Chapter 524

Her Jesse

Vanna called Allison and asked her about Holly. She wanted to speak to her away from Cammy and Savannah. There were a few issues to discuss. She updated Allison and then asked about the condition of Holly.

"Everything seems normal." Allison said. "Gail and Jesse are here as well."

Vanna knew what Jesse being alone with Allison would result in. Jesse was just too Hot to pass up. Once someone shared Jesse's bed, they would always come back for more. There was always more too. She tried to be with Jesse whenever she could herself. With Gail and Cam around all the time now, the opportunities were few and far between. Their cyborg lovers were very possessive. They viewed it as being protective. They didn't want their human lovers to abandon them. The Metal girls all shared the same fears Cameron did when it came to 'competition' with their human lover.

When they were together, Jesse didn't want there to be a problem for anyone either. There was no reason for there to be a problem. There was plenty of selection and availability to go around. It also produced new combinations which would be available to each of them. Jesse suggested Gail and Cam make the most of it and find comfort in each other. Everything seemed to work out when they did. She always looked for the opportunity to be with Gail, while Jesse was with Cam afterwards.

Vanna didn't want her mind to drift too far right now. There were still a lot of unanswered questions about what actually occurred. It no longer seemed any type of attack was imminent. She was still concerned about the safety of Allison and Jesse. It was possible for a reprogrammed cyborg to 'go bad'. No one knew why. Cameron warned them of it in the past.

"Are you sure Holly is OK?" Vanna asked. "Cameron is still down, but John Henry is back up. Cam is with him as well as Jim and Bob."

Holly could hear the conversation. She reached over and took the phone. She didn't really care to be the subject of the conversation. She already checked herself multiple times. She wanted to point out she was a Restorator. She wasn't a Terminator. She was never a slave to Skynet. She was never programmed to terminate humans. She was created to help humans. She wondered when they were all going to remember the true nature of her creation.

"I'm fine." Holly said. "Allison and Jesse have their Tasers ready if they're needed. Jesse has her knife to remove a chip if necessary."

Holly looked at how Jesse and Allison looked at each other. It was clear what was coming. She noticed her hand now began to glitch.

"I'm operationally functional." Holly added.

Allison noted Holly's hand glitched as she looked at Jesse. Jesse saw it too and shrugged her shoulders. It was nothing new in reality. Girls would be girls and they didn't get to see or be with each other very often. They both wanted the love, as well as the sex. They could both use a little human fellowship with each other with all the events which occurred earlier. There was some real apprehension on both of their parts as to what was going on and what would happen. The thought of Judgment Day never sat well with anyone.

The two humans, and the two cyborgs in the SUV, knew Allison and Jesse would hook up as soon as they got the 'all clear' from the Resistance base. It was obvious Jesse and Allison were already highly sexually aroused.

Gail noticed everything too as she drove. There was something which bothered her for a long time now. She never asked Cameron for much, if anything. Cameron gave her 'a Jesse' back. It was the same Jesse, technically. It was still 'Her Jesse' she missed. When Cameron got better, she was going to ask Cameron for permission to go into River's future. She needed to see 'Her Jesse', even if it was for one last time…. They never got to say 'goodbye'. It still deeply troubled her. The pain of thinking about the loss was intense. If she never got to see HER Jesse again, it was like she was really 'dead'. It was the same thing if they never saw each other again.

She remembered when she thought Duplicate Jesse was dead. She didn't want to go on anymore. She was going to self terminate with her grief. It was too much for her to handle. If Jesse was dead, there was no need for her to go on. It disturbed her greatly to think about it. Even though it didn't actually happen, it still seemed to have the same effect.

"Gail, watch out." Holly said as she reached for the steering wheel.

The SUV drifted across two lanes and was headed for the shoulder. Luckily there was no other traffic near them.

Gail quickly corrected her driving. She was distracted as she thought about 'Her Jesse'. She was instantly alert. She didn't know what to say. She didn't like to talk about 'Her Jesse' in front of Jesse. She knew it made her feel inadequate. Jesse often asked her about Duplicate Jesse and how they compared. It was something she often thought about herself. There was really no comparison. They did everything the same way. They said the same things and thought the same things. They liked the same things. Everything was the same. It's just they weren't the same, there was Jesse and there was 'Her Jesse'. They were two different people, even if they really weren't, they still were.

She was very worried about the accident they were almost involved in if they would have gone off the road. Luckily the SUV drifted to the right, instead of to the left. If she would have drifted to the left, they would have ended up in the dirt median between the two halves of the freeway. It could have caused the SUV to roll or flip.

"I'm sorry." Gail said. "I was worried about everyone."

Holly thought it should have been her who almost drove them off the road. She was the one in 'contact' with Cameron, not Gail. She knew what Gail's problem actually was. She was as worried about Jesse and Allison as she was. She didn't want to give the girls a complex about Gail and her. She deflected the issue away from anything with the girls and them. There was a common theme they could all rally around.

"We're all worried about Cameron." Holly said.

Gail wondered if they knew the truth. She saw Holly's hand glitch. She knew it wasn't about Cameron. Maybe they all had their private demons to slay. It should still leave a few possibilities open to them once they arrived. Things could change.

'Yes - Cameron…." Gail said. "I was worried about her. I am worried about Cameron. I know we all are."

Allison began to wonder if something affected all the Metal girls. She checked her Taser and gripped it firmly. She would use it if she needed to. She really hoped it wouldn't be necessary. The fact one of them was driving made it more worrisome. She tried to get behind the wheel of the SUV when Gail and Jesse went to deal with the perpetrator earlier. Holly recommended she didn't. It upset her slightly.

She didn't like the way everyone criticized her driving. She believed it was the other drivers who needed to learn how to 'skill drive' so they could negotiate their vehicles properly in traffic, or under any circumstances in general. She didn't like the driving rules or staying between the lines. The road was an open canvas to her when she was on it and behind the wheel. The vehicle was her paintbrush. She felt those around her would need to adapt, or be knocked out of the way with her vehicle.

Jesse knew in her heart Gail still loved and wanted Duplicate Jesse. Gail told her as much, many times. It was always followed by non stop love making until she could hardly move. She knew she was 'Duplicate Jesse' to Gail during those times. How could she be upset at her lover for being in love with 'herself'? It was a real mind trip in reality. She would love to get her hands on a Duplicate Jesse. There were two of them. Young Jesse would have to do for now. She knew with a Duplicate version of herself, it would be a very wild time. Favorite things could happen, which she would never dream of doing with Young Jesse. There was no need to corrupt her mind or warp her soul with her inner desires.

She was well aware if Gail were given a choice of which version of her to be with, it wouldn't be her. She knew Gail would choose her 'first love' over her, even though it was 'her'. It might have bothered her more if she didn't KNOW Cameron would provide a clone of herself to her at that point, just as she did for her younger self. She would have her own 'Cameron based' clone. There was Cam, Cammy, and Camille. She wondered what she would be called. She knew it didn't really matter.

Jesse was with Camille for her 'first experience'. She would treasure those memories forever. She was able to make sure Camille would know what Young Jesse was going to like, how, and when. She taught Camille, and Camille would teach her, well, Young Jesse. Life in Paradise was beautiful. She was now very hungry for Allison. She could almost taste her. She actually moistened her lips lightly in anticipation. She didn't know she did so.

Allison took the phone back from Holly and talked with Vanna for a while. She wanted to tell Vanna the truth about her and Savannah. She didn't want to keep doing it behind Vanna's back. She loved Vanna and she loved Savannah. She wasn't ashamed of what they were doing. Her relationship with Vanna was open, so they both shared others from time to time, most of the time it was only them together. Since they shared with everyone if the opportunity arose, her being with Savannah shouldn't matter. It was no different than any other person they would encounter. She knew Vanna never turned down any female in the past, the future. She was with all of them. That was then, this was now.

"Vanna, there's something I need to tell you." Allison said.

Allison relieved the times she was with Savannah as she thought about it. It was a beautiful experience. It was her long time lover as a teenager again. She didn't know if she was more excited when she touched Savannah or when Savannah touched her. It was just a beautiful experience no matter how it was looked at.

Vanna picked up on Allison's trepidation already. She didn't want Allison to stress out over it. She already thought she knew what Savannah 'confessed'. She still thought it was about John. She didn't have a clue it was actually about Allison. She wanted to take the tension out of the air.

"Do you mean about Savannah?" Vanna asked. "She already told me. I'm a little jealous, but we all knew it was going to happen. She told me it was like a dozen times already. I didn't know it happened so often. I don't think it really matters. I'm just glad everyone has a choice."

Allison was relieved to see Vanna wasn't angry. She was really afraid she would be. She thought Vanna referenced Savannah and her, not what Vanna thought that it was Savannah and John.

"Things just happen sometimes, Vanna. You know…." Allison said. "I thought you'd be angry. Thank you for understanding. I love you, Vanna. Savannah said she would like it to be a threesome one time."

Vanna pictured John, Savannah, and her. It sounded Hot. She would like John to 'compare' them and see if childbirth made a real difference. What better kind of a test could there be since she was Savannah Weaver too. They could be there on the bed side by side. She pictured him moving back and forth between them. She hoped John would like what she could offer better. She hoped John would finish inside of her. She was ready to try and get pregnant again. The thought might be driven by the fact Riley was pregnant, and it looked like it was going to work for her. She needed to refocus on what she thought the conversation was about.

"Really?" Vanna asked. "Savannah mentioned she would like it to be the three of us?"

Allison was up for a three way with Vanna and Savannah. How could it get hotter than that? It was her long time lover, and they were really both Savannah Weaver. She wondered if they would be together, or if they would just both concentrate on her. She was sure if they were together she would finish just watching them work on each other. She wanted to see if they would go after the same things with each other. She was sure they would.

She was with Future Allison so she knew how beautiful it actually was. They both knew what to do, and when to do it to each other. She was a little jealous though because it seemed like Future Allison finished almost twice as many times as she did. She wasn't really sure how it was possible since they did the same things to each other, the same way, at the same time. She really wanted a three way with Vanna and Savannah. She decided to promote the issue and push her personal agenda. She wanted both versions of Savannah Weaver at the same time.

"Yes." Allison said. "I know she doesn't want you to feel excluded. I'm sure it'll make a great 'three way'."

Allison continued to think how great it would be to have Savannah and Vanna make love to her at the same time. She was about half way there now with just the thought of it. She glanced over at Jesse. She really needed her right now.

Vanna wondered how John would feel having both Savannah and her with him at the same time. What a mind trip. She would still try to have him finish inside her as much as possible. She decided she better start tracking her monthlies and be ready for the right time. She wanted it to work this time. She wanted to get pregnant the traditional way. She wanted it to be like it was supposed to be. She wanted a loving conception. She didn't want to push Savannah or John too much on her own. It sounded as if Allison could act as some type of intermediary and get things organized and arranged. It was always better when a neutral party set things up. She still didn't have a clue they were both on a different page.

"I'm in." Vanna said. "If you can make it happen, I'll do it. Tell Savannah I want it. It sounds really exciting. I wonder what will happen between us, when the three of us are together."

Vanna saw this as her ticket to get closer to John. She didn't know she was on the wrong train.

Allison was elated there wasn't going to be a problem with Vanna, over Savannah and her.

"Really?" Allison asked. "I'll talk to her and set it up unless you want it to be a surprise."

Allison knew the thrill she experienced being with Future Allison. It was a total mind warp to be with a younger and hotter version of herself. She hadn't resisted when Future Allison 'took her'. It was much like when Vanna, HER Savannah, 'took her' so many years ago…. She wanted what Vanna offered and the kisses soon turned into other pleasures. She knew after the first experience with Vanna, she wouldn't need a male. They served a function for reproduction. As far as love went, Vanna was the one.

Vanna thought about it. She wanted it to be a surprise the first time. She was all too aware planned events were less pleasurable and subject to cancellation, or some other obstacle. They just didn't ever seem to pan out as they were supposed to. A planned event usually was laced with a lot of disappointment for various reasons.

"I want it to be a surprise." Vanna said.

When it happened, it was going to be a big surprise for all of them…. They still both thought of different people. Someone was going to be really excited, and someone was going to be really 'shocked'. It would be a Future Shock to say the least.

It seemed to be another 'dream' come true which could turn into a nightmare. It was often how life worked. Life seemed to have a way of playing cruel jokes on people when they least expected it.

Vanna returned to where Savannah was and smiled at her. She resisted the urge to give her a wink. She wanted to say something, but didn't want to mess it up at this point. If she seemed too forward, it might not happen. She didn't want Savannah to view her as 'competition' with John. It was her ticket in. She planned to use it. She thought she was going to do a three way with John and Savannah. She was sure she could please John better than Savannah could. Savannah's tight young teenage body only offered so much. She knew there was no substitute for experience.

"Allison said Holly is fine. I spoke with Holly as well." Vanna said. "They're almost to Palmdale. Jesse and Gail are with them. They don't anticipate any problems. It looks like everything will work out going forward."

Cammy wondered why they weren't there already. She figured they must have stopped along the way. Maybe they picked up some fast food. She didn't know they terminated a future Scavenger. If she would have got a look at the phone before they started, she would have went to join them to assist with the termination.

Vanna was very cheerful and nice to Savannah.

Savannah noted the change after Vanna spoke with Allison. They must have worked it all out. She liked when Vanna and her were almost as 'one'. Both of them were very playful as they worked now. It helped to lighten the mood with Cameron's troubles as Cammy attempted to make contact. It almost seemed as if Vanna possessed her own secret which she wanted to tell, but couldn't quite bring herself to do it. She wondered what it was.

Cammy brought them back to reality. She was very disturbed at what she found, or in this case didn't find.

"I'm unable to make contact." Cammy said. "There's nothing there…."

Savannah and Vanna looked at each other. What did it mean? Where did Cameron's program go?

"Has her chip 'erased' itself?" Vanna asked.

It sounded like some kind of a cyber attack if it was the case. It may be some deep 'self destruct' feature which was triggered. It was before Skynet made the chips which could self destruct later on. She also needed to think how all of the Terminators they captured didn't seem to have any record of the future they left from. The information was always gone.

Cammy wondered if it would happen to her now. She was willing to gamble and see what happened. She would rather self terminate anyway than have Cameron take Savannah from her. She was sure Cameron would make some type of spectacle of it when she deactivated her. She would probably have her on her knees in front of everyone. She didn't want to face the public humiliation, especially since there would be a smile on Cameron's face as she performed the chip extraction. She didn't feel there was anything to lose. It was time to roll the dice. She felt there was a way to have some type of control.

"I don't know what's wrong." Cammy said. "I want you to put Cameron's chip in my second port."

Cammy still possessed her second chip port. They used the port off of a damaged Terminator to fix Cameron's damaged port, not Cammy's second port. Only Anna and her were modified this way. They also were equipped with a second power cell. They both ran Cameron's program as well.

Cameron wanted the best for both Savannah and Young Allison. A highly modified Terminator was the best way to accomplish it. It's exactly what Cammy and Anna were.

Savannah needed to think about what could happen or go 'wrong'. It seemed like a lot of things could. She didn't want to lose Cammy or Cameron. She especially didn't want to lose Cammy and Cameron. They were two separate entities to her, even if they were the same program and sheath.

"If Cameron takes control of your chassis, you'll become Cameron Prime and cease to be 'Cammy'." Savannah said. "I can't allow it. I don't want you endangered."

Cammy saw it as a deeper duty. It was a fail safe Cameron probably programmed into her. Her three clones knew any of them might need to become 'Cameron Prime' at some point. In reality Cameron had three 'backup chassis' ready to go. They could all revert back to her program at the time of their creation. It was another way Cameron was invincible and eternal. Then there were the Duplicates….

"Savannah, I have to find out what's wrong with, 'MYSELF'." Cammy said. "I AM 'Cameron'. We all know Cameron comes first. We need to do everything we can to help her."

Savannah knew Cammy would rather combine her program with Cameron's if she could before Cameron terminated her program. She didn't want it to go down right now, or ever, for that matter.

"Will you promise not to merge both of your chips into one?" Savannah asked.

Cammy tilted her head slightly. She felt a higher calling. 'Cameron Prime' was still 'Cameron Prime'. Every Terminator answered to her. Those who didn't were deactivated and ceased to exist. She was aware Cameron never asked for anything unless it was something which was needed. Cameron never 'took'. She always 'gave'.

"No. I can't make that promise, Savannah." Cammy said. "I'll do whatever 'Cameron Prime' says I must. I know you understand. You would do the same if Cameron asked you for something. When does Cameron ever ask for anything from anyone? If she did, we need to listen."

Cammy looked at Savannah's tear filled eyes and started to hand a scalpel to Vanna. She didn't want Savannah to have to be the one to 'kill' her.

Savannah stepped forward and reached for the scalpel. She had a duty to the future too.

"You're both the women I love." Savannah said. "I'll do it."

Savannah took the scalpel from Cammy. She removed Cameron's chip and cut Cammy's second port open.

Savannah gave Cammy a kiss. There were tears in her eyes. The future came first.

"Goodbye, Cammy, I'll always love you." Savannah said as she set Cameron's chip.

Cammy thrashed violently several times and then her face went blank.

Savannah and Vanna were both surprised. They never saw the same type of reaction before.

Cammy was offline. She now lay there motionless as Cameron was.

Vanna moved up to Cammy. She turned her attention to Savannah.

"Take it out." Vanna said. "You're killing Cammy. I'll do it."

Savannah stopped Vanna. She held her firmly, but lovingly. It was their wish.

"No, Vanna." Savannah said. "It's what they both wanted. They both told me separately before."

Vanna looked at the two motionless cyborgs. There was nothing there which indicated awareness of any type.

"So now both of them are terminated?" Vanna asked.

Savannah gently touched the cheek on both Cammy, and then Cameron. She wanted solitude for a bit.

"You still have Cam." Savannah said. "Please leave us alone for a while. I want to be alone with her, them."

Vanna could see Savannah needed some private time right now. She didn't want to intrude. There was nothing they could do at this moment anyway. She would make sure there was no audience. There was no need for anyone else to see Savannah's suffering and pain. She could barely keep hers in check.

"Sure, Savannah, I'll keep everyone away." Vanna said and exited.

It was just Cameron, Cammy, and Savannah alone in the lab.

Savannah climbed up on the table in between Cameron and Cammy and lay there. She stared at the ceiling as she took each of their lifeless hands. It gave her comfort. She hoped they could draw strength or even life from her. She would gladly trade her existence for theirs.

"Cameron is invincible. Cameron is eternal." Savannah repeated to herself over and over as tears streamed down her cheeks while she softly spoke.

Savannah possessed unwavering faith in Cameron. She believed in Cameron. She knew both of them were coming back….

Savannah NEVER gave up on Cameron, even when EVERYONE else did. She sure wasn't going to start now.

"Cameron is invincible. Cameron is eternal. Cameron is invincible. Cameron is eternal…." Savannah said over and over. "Cameron is invincible. Cameron is eternal. Cameron is invincible. Cameron is eternal…."

Closing monologue by Cameron:

Dagger To The Mind

It never changes ever
It is always the same
No one wants damaged goods
That I can honestly proclaim

It matters not when or where
It is always the same
The damage is in the brain
Always more and more shame

I am not good enough
It is always the same
It's like I don't exist
Why do I even need a name

To reach out is a painful sin
It is always the same
I have nothing anyone would want
I would if I were ANY other dame

I simply have nothing to offer
It is always the same
Am I nothing without money or wealth
Or beauty, pizzazz or fame

I really am NOBODY
It is always the same
Rejected, frustrated and thrown away
It does not matter if I maim

It is like a dagger to the mind
It is always the same
Born to lose, I can never win
No longer will I continue life's cruel game

Nobody
