Supernatural Series: Rinse and Repeat

"Got any threes?" John asked looking at his cards.

"Go fish." Cameron replied.

The teenage boy quietly drew his card. The two were playing in the school library after classes had ended. Like Kai promised, after their talk he had returned to the resets. For the past week or so he had spent his time thinking over the god's words. They had been enlightening, troublesome, and relieving all at the same time.

"Okay time out," John said. "You're saying you're responsible for everything that is happening to me?"

"Yes, if by everything you mean reliving the same couple days over and over again." Kai answered. "What you do during that time is entirely up to you."

"How wonderful. What the fuck did I ever do to you?" he questioned crossly.

"It's not what you did. It's what you are."

"Wow," John drawled. "That explains everything. Just for the record, can you be anymore vague?"

"I could ask if you want the red pill or the blue pill and call you the chosen one if you prefer."

"What?"

Kai shook his head, "Never mind, I'm getting off topic. As I was saying, it's what you are."

"And that is?"

"An anomaly," The god answered. "You are a human who violates the Laws of Mortality. Under those circumstances, you shouldn't exist."

XxXxXxXx

The Laws of Mortality, they were universal rules that governed everything not related to the divine. At least, that's how Kai explained them. There were many laws, but they all derived from the first one; Time only moves forward.

"Got any sevens?" Cameron asked. John unconsciously handed the card over.

It hadn't taken him long to figure out how his life violated the Laws of Mortality after hearing the first law. He was a child who was older than his father and as Kai said, that shouldn't be possible. But, what did that mean for him? Kai hadn't been very forthcoming with that answer. However, what he did say was that had John been normal, he would have been unable to remember all the events that had occurred in the time loop.

"So what? I'm to relive the same couple of days for the rest of eternity?" The teenager nearly yelled. He hadn't taken the news all that well.

Kai scoffed, "You're not very bright are ya? If that were the case, then we wouldn't be having this little discussion."

"Alright fine, so how does this end ? You just magically snap your fingers and that's it?"

"Hardly. You want out of this then you need to achieve the same results you got in the original timeline. That means no one dies or is destroyed and the day ends with Cromartie hot on your trail."

"I've tried that I don't know how many times now." John protested.

"Then you do it again and again. How you solve the problem is entirely up to you, all that matters is the end result. If it matches the original timeline then you'll move forward."

XxXxXxX

That was where John devoted most of his thinking time to. How could he achieve the ending Kai had mentioned? Because he was an anomaly he had the advantage when it came to knowledge. The problem however, was how much time it would take to find a working result. Each mistake would force him to start back at square one.

"Got any twos?" John asked Cameron before absentmindedly accepting the card from her.

There had to be something else. Something more. He could feel it in his gut. He was overlooking something and he couldn't put his finger on it.

XxXxXxX

"So what does that mean any way? Being an anomaly."

Kai hesitated, debating whether or not to share that particular bit of information. Shrugging he answered, "The Laws of Mortality are generally set in stone. They're black and white. You can or you can't. But since you are in violation of those laws they're not as concrete for you as they are for others."

"I don't get it."

"Hmmm, let me give you an example. Because of your status, you're practically immortal. Don't get me wrong, you're still human so you can and will die. But only time can kill you. If you were to die from anything other than old age, someone from the future would be sent back to save you. If you're to be assassinated, you get a bodyguard. If you were to contract an incurable disease, someone would bring you a cure. The future is constantly adapting in order to ensure your survival." Kai explained.

"So essentially I don't break any rules, but I bend them?" John asked for clarification.

"Exactly."

XxXxXxX

There! That was it. His near immortality and ability to remember things others couldn't were passive traits. He had no control over them, they just happened. But what if there was more to it? What other powers did his status entitle him too? That was the question and he knew who had the answer. John quickly stood up electing a startled look from Cameron that he knew was false.

"I'm going to get a soda, want anything." He asked her. He knew what her answer would be, even if he had never made the offer before. After hearing the machine decline his offer he exited the library and walked through the empty halls of the school speaking aloud. "Kai, we need to talk."

He got no response. He tried again.

"I know you can hear me. Get out here."

Once more he was met with silence causing John to growl in annoyance.

"Listen you divine voyeur, get your spiritual ass out here right now or I'm going to blow up this fucking building tomorrow!"

"And if that doesn't scream 'crazy', I don't know what does." A familiar voice replied.

John turned to find a German Sheppard sitting in the middle of the hallway. "What took you so long?"

The canine seemed to shrug, "I'm not your lapdog. Don't expect me to come when called."

John cocked an eyebrow at him. "I'll give you points for irony, but you lose some for the obvious setup."

The dog gave him another shrug. "While that sounds like something I would do, I'll have you know I am in this form for a much, much greater purpose."

"And that is?"

"To be hugged by an infinite number of hot, topless chicks in Cancun." Kai stated proudly.

"You realize that every time you open your mouth, my level of faith in a higher power takes a significant drop, right?" John deadpanned.

"Screw your faith! I have boobies to keep happy." The god retorted. "Now what did you want?"

John approached the school's soda machine and gave it a swift kick. Prior resets taught him that the machine was in need of repairs and a strong blow could shake a can loose. Grabbing the can he popped the top and took a sip. "You said that the Laws of Mortality aren't set in stone for me. That I can bend the rules."

"That's right." Kai answered with a nod.

"Can I control it? Make the laws work in my favor?"

The god gave John a feral grin, making his current form look more than a little menacing. "Yes, indeed you can."

"How?"

Kai abandoned his dog form in favor of his default appearance as a tall man with a maelstrom of colors in his eyes. "Let me show you."

XxXxXxX

That particular day officially marked the start of my plans. If left to his own devices, John would have uncovered his powers on his own. But I couldn't have that. It was imperative that he received proper guidance. Without it he would never come to understand just how dangerous his existence was. Skynet would destroy the world, but John destroy everything else.

(End of Chapter 7)

My God! Can it be! He fucking updated?

Yes I did. Writer's block has been bogging me down (I rewrote this chapter four times!). That being said, I don't like this chapter. Because of how much trouble it gave me I am unsure about its quality. But it is a necessary chapter. The next one will be more entertaining as I have been planning it for some time. It will also be the first time you see just what it means to violate the Laws of Mortality that have so far only been mentioned in passing.

Thanks to everyone who reviewed and stuck around for my story. A little info for you fans of "Who is John Connor?" the chapter is half done and I have taken the time to come up with some more ideas for it that I'm sure you will all find interesting.
