What Kevin Knows

Disclaimer: I decided to include the old Sci-Fi/SyFy series 'Eureka' as part of my 'Hijinks' series and while the timeline change did happen a few of the effects of it didn't happen. Kevin did NOT become a normal teenager and remained Autistic, Jack used the time change as the second opportunity it was for another chance with Tess, Allison remained head of GD, and the influence of Crisis brought Nathan Stark back.


While Kevin Blake wasn't like a lot of other kids growing up because of his Autism and therefore, setting him apart from them and even adults as he gradually became one himself, he was none the less his own person. He loved everyone in his life in his own way and had his own way of doing things and that's just how he preferred it. Kevin might not be able to live on his own because of his Autism but he was essentially okay with that and in his own way, was glad his mom had finally stopped trying to fix his condition and came to accept it fully. Though she would use the information she'd learned over the years where his Autism was concerned to help other parents with children who were diagnosed with Autism. Uncles Jack, Henry, and Zane always included him in things when they were able too but the thing was, at the end of the day, Kevin knew a great deal of things that others like his mom and Uncle Henry hadn't a single clue of. Not because he lacked the means to communicate in his own way, but because he knew they weren't ready for such knowledge. As thanks to the Artifact deep within Global Dynamics, he had a special connection to it.

One everyone else thought was no longer a thing but secretly was thanks to not being a huge and obvious thing. The Artifact had helped him to avoid being changed when Time had changed after his mother and the others had traveled to the past and then returned. The Artifact told him a lot and while some of it frightened him, other information didn't. It was also because of the Artifact that he had been taken to a Special Place when the World had been hurt by a Monster and because of where he went while that had gone on, had ended up meeting a girl named Jennifer and saw Mr. Stark there. Whom had been surprised to see him but tearfully happy as well and like Jennifer, would retain his memories of his experiences once he came back from that Special Place to the World after the Monster had been stopped. Though the World was very different in a lot of ways and it seemed like his mom and the others had no clue of it but he, Jennifer, and Mr. Stark certainly did thanks to their experiences. But unlike him, Mr. Stark would need time to re-adjust to being back in the World after being gone from it for as long as he was. And Kevin didn't even need his connection to the Artifact to know that his mom was happy about Mr. Stark being back.

Kevin also knew that because of his experiences in the Special Place, Mr. Stark would be a different person. A good different according to the Artifact but as long as his momma is happy was the important thing in his view. Oh yes, Kevin knew a lot but he was just fine with that.


Author's Notes: I hope folks enjoyed and hopefully I didn't do too badly with Kevin and his Autism here. Apologies if I did however.
