Jasper was looking at Lyra as if she'd gone mad.

'You wanna... go inside his freaking head-? Are you mad?' He said, folding his arms. Lyra sighed. 'I know it's risky... but how else can we get Samyaza out without hurting Carmen? We know it's probably happened!'

Jasper sighed, then waved a hand. 'Fine, do it. But it's dangerous.' his eyes became sincere as he added. 'You could get trapped in there.'

Lyra sighed. 'This is Gabriel. Dad, were talking about. We can't just let him die!' Jaspers face was blank, but then he sighed in defeat.

'Fine.' He raised a hand, dark chocolate eyes resigned. 'Be careful.' He added, then snapped his fingers.

Everything around Lyra went dark.

Inside Gabriel's head, she found nothing. He had closed up, no one could get in, no matter how hard they tried. So, with a groan of frustration, she pulled herself out.

'Well?' Jasper asked as she returned. Lyra sighed and shook her head. 'Nothing. He's more closed up than a...'

She couldn't even find a joke to break the tension.

Her father and sister were going to die... and there was nothing she could do about it...

Then she had an idea. A totally mad and bonkers idea.

'I know how to ask him.' She said to Jasper. He frowned. 'What insane idea now? Hell you take after your Da worse than me!' But on second thought, he knew that wasn't true.

'I'll be back soon.' she said, then steeled herself.

Time traveling wasn't exactly easy...


When Lyra opened her eyes, she found herself in the same room, but it was much more... different in style.

For one, there were no pictures up, no white leather sofa... no scribbles on the wall from Phoenix. Lyra sighed, then walked into the kitchen...

And froze.

Gabriel was leaning against the side, a half eaten doughnut in his hand. He looked up, guilty at being caught... then froze too.

'Oh.' he just said, quickly hiding the doughnut. 'Who are you?' He asked Lyra with a frown. Lyra couldn't help but smirk a little- her dad had never changed.

'I'm Lyra.' She said with a smile. Gabriel blinked. 'You a friend of Sarah's?' Lyra nodded. 'Yup. Just came by to say hi.'

Gabriel grinned. And Lyra knew it well.

Damn why did her dad in the past have to freaking hit on her?

Well, there was only one thing for it...

'Actually Gabe...' she started, and his eyes widened. 'How do you know my name?' He asked suspiciously, standing up straighter.

Lyra groaned. 'I'm... from the future.'

Gabriel's eyes widened further. 'Future-? What are you- an angel?'

Lyra sighed. 'Kinda.' Gabriel frowned, but just then, there were footsteps coming down the stairs, and a much younger Sarah appeared, her hair tousled as if she'd just gotten out of bed.

'Who's this?' She asked Gabriel with a frown. Gabriel stared for another moment, then said. 'She's a friend.' Sarah raised an eyebrow. 'Mmhmm...'

Lyra rolled her eyes- this was freaking ridiculous! She knew from her mothers stories that she knew about who Gabriel was already... so she took a wild stab in the dark and said.

'I'm an angel too.'

Sarah's eyes widened, but she cracked a smile. 'Oh, hello.' then frowned. 'Why are you here?' Lyra sighed. 'I need to talk to Gabriel...' she met his eyes. 'It's kinda important.'

Gabriel sighed, then turned to Sarah. 'Pretty please?' He asked her. She sighed, then turned and walked away.

Then he turned to Lyra.

'Who are you exactly to me?' he asked. Lyra sighed.

'Lets just say we know each other pretty well in the future.' Gabriel continued frowning, but left it there.

'There must be a reason ya traveled to see me...' he grinned. 'Am I still gorgeous in the future?'

Lyra groaned and rolled her eyes.

'Well, in the future, your in hell of a lot of shit.'

Gabriel smirked. 'Girl trouble?' Lyra snarled now. 'For fudge sake! Get a grip! I'm trying to save your ass, and your not helping!'

The renegade rolled his eyes again. 'Whats happened now?' Lyra sighed. 'Samyaza.'

Gabriel's eyes widened. 'Oh crap... what-? How did he get out-?' Lyra's eyes grew sad.

He didn't know who she was... and he couldn't know. Hell, she had to wipe all this from his noggin before she went back.

What if she'd never been born-? Then Phoenix-?

It would be disastrous...


Well! Lyra's gone back to the past! This is gonna be interesting- Gabe and Sarah don't have a clue who she is neither. Hm... what is she planning-? Next update later on! X Nic
