Clara was awakened in the night by the clanging of metal objects. She looked next to her to find the left side of the bed empty. Still trying to wake herself up she turned to face the rest of the house/garage. Doc was carefully fiddling with a wire and a pair of pliers. Confused she above him to see a brand new Delorean.

"Emmett!" Doc turned around, startled. "Oh, Clara did I wake you?"

"You woke Marty!" She was immediately ashamed. "I didn't mean-. You were loud is what I meant."

Doc ignored her and continued with his work. Clara walked over to him.

"Emmett where'd you get that?" "Some dealer across town was giving them away real cheap."

"What are you going to do with it," she asked terrified of the answer. Doc looked at her, do you have to ask? "Oh, no. Emmett, you can't it's too dangerous."

"You don't have to tell me that. But I don't care, I can't let Marty end up like this."

"It's too late!" She needed him to see his foolishness. "He's dead."

"Not for long. I can just go back and stop him from trying to save me, somehow save myself then we'll both get out of there and…every thing will be fine."

"No it won't. So much could go wrong. Listen to me, I know you miss him and I know you blame yourself but you just have to start dealing with it, not try and find ways to change it. That's the normal, healthy way that people deal with grief."

Doc dropped the wire and stared her right in the face. "What about the Mcfly's? Linda? Dave? Jennifer? Should they just have to "deal with it"? Something that would never have happened if it weren't for me." The chilling memory was coming back to Doc now.

"Emmett—."

"I saw his face and he was so scared. He was… He was the best kid I ever knew. He didn't deserve it, he wasn't ready. I can't let this wrong go unfixed."

Clara could her the confused pain in his voice. She knew he wasn't used to not being able to fix things.

"If it's what you have to do."

"It is. I can bring him back."

"As long as you're with him."

The hugged. "I will, I love you."

Authors note: I know this is short and not as good as other chapters but I didn't really know how else to explain the plan. Oh well more to come. RR.
