James POV

I roll off my bed "not a good way to start my morning" I say to myself

I hear footsteps coming towards my room "time to change back" I say to myself shifting back to a human

Molly comes in my room "morning James how are you?" molly says

"I would be better if I didn't roll off my bed how about you" I say

"I'm great I got a good night sleep and I'm feeling good" molly says

"Lucky you" I say

"Anyways I'm going to be gone all day you can handle being home alone right" molly says

"Yea I can where are you going?" I say

"Work stuff you know" molly says

"Yea I know" I say

"Well see you later tonight" molly says leaving my room

"Sweet i get to have the house to myself all day time to experiment with my abilities" i say to myself

I get a text from jack "hey man you down to hang today?"

"Nah sorry I got some stuff to do today" I text back

"Alright I'll text you later" jack texts

I get off the ground "alright time to have some fun" I say to myself

I walk to the backyard "right now it's time to see if I can fly" I say to myself shifting into a dragon

I start pumping my wings and i get a couple feet in the air "this is so cool now let's see if I breath fire" I say to myself landing on the ground I focus on heating up my stomach and a line of fire comes out through my mouth and the fire starts spreading "oh man not good molly is going to kill me if she sees this" I say to myself trying to put out the fire

I put out the fire in a few minutes "man I did not expect that to happen" I think to myself

"Well I see that you're trying out your powers" someone says behind me

I turn around and I see my future self "hey  I don't know what to call you" I say

"Well just call me whatever is remotely close to my name"

"Alright I'll call you James 2" I say

"Really that's the best name you can come up with?" James 2 says

"Yea anyways what are you doing here" I say

"Well I can't say much but shapeshifting is not your only power" James 2 says

"Really what is it?" I say

"I don't know you'll find out eventually anyways I got to go see you around" James 2 says going through a portal

"Well that was interesting" I say to myself

James 2 comes out the portal "I need to tell you one more thing" James 2 says

"What is it" I say

"Well I found out that Carl has a hidden lab somewhere in a forest somewhere" James 2 says

"Really?" I say

"Yea but I don't know exactly where but if you find it you may find out a bunch information about your new power or something anyways now I'm leaving" James 2 says going back through the portal

"My dad has another lab that may give me answers I'm looking for sweet" I say to myself shifting back to a human

I get a text from an unknown number "James carter I know your little secret meet me at the abandoned movie theater in an hour bring no one"

"Who is this how do you know my name?" I text back

"Doesn't matter who I am just meet me or else" he texts back

"Alright I'll be there" I text back

"Good see you soon" he texts back

I start walking towards the abandoned movie theater "I have a bad feeling about this" I think to myself

I arrive at the theater and i go inside "I'm surprised this place is still standing after all these years" I say to myself

"You arrived early I'm surprised" someone says walking towards me

"Alright man you better tell me who you are" I say

"You seriously don't recognize me I'm hurt"

"No I don't can you remind me" I say

"5 years ago lab explosion sound familiar?"

"Yea but how would yo- no impossible dad you're alive how?" I say

"Well let's just say I made a deal with the devil" Carl says

"What do you mean by that?" I say

"I can only stay here for a certain time before I go back" Carl says

"Go back to where?" I say

"I can't tell you" Carl says

"Also how did you get my number?" I say

"I remembered it" Carl says

"Well how can I get you to stay permanently" I say

"Well you have to time travel back before I died and save me from my mistake" Carl says

"Jesus why is it always me that has to save people" I say

"Well since you met your future self from a different timeline there's a bunch of timelines that got opened up" Carl says

"Oh man this is a lot to take in" I say

"I know it's a ton of stuff for you to take care of but you can do this you're the only hope to restore the other timelines" Carl says

"So what do I have to do to fix everything?" I say

"Well you have to jump from timeline to timeline and stop certain events from happening" Carl says

"How I don't know nothing about time travel" I say

"Go to my hidden lab it's in a forest somewhere Now you can't tell anyone about this you have to do this on your own" Carl says

"Like i didn't have enough to deal with and why Can't I tell anyone?" I say

"It might really mess up time also take this" Carl says handing me a bracelet

"The hell is this bracelet for" i say

"When you time travel that bracelet will protect your memories I got to go good luck James" Carl says fading away

I put on the bracelet "I will admit I like this bracelet" I say to myself

I start walking home "I have to fix a bunch of timelines Jesus I thought future me had it tough this is worse man this sucks" I say to myself

I arrive home and i get a text from jack "hey man I just wanted to check on you how you doing"

"Im very stressed out" I text back

"What's going on?" jack texts 

"I just got a lot on my mind" I text

"You want to talk about it?" jack texts

"No I just want to sleep" I text

"Alright see you tomorrow" jack texts

I walk to my room and i lay on my bed "I'm tired time for some Sleep" I say to myself falling asleep
