(Adriana's mansion, around Mindnight)
"Police can't f--- with the Juggernaut…"
Carter frowned, rubbing his eyes as he slowly rolled out of bed. His cellphone was playing his song, meaning someone wanted him, which meant he needed to wake up and answer it.
Goodie.
"'ello?" Carter mumbled.
"Carter?"
"…Claire?" Carter asked, still sleepy. "What…what's up?"
Claire sighed. "Things…things have gotten bad."
Carter shook his head. "What did your fathers do this time?"
"It's my bio dad…"
"Nathan."
"Right…he's with me."
Carter growled. "I warned him not to mess…"
"He's on our side."
"…come again?"
Claire sighed. "He exposed himself…the government knows he's one of us…they are after him now."
"Good." Carter said calmly.
"Carter!" Claire snapped. "He's my father! How can you…" She groaned. "Worse still, now they have decided I get no free pass."
"Hell yes you do." Carter said, frustrated. "I'll call the President tomorrow, remind him of our agreement. My family is off the list, that includes you."
Claire was silent for a moment. "That isn't why I called…my dad, Nathan…he says you did something to his head. Something that is giving him nightmares…I need to know how to undo it. We need him fully functioning…"
"I did nothing."
"…what?"
"It was a placebo, Claire. All I did was make some whammy fire that literally made sure his brain chemicals stayed the same." He chuckled. "I knew Nathan would guilt himself into feeling things worse than I ever could…and best of all, he won't believe me and still guilt himself. I'm rather evil, you know."
"Carter!"
Carter groaned. "Listen, we'll talk tomorrow. I'll call the President, let him know you are off limits, then I'll send a jet for you, bring you here…you'll like France, everyone is rude." Carter licked his lips. "Night Claire."
"Carter…"
Carter hung up.
"Why did I want to find my family in the first place?" Carter muttered.
^&^&^&^
(India)
"So, what's the four one one?" Kelly asked, watching as her father and mother returned. The two of them, upon seeing Lord Tully, had told their traveling companions to return to the hotel, that they would go get intel about their target.
Charlie frowned. "We hit it right when we called him Lord Tubby. He had super speed, or atleast he use to. Used it in his youth to win races and challenges. Problem is, his speed is in his legs, not his gut. Got soft, got lazy, now he just sits around and commands his harem. Sad, really."
Renee nodded. "Owns some pretty stuff though…me likey." She began to vibrate like Tigger on crack. "I think if we break in at midnight, we can steal some statues, maybe a few of those gold picture frames…"
"We are not stealing anything." Tina said coldly. "We are trying to get Lord Tully to come with us." She leaned forward from where she sat on the bed. "So…thoughts?"
Charlie frowned. "From what I've heard, Lord Tully doesn't take to people questioning him or demanding he do as they ask. He has banished many of his servants from the city because they dared to tell him not to have seconds."
"Maybe one of those servants could help us?" Renee said.
Tina grinned. "That's a great…"
"They could know where he keeps the really expensive stuff!"
"We are not stealing things." Tina stressed. "Ok, the servants are one way, but I doubt it. If Tully didn't like them once…maybe we could sneak in, find a way in…"
"Go through the treasure room…"
"We are not stealing things!" Tina shouted.
Charlie nodded. "We…could steal something for…ransom?"
"…no." Tina said.
"Yes." Kelly said, looking up. "We can steal something."
Renee grinned. "See Charlie, she is as crazy as we are!"
"No…I'm not." Kelly said. "But I do have a plan."
^&^&^&^
(Boston)
"What the hell?" Lee asked as Orlando quickly began throwing every single lock, and there were many of them, upon the door, before scurrying towards his bookcase. Already, Lee could hear Gabriel cracking his knuckles against the wood, breaking through easily. In moments, Orlando flung the case aside, revealing a steal door. Pressing his hand to a touch screen, the door hissed open, allowing Orlando to grab his friend and haul the two inside, shooting off one quick blast of heat vision before slamming the door shut, just as Gabe and Valencia managed to break in.
"Come on man!" Gabriel muttered, purple flames flowing along his hand until a diamond drill appeared at his fingers. "You're just going to make me mad!"
"And he's usually like that, so you are not helping his personality!" Valencia called out.
Ashleigh glared at the siblings. "Must you?"
"We must." The two said at once, before Gabe went at the door with the drill, Valencia slamming her fists into the metal, trying to rip the door off at the seams.
ZZZZZZZ
"AAA!" Both cried out, electicity shocking both of them and sending them flying. Hank and Ashleigh ran to them, grimacing as the brother and sister flexed their charred skin, the burnt flesh cracking away to reveal already healed skin.
"Now I remember why I hate Orlando." Valencia said.
"You know him?" Hank questioned.
"In the future, yeah. No strong memories until my teenage years, but still, he hovered around. Never part of the inner circle…kinda like Uncle Terrence, only instead of trying to kill dad, he just preferred to make better mouse traps." She groaned. "Always complained the house wasn't secure enough." She reached up and ripped off a stubborn chunk of burnt flesh. "I'm guessing he knows you?" She asked Ashleigh.
Ashleigh smiled weakly. "I…might have killed his Uncle Sal?"
"…friggin' a." Gabriel muttered.
^&^&^&^
"I love stealin', I love takin' things."
"Is that so?"
Sarah whipped around, startled to find her father AND grandfather watching her, both hastily dressed.
She was in the trophy room Adriana had shown them earlier, hands around a golden cup Adriana had claimed to belong to king Arthur. Derek leaned to the side, noticing her back was filled with other goodies.
"We are guests here…" He muttered.
Carter frowned. "You sure are raising my daughter wonderfully."
"Blame the Raegans, they trained her."
Sarah smiled weakly. "It was just a few things."
"What's going on?" Madrid asked, padding into the room, wearing the clothes she'd gone to bed it, Linda following close behind.
"The little klepto decided to steal stuff." Carter muttered, only to get a smack across the head. "Ow!"
"Don't talk about our granddaughter like that." Madrid said sternly.
"But she is a little klepto…" Carter grimaced. "OW!"
Linda wheeled herself over to a wall, not paying attention as Carter and his family continued to argue.
"Listen, I have a good reason…" Sarah began.
"I don't care what it is!" Derek snapped. "Bad enough ou are stealing, but in the past? You could change the future!"
"It would not!"
"You want to risk it?" Carter questioned.
"I'm just…"
"Quiet." Linda hissed, the group turning as she placed a hand against the wall. "I hear something."
All of them went still.
Tap…tap…tap…
"I…think something is behind this wall."
Sarah frowned as her grandfather walked forward, searching the wall with his whammy flames. "This is the part of the movie where we unleash the mummy, you know that, right?"
"There is a person behind this wall…they are scared but also hopeful." Carter flexed his fingers. "Lets see what they want."
Linda nodded. "There should be a switch to open…"
Carter slammed his hand through the wall with ease, ripping a huge chunk out.
"…or we can do that."
"Hey, who's in…there…"
The group froze as a face peered at them.
"Biddy?"
^&^&^&^
"Can she swing from a web. No she can't, that's just gross." Renee sang softly as she pressed her palm to the smooth stone that formed Lord Tully's mini-palace. She shoes lay several yards below her, her bare feet pressed to the wall as she climbed up ala-Spider-Man. "Look out…here comes Renee Raegan."
"Baby…silence is needed." Charlie whispered.
"But its not fun." Renee commented, reaching a window and tying off the rope she carried. Giving it a few quick tugs, she happily tumbled back out of sight into the building.
"Kelly?" Charlie offered the rope.
Tina raised an eyebrow as he girlfriend, who she had never really known to be athletic, grab the rope and quickly ascend. "Where did you learn that?"
"Camping." Kelly hissed, scaling the wall. "Learned a lot…stone identification, how to hunt and track, climbing, working with hand tools…" She grew quiet as she focused on getting into the building. Tina held out a hand as Charlie reached for the rope.
"A moment." She said sternly. "Rope climbing…stone idenitifaction?"
Charlie shrugged "We are hippie parents?"
"You were training her.
"What?" He said, smiling slightly.
"You and her mom… that's how she has been able to help Carter so much. That's how she came up with this plan…you were training her to be a thief. Like you."
"Not like us." Charlie said, continuing before Tina could interrupt. "Better." He held up his hand. "But…as time went on…we couldn't go on. Not forcing her, atleast. If she wanted to be a thief, we gave her the tools…it seems she's used them for a different purpose." He paused. "now…would you like to go next?"
Tina nodded, finally grabbing the rope and beginning the climb.
^&^&^&^
Lee looked around the panic room, running his tongue along the inside of his cheek. "Only you would have a panic room filled with pornography." He picked up a copy of 'Black Booty Monthly", skimming through it. "Seriously Orlando…this is just sad."
"Well, I was just using it as a storage closet, which is why my bike is in here too." Orlando said, flipping on a monitor and watching as Gabriel gave the door the finger. "Your captors aren't going to get in here that easy."
"They aren't my captors." Lee muttered.
"Then who are they?" Orlando asked, tapping the image of Ashleigh. "Because that woman I know killed my uncle."
"That's my mom." Orlando raised an eyebrow. "She came back from the dead." Orlando frowned, Lee smiling weakly. "Trust me, it happens more than you think. My friend Carter…his family has died more times…those are his kids from the future, by the way."
Orlando blinked. "…ok, start at the beginning."
^&^&^&^
(The Daniels' Chateau)
"MOVE!" Malcolm shouted, pulling out his new favorite toy, the electro-bullet gun he'd stolen from Nathan's men, and fired several shots at the men. He dove around a doorway, taking a couple more shots before he raced after Ellie, taking three steps at a time.
Ellie panted as Malcolm caught up to her, yanking her into the bedroom and slamming the door shut.
"Who…who are they?"
"Don't bloody know, don't bloody care…" Malcolm muttered, grabbing the bed and heaving it away.
"But you are all Mister Knowing!"
"They are blocking my powers." Malcolm said, lifting up a secret panel. He had demanded a room with just such a space, and even though he had yet to fully move into the room (there wasn't anything other than a bed and tv in it, actually), he had wanted the storage space.
"How would they do that?" Ellie ask.
"Again, being blocked, no bloody clue." Malcolm said, rummaging around. When Carter and Valencia had taken out Nathan's men, Malcolm had stolen every weapon the men had on them. He'd requested Helena and Vic to secure him duplicates and upgrades, but right now he was happy he had what he had. "Get behind the bed." He said, tipping the bed over.
They'd laughed at him when he'd asked for a bed made of bullet proof metal.
The door shuddered as the men that had invaded the chateau tried to break it down.
Malcolm smiled as he selected the perfect weapon, hiding behind the bed with Elle.
The door flew open.
"My turn." Malcolm said simply, popping up and cocking a large automatic uzi.
Not all the weapons had been for simple tag and bags.
The agents didn't even have time to duck.
^&^&^&^
Derek stared at Biddy.
She didn't like that.
"Problem?"
Derek shook his head. "No…no, of course not m…miss." Sarah rolled her eyes. "Watch it…"
Carter rubbed the bridge of his nose. "Quiet." He leaned around an archway, motioning for the group to follow. "I'd like to sneak out of her quick and easy like." He growled. "Pissed enough I'm leaving without my sword."
Biddy pulled Carter's duster, which he had given to her when he had noticed she was wearing only a thin camisole, tight against her body. "I can't believe this is your granddaughter from the future."
"I can't believe Adriana is working with Marie." Madrid muttered, going over the story Biddy had told them of how Adriana had been called upon by Marie to take the pregenent woman away for protection.
"I can't believe my daughter's kleptoing actually was worth something."
"I can't believe its not butter." Linda muttered dryly, wheeling around a corner.
"I can't believe you didn't think I'd hear you."
The group stopped short, startled to find Adriana and several guards, the same kind that, unknown to them, were attacking the chateau in France.
"Shit." Carter muttered.
^&^&^&^
Kelly looked down at their prize. "As I said…there is something we can steal." She nodded to Tina, who held up the injector gun and fired a single needle-shot into Tully's neck. The fat man mumbled in his sleep as he drifted deeper into unconsciousness.
Renee nodded. "Most of the time, I steal pretty things…" Tina and Kelly glared at her. "Ok, ok, I'm stealin', I'm stealin'." She began to tie the rope around the fat man. "I better get something real shiny for this, Charlie."
Charlie turned to his daughter. "My bank account thanks you."
^&^&^&^
"And that's when Malcolm brought Ellie back to the chateau…"
Orlando frowned. "And Ellie…"
"Is british." Lee shrugged. "We can't all have superpowers."
"…right." Orlando commented.
"I know it is hard to believe, with my mom being insane for quite a few years and me going all supervillian and killing the man I know consider my best friend…"
"I believe you."
"And that he is married to freakin' Marie Aleverz…geez, remember when we saw Amry Chicks? Her boobs look even better in per…wait, what?"
Orlando grinned. "Lee, my friend, I have heard a lot of crazy things, and I have learned that most of the time, if they are coming from someone you trust, they are true." He wrapped an arm around his friend's shoulder. "And if you are telling me that Ashleigh Delpine is sane now, and you need my help kicking her sister-in-law's ass…I'm good to go." He pressed a button, opening the panic room door.
"Glad too…"
"AAAAA!" Gabriel shouted, whacking Orlando with a baseball bat.
"Gabriel!" Lee shouted.
"Booyah, bitch!" Gabe cheered, Valencia holding her head in her hands.
Orlando groaned. "Then again…"
^&^&^&^
"Any ideas?" Carter asked, igniting his hands.
"I got one." Derek said, his hand glowing. He slashed the air, a rip in space appearing. "Everyone out of the pool!"
"Shoot them!"
Carter dove forward, taking the shots meant for his family, swinging his fists as he exploded into his Metatron form. Madrid was working on protecting Biddy, while Sarah stared at her hands, growling in frustration that her powers, yet again, were not activating when she needed them. Derek slashed the air several times, the agents screaming as fire burst from the cuts.
"I just opened portals to the sun. Might want to stand back." He said calmly, backing towards the main portal. "I mean it though, we need to leave now!"
Carter nodded, firing several blasts at Adriana, who managed to dive out of the way and pull out a strange ring, about the size of a frisbee. "I'm way ahead…ARRRRGGGG!"
"Carter!" Madrid cried out, watching her husband fall to his knees. Adriana's ring had hit his neck, snapping open then shut, locking in place. Carter's flames instantly died, electricity burning his skin as he twitched.
"It's a shock collar!" Sarah called out.
"What?!?" Biddy exclaimed.
Derek frowned, making another slash and letting loose water from the Pacific. Linda held up her hand, sending the waves crashing against some men that had been coming towards them, then focusing on trying to drag Carter, who had managed to get away from them in the fight, back towards the portal. "It's a weapon used the stop people with powers. Blocks your abilities, and when you try and use them, shocks your nervous system." Carter groaned, tugging at the collar weakly. "We need to go, now!"
Sarah nodded, grabbing Biddy with one arm and Linda's wheelchair with the other, using her inherieted super strength to drag the two into the portal. Madrid kept trying to get to Carter, only to be pushed back by agents.
"Derek!" Carter cried out, his voice weakened by the constant shocks as his body subconsciously tried to heal itself. "Do you love my daughter?"
"Of course, why does that matter?" Derek called out.
"If you love her…you'll get her mother out of here, now!" Carter rose to his feet, taking a breath. "And then you'll shut the portal down."
Madrid's eyes widened. "NO!" She screamed, staring forward.
"Derek, do it!" Carter cried out, rushing into the agents, not caring if he no longer had his super strength, speed or healing. "You have to leave me! Go!"
"Carter!" Madrid, even as Derek sadly wrapped his arm around her. "NO!"
"We'll find you! We'll be right back!"
"No, you won't." Carter said, ducking a punch. "My wife…my daughter…they are all that matter now. You need to protect them Derek…forget about me."
"Carter!" Madrid screamed as Derek dragged her into the portal.
"I'm not keeping that promise!" Derek called out, watching as Carter was swarmed.
"Oh…you will." Carter whispered, before one agent managed to knock him out with the butt of his gun.
Adriana stood up at long last. "Call Marie…tell her I'll be there soon."
^&^&^&^
(The Next Day)
"What…the hell?" Tina whispered as she entered the chateau.
Malcolm sat on the couch, calmly flipping through a graphic novel, Ellie seated beside him. Bullet holes filled the walls, furniture was destroyed, construction workers were busy fixing doors while several maids scrubbed the blood from the hardwood.
"We had guests." Ellie said softly. "Malcolm showed them out."
"They're sleeping in the garden, about 6 feet deep." He said calmly, flipping through the book. "Kept their weapons, some nice stuff…they got someone to make a power blocker for them." He turned the page. "Did you get Lord Tully?"
"Out cold in the van." Tina said. "Is that my copy of Watchmen?"
Malcolm nodded. "The Question was right, Rorschach sucks."
"Blasphemy!" Tina snapped.
Kelly groaned as she entered. "Great, you have the nerd all fired up."
"I am a fan of comics, not a nerd." Tina commented.
"I know." Kelly said, giving her girlfriend a quick peck on the check. "That is why I love you."
Tina nodded. "And, by the way, I don't see people getting on Carter for his comic book love."
"First off…" Lee said, entering just in time to hear that comment. "Carter likes lesser known heroes, like Blue Beetle and Booster Gold." He frowned. "You could always put down your Green Lantern books and try some Hellboy." He pointed at Orlando, who was still casting looks at Gabriel as their group entered the chateau.
Tina wrinkled her nose. "I'll stick with Hal Jordan, thank you!"
"What happened to your head?" Renee asked as her and Charlie walked in, Lord Tully's limp body on a gurney.
Orlando glared at Gabriel.
"Madrid's here." Valencia said, looking out the door. "And so is…"
"Biddy?" Hank whispered, everyone going still as the woman they hadn't seen in months slowly entered the chateau, one hand place protectively on her stomach.
"…Hank?" She whispered, tears in her eyes.
"Biddy!" He cried out, rushing forward and wrapping his arms around his girl, giving her a deep, passionate kiss. He held her tight, breathing in her scent, eyes closed as he savored having her once more in his arms. "How?"
"Carter…" She whispered. "Carter."
Hank smiled. "He did it…that bastard told me he'd save you…" He laughed. "Where is that idiot! He has a hug coming!" He glanced over at the door, noticing at long last that Sarah and Derek were working to help a shaken and red eyed Madrid into the building, tears still streaming down her face, Carter's duster wrapped around her like a security blanket. "What is it…what's wrong?"
Biddy gulped. "Hank…Carter…"
"Where's daddy?"
Vally stood in the doorway, a stuffed elephant from the zoo in her arms. She looked about, confused.
"Daddy?" She called out. "Daddy?"
Biddy began to cry.
^&^&^&^
"What do you mean you let her go?!?" Marie snarled. "I sent her to you for protection, to ensure that she would remain alive and in my hands, and you let her disappear like that? How could you be so stupid, so careless, as to allow that to happen!? I trusted you…"
Adriana held up her hands. "I understand, Marie…that is why I offer a token of forgivness."
Marie huffed as several of Adriana's men opened up the van's door. "I seriously doubt there is anything you could provide…"
Carter Daniels tumbled to her feet, a power blocking shock collar around his neck.
"Will this do?"
^&^&^&^
"DAAADDDDDDYYY!!!!"
Madrid struggled to hold onto to screaming toddler, Tina hurrying to help. Vally continued to cry out, kicking and slapping everyone, pink flames bursting from her body.
"WANT MY DADDY! WANT MY DADDY!" She wailed.
She wasn't the only one not taking the news well.
Hank was holding Biddy as she sobbed, blaming herself for all that had happened. Kelly too was crying, her mother and father forgetting all thoughts of shiny things and instead focusing on comforting her.
Lee sat dumb on the floor, his mother trying to ignore what horrors Marie would inflect upon him.
Ellie was rushing about, trying to help everyone, being the one who knew Carter the least.
Linda gripped her wheelchair in frustration.
Vic sat on the couch, Helena bandaging his broken hand, staring at the hole he'd punched in the wall.
The four time travelers were huddled together, trying to figure out what the hell had happened.
Vally whimpered, she screams finally dying down, but not her pain. The little girl sniffed, rubbing her face against her mother's shoulder. "Why did daddy have to go?"
Madrid closed her eyes, resting her head next to her daughters. "I don't know."
"I do."
Madrid and Vally turned, watching Malcolm as he stared out over the French landscape.
"Because he saw someone being hurt, and he couldn't live with that."
^&^&^&^
Carter grit his teeth as Joseph cruelly shoved him to the cold cement floor, eyes squeezing shut as his attacker kicked him hard in the rubs. He'd been stripped of his shirt and shoes, left only his pants, left to shiver agianst the cold."
^&^&^&^
"So he took Biddy's place..."
^&^&^&^
Gabriella grabbed Carter's hand, pulling it above his head as Joseph violently tied him to a piece of rough lumber. He kept his face still and cold as Gabriella placed a metal spike against his wrist.
His calm shattered as Joseph drove the metal home.
^&^&^&^
"Because he can take it."
^&^&^&^
Carter roared in agony as Joseph whipped him, blood and flesh flying from the wounds.
^&^&^&^
"Because he isn't just your father."
^&^&^&^
Carter bucked as the power-blocking collar shocked him as his body struggled to heal itself.
^&^&^&^
"He's something more...something better."
^&^&^&^
Marie watched on as Joseph tortured Carter, noticing that, while Carter did scream and cry…he was never scared, never frightened.
^&^&^&^
"What is he?" Vally asked timidly.
^&^&^&^
Carter lifted his head up, staring defiantly at Marie, sending cold chills down her back.
^&^&^&^
"A hero." Malcolm whispered.
Everyone took this in, letting the silence overtake them. It was only broken by the soft rustle of Malcolm's jacket parting. He lifted his gun up, inserting one of the large elctro-bullets into the chamber before cocking it, holding it out and staring down the sight before he brought it to rest against his shoulder like a bounty hunter from an old fashion western.
"And we are going to get him back."
^&^&^&^
(We see Carter hanging, all by himself)
I found God
On the corner of First and Amistad
Where the west
Was all but won
(Carters looks to the sky, as if in prayer)
All alone
Smoking his last cigarette
I said, Where you been?
He said, Ask anything.
(Carter lowers his head, blood trickling from his lips. The blood pools at his feet and in it the image of Helena appears, crying as Vic holds her tight)
Where were you
When everything was falling apart?
All my days
Were spent by the telephone
(We move into one of her tears, showing Kelly huddled in a corner, clutching a photo album)
That never rang
And all I needed was a call
It never came
To the corner of First and Amistad
(The album opens to show Lee violently throwing a can of paint through a window.)
Lost and insecure
you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
(The glass falls, revealing Hank and Biddy holding each other in bed, each holding the other as they cry)
Why'd you have to wait?
Where were you, where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, You found me
(The twisted sheets take the form of Ashleigh staring at a mirror, punching it in disgust)
In the end
Everyone ends up alone
Losing her
The only one who's ever known
(The reflective metal reveals the 4 travelers sitting at a table, going over maps, stumped at what went wrong)
Who I am
Who I'm not, and who I want to be
No way to know
How long she will be next to me
(The lines on the maps bleed together to form Tina lying in the fetal position on her floor, staring at a straight razor, slowly picking it up)
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
(The carpet pattern reveals Madrid holding a sobbing Vally, tears in her eyes as she wraps the two of them in Carter's duster)
Why'd you have to wait?
Where were you, where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, You found me
(The cracks in the duster turn into shower streams, the image pulling back to show Malcolm under the hot water, head down)
Early morning
The city breaks
I've been calling
For years and years and years and years
(As the drops fall from Malcolm's nude form, we see flashes of Terrence, Claire, Peter, Eden, Matt, Mohinder, Hiro and others)
And you never left me no messages
You never sent me no letters
You got some kind of nerve
Taking all I want
(The water in the drain swirls down, turning to blood once more as Carter hangs upon the lumber. He closes his eyes, defeated)
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Where were you, where were you?
(Carter looks up, and as he does so, Malcolm flings himself out of the shower, grabbing his gun, he pounds on Madrid and Vally's door, the two of them taking a deep breath, before marching out of their room. They pass Tina, who has used the razor to carve Carter's name into the handle of a pistol)
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
(The four travelers now inspect maps, showing Ashleigh where Marie might be. Hank and Biddy enter, throwing them each bullet proof vests)
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
(Lee uses the paint to create crude soldiers, Kelly handing out weapons while Vic and Helena issue commands)
Why'd you have to wait?
Where were you, where were you?
(All of them join together, nodding to each other before they march off into the night)
Just a little late
You found me, You found me
(Beyond them, where the sun will rise, we see Carter hung up, waiting for them)
Why'd you have to wait
To find me, to find me?
ELSEWHERE
In the past, he saved the world
This time, the world will save him
