(John Claude Revealed)

*January 1st, 2021*

*8:55pm*

The trio was staring at the computer which contained documents regarding John Claude's plans which gave them a surprise.

"So, this is his TRUE plan eh? That man is going mad if he wants to complete his goals that way eh? But let's just read this madness okay?" Ashley had spoken to Doc as she was met with a nod of agreement from him.

"Okay, Here goes nothing" Doc replied back as he cleared his throat and began to read out John's plans which were displayed on the screen.

"My plans are simply not to kill the Romanovs but rather ALL of the Romanovs that are alive in different timelines. I've discovered many alternate timelines in which either one of them or the whole family had survived their executions so I had to do the right deed and kill the surviving Romanovs in those alternate timelines in hopes of completing my goal in which the Romanovs across time and space are dead but I've discovered that our original timeline has been changed due to DOC! It turns out that Anastasia had survived her execution by the Bolsheviks, So I realize that I now have to travel back in time and finish off my mission from there…" Doc had read as this revelation caught Xavier, and Ashley by surprise as they remained still in the process due to what they just read on the screen.

"So this is his true goal eh? His plan is to kill each alternate version of Anastasia and her family that had somehow survived in each timeline." Xavier had spoken to Doc and Ashley in a serious tone of voice as he had put his hands together and put them over his mouth.

"Correct, We must NOT allow John to complete his goal in the past! The future hasn't officially changed yet but if we continue to dig into who he is then we can and hopefully tell Kaede and the others more about him" Doc had spoken back as he continued to dig deep into John Claude's files in hopes of finding new information.

"Can we just simply bring Anatasia and her siblings into the future? It seems like a possible and logical answer for our current problems?" Ashley had asked Doc as she awaited her answer regarding the situation.

"I've never thought of that. I will keep that in mind! It is possible to bring them right here in 2021 with little issue" Doc answered back with a smile as this made everyone in the room lit up as well.

"You're right! We should talk to Kaede regarding everything once we've figured out who the hell John is okay?" Xavier added on to the conversation as everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

"That sounds like a plan" Doc had spoken back as he continued to look through John Claude's files for anything of importance.

"Do you think that Anastasia and the others would want to go to 2021? It seems that they're quite comfortable with their current year" Xavier had asked Ashley as he turned his direction towards her.

"I think so but I could be wrong as well. I just want the very best for them. They deserve to live their life to the fullest with little to zero worries that's consuming them" Ashley had answered back in a confident tone of voice as this made Xavier smile back warmly at her.

"I wish them the same as well. Let's hope that they can truly enjoy life as we know it" Xavier had spoken back as he gently patted Ashley on her shoulder as they noticed Doc waving at them in a surprised manner which caught their eye.

"W-What's going on? Did you figure out who he was?" Ashley had asked Doc in a shocked tone of voice as she was met with a nod of confirmation from Doc.

"Whoa! Let's hear it! This could be BIG! We need to figure out who he is asap!" Xavier responded back in an excited tone of voice as he and Ashley awaited the news.

"His name is the same as we all know it BUT His true identity is that he was born in the year 1878 to his TRUE parents called John Claude Sr and Muriel Torrance meaning that Jack and Mabel are simply fake people in which he made up…" Doc explained to Xavier and Ashley as this revelation caught them further by surprise.

"So, John is really over 100 years old eh? I kinda had a feeling this was gonna be the case" Xavier had spoken in a surprised yet calm tone of voice as he had taken a few seconds to think about what was transpiring.

"I don't get it? How did he manage to build a time machine in the 1920s? It's gonna be near impossible since there aren't enough resources and stuff" Ashley asked Doc in a confused tone of voice as she continued to think about her question.

"You have a good point right there. I guess that I have to dig deeper into this but it seems that we've figured out who John is but my prediction is that he may have help of sorts but I could be wrong…" Doc had spoken back to Ashley as she nodded her head in understandment.

"I see, Keep doing research okay? We're so close to getting to the bottom of things" Ashley had spoken to Doc as she had gotten up from the couch and proceeded to do some stretches.

"We've figured you out John! Just you wait! Kaede will save this timeline's Romanovs! I'm sure of it! She has gotten so much stronger so I have faith that she'll CRUSH your plans!" Doc thought to himself with a serious look on his face as he continued to do more research on John Claude to fully figure out everything about him.
