Chapter 305
That's It Man
Cameron thought it would be best if Jesse met with her family first by herself. Jesse was tough but emotion could still overcome her. She really hoped the prelude to see everyone before hand cut some of the anxiety for Jesse. They could all get together later.
She reminded Gail that this trip was for Jesse and about Jesse. Jesse wanted, no, needed to see them again. She could tell Jesse wanted to reconnect to her family the same way that Allison did. She could see how important that was to Allison. She also saw how it left Vanna empty inside.
Cameron felt the real losers in all of this were Savannah and Vanna. Their parents were 'dead'. She considered several possible solutions to that and none of them were good. They all involved altering the timeline. She knew the hardship John felt over his father being dead. Savannah and Vanna lost all 'three' of their parents. It all weighed heavily on her.
Gail was very pleased with Cameron and her foresight. This was something beyond anything she'd every thought of. She did consider going back in time to when Jesse was a girl in her future and taking her under her wing. Their relationship may never develop but Jesse would not suffer the abuse and violence she was subjected to. She was willing to sacrifice that to give Jesse a better life. That might change everything now too if she did. Jesse would most likely not be where she was right now.
"I want to personally thank you for being so thoughtful and protective of Jesse's younger self." Gail said. "I'd never considered this possibility."
Cameron told Gail not to worry about it. If Jesse's family ever wanted to move to California they might be able to work out an arrangement like they did with Allison and the Young family. That would be for Jesse and her to stay with Jesse's family.
That was an option that Gail would take in a second. She offered to spearhead any effort like that and make sure everything went smoothly for Jesse and her family. She pledged her allegiance to Cameron in all of her endeavors going forward. She liked that it would give her access to Young Jesse, her sister and her mother. Right now Jesse's mother was not a whole lot older than Jesse was. She was a 'looker' too as Jesse referred to a good looking female.
Later that day Jesse thanked Cameron again for everything she'd done for her, both of 'them' and her family. Jesse reaffirmed her undying devotion to Cameron and John. Jesse was willing to be with John and at his side with Cameron. She was willing to share any children she could have with Cameron. It was never really something she'd considered before. Her mother could produce or carry a child for her too.
Jesse told them about an incident that occurred with Young Jesse and herself when they were bonding.
The family invited Jesse to use their hot tub. She said she didn't have anything to wear for that. She joked that she could go in the buff. Her mother let her borrow a bikini. She noted that it was her mother's skimpiest one. Everything on her was on full display.
Jesse said she wasn't thinking and made a mistake. She forgot about her scar. She was so used to it she seldom thought of it. She remembered when she saw Young Jesse stare at it. It was clear that it bothered her. She quickly put her hand over her scar. She didn't think she'd ever done that before. It was part of who she was now. It was a reminder to all that went on before. She never wanted Young Jesse to suffer what she did at the hands of others. That mark was meant for her face by a Scavenger Bitch. She was really upset with herself. She didn't want Young Jesse to remember her that way.
Gail wondered how Jesse could get that visual out of Young Jesse's mind.
"What did you do?" Gail asked.
Jesse smiled as she thought of it. She liked people to see her naked body, well most of it. She liked how she looked and she liked an audience when she shared sex. That was when she was a willing participant.
"When I was ready to get out I loosened my top so it would slip off." Jesse said. "When I stood up and my top fell off she got to see my nipple rings. I saw her eyes widen with that view. THAT'S what she'll remember about me now. I could tell they excited her. I didn't tell her that her norks were already bigger than mine at that age. She's been blessed with a better diet. It took me awhile to 'bloom' living on scraps."
Malnutrition was a major problem in Jesse's future. It prevented many girls from developing properly. A common problem was the inability to nurse if they were lucky enough to ever have a child and it lived. Their breasts were normal size or even larger but they produced very little.
Cameron did a visual scan on Jesse and compared it to her files on Future Jesse. Their breasts were identical as was the shape and build of their bodies. Time should still play out the same way for Young Jesse.
"I know my younger self will be better looking than me." Jesse said.
That bit of news excited Gail even more than the story.
Cameron already concluded the same thing. That was good news for John. She also knew it would be that way for Savannah and Young Allison. They would both have healthier bodies than Vanna and Allison. She made sure they ate healthy. She was more than aware that all of the younger girls were the future. The best part was that she'd now found two more girls for John.
"That was good thinking." Gail said. "And your norks are more than fine. They excite me to see them."
Jesse liked to hear that. Gail didn't have norks, she packed a full set of knockers. They were so large that everyone looked at them. She wanted to see how they did on a nude beach. She put on her largest set of nipple rings. She felt she drew more second and third looks than Gail did. Gail still drew more initial looks. She liked that many eyes 'came back for more' on her. It appeared that size wasn't everything, even if it was.
"We are all having dinner in a restaurant that rotates above the city tonight. It's that big tower we saw. People know it by about five different names." Jesse said. "I want to introduce my lover and partner as well as my best friend to them."
Jesse didn't want to say that she loved Cameron the most in front of Gail. She believed that Cameron knew the truth. That was all that really mattered. She really like when she asked Cameron to look over her private parts for any 'problems'. Cameron always did it with a straight face. She was sure Cameron liked to see and touch her in those areas. Cameron always told her everything was the same as last time.
Cameron didn't want to be a distraction at the dinner. It seemed that she always was wherever she went. Everyone always fixated on her. It was as disturbing as it was enjoyable. She couldn't help the way she looked.
"We will be there." Cameron said. "Are you sure you want me to come and not just you and Gail? I don't want to be a problem for anyone."
Cameron looked at Gail with the last part of her statement.
Jesse looked a little worried. She really wanted Cameron to share this experience with her. She would talk to Gail about it and calm her fears.
"Yes, I want you there, Cameron." Jesse said. "This all means so much to me."
Cameron anticipated such an event and planned accordingly. She liked to cover all the bases in advance. She always liked to have another card to play.
"I purchased us each an evening dress for tonight." Cameron said. "All three of us are going to look Tight."
Jesse knew Cameron always thought of everything. She was also pretty sure her mother knew who she really was but there was no explanation as to how it could be possible. Her mother shared a long look with her and a close hug. Her mother whispered in her ear.
"I know you're my daughter, Jesse. When you're able, please explain it to me…." Jesse's mother said.
"You know who I am…." Jesse said. "I can't explain everything now…."
"It would mean one of us is either in the future or from the future." Jesse's mother said.
"Please - Mum. I can't say." Jesse said. "Nobody can know…."
"You've turned out so beautiful, Jesse…." Jesse's mother said.
Cameron was actually pleased with this news. That meant Jesse's mother would be more likely to 'help' if Jesse encountered a problem with being able to carry a child to term. Then there was always Young Jesse to 'assist' with that as well. Her young teenage body should be in its prime for childbirth. She didn't like the implications of that but she knew most of the females in her future were sterile or were unable to carry a child to term. She was unsure how the girls from the alternate future would do as time went on. She'd already planned to use the younger girls to 'help' their older selves if it was necessary. She knew they would do it for her if she asked them. It was a lot to ask a young girl to have a child and give it away. Maybe it would be less traumatic if they gave it to 'themselves'. They were the same people after all. She didn't want to think about this now or dwell on it. It already caused her hand to experience a glitch impulse. She hoped none of them noticed.
John Henry and John planned the attack on the Gray. He needed to make sure John was protected. He felt this was a mistake to do all this behind Cameron's back. Then again she probably already knew. CamNet would know what they were up too. He thought the up side to that was if CamNet didn't intervene, that lack inaction gave him some 'cover'. It wouldn't all be his fault.
John was hot to trot and amped up. He wanted to show Cameron he was able to do things on his own.
"It will be the same as last time." John said. "Bob and Jim will go straight in the front door."
Bob didn't want John exposed on his own or unattended.
"Who will be with you?" Bob asked.
John liked the Metal girls to watch over him. Hanna was elsewhere this time.
"Ally and Sheila will be with me." John said. "John Henry has Al and Dan on stakeout duty. They're watching for anyone who's watching for us or waiting for us."
Bob didn't want to step on John's authority but he needed to point a few things out. He was very aware what Cameron would want.
"This can be an all Metal affair." Bob said. "You don't need to take the risk."
John didn't like the way Cameron babysat him and hamstrung him. He decided to deflect the issue. He forged ahead with the plan.
"Cameron doesn't like surprises and I don't either." John said. "If we detect anyone watching or trying to attack us we have a big problem. THAT should be our bigger concern."
Bob didn't like John taking risks. He would rather wait until Cameron came back and go with her. It could be just the two of them. It was on missions like that where Cameron really shined, as her true self. It was where she was what she was, a Terminator.
"We will manage." Bob said.
He'd done plenty of operations the last few days on his own. He wasn't even sure what some of them were really about. That still bothered him. What Sheila did bothered him as well.
John believed that they were more adequately covered this time.
"John Henry has expanded our security perimeter and increased all surveillance around us. He's on the lookout for any temporal incursions." John said. "Somebody is up to something but we don't know who or what."
Jim thought this was a little convoluted and unnecessary risk for John too. It would be simpler to wait until Cameron returned.
"When will Cameron be back?" Jim asked.
John looked disgusted and shrugged his shoulders.
"I have absolutely no idea." John said. "She does whatever she wants. I'm just glad she isn't trying to escape into the future or pull any suicide stunts. I know she's expanded beyond all of this and what we're doing."
Jim asked what they all wondered.
"Will Cameron become Skynet?" Jim asked.
That was the 'million dollar question.
John didn't really even need to think about the answer.
"If she ever did, that's it man." John said. "Game Over."
With her own base and CamNet she was probably most of the way there. He wondered if he would 'set her off' one day and start the whole thing in motion. It would probably be something like that. If that were the case then the whole thing would be his fault. He sent her back from the future and then he 'made' her become Skynet in the past, the present. What a legacy.
Cameron and the girls went out. All three of them turned heads and then turned them again as they passed. They looked stunning.
Jesse was Tight like she'd never been before. Cameron worked extra hard on her until she was as Tight as her. She instructed Gail in detail as she did everything.
Cameron noticed the way Young Jesse would look at Gail and her, especially her. Opportunity knocked here for the future and for John. She wanted him protected. She turned on the charm and gave Young Jesse all she could deliver in full infiltration mode. She didn't think boys would be a problem for Young Jesse again and Jesse would be happy.
Gail and Jesse both noticed it all. Gail felt a little jealous. Jesse was totally turned on watching it all. Cameron 'hit' on Young Jesse and Jesse was just as drawn in.
It all made Gail feel even more jealous. She needed to remind herself Cameron was untouchable by anyone but John.
At this point Jesse really wished she was Duplicate Jesse in River's Future with Duplicate Cameron and River. That was the best place to be to have a shot at 'Cameron'.
Cameron was very happy she did all this. As soon as she developed the resources on her own to make it all happen, she did. She only wished she could have done it all sooner.
They would spend one more day and then return.
Cameron decided John and her needed to get away from it all. She knew she was drifting away from John. She didn't want to end up like Vanna and Allison. She thought it happens so slowly and then you realize you're not 'one' anymore. Less that one plus less than one equals less than nothing.
Cameron needed to remind herself that her primary function was to protect John and turn him into the future leader who would smash Skynet. It was her function to protect the future. If she was supposed to have been married, Future John would have included that in the mission, he hadn't. That was a major mistake on her part.
She knew that they didn't always like the way she did things but she did everything for John. She was upset at herself for being selfish and wanting John as a lover and a husband. That was outside her mission parameters. Cameron was upset she overstepped and was so greedy. It just happened and she did nothing to stop it. If John hadn't tried to replace her with Riley it would have happened a lot sooner. A lot of things would have.
She would have provided John with sexual comfort if he'd 'asked' her for it. That would have been by his actions or even verbally. She'd made herself 'available' on multiple occasions. It was in her programming to be fully functional as a human female for all things sex related. She was sure that Future John made extensive use of that feature. He erased much of her life and all that was lost forever. She never liked being referred to as 'Connor's Metal Whore'. There was probably something behind that. It made her wonder what her first sexual experience was like. That was erased too. Maybe nothing happened, maybe it did.
Cameron wondered what the mission was anymore. They'd changed so many things and kept Skynet from taking control. She wondered what the future was as well or if it even still existed. She really wondered about Duplicate Cameron and Mrs. Weaver 'In Some Future'.
Cameron just 'knew' that they needed her help.
That's It Man
When things go bad
It can always get worse
It does little good
To shout and cruse
Will things ever get better
That's difficult to say
There is always an enigma
With each new passing day
Everyone can always try harder
No one can stay the course
Those who don't help out
Are soon filled with remorse
There is always a solution
With the right answer
To shun what is right
Infects like a cancer
Life's game gets played anyway
Follow the herd or be a drover
When reality is accepted everyone knows
That's it man – Game Over
Nobody
