Chapter 681

Years In The Making

John opened his eyes and looked around. He hoped there would be someone in the bed with him. There wasn't. He was all by himself. He sighed and swung his feet over the side of the bed. He noticed two tissues on the ground in front of the trash can. He smiled to himself. He wondered which one was 'Savannah' and which one was 'Young Allison'. He knew it didn't really matter because he'd only 'popped' both of them in his mind as he satisfied himself last night before he fell asleep.

He reached down and picked up the two tissues. He was about to drop them in the trash can, he thought better of it and took them into the bathroom with him and put them in the toilet. He figured Cameron would go through his trash can to see if he'd pleasured himself again in her absence. After he thoroughly soaked them, they disappeared when he flushed the toilet.

He finished up his personal business. He dressed and headed out towards the Command Center. He paused at the commissary entrance for a few moments and decided it was too much hassle to get something to eat right now. He moved on and entered the Command Center. He was ready to follow up on the information John Henry said he would have ready for him in the morning.

John wanted to update their drones as soon as possible. John Henry was ready to deliver his findings.

"We've spent some time going over the three HK drones we captured." John Henry said.

John was curious about the preliminary report he'd received yesterday.

"You said they were all different." John said.

John Henry was a little surprised to discover that they represented three different models. Each one was slightly more advanced than the other.

"Yes, we'd only looked at them for a short time at that point." John Henry said. "Now we have complete reverse engineered plans of all three of them. We're converting ours and upgrading them to the standards of the most advanced one."

John wondered why they were different and what was different about them. It didn't really make sense to him that they would have three different versions of the same thing.

"How are they different?" John asked. "The three of them I mean. What's different about them specifically?"

John Henry was a little surprised at the conclusion they'd all arrived at. It was still speculation but it was all they had to go on.

"I believe they're designs from three different futures, which means three different Skynets." John Henry said. "The different Skynets must be working together."

John needed to think about that for a few seconds. It sounded like something Cameron would say. He needed a better explanation.

"How's that even possible?" John asked.

John Henry went with the theory that Cameron put forward.

"Cameron said she believed they were able to communicate somehow." John Henry said.

John wasn't surprised that Cameron was behind the speculation.

"She's told me that as well." John said. "That bothers her deeply. It still seems impossible."

John hoped it wasn't actually the results of different timelines that Cameron may have created, instead of the defeated Skynets communicating directly somehow. Maybe there was a record of some type. Maybe it was from the information on Cameron's chip.

John Henry and the team previously came across other things that remained an enigma.

"I don't know how it's possible." John Henry said. "There are many things we've experienced that I can't explain how they were possible but we know they were."

John was aware that Cameron floated the idea of a much further future version of Skynet before.

"Are we dealing with some future – FUTURE Skynet?" John asked.

Based on the advanced technology it seemed most likely John Henry.

"I believe so." John Henry said.

John was aware of Cameron's biggest fear. It was her fear that she became Skynet, at least some version of Skynet anyway.

"Is it the 'Skynet' that Cameron thinks she becomes?" John asked.

John Henry was aware of Cameron's prediction. There was no evidence to back that up.

"It may be." John Henry said. "I can't tell yet."

John wondered if Cameron would know if any of the evidence pointed the finger at her.

"Can Cameron tell?" John asked.

John Henry looked a little nervous and John's question.

"She's withdrawn herself from the testing." John Henry said.

John let out another sigh.

"Why?" John asked.

John Henry asked Cameron the same question. He'd already speculated what her answer was going to be and it was.

"She's afraid that it's 'her'." John Henry said. "She believes that a Future - FUTURE Skynet will be her."

John knew that Cameron didn't like to talk about 'work' when they were alone together, which was rather infrequent anymore. She always made sure that there was a box of tissues on the nightstand for him in her absence. She would also remind him that he knew where the girl's rooms were at. She told him that none of them would turn him away, including Savannah. It was very tempting at times.

"We don't talk shop much, in fact we don't talk much at all but it's something that troubles her deeply when she opens up." John said.

John Henry was a little worried about the way Cameron looked when she withdrew from the testing.

"She's troubled now by it." John Henry said.

With the new information, John hoped that there was nothing happening at any location where they'd previously been.

"We have recon teams out all the time. I know at every location we've conducted an operation that we have surveillance set up." John said. "Is anything different?"

It was something John Henry checked several times a day for each of the locations.

"No. I monitor everything." John Henry said. "Everything is the same."

Three different Skynets would seem to indicate there was some time travel involved by someone.

"Have there been any temporal incursions?" John asked.

John Henry double checked and CamNet did as well.

"There haven't been any that I've detected." John Henry said.

John looked over the reports again. It was clear that the HK drones weren't constructed where they were captured.

"They needed to build those HK drones somewhere." John said.

John Henry was unable to determine where that occurred at this time.

"I'm searching." John Henry said.

John didn't want John Henry to feel like he was pressuring him. He knew things took time.

"I know you are." John said. "You seldom have any 'down time'."

John Henry showed a faint smile. There was usually only one person who seemed to care about his well being.

"It's only been when Savannah's insisted that I do." John Henry said.

John was aware that Savannah was very hard to turn down for anything.

"She does have a way with persuasion." John said.

John Henry knew Savannah could persuade anyone.

"No one can say 'NO' to her." John Henry said.

John suppressed a smile.

"I know." John said.

'I won't be able to either, when she comes for me….' John thought.

John knew Cameron always 'pushed' Savannah on him. Cameron wanted the 'Natural Order' now in this timeline.

He always wondered if maybe he should do what Cameron wanted him to do. He knew it would be a lie to say he didn't want that. He decided to move forward with his life and when the opportunity arose, he was going to take it. He really wanted Savannah's virginity. He wasn't sure what would happen after that but he would get what he wanted the most. He wanted to be the 'first' one time and know it was really the 'first' time. He knew that she would at least try it one time. What happened after that was anyone's guess. More than likely she would have the same desires and sexual trajectory as Vanna. He hoped to at least get some 'breeding sex' out of her later on if nothing else.

John Henry stopped his briefing of John. It seemed John was in 'another location' right now even though he was sitting right in front of him in the Command Center.

Cameron arrived at Savannah's room in the morning. She'd been assisting with the testing of the captured Skynet equipment earlier. She didn't like some of the conclusions that she'd drawn and left. She figured some time with Savannah would help clear her mind. She glared at Cammy when she opened the door. She ignored the fact that Cammy was naked. She figured Cammy did that on purpose just to let her know that she'd been with Savannah while she'd been out working. She really thought Cammy was a Bitch at times. This seemed like one of them.

She wanted Savannah to decompress from the activity in the low desert and mountain top. She offered to take Savannah anywhere.

Savannah wanted Cammy to go with them. Cammy looked at Cameron and said that she needed to take care of some things that she didn't have time to do last night because she'd been busy.

Cameron noticed the quick glance between Savannah and Cammy when she said that. She tried to ignore it but it was obvious as to what she'd meant. It only took one look at her nude form to confirm that. She watched Savannah finish dressing and left with her. Cammy still hadn't put her clothes on.

She wanted Savannah to eat a nourishing meal before they got started. Savannah didn't want to. She said they could pick something up where they were going.

Savannah asked Cameron to take her to the beach. There was always something soothing about being at the ocean with the waves and the surf. Maybe it was the crashing of the waves. The sound of endless power, over and over. Maybe she hoped that Cameron would be able to feel the same things she did when she was at the beach. She would try to help her see the simple beauty of it all.

Cameron walked along the shoreline, Savannah was at her side.

"This is beautiful, Cameron." Savannah said.

Cameron felt an urge to take Savannah's hand and hold it in hers.

"Yes, it is." Cameron said.

Cameron slowly looked away from Savannah and at the beach.

The pier was off to the side of them away from where they'd parked.

Savannah wanted Cameron to see the same things that she saw at the beach.

"Can we go out on the pier?" Savannah asked. "There aren't many people here today. I see those little 'red flags'."

Cameron knew the 'red flags' were a warning.

"That's because of the 'rip currents'. It's dangerous to be in the water." Cameron said. "Many people don't listen. They can be pulled out into the ocean in seconds. They often drown."

Savannah noticed some children playing in the wet sand close to the water. It was easier for them to build a sand castle with the wet sand. It held together better than the loose dry sand.

"It is a shame such beauty can also be so treacherous." Savannah said as she pointed. "Those children don't look very well supervised."

Savannah saw the young mother tried to get a 'tan'.

Cameron never understood why humans expose themselves to unnecessary skin damage.

"Their mother seems more interested in working on getting 'skin cancer'." Cameron said.

Savannah knew that nobody thought about that when they were young. She tried to make light of the situation.

"She's young and wants to look 'tan'." Savannah said. "I personally don't like 'tan lines' I would rather sunbathe topless. Do you ever sunburn?"

Cameron knew her sheath would respond much the same way as a human female's skin would respond. It just took longer on her to happen.

"I can or I can even get a 'tan' if I choose to." Cameron said.

Savannah liked the look of Cameron's creamy white sheath. She didn't want her to alter it. She herself could sunburn quite easily. She'd applied sunblock liberally before they'd left the vehicle.

"Don't do either." Savannah said. "How is my 'sun block' holding up?"

Savannah knew Cameron wanted to scan her. She thought she could give her a reason check. She knew Cameron would become worried if she didn't scan her every now and then.

"It's still well within its functional parameters." Cameron said.

Savannah could see that Cameron was a little hesitant to do the scan.

"Don't forget my neck." Savannah said.

Cameron smiled as she scanned Savannah and checked the sun block.

"Everything is perfect." Cameron said.

Savannah smiled at Cameron.

They started out onto the pier. The waves crashed in front of them as they walked. Soon they were right above the waves. They continued along as they headed further out over the ocean on the pier. The breakers were left behind them as they moved over the deeper water.

It was a relatively peaceful setting. It was very quiet towards the end of the pier.

It seemed that time and the world was left behind them….

Allison and Vanna shared with each other. They'd just finished a mutual pleasure session.

Vanna wasn't done with Allison. She stayed with it and worked on her alone until she finished several times in a row. She liked to remind Allison where she'd first learned the true beauty of female love.

Allison caught her breath and looked deep into Vanna's eyes. There was no one else that made her feel like Vanna did. She wanted her longtime lover back.

"Vanna, I want us to move back in together." Allison said.

Vanna smiled at Allison. That's what she'd wanted to hear.

"I want that too, Allison." Vanna said. "We were meant to be together."

Vanna propped herself up some so Allison could get a good look at her breasts. They were slightly larger.

Allison did notice. She wasn't quite sure how that was possible. Vanna always had been the same size ever since she'd known her. She knew every inch of Vanna's body better than she did the back of her own hand.

"I noticed you're getting bigger." Allison said.

She took a closer look at Vanna's breasts with some selective touching.

Vanna had been to the doctor and the specialist more than a few times with Cameron. She knew Cameron wanted to try to help her and saw that she was placed on some various hormone treatments. She didn't really want to get into it with Allison right now.

"Cameron asked me to do some medical treatments." Vanna said.

Allison stopped fondling Vanna and got a serious look on her face.

"You know I'm going to lose my baby." Allison said. "I can feel it."

Vanna didn't really want to hear this. They'd been over it many times before.

"Please, don't say that." Vanna said. "I'm sure whatever Cameron has planned for me won't work for me either."

Allison was very upset about what the future had done to Vanna's and her bodies.

"We're barren." Allison said. "Our bodies are worthless…."

The two long time lovers held each other and sobbed.

Young Allison secretly watched Allison and Vanna from the bunker entrance. She couldn't take it any more. She turned to run from them and cry for them, to cry for 'herself'. They'd shared such beauty and now were in so much pain.

She ran right into the arms of Anna.

Anna held and comforted her as Young Allison sobbed.

She knew that Young Allison normally didn't exhibit this level of emotional distress.

"That's going to happen to me when Judgment Day comes." Young Allison said. "You can't let it happen to me."

Anna was aware of the conversation between Vanna and Allison. She'd heard everything that they'd said and discussed.

"I won't, Allison." Anna said. "I promise."

Young Allison knew her body would be able to do with Allison's body was no longer capable of.

"I can help her. I can help 'myself'." Young Allison said. "I'm not old enough."

Anna didn't think this should be a concern Young Allison at this time.

"You're still young," Anna said.

Young Allison looked flustered and frustrated.

"I don't want to be." Young Allison said. "I want to help."

Anna knew what was necessary.

"I'll inform Cameron." Anna said.

Young Allison knew that there was going to be a big obstacle in her way.

"I'm going to speak with my mother." Young Allison said.

Anna thought that Young Allison might like some reinforcements.

"Do you want Cameron or me to go with you?" Anna asked.

Young Allison wanted her mother to know she was serious.

"No." Young Allison said. "This is something I need to do on my own. It's the first of many things."

Young Allison regained her composure and exited the bunker.

She went to her mother's room and was about to knock. She could hear Hanna was in there with her and they were 'busy'. They were busy a lot. It seemed Hanna pleasured her mother more than a dozen times a day. It was double what Holly did for Allison. She was aware what those noises meant. She also knew when she experienced that same 'feeling' when she was alone that she needed to remain silent so nobody would know. It was something that usually happened every night for her now. Last night it hadn't.

Young Allison went back over to check on Allison.

Allison and Vanna held each other again. She watched them for a short time and then she reached out and quietly closed the door to Allison's room. She knew one day that would be Savannah and her doing the exact same things. It made her feel a little jealous to know that Savannah already shared with Allison and Future Allison to do those things. There was no reason that Savannah couldn't be doing them with her now.

Young Allison wondered where Holly and Cam were. They'd spent a lot of time 'tethered'. They'd asked her to watch Summer, that was hours ago. She headed to Summer's room and Summer was asleep. There was a book next to her and her tablet, which was now off. Summer studied a lot. It seemed that Summer knew more than everyone without even trying. She was amazing in her ability.

Young Allison almost bumped into Anna.

Anna wanted Young Allison to know that she was aware of what she'd been up to.

"I've kept track of Summer while you were 'busy'." Anna said.

Young Allison wasn't ashamed at all by watching Vanna and Allison together or her mother for that matter with one of the Metal girls.

"The door wasn't closed…." Young Allison said. "I know what goes on. I've seen them all before…."

Young Allison saw all of them before, many times. She just knew she was 'suppose' to.

Anna wanted to give Young Allison an 'out'. She knew that both Allison and Claire were 'conditioned' every night not to close their doors tight. Cameron wanted Young Allison to learn everything she could ahead of time so she could please Savannah better when they were together. It was part of her nightly 'conditioning.

"It's natural to be curious." Anna said. "It's part of growing up."

Young Allison was very curious. She watched all of them whenever she could. To watch it on the internet was just not the same. She was able to see how real people acted and actually pleasured each other. She longed for the day when she would be a participant. She was pretty sure that if she ever was alone with Vanna and there is no possibility of anybody else finding them that Vanna would 'break her in'. She didn't think that Vanna would be able to turn down the young teenage version of her longtime lover. It would be much the same way the Allison didn't turn down Savannah when they had the opportunity to share. She was slightly jealous of Allison for taking cuts and using what belonged to her.

Cameron and Savannah were at the beach. They went out on the pier and were near the end of it. They were quite a ways out over the water and far from the shore.

Savannah was playful and provocative with Cameron.

A big smile blossomed on Cameron's face and she laughed often. It was clear that she experienced a very good time just to be in the company of Savannah. The setting only added to enhance the feelings.

"Savannah, you always make me feel so 'different'." Cameron said. "Sometimes I forget I'm a scary robot."

Savannah cringed a little at Cameron's statement. She didn't see anything at all that way.

"That's because you're not." Savannah said. "You're not a scary robot. You're an advanced life form."

She believed Cameron and the other Metal girls we're more like 'mechanical humans' than scary robots.

Savannah reached up and wiped a small spot of ice cream off the tip of Cameron's nose. Cameron bought an ice cream cone from a vendor for her earlier and tried a bite.

They continued their walk on the pier.

Cameron reached for Savannah's hand but hesitated.

Savannah noticed Cameron's trepidation. She reached over and took Cameron's hand herself, their palms touched at first.

Cameron soon readjusted her hand so their fingers interlaced.

They looked at each other and smiled. Cameron drew Savannah closer. Savannah knew that whatever 'happened' that Cameron would have to initiate it. It looked like she was about to. It was long overdue.

The waves crashed behind them now. There were only a few fishermen and sightseers.

The water was a beautiful blue as was the sky.

"I can see the beauty in this, the water and the sky and the peacefulness." Cameron said. "You've shown me many things of beauty that were right in front of me. I didn't see them as such before."

Savannah didn't think that Cameron was anywhere near done 'expanding'.

"You're still growing everyday, Cameron." Savannah said. "You have many things to learn."

Cameron lightly moistened her lips.

"I do." Cameron said. "I also have many more things I need to experience."

They reached the end of the pier. There was no one else near them.

"We're all alone here." Cameron said. "I'm surrounded by tranquility and beauty."

Savannah faced Cameron now.

"You've allowed me the freedom and opportunity to experience and learn many things…." Savannah said.

Cameron always wanted Savannah to feel nothing but love. She was more than willing to sacrifice her own feelings so that Savannah could have the best things in life.

"With knowledge and experience you can be an excellent teacher." Cameron said.

Savannah could feel her heartbeat pick up some. It didn't seem that she had any control over it.

"I'd need a student…." Savannah said.

Their bodies were now pressed tightly together. Their arms embraced each other.

Cameron looked at Savannah with her big brown puppy dog eyes. Their faces were inches apart, they drew nearer.

"Teach me..." Cameron whispered.

"Oh, Cameron…." Savannah said as her lips moved closer to Cameron's.

It was the loving kiss that'd been years in the making. It was about to happen.

Nothing could stop it….

Years In The Making

Some things in life happen fast
Some things happen very slow
As the years quickly pass by
One wonders where the time did go

Someone casually meet another
They soon share a night of fun
Once things are finished
Their separate ways they run

Most have many partners
It's just mainly for the thrill
Some will find out soon enough
They should have been on the pill

Others take a slower approach
They believe in the love they feel
They try to make the other
See what they feel is real

They want there to be
No confusion or mistaking
What they've built has been
Years in the making

Nobody
