes its way here"
"Search party?" Steve asked.
"Has nobody been watching the news" Artie grunted, gesturing towards Alli , "That child is still considered missing!"
"Miss Wells?" Mrs. Fredric said.
Christina, knowing it was time, took a deep breath and began giving instructions. "First you must all grab each others hands, except Myka, Claudia and Alli of course."
They awkwardly all joined hands, with a get-it-over-with anticipation.
"Next?" Mrs. Fredric asked, cooly.
"I'm not actually sure, I guess hold tight?" Christina shrugged.
Giving her a strange look they did just that.
"I'm not going to turn into a lizard or anything right cause the Petester don't do scales."
"Honestly" Helena sighed
"What in the world would possess you to say that out loud, much less think of such a ridiculous notion in the first place." Christina exasperated.
"This is Pete" Helena reminded her.
"I am just looking out for our well-being" Pete defended "Im sure I'm not the only one worried about not coming out the same"
"I second that" Steve piped in "I mean how safe is this?"
Christina just stared at him wide eyes for a moment, "You know if nobody wants to do this, by all means I'd actually prefer it that way"
"Wait we have a choice?" Pete asked.
"No, Pete" Artie stated."This is not a choice this is an order now everyone just shush and let's do this"
"Miss Wells proceed" Mrs. Fredric ordered, calmly.
Christina closed her eyes without another word. Suddenly the room began to change. People walking in and out backwards and quickly, as the clock began to turn back. Even Mrs. Fredric was taken back at the unnaturalness of the situation. As soon as they came to the beginning of the event, everything started to move forward. All of them were soon hit with a wave of remembrance as time was rewritten before their eyes. Then, towards what they some how knew was the end, involuntarily they were separated each of them going to where they should be at this point in the new time line. All of this happening in what felt like seconds.
Christina opened her eyes, her mind still in the fog.
"...then you just type in that code here before pressing the...Hey Christina?" Claudia slowed down. "You ok"
Christina looked over at her, remembering that Claudia was giving her a hacking lesson"What...O yes of course just a dizzy spell, right as rain now please - continue."
"Ok..." The techie trailed off before focusing back in the computer, "Anyway you press this key..."
Helena found her self in the library helping Myka organize the seemingly endless shelfs of literature.
"You'd think in 97 years-" Myka began frustrated.
"98" Helena corrected instinctively, still a little confused as to what was going on.
Myka shot her a look then continued" Fine- you'd think in 98 years someone would have had the decency to get this room in order"
Helena smirked as it all came back, "Well darling not everyone has your wonderful passion for organization"
"Obviously! I mean look at this they're just sitting on the floor!" She ranted, "These are first editions!"
Helena smiled nothing makes Myka angrier than mistreated books. Her smile faded as she realized there was something she felt the need to check on .
"...Seriously look at this, it's at least 200 years old and it's just sitting floor, which by the way someone neglected to clean-"
"Myka-" Helena said, setting down the book in her hand.
"There is no respect, what with digital books, audio books.."
"Myka-" Helena tried again.
"Kindles, nooks..."
"I need to go-"
"There are library's, and bookstores people!"
Helena just gave up and went to find Christina.
Lenna was put in the kitchen, a pan of cookies in her hand. Immediately setting them down, she walked for the living room. Pete and Steve were sitting on the couch T.V on, but at the moment they obviously weren't watching.
"That was awesome" Pete exclaimed holding up his hand for Steve for a high-five.
Steve returned it with a wide grin "Turns out resurrection is not the coolest thing in the world"
"I second that" Lenna cut in, gracefully" by the way I apparently made cookies"
"Yes!" Both the boys exclaimed getting to their feet.
"Christina?" Helena called walking into Artie's office.
Looking over she saw her on the couch reading. Her lesson with Claudia had ended 10 min ago when the red-head heard something about cookies.
Helena quickly walked over and pulled her daughter into a bone crushing hug with no intent of letting her go.
Christina froze for a moment before lightly returning the gesture with a confused look "...Its nice to see you too?"
Helena chuckled and pulled her closer.
"Mother... Your frightening me" Christina warned.
HG pulled back slightly to softly grab the girls chin "Don't be ridiculous love, can a mother not simply be happy to see her daughter."
Christina smiled and replied sarcastically. "I'll have to think that over"
"Helena!" A voice shouted followed by its owner, who stomped in annoyed.
The person stopped however at the scene "Ok what I miss" Myka sighed knowing something was up.
"Absolutely nothing Miss Bering, can a mother not simply be happy to see her daughter" Christina repeated, earning another laugh from Helena.
"Oh don't even, I know that tone of voice- you two share that tone- what are you hiding" Myka demanded crossing her arms.
"Honestly Myka" HG sighed, playfully. Unwrapping herself from around Christina, she crossed her arms, mimicking Myka. "What on earth could we possibly be doing"
"Oh I dont know, let's go ask the time machine in the HG Wells aisle and the teleporter sitting in mini-HG Wells pocket."
"Is there no faith" Christina mused, putting a bookmarking her page.
"You just learn to live with it" Helena sighed to her daughter.
Myka stared at the two of them face twisted as she thought the situation through still annoyed. As soon as she opened her mouth to question more shouting came echoing throughout the office.
Arite came down the stairs, and looked straight at Christina "You!"
"Me?" Christina asked.
"Yes you! You did that on purpose, sent me right to the moment where I'd spill coffee all over myself" Aritie yelled, gesturing to his stained shirt.
"Please-"Christina began waving it off.
"Oh don't 'Please' me-"
"Artie!" Helena snapped, he looked over at her as she quickly shot her glance to Myka.
"Oh,oops" He said shortly.
"What is going on!" Myka asked, Artie stared back unable to move trying to decide on the words. The Wells however kept their incredible shared poker face.
"Don't worry yourself, darling..." Helena began sincere.
"Yes it's nothing worth further questioning" Christina finished.
"Don't you have inventory to be doing" Artie commanded finally, playing his signature card.
Myka opened her mouth to respond but Artie cut her off again.
"Go!"
And with that Myka left vowing that she would find out.
Everyone sat at the dinner table, talking as usual.
Half of them were frustrated with the whole secret information, while Myka and Claudia just wondered what was up with the rest of their team.
The doorbell rang cutting off Claudia's amazing story.
Lenna murmured an "Ill get it" and headed for the door.
She pulled it open with out pause, but who she saw had her at a loss for words.
"Christina?" She asked staring, sure enough it was Christina, a bag in her hand and dark hair running down her back.
"Hello Lenna"
Lenna didn't move, as she stumbled for words, "but your - I was just - you were just"
"Lenna who is it!" Pete shouted getting curious.
Soon everyone was at the door, wide eyed. Except the Christina's.
The girl at the door, looked at the girl in the house with we need to talk look. Christina nodded understanding completely. "My room"
The other Christina just nodded and walked in.
The rest of them just stood there, mouths open.
"So Chris has a twin!" Pete shouted.
"Sweet!" Claudia exclaimed.
"She does not have a twin" Helena said still shocked.
"How do you know!" Pete asked.
Everyone just looked at him with a "really" face.
The Christina's kinda just watched from the stair case for a moment at the rapid discussion, no one even paying attention to them.
The New Christina, rolled her eyes and raised a hand. Suddenly everything stopped.
The other Christina smiled "O my, when do we learn how to freeze time?"
"You know I can't tell you" the future Christina said.
"Always worth questioning" present Christina sighed following herself to their room.
They both walked in and sat on the bed.
"I'm assuming you have something to tell me"
"Of course I do" the other girl exclaimed, opening the bag.
"Alright this is an artifact so do be careful, it lets the user jump to a parallel universe" she explained "now don't ask me where it was created I haven't figured it out yet."
"Right"
"Someone used it recently, you must follow them to this place" Christina said handing the other one a slip of paper with some coordinates"
"And what is located there"
"Can't tell you- you'll need to leave in a week" Christina continued "Here is your instructions, do not open them until your there."
Christina nodded taking the artifact and instructions.
"Also you must watch all of these" she added handing Christina 5 DVD cases.
"I can do that"
"I know, now have fun" and with that the girl raised her hand and the talking started up again. Future Christina closed her eyes and was gone. Leaving the present Christina to explain, all she was allowed that is, to the others.
Please! Review and make suggestions!
