Different Destinies Ch 3

"Something is definitely wrong." Wes said to Eric as he approached him two hours later that same day.

Eric looked at Wes and looked him up and down, thinking that it was so weird how Wes just seemed fine and unaffected. This wasn't exactly the Wes he had seen just this morning, he had gotten up, was clean shaven and looking a whole lot better than recent days.

"What do you mean?" Eric asked him, not feeling his uneasiness towards Wes, after all the fight they had had made him think to much about Taylor.

"Remember what we were talking about before?"

"About?" Eric asked

"That people's lives are already written and that either way you chose, your fate had already chosen for you to take that path."

"Yeah, and why is that so important now?"

"Things are all mixed up or something, everything's wrong, the mutant we fought, or what we believe to be a mutant, us contacting the future, and just this morning I met a girl."

"Oh, you met a girl, who was she?"

"Never mind that, she wasn't just any girl, she…….." Wes took a pause and remembered Jen and how this girl looked just like her everything about her was exactly the same as her.

"She, what? Wes?"

"She looked exactly like Jen."

"What, what do you mean?"

"It was so weird, as if I was meant to get up this morning and go to the pizza parlor, and then I saw a little boy, he almost got ran over so I saved his life."

"Ok, so far, nothing out of the ordinary. Well how did you meet her?" Eric asked almost too interested in what Wes would say next.

"She was his mom, as soon as she saw me rescue him, she came over and when I saw her I felt dizzy and strange."

"Are you sure you took a good look at her, I mean, she had a kid and I'm pretty sure Jen wouldn't come back and hurt you like that. Well, I take that back she already messed you up."

"I did, I looked at her longer than a stranger should look at you, she noticed my uneasiness towards her though. The funny thing is that when she asked me if I was ok, she said the same thing I said to Jen years ago when I first met her." He took a pause as he remembered their first meeting, she was being attacked by cyclobots and Nadira, all Wes knew was that she needed help. He rescued her and then came the first time he ever talked to her. She had tears in her eyes and then he asked her if she had just seen a ghost. The next moment Katie came running up and after that meeting all he could do was think about the girl he had rescued. "There's gotta be some sort of connection, I mean Jen couldn't just show up and pretend she didn't know me. This was a different girl. She looked at me as if she had never seen me before."

"Ok, ok." Was all Eric could say to his friend. Of course like Wes he was taken aback, but he was still in doubt after all he hadn't see the girl.

"What do you think?"

"Maybe we should contact the future, they'll be able to tell us a lot more than we know."

"Why do that, I mean they know what's going to happen. They know our destinies, and you know how the saying goes no one can know too much about their future."

"That's right, I guess we could just hang around for a few days and see what happens."

"We'll do that, in the mean time I gotta see that girl again, I gotta ask her for her name."

Her name was Cathy Tate, a widower and his future.

Even though he had agreed with Eric that they wouldn't contact the future he did. He really didn't care he already wanted to know who she was and why he couldn't take her out of his thoughts.

When he had contacted the future and this time he had talked to Tripp, he had made his friend tell him something about her. Retracing every moment in Wes's life had taken a while, but Tripp had immediately noticed her resemblance to Jen and so he gathered some information for Wes about her.

Following Time Force regulations Tripp hadn't really said anything to Wes, all he had said was, "I'm only gonna give you three actually clues, but that's all. Her name is Catherine Tate, she's a widower and crazy enough, she's your future."

"What does that mean, she's my future?"

"I really can't say Wes. No one can know too much about their future."

"Then why are you telling me this?"

"Because that's what it says here in your timeline. This was going to happen and that's all I was going to be able to tell you."

"Tripp, I need to know more."

"Sorry buddy, now you're on your own, I really can't say anything more. Jen had already told me about this, and how I would play a part in it, but that's all I can say."

"Jen knows about this. Of course she would know, when I contacted her last week, she asked me if I had met her already. I wonder if she was talking about Cathy?"

"Yeah, Crap!"

"Yeah, yeah what? She was talking about her? Wasn't she?"

"I guess no need to hide it anymore, yeah it was her."

As soon as Tripp said that the screen went blank and then Eric looked around the room. She knew his destiny. Its like she was controlling everything that would happen to him.

He looked around the room and felt dizzy again, this time he went down hard.

The minute he awoke, things rushed at him at a million miles an hour it seemed. Again he felt dizzy, but he controlled it. How long had he been out? He thought.

He noticed it was light outside and last he remembered it had been dark. He had been talking to Tripp, but the conversation was interrupted and he knew that maybe he knew too much about his future.

Now, to him it seemed like he wanted to avoid any contact with this girl, but the more he thought about it the more he wanted to see her again.

He was going to change his destiny, he would go against everything, and he would fight this history that had been already written he would live. He, unlike before, or like Jen would change his destiny.
