Paradox put me inside the warehouse that is set to blow up, I remembered it all too well. I looked around some, trying to find the bomb. Paradox grabbed my shoulder stopping me. "You have to let the bomb go off, but you have to also keep him far from it." he informed me. "Um, okay." I replied only to find him gone. I walked around some. I wasn't sure where he was but I'm sure, randomly roaming will totally find him in this large, cluttered warehouse. I sighed and picked up a random object looking at it some, before throwing it over my shoulder, then sending other items crashing down. I turned to look behind me, just as the oversized shelf was about to come crashing down on me. I was about to jump out of the way, when someone tackled me out of the way. I was surprised, at first I couldn't see anything due to the large amount of dust in the air. I coughed some, trying to clear my lungs, as I sat up to see who was my mini hero. I saw the white hair and jumped over to him. "Albedo! You idiot!" I shouted rolling him over. "I am no imbecile; for you threw the bomb, which you probably did not even realize was the bomb!" he snapped at me. I was taken back for a moment. Then he realized something looking me up and down for a moment. I felt the blood rush to my face as he did. "You were not wearing those clothes before, why the sudden change?" "I didn't, I'm from the future." I explained, then showed him my badge. "I found it… and me and Kevin finished it. I come from a future where this bomb kills you, and I have to stop that." He looked at it quickly, giving it an okay though needs improvements look. "What is wrong with my death?" he asked not looking me in the eye. "It tips the balance because you weren't suppose to die. You were suppose to give this to me in person yourself, and so many good things happen between us, like normal dates, and fights too, but we're happy." I explained though I wasn't really sure where all the information was coming from, most of it I remembered from the dreams but other parts I didn't recall. He looked shocked, but he knew as well as I did, that time travel wasn't impossible. He got up and pulls me to my feet. "You better explain how you know all of that if I die." I realized that myself when he says that. "You know what, I don't have a single clue. Most of it came to me in dreams. This one time, Gwen forced me to a dance club for teens and I knew how this one guy, who was hitting on me, wasn't gonna make it home just by looking at him. It was really weird like all this information just filled my head." I explained very rapidly, the way I do when I get nervous. He shook his head some looking at me dumbfounded but quickly lead me away from the mess that held the bomb. "So my cousin Gwendolen took you to a teen club, why?" he asked not looking at me. I looked at our hands and blushed some. "Because your death made me very sad, and she just wanted me to be happy again, even for a few moments." I replied only to lose my footing somehow, and fell to my knees. That's when the bomb went off. The rush of hot air, and flames flew passed us. Albedo looked surprised, since it had knocked him down and a bunch of ceiling fell down between us. I could barely see him in mix of heat, smoke and debris between us. I reached out my hand as much as I could. "Oremus*" I whispered, watching a faint shield fall around him. I quickly stood up, only to fall again, a cry of pain escaped my mouth. I messed up my ankle some how, but I didn't care. I had to get to Albedo first. I wasn't sure how long the shield would last, but I was hoping for long enough. It was a maze, making it hard to find a safe route to Albedo. I had to go back and start over several times. I started to grow worried and frightened, I took off my jacket sometime ago, due the heat, but I had the cold sweat of fear, rather than from the heat. I played with my hands some as I tried to get to him. Then after some time, I realized who was in front of me. He was out cold, burns covered random areas of his skin, fallen debris pinned him to the ground. Panic filled my chest as I went and crawled over to him and shook him, trying to wake him. "Please, wake up." I coughed as more smoke filled my lungs. He groaned some, but nothing more than that. I shoved some of the debris off him, but it was harder than usual due to how hot it was and the smoky air. I gritted my teeth as I removed the heaviest piece, before brushing some of his bangs out of his face. "Everything is gonna be alright." I said quietly and pulled his arm over my shoulder and picked him up. Pain ran up and down my leg but I gritted my teeth to bear the pain. It felt like there was a dozen knives in my ankle and billions of needles were poking up and down my leg when I took a step. - I pushed open my backdoor with his arm over my shoulder. My body was so tired from carrying all the dead weight of his body on my own. I went to take one more step, only to trip and fall over. I coughed a bit, then got up and looked at him. He looked like he was only resting after having a long day. Then I realized something, he wasn't breathing. "NO!" I shouted rushing over to him. "You have to breath!" I turned him to his back and checked for a pulse. Panic rushed over me, as I tried to think of what to do. I was taught what to do, I knew that much but I couldn't remember how to do it. I yanked at my hair trying to think clearly before it washed over me, and I felt pretty stupid for forgetting something so simple. I kneeled by his shoulder and quickly opened his mouth to check his airway, but I couldn't see anything. I quickly locked my hands together, and placed my palm correctly on his chest and started compressions. I counted to thirty before giving him two breaths. I waited a second for any sign then went right back to compressions. I don't know how long I did this, but soon he coughed and turned his head to the side. "Thank god." I said grabbing his hand and putting my forehead to it. I was so tired but I had to get him to a bed. I slowly got up and pulled him up again and dragging him to my room. I tried not to just drop him onto the bed, but that's kinda what happened when you're running on fumes and are lifting a boy who had around twenty pounds on you, maybe more since it was mostly muscle. "You did well, Fira." Paradox stated from my desk chair. "But you have to return to your time now." "I have to make sure-" he cut me off by raising his hand. "Albedo, will be fine. Trust me." he said taking my hand to pull me up to my feet. "As for you, you have a very busy day ahead of you, and need your rest." - Buzzzzzzz, buzzzzzzz, buzzzz buz- "Hello?" I asked half asleep, I couldn't even see past my certain of hair in my face. "If you don't hurry up you'll be late." his voice rang over the phone. I fell over in bed. "But I'm so tired." I whined removing my hair from my face. "So you'd rather sleep all day long, than see this movie you have been waiting to see?" he asked with a smirk on his voice. "Wait, you're gonna watch that kind of movie with me?" I asked sitting up. He chuckled some, "I don't see why I wouldn't. You go to Sumo Slammer movies with me and my brother." "I'll be there soon." I replied before hanging up. I started to get dressed only to realize the badge Albedo made for me wasn't my wrist. I stood there confused, but then again I recalled everything that happened, yet at the same time it was like it never headed. I looked in the mirror for a moment, getting a better view of my outfit. "Why didn't Paradox change my memory, make me forget?" I asked myself. "So, he hasn't given me the badge yet…." "Correct." Paradox said out of no where making me jump. "You can knock!" I snapped looking at him some. "Sorry about that, but I knew you'd be asking yourself these questions so I must give you an answer of some kind. I can not change your memories, but make sure you have the right information. You gain information on certain people out of the blue, and you see something is off about what is going to happen to them. So you stop that something from happening, keeping the information you have in your head correct." he explained some. "That makes no sense, I'm no time traveler." I remarked crossing my arms. "Aw, you are not, but you are from a family of fairies of love." he replied. "We just keep soul mates in line, make sure they don't wander off their fated path." I explained. "How does that have to do with the information I get in my head?" "I believe it is the same, the only difference is you get to see their whole fate and keep it on track. You are not fate itself, but you are someone to help guide it along the right track." he smiled some. "Look that sounds really cool and all, but I have a date to get to." I stated opening my bedroom door. "Why must you be closed minded to the idea of your powers becoming something greater?" he asked suddenly. "Because, the more powerful I become, the harder it is to have a normal life. I never asked for these gifts, sure they're genetic but all I ever wanted was a normal life. Nothing fancy, nothing fabulous but I was born into that kind of life. I ran from it, and now here on Earth it gets as normal as I can, while learning about all the different alien bodies and how they work, heal, and overcome illness." I explained. "Being a great doctor is my dream, not being a queen." With that I left him alone in my room though I'm sure he left as soon as I shut the door. - I sped out of my house and see a certain white haired boy standing on my sidewalk, with his car. It was the same as Ben's though red instead of green, Kevin has the strangest sense of humor when it comes to the twins, since they were so different. They could try and pretend to be each other and fail the moment I see them. It was the small things that gave them away. "You are stalking me now?" I asked with a raised brow. "No, I just thought you'd appreciate a ride, rather than walking all the way to my place." he stated with a smirk. I have never really seen Albedo smile in all the time I have known him, he'd rather smirk at you. But there was maybe two times I caught a small smile on his face, by the time I had tried to take another glance it was gone, I still have no idea what caused them. "Okay, a ride would be nice since I feel sore." I said rubbing my lower back some. "I also notice you wore a skirt, rather than your normal pair of jeans or shorts." Heat rushed to my cheeks. "I had to get dress quick I didn't have time to actually look at what I put on." I lied looking away and crossing my arms. It was a simple, loose fitting, black v neck, with a my shortest (seriously it isn't that short, it's at mid-thigh) skirt, with a brown, studded belt. Then for shoes I had a normal pair of black boots, that had a bunch of small biker spikes on the sides. It was a simple and cute with a splash of punk to it. I happen to like punk clothes for some reason, most likely because I am a rebel at heart. "If it makes you feel better, you looking very nice." he stated opening the passenger door for me. "Thank you." I said with a smile getting into the car. I noticed a small black box with a poorly done red ribbon on top, was on the seat. I looked surprised and picked it up. Looking at him with a puzzled look on in my eyes. He smirked some more. I couldn't help but give him a questioning look as I opened it to see the white face with orange triangle designed face of the badge. I put on a surprised face as I looked at him. "What is this?" I asked pulling it out of the box carefully. "Your new Plumber's badge, I designed it myself." he stated going to the driver's seat. "Fira, I want to express my emotions to you especially, since recently I feel that I have been reawakened. I wish to indulge you in something I have kept incarcerated for sometime now." he looked like he was nervous, which didn't happen often. But I couldn't help but blush some since I kinda know what's going on. I was about to say something, when he stopped me. "Please, don't interrupt me for this subject is of great difficulty for me to announce, much less understand. What people guess as infatuation is what I feel for you, unfaltering. I pray that you can reciprocate this emotion as profusely and mutually as I." I looked at him with a small smug look. "I some what understand what you are saying but put it in simple terms for me to make sure I got this clearly." I replied. "I planned this outing, because I also like you very much, Fira." he stated with a serious look. I seriously now couldn't help but pull his chain some now. "Awww, you're going to a romantic movie with me, that has my favorite actor, whom I adore? Because you like me, just as much as I like you?" He growled at me some and gave me an angry look. I laughed a bit then smiled gently. "I'm just kidding, we don't have to see a romantic movie, we will pick a movie we both agree on."
