by Nyboul

Hello my name is Elizabeth Merrick. My father left my mother when i was little and she married again to a Vikor. He forces me to call him Father even thou i really do not wish to. My mother is rich and an inventor, Viktor has a weird thing on his face ( had to put that on in there ) and this is my story. /story/21898691-breaking-away

11. Time Hopping

Bree, Adam, Chase, and I were dressed in our mission suits when Mr.D walked in. " Your mission supplies are packed, the schematics are loaded into Chase's and Elizabeth's chips, and your transport is on the way. Did i forget anything?" He said. " Nope, we'll just have to guess what the mission is and see how it all happens." I said." A particle coilder is a three-mile long underground place where scientists-" Mr.D began but I cut him off." Race subatomic particles at light speed for energy experiments. " " So cool!" Chase said. " I know." Mr.D said," There is a particle coilder in Berkeley that is accelerating out of control and your mission is to shut it down." " Awesome!" I said and Adam agreed." I hope one of us knows how to do that." He said and I looked at him weird. " We have to act quickly. The scientists that operate the facility, s'uuse me-" Mr.D said moving Leo from where he was," Have already evacuated the control centrer and if we don't shut it down on time, it will create a massive black hole that will implode the entire planet." We all nodded. " Today?" Leo asked," No. That's not gonna work. Today is Shelby Evans' birthday and her mum makes the best cupcakes!" All of us gave him a ' so what?' look. " I'm just saying that woman does not skimp those sprinkles. " He said. " Dont't worry. You will get your cupcakes. Adam, Bree, Chase, and Elizabeth have all the training they need to shut it down." Mr.D said. " I don't know Big D. I think those guys are gonna need some.. Backup!" He said striking a heroic pose." That's why your going to be, backup, here with me in the lab." Mr.D said. " He said backup and you said backup. Saying things twice makes it funny. Oh! Saying things twice makes it fun-" " Stop it!" Me and Mr.D said then a bright thing came into the round and landed on the floor and we all started screaming when we saw a man who looked like a future Leo , Adam jumped into Bree's arms and I hide behind Chase peeking out around his shoulder." Nobody panic! Probably just the cable guy.. " Mr.D said. " Come on Big D, we just came from seven years in the future." The guy said. "Your time machine actual worked!" The man said. " It's us! Leo!" The guy, future Leo, said. " Thanks for the t-" " Whoa.. the cable people have the same name as you!" Adam said. " Wait.. if your really me then you'd know the handshake i came up with in case i ever became a spy." Leo said. " Requesting authentication Double-O Leo." Future him said and they did this weird thing. " It really is me!" Leo said jumping up and down. " So you two are the future version of these two?" Mr.D asked and they both nodded. " Do you what this means? I cracked time travel!" He said and started singing " I cracked time travel. I cracked time travel!" then walked over to them. " Do me a favour, when I see you in seven years can you remind me to tell me how awesome i am?" Both Leo and Future Leo said." I'm sure you wont forget. Hey! You just said what i said! Technically, I just said what I said. OK, your gonna have to stop that. Stop. Stop. Stop!" Future Leo put his hand over Leo's mouth. He saw them," It's so good to see you guys." Future Leo said hugging us. " It's good to see you to.." I said," Older yet similar Leo." We pushed him off. " So uh.. what did time travel feel like? Did your body mass increase exponentially as you came toward light speed?" Mr.D asked. " I pushed a button, felt a lot of wind, there was a big flash. But yeah. Mass and speed stuff." He said. " So if your from the future then what colour are my eyes?" Adam asked and i face-palmed. " Ignore him. Come on, future Leo, Let's jump to 2025 and see what people are wearing. I want to start now and be a trend setter!" Bree said." Sorry, it took Big D years to scrap together enough zonal fuel for me to come here once and then go back. " Future Leo said." if I end up wearing mum jeans and hair scrunches you are gonna get back in that thing and fix it." Mr.D's phone buzzed " The coilder mission! You guys have to get ready! Head to the equipment room and gear up." He said moving us towards the room. " Nice meeting you!" Me and Bree called. " Congrats on growing out of your awkward stage!" Adam said and we left to get ready. We were packing our bags when Adam ran out of the room and I just watched him leave then started packing again." Done!" I said smiling." I wonder what the mission will be like?" I asked them sitting on the table. " Fun?" Bree guessed."No dip Sherlock." I said rolling my eyes. " Hey you asked!" She said. " Here's another question. Why did Future Leo show up right now? Couldn't he have chosen another day? But why did he choose this day.. they one we go one a mission." I said/ asked. " Maybe he wanted to see our success again." Bree said." Or maybe something bad happens on the mission..." I said and shook my head, by now Adam had came back and had finished packing. " Lets go upstairs.." I said trying get rid of the feeling I was right. We headed up the lift and came out." Good to go ." Chase said," We'll check in once we reach delta point." " No! I-I mean the mission's off." Mr.D said. " But you said it was urgent." Adam said. "I'm sending an automated rover that can shut it down via remote." Mr.D said coughing at the end," As soon as I build it." " An automated rover? You might as well send a handbag on a skateboard. The four of us can handle it." Chase said." No! I Said No And I Mean It. My decision is final now just... everybody go get ready for school." He said and we all walked into the lift and went down. " It's like he doubts us." I said frowning sadly.

-Later-

We walked into the lab." So it's still not mission ready! Why won't you just let us go!" I said. " No, no that won't be necessary. I just need to buy a few things... from NASA... They're having a sale. Everything's a million off. I'll be gone a couple of hours, Leo, your in charge." Mr.D said." You got it Big D." They both said." Future Leo!" Mr.D said then walked out of the lab." He think's this mission is to big for us!" Adam said." It's not that he thinks it's to big for you-" Leo started and Future Leo interrupted." Leo, we promised." " I guess Davenport lost confidence in us." I said. " Or he lost confidence in you three. " Chase said and I raised an eyebrow." What's that supposed to mean?" Bree asked." Yeah. I'm the one always carrying you guys around. Your the weakest links." " Hey! I have all three of your bionics!" I put in crossing my arms. We all started arguing when Leo interrupted us." Guys! Guys! Enough! Future Me came here to warm Davenport not to let you go on the mission because you dont come back. " Leo said. " God! I never listen to myself!" Future Leo said. " Don't come back?" Adam said. " Wow." I said. " I guess we're.. not invincible." Bree said." It all makes sense now. This is why forbade us to go. " Chase said. " Nice going." Future Leo said. " I had to tell them. Davenport didn't want to undermine their confidence which is exactly what he did by not telling them. " Leo said and I smiled. Future Leo shook his head," Dont you shake my head at me." Leo said.

_Later_

" Are you sure we should be doing this? I asked. " Of course, even if we might not come back I will take that risk to save the world." Bree said. We were writing a note saying that we were leaving. When we were done we put it on the door and left.

-When we get there-

We ran through the tube and saw the place with the alarms ringing. " It's redlining! Adam, burst open the control panel!" Chase and Adam ran to open it. We stepped inside and Chase started telling us what to do." Bree, run to the collider and use your super-speed to create a vacuum to slow that thing down. " " Oh sure, give the girl the vaccuming job!" She said." Would you just go!" I said and stopped by a control next to Chase. In a second she came back."Done." She said." Great." Chase said. " So i guess this is it." Bree said. " Yeah, let's not talk about it." I said walking over to Bree." You know what i just realised, I'm never gonna wear white and walk down the aisle." Bree said." Me neither..." I said. " Aw.. you guys wanted to work at the movie theatre too?" Adam asked." Yeah I'll never get to be the first president of a self-sufficient underwater colony. So long, Chaselantis." Chase said. " We were a good team while it lasted guys." I said and we had a group hug." Yeah. Thanks for always being there." Chase said." Course." Adam said. " You to." Bree and I said. We walked back to where we were." Hey, can you hand me the voltmeter?" I asked. " Get it yourself." Adam said. " I'm busy over here!" Bree said. " Rude." I muttered. We went over to another panel." It isn't working!" I said. " Nothing is working! We're running out of time!" Chase said. " Well what are we going to do?!" I asked. " I'm going to have to fry the control panel with my force field. It's our last chance to shut things down." He said and walked in front of it and I went behind him. " Adam, rip out those wires and get out of the way. Hurry!" He said. " I love ripping things out!" Adam said and ripping them out then moved behind me. Chase threw his force field at the control panel and we shut it down. " Yes! We did it! We shut down the collider!" I said and we group hugged. The rover came." Adam? Bree? Chase? Elizabeth?" It said." Dude, Davenport turned into a wheelie robot." Adam said and I gave him a look. " I'm mointering you remotely via the rover, are you guys doing there? " He said. " Leo, told us what happened but you designed us to save the world so we had to come." I said. Leo then showed up." Guys!" " What's Leo doing there?!" Mr.D exclaimed. " Did you shut down the collider?!" Leo asked." Yeah, we just finished. " Chase said. " Then get out of there fast!" Leo said. " The room is about to collapse!" Future Leo said. " What?" We asked not hearing him. Leo ran into the three but missed me and then the room collapsed on us. A pole thing landed on my stomach and I passed out.

-3rd person-

Adam started digging the rubble off the two and then found Leo. " Leo!" Bree said," Where is Elizabeth?!" Adam continued to dig and then took a rock off her face. " The pole is on her stomach!" Chase said and Adam then moved it to the side, Bree pulled Elizabeth out of the rubble. " I-Is she dead?" She asked putting her down. Future Leo ran over and felt for a pulse and the rover came closer to. " Elizabeth!" called. The pulse was detectable and steady," She is just passed out." Future Leo breathed. " Next time, when i say get out. Get out!" Leo said. Chase picked Elizabeth up and then walked out followed by the others just as the door was sealing.

_When they got back_

Chase carried her back to the lab and put her down on the table. " Is she ok?!" asked and leaned over her. " She is just passed out she should just wake up an-" Future Leo said getting cut off by a groan.

-Back to Elizabeth's POV-

I groaned and had a terrible headache when I blinked open my eyes. " Why is it so bright.." I groaned and was hugged by a lot of people. " Dude... Your all hurting me.." I muttered trying not to be so loud." Sorry!" Adam said and they let go. " It's ok.." I said. " What were you thinking?" asked us. Then looked at the Leo's. " And you, are grounded until.. you become you.." He said. " Look Big D. I know you were worried but it all worked out." Future Leo said. " Yeah, cause you know. Passing out is working out." I joked with a smile. " Well i- I mean we, changed the course of the mission and saved them all." Future Leo said. " I think he is trying to say is, if they saved the world and I saved them then I saved the world!" Leo said. " Still grounded, by the way Janelle stopped by earlier.. she seemed alittle upset." Mr.D said. Future Leo pulled out his phone and the picture of him and Janelle changed to him and his dog. " I end up alone with a dog!" Leo said. " You better fix this!" Future Leo said, "I'm not walking down the aisle with that!" " Dont be silly you cant bring dogs to the movies." Adam said. " Well now that you guys are safe, guess i should get back to the future." He said. " Curtsey of me. I did that.I would just like to remind everybody that i cracked time travel. That was me." Mr.D said. " Thanks for coming back for us." I said. " And for helping save our lives." Chase said. " Yeah, for showing us that time is precious." Bree said." So if we're gonna make fun of Leo's height, we gotta do it now." Adam said then got slapped in the stomach by Leo. "Stay smooth." Leo said. " Only if you do." Future Leo said and got into the time machine." Enjoy the next seven years man. They go by in a blink of an eye. " He said and left. " Wow." Leo said choking up," I miss me already." I laughed then put my arm on my neck. " Ow.." I groaned.
