Author's Notes: This is a short drabble about "what if Sam leaps into John Crighton" Hope u enjoy this:)
Summary: Sam leaps into John during a very interesting time.
Theorizing that one could travel through time Dr Samuel Beckett stepped into the Quantum accelerator and vanished…
The blue light faded.
Sam found himself in a large bay of some sort that was in ruins with billowing smoke coming from all around him. He was holding two packages of some kind. He could just see over the top of them. They were quite heavy.
He noticed a shadow; a several metres in front of him get darker. The shadow continued to get closer until it took on a large hulking humanoid form with a well rounded head that looked more like a dome than a head. It passed through the shadows and out into the light.
Sam gasped. The being in front of him was definitely not human.
It was a large humanoid with green leathery slimy scaly skin. It reminded Sam of a large overgrown toad. The toad also had an intelligent look in its eye. One that was looking Sam over as if deciding that perhaps the toad-like being had found its next meal.
Before Sam could even react to this creature's appearance, he was roughly pushed aside. Sam lost his balance and fell to the floor; his packages flew across the floor away from him.
Standing over him was a beautiful raven-haired woman dressed in black slacks, a white t-shirt that was drenched in sweat and black gloves.
She was toting a the mother-of-all bazookas by a shoulder strap.
It was a black futuristic viscous looking weapon, which thankfully was not pointed at Sam.
Well thank god for small favors, was Sam's only coherent thought.
The woman spared Sam a quick look before turning to face the toad.
The toad looked at the woman and opened its mouth.
Sam scrambled for cover. He found refuge behind some metal bins.
The toad had spat a fireball at them.
The woman dodged it, raised her weapon, and fired.
Sam's jaw dropped.
The bazooka had fired some sort of energy pulse at the toad.
But that wasn't what shocked Sam.
The toad had only staggered back a couple steps when hit with the energy pulse.
The woman fired again. This time it was more effective.
The toad exploded in a massive explosion, showering him and the woman with body pieces, each piece was the size of a small rock.
The woman endured the shower without even blinking as if this was a regular occurrence.
She turned to Sam and started talking gibberish at Sam.
"What?"
The woman looked at him with an exasperated expression on her face. She sighed, "Gibberish …John Crighton…Gibberish," then slung her bazooka over her shoulder and walked away shaking her head and muttering to herself, as if nothing had happened. As if she had not just blown up a tall humanoid toad that had happened to explode and shower them with body parts.
Sam's mind was overwhelmed and had not caught up and registered all the things that had happened. He stood there looking back and forth between the spot the toad had inhabited and the direction the woman had gone. This went on as Sam considered all that had occurred.
A thought struck him. The woman had called him JOHN CRIGHTON!
As in John Crighton, the astronaut that had been lost in Earth orbit a few years earlier.
Sam couldn't take it anymore, "Oh, boy…"
