Notes: Apologies, real life stuff happened today, but hey this is coming out on Monday Central time, woo hoo. I'll be back at the end for more follow up because I'll have stuff to explain.

~~~ Day 2 – Time Travel ~~~

Beca sat in a secluded back corner of the diner just off campus. Bella practice had just let out, and as usual, she was having a hard time figuring out if Chloe was flirting with her or not. She was fairly sure, but then Chloe got a text, and gave a smile, and said it was from Tom. It was all Beca could do to keep from rolling her eyes.

"You ready to order or do you need some more time?" the waitress, a redheaded woman who looked to be in her late 30s or early 40s asked, startling Beca. "Sorry about that, you've obviously got something on your mind."

"It's ok." Beca sighed as she gathered her wits. Looking at the woman again, she seemed to radiate an air of timeless mischief. "There's this girl, and I don't know if she likes me or not."

"Trust me Beca, Chloe likes you." The redhead said with a smirk. "You should really ask her out."

"I know I'm here a lot, but I've never seen you before." Beca examined the waitress. "How do you know my name?"

"I know a lot about a lot, it's what I do." The waitress replied, winking at Beca. "Like I know a lot rides on you and Chloe getting together."

"Are you related to her?" Beca asked, trying to piece things together. "She's from Portland, I didn't know she has family in the area."

"Nope." The waitress chuckled, sitting in the booth across from Beca. "Guess I should probably show you."

"What do you mean?" Beca asked. Looking around, she realized they weren't in the diner anymore. She was sitting in a booth near a window that looked out to space. Looking around, she was surprised to see beings that clearly were not humans. "What's going on? Where am I?"

"You're in the starboard lounge on the USS T'Pol, Sovereign class cruiser headed to Deep Space 9. It's 2374 by your calendar." The waitress, now wearing a uniform like the rest of the crew.

"So this is some weird dream, right." Beca said. The redhead reached out and slugged her lightly on the shoulder. "Ok so likely not a dream. How did I get here and why am I here?"

"I brought you here to show you something." The redhead explained as a blonde woman with spots starting on her forehead and running down the side of her head and a bald man with wrinkles on his nose. "Captain Bex, Lt. Commander Faren, nice to see you again."

"What are you doing here Q?" Captain Bex asked "I'd rather not disappear again."

"Hey, I met Ambassador Spock and Captain Kirk when that happened." Faren interjected. "Fun times."

"Relax Lysella, not here for you." Q waived the Trill off, pointing to a woman sitting at the bar "We're here because of Lieutenant Posen."

"Posen?" Beca asked, looking over at the woman. "Like Aubrey? So what, you're telling me she's a descendant of Aubrey? What's that got to do with me."

"Right, Lysella, Nalas, you might not want to pay attention to any of what I'm about to say, it'll make the inevitable visit from Temporal Investigations go smoother." Q said. The Trill and Bajoran looked at each other and nodded.

"I'm still keeping my eyes on you." Faren said as they walked away

"So, they're aliens?" Beca asked.

"To an earthling, yes." Q nodded. "But they're not important. I mean, they are important, but not for this conversation. Anyway yes, Lieutenant Posen over there is a descendant of your friend Aubrey. And you."

"Wait, so you're telling me I end up with Aubrey?" Beca asked, looking back over to the woman at the bar.

"No, not in this universe at least." Q shook off her head. "In the so called 'mirror universe', well, let's just say all the Bellas know each other quite well. But in THIS universe, your universe. You end up with Chloe and have a child with her. Your friend Stacie makes it possible for two women to have a child together. You and Chloe have a daughter, as do Aubrey and Stacie. And those daughters have a daughter together, and so on. Lieutenant Posen over there is a descendant of all the Bellas you'll perform with over the next few years, even a couple you haven't met yet."

"So, Chloe DOES like me?" Beca asked, studying the woman. The lieutenant looked their way, and Beca saw what were clearly Chloe's eyes. "So, I have to get together with Chloe so she'll exist."

"Yes, the future of the Federation depends on it." Q explained. "There's a war going on right now, and very soon Lieutenant Posen, a nurse, will save the life of a soldier named Aennik Okeg, and he will go on to be president of the Federation and lead them through some trying times."

"So if I don't ask Chloe out, Lieutenant Posen won't exist, she won't save Okeg, and chaos ensues from there?" Beca asked, looking back to Q. She startled a little when they shifted back to the diner. "Why are you telling me all this?"

"Because I can." Q shrugged. "There's a lot I haven't told you but that's a different story. Go get your girl."

"Still hungry." Beca said, before her usual order showed up in front of her.

"I've got go." Q said, standing up and heading for the kitchen. "Just answer their questions honestly, you'll be fine."

"What questions?" Beca asked Q as she walked away. She startled again when she turned to find two men sitting across from her.

"I'm Agent Dulmur and this is my partner Agent Lucsly, we need to debrief you about what you just experienced" one of the men said.

~~~ Day 2 – Time Travel ~~~

Notes: So yeah, you know I'm a trek fan I think. Lysella Bex and Faren Nalas are characters from my gaming group's Star Trek Adventures crew of the USS T'Pol. Aennik Okeg is from Star Trek Online. I don't own Star Trek, if I did the whole JJverse wouldn't have happened, and I wouldn't let Discovery do what it did to its "Klingons".
