"Hey hold up a minute Sketch," said Alec digging through his pocket for his cell phone.
"Hey?" he said.
"Get Original Cindy and head over to Joshua's NOW!"
"Well hello to you too Maxie," Alec said smoothly.
"Don't make me come over there and kick your ass!"
"You know I just realized how many times you talk about my ass."
"Shut up Alec, this is serious," said Max, "I was just attacked by something that looked human, took a bullet to the head and didn't even flinch, not only that but her fingers turned into claws and she said she was from the future stop me from doing something in two years now get your ASS and OC over here NOW!"
"Max?" asked Alec, "hung up."

"He's an idiot," said Max throwing Logan's phone at him.
"Hey not so hard," he said barely catching it before it hit the ground.
"Rachel and Jesse?" asked Max.
"Yeah," said Rachel.
"You're not going to tell us anything until they get here right?"
"You got it."
Max sighed as she looked at the two kids and took them in. Rachel the girl was a little taller than she was; she had curly brown hair a little past her shoulders and deep brown eyes. Jesse, he was tall, about Logan's height with spiky blonde hair, it was a dye she now saw, and a bit of his roots were showing. He wore a pair of glasses on top of his head, and as she looked at him a bit closer; furrowing her brow…he looked a bit like Logan…
"Max? Max? Max!" said Logan snapping her out it.
"Yeah what?" she said sneaking one last look at Jesse.
"There here," he said looking out the window.
The door opened and Alec, Original Cindy, and…Asha came walking through.
"Asha? What are you doing here?" asked Logan.
"I was paged by someone," she said, "I met up with these two just now."
"Who?" started Logan.
"That would be me," said Jesse holding up his cell phone, "I paged you."
"Do you know him?" Max asked Asha.
"No, do you? What's this about?"
"I think that's what we all want to know," said Logan turning to Jesse and Rachel.
"What's with the kids?" asked Alec.
"Shut up," said Max.
"I think you all should sit down," said Rachel, "you're not going to believe us."
"Try me," said Max.
A few minutes later when everyone was seated, Rachel began:
"I'm going to ask you to save all you're comments until I'm done, it'll be a lot easier," she said. Heads nodded in agreement.
"My name is Rachel and this is Jesse, the two that attacked you were Koiohla and her twin Mezsima. They're X38's and right now in 2022 there are so far only up to the X9 series with Tinga's son, Case. We're from the future. You're future. 2043, which is about 21 years from now. Koiohla and Mezsima are Familiar/Manticore Hybrids designed by Cerberus, Maticore's Canadian branch. You don't find out about them until 2040. They were designed solely for this mission, to come back here and kill….my mother. To prevent my birth. And by telling you this in this time, I could be killing myself."
"You're from the future?" asked Alec, Rachel
"Yeah," said Rachel.
"They tried to kill me," said Max looking at her.
"And they'll keep trying," she said, "because I'm your daughter."
"Omigod," Max whispered.
Max's daughter? Why would she name her child after, well I guess she could just like the name but…still… thought Alec.
"They want to stop your birth?" asked Logan, "why?"
"I can't tell you without going into things you shouldn't know yet."
"What do you mean shouldn't know yet?" asked Max recovering, "I have a daughter?"
"How do we know you two ain't some flipped up Manticore spies?" asked Original Cindy.
"Take a blood test then, you're going to go see Carr about the antivirus," said Rachel, "You have got to believe us."
"Where do you fit into all this?" Asha asked Jesse.
"I'm the back-up,"
"How do you know all this about us?"
"Come on do you really think our parents would send us off without any knowledge of what's happening right now?" asked Rachel, "my favourite stories were always about your adventures, saving the world and all."
"How do we kill them?" asked Max, "and how could she have been shot and not effected?"
"These two are weapons not only are they flesh and blood but they're also sort of like machines. When they were designed they had metal plates grafted to their bones. They're bio weapons and what you saw, those women that was not their true shape. The claws she released were part of the transformation."
"Into what?" she asked.
"We don't know but I hear it's ugly, Jesse cracked the Manticore mainframe a few years back, we got tons of information all about the transgens, anomalies, breeding programs you name it, we've got it."
"You're a hacker?" Logan asked Jesse, "how old are you?"
"Seventeen."
"What about you?" Max asked Rachel.
"Nineteen."
"You'll be born in two years."
"I might be born in two years," said Rachel, "there's still a chance that Jesse and me coming here will cause more damage than the X38's, by coming here, I could prevent my own birth by telling you everything that's going to happen. That's why we can't tell you any more of you're future."

Ames White was sitting at a desk in his warehouse; he had sent some of his men to search for his son, Ray. Did he die? Is he okay? White had to know, Ray was his only son. He tilted back in his chair and covered his face with his hands, sighing heavily into them. Damn 452 he thought. The sound of footsteps pulled him out of his thoughts as he saw three people walk towards him.
"Ames White?" asked one of the women.
"Who wants to know?" he asked looking from her to her twin. The third member of their party was hidden in the shadows.
"This is Koiohla and Meszima," said the man stepping out of the shadows. He was tall and had sandy blonde hair, "we're here about 452."
"Who are you?"
The man lifted up his sleeve revealing the mark that all Familiars had on his arm.
"For my father before me, for my sons," he said. White repeated the same thing back to him.
"Where do I know you from?" asked White stepping closer to the man and looking at him more closely, "Ray?"
