Chapter 9

It was the middle of the night, it had been hours since their encounter against the fight junkie, Nnoitra. They were riding in Kevin's car, a little alien for the little Arrancar sitting in the back. It was pretty cold in that cold night. They were heading towards the suburbs. Kevin saw that they were near Mr. Smoothies, but accelerated the pedals to mae sure Nel does not stop him. Only difference was that Nel had no idea why he accelerated nor did she know the taste of a smoothie.

In the suburbs, Kevin dropped Gwen off at her place. Gwen got up and kissed Kevin goodnight. She felt better after that little gross, medical procedure Nel did for her. However it did healed so couldn't about that. Kevin had trouble to let go of that memory of her throwing up on him. But at least he's healed. He waved Gwen goodbye and departed.

He then makes a turn for the Tennyson house. He parked by the mailbox and shook Nel to wake her up. Nel yawned and wiped her eyes.

"What? Are we here already?" she asked.

"Home, kiddo," said Kevin, "And a side note, thanks."

"Your welcome," Nel said with a smile.

However there was just one thing that made Kevin a little curious.

"Say, how'd that creep know you anyway?" he asked.

Nel was afraid that a question like that would be asked. If she answered it straight on, plus add a little back story, it'll cause both doubt and fear, but if she doesn't answer it, suspicion would arise. She only knew this guy for only one day. She had to think quickly, his patience was already thin.

"A childhood enemy of mine," she said.

Kevin shrugged it at that. Maybe it was because there were a lot of people from her "past" that bullied her. Nel got out of the car and kissed Kevin goodnight. Kevin chuckled and drove off, leaving Nel in front of "her house".

Inside the living room, Nel was out by the door. She closed it and noticed that the living room was eerily dark.

"Hello?" Nel called quietly, unaware that someone or something might be in the house. It was suspiciously quiet - minus a few exceptions such as the crickets cricketing through the night, add by a faint hoot from a distant owl. The only light that shone the living room was the moonlight from outside and the faint, mild green light from the watch.

"Is anyone here?" Nel called.

"Yes, there's certainly is, Nel," said an unknown, British voice.

Suddenly, a lamp cut on from behind Nel. Nel turned around and saw a man wearing a clean white, lab coat, a pair of khaki pants, classy black shoes, and goggles on his head. He had a friendly expression on his face, a face that made Nel nervous.

"Who-who are you?" she asked, readying her watch.

The man chuckled, "I don't know. I was afraid that you could tell me. My mind washed away my earlier memories long ago, well for the pass tens of thousand years I might add," he said.

Nel nodded her head in confusion. "Huh?"

"Oh, allow me to introduce myself," he said, "My name Paradox, Professor Paradox," said the man named Paradox, "Gumball?" He offered Nel a gumball.

Nel didn't move. She didn't trust this man one bit. Why would anyone trust anyone who popped out of nowhere?

"No thank you," she said.

Paradox put the gum away. "Well, you might have some questions, tons right?"

Nel nodded.

"And I believe the first question was, 'How do I know your name?'" he added.

Nel responded again with a simple nod. Not that she was surprised, she just got used to people calling her by her name without knowing anyone on this world.

"Well, to make the long story short, I'm a time walker. I walk through time and space - with reason," he said.

"You mean you literally walk through time? How can anyone walk through time? It's impossible!" Nel said.

"Not as impossible as a species from out of this world who could make a machine that could temporarily manipulate your genes and morph into the creatures you select with a push of a button am I right?" Paradox went on.

Nel was lost.

"Thought so," he chuckled.

"So why is Nel here?" Nel asked.

"I'm glad you asked," said the Professor.

And then so the long journey for answers began.


Author's Notes:

I know it was been a while since the last update! I was on writer's block for this and I needed to think of a good chapter that could top the last. So ofcourse it had to take some time for me to come up with this chapter onto how it was going to play out. Also, I took the advice from my last reviewer, so thank you for the person who last reviewed it!

There will be more chapters soon. Come back soon and always leave reviews, they are always appreciated. And until we meet again, I bid you all an adieu and...

Peace!
