Chapter 4-The Finding
Kyle awoke in a wet, freezing DeLorean with him wet and freezing along with it. He saw Jean still passed out beside him and as wet and freezing as he was. He turned to look in the backseat but something very sharp jabbed him in the side right then. He looked down and it was a piece of glass. It turned out there was broken glass all over him, Jean, and the floor.
He threw open the door and very carefully slid out into a very hot outside. It looked like the DeLorean went from the 1985 evil new America, to a barren desert. He also noticed that the windows in the DeLorean were almost gone. All that remained were some jagged pieces connected to the side that was closest to the front of the car. Kyle decided to just check on the human cargo and worry about the rest later.
Kyle carefully brushed all the glass in the DeLorean to the ground while checking the three other passed out time travelers.
"You idiots," he said to the unconscious Jules and Marty in the backseat. "Why did you come back for me? What if we didn't get out?"
"Weee diiiiiiiiid it, diiiiiiiiidn't weeeeee?" a weak voice said.
Kyle jumped at the voice. It turned out it was Jean whom was just waking up in the front. She was wet as well and covered in broken glass.
"Whyyyyyyy am I sooooaked and cooverrrred with shaaaaaarp stuuuufff?" Jean moaned as she opened the door and slipped out into the desert.
"The windows were blown out somehow," Kyle said. "I don't know why the whole inside of the DeLorean is wet, but it might have something to do with that."
Jean just nodded and once her head stopped spinning, decided to ask another question. "Aaare the good and the baaad and ugly still paaaassed ouuut?" Jean asked.
"If you're talking about dad and Jules, yes," Kyle said. "Who's the good, who's the bad, and who's the ugly? And why are you making comments like that anyway?" Kyle started to pull the needles out of Marty and Jules when Jean started talking.
"Jules is the bad and the ugly," Jean said. "You should have heard him, Kyle. He was dissing you and your beliefs and he was blaming you for almost getting us caught there. He said he would leave you behind it the continuum wasn't in danger. I don't get how dad could like his father. Anyone who would raise a kid to make comments like that isn't good enough for dad."
"Jean," Kyle said. "For one thing, you can't judge a father by his kid. Another thing, I don't blame him for being angry at me. He wants to get his family back and he doesn't want anything to jeopardize that." It was then that Kyle put the empty needles in the glove compartment, while finding the needle that was in his arm on the floor. He found Jean's as well while Jean just kept talking.
"How were you supposed to know you'd get arrested," Jean said. "It's not like you did it intentionally. You love your country and you were angry at what that Tannen made it. How can he blame you? Besides, with dad being sick and all you're..."
"Jean," Kyle said quite sternly. "Just drop it. Let's just find out where we are."
"Sorry Kyle," Jean said realizing her mistake. "I know how you don't like talking about... oh gosh. Sorry again. Let's just change the subject. How long do you think they'll be out?"
"A long time," Kyle said in a slight monotone. "The needles that were in their arms were empty, while ours were almost full. We've been out for an hour so who knows how long they'll be out."
"How did you know we've been out for an hour?" Jean asked.
"I turned the time circuits on. They show us the time we got here and the time it is now." Kyle said.
"Oh," Jean said. "So Einstein, where are we?"
Kyle just gave Jean a look and said, "We are in January 31, 1886 just outside of Hill Valley, California."
"Hey," Jean said. "This is where that Doc Brown is living now, or at least I hope so."
"He is," Kyle said. "I'm sure of it."
"Nothing is ever a sure thing, Kyle," Jean said. "What makes you so sure?"
"I have a better question," Kyle said changing the subject. "Why would you care that Doc's here?"
"Look at this car, Kyle," Jean said. She pointed top the indented front that Kyle hadn't noticed before. She was also pointing out the broken windows. "I might not be the best time machine genius in the world, but I know what a banged up car looks like. We need Doc's help to hopefully fix it and definitely to work it."
Kyle agreed and he and Jean proceeded to push the car and find a place to hide it. They found a small cave in an indent in the ground they prayed that there wasn't a bear or worse in the cave. They used blankets to cover Jules and Marty and hoped that the cold water on them and the car would stay cold. After the cover-up, they then started the long walk to 1800s Hill Valley.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
When they reached the actual town, they forgot about the fact that they were still in 2005 clothing. Fortunately luck was on their side and they found some thrown away fabric outside the town. They draped it over the best they could, but they still thought they felt out of place. They still wondered why there were clothes out in the middle of no where.
When they reached they town, they went immediately to asking around to where Emmett Brown was. They were led to what looked like an abandoned barn made into a blacksmith shop. When they entered the barn, it seemed lifeless, but it was full of interesting stuff.
"Whoa," Jean said. "I wonder where he keeps his monster."
"C'mon Jean," Kyle said. "Let's just wait for him to come back. Its still morning. He should be here soon."
"I didn't complain about him not being here," Jean said. "I just said he has some abnormal stuff in here."
"I know," Kyle said. "And every time you get curious in places like this it leads to trouble. So just wait and don't touch anything."
"Okay, thanks for the warning GRANDPA!"
"What are you like 2?"
"I know you are but what am I?"
"Stop it! Both of you!" a deep voice said behind the two.
They turned around and saw a tall guy with white hair in old western clothes. He looked fairly old and quite angry at the moment.
"Are you Doctor Emmett Brown?" Kyle said.
"Yes," Doc said. "Do you two need any... wait a minute. How did you know I was a doctor?"
"You see, Doc," Jean said. "We are Marty McFly's 2005 kids, at least the oldest ones."
"Not the Marty that was in prison when you left," Kyle said. "but a Marty from a different reality. We got caught in this weird America after Griff Tannen hijacked one of your time machines. We come from the world where that doesn't happen."
Doc Brown was speechless. His first thought was that the kids were fooling him, but no one knew about the time machine but Clara, the love of his life. Their explanation was flawless as well.
"Alright," Doc said. "Tell me your story."
Jean and Kyle did just that.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
After the two told their story, they took Doc to the time machine's hiding place. They all pulled it back to the lab that night and Doc examined it by lantern after putting Marty and Jules in a bed.
"How did these needles get in?" Doc asked
"They broke through the windows," Jean said. "They didn't completely break them though. They just made holes."
"You guys are lucky," Doc said. "The temporal dispersal is too much for in complete windows and blew them out. The dispersal also caused there to be cold ice inside the DeLorean which explains the water and temperature inside. I think if I put steel on these holes it won't be a problem."
"Yeah," Jean said. "but what about the front of the car."
"That shouldn't be a problem," Doc said. "I think you can go on three or four trips before it's a problem."
"Alright," Kyle said. "So all we have to do is wait for you to fix the windows, fill up the Mr. Fusion, and then we're off to save history?"
"Yes," Doc said. "It's as simple as that. But until then, I need to get you some clothes, you look ridiculous in those. People are going to think you were raised by Indians. Where did you get those?"
"Get this Doc," Jean laughed. "Ya see, we were walking here and we found these clothes right in the middle of nowhere. As Kyle would say, its providence."
"I'm not so sure about that," Doc said. "Did you find those about a mile outside of town?"
"I guess," Kyle said. "Why?"
"You see," Doc said. "They have told us to stay out of the desert, but they didn't tell us why. But my historical studies let me know why. The town is trying to eliminate Indians, so they are putting out clothing infected with viral pneumonia in the middle of the desert so that they could wipe out the tribes."
"VIRAL PNEUMONIA!!!!!!"
Kyle awoke in a wet, freezing DeLorean with him wet and freezing along with it. He saw Jean still passed out beside him and as wet and freezing as he was.
