Time Travellers' Daughter

Act Three

Sara paced in front of the four kids. They had all moved to the gallery, the kids in seats and the adults standing around them. There was no way the baby inside her could be the teenager sitting in front of her now. But she looked like the perfect genetic mashup of her and Ava, she sure acted like Sara when she was a teenager.

Ava laid a hand on her arm, stopping her. "We're going to have to talk to them eventually, there is still an aberration to deal with."

Sara grabbed her hand in reassurance. "Okay, since the cat is out of the bag..." She looked at Laurel, her daughter, that was going to take some getting used to. "You are going to have to tell us as much as you can."

Laurel's mouth set into a thin line. "That is against the rules."

Sara looked over her shoulder at Ava. "She gets that from you."

Ava's gaze softened for a second before returning to the group. "We will make sure to get our memories wiped when this is all over." She said as if she was still the director of the Time Bureau. "Right now we just need the truth."

Laurel crossed her arms. "Well, you know most of it. We went on an unsanctioned mission to 2010 to try and fix the aberration but things went a bit sideways."

Sara always thought she and Ava would be the kind of moms their kids could come to with anything. "Why didn't you just come to us," She asked. "Well, the future us." The look on Laurel's face makes her regret asking. "Unless..."

"Oh no," Laurel corrected. "You're alive." Sara let out a sigh of relief. "Basically you two, run a Time Bureau 2.0, but better." That shocked Sara. "You train the next generation of Legends, teach us the rules, the history until we are old enough to join missions."

"But you broke the rules to do this mission," Ava said, sounding slightly disappointed, Laurel visibly shrunk.

"All the other agents were on assignment when the aberration popped up, it just seemed like a good opportunity..." She trailed off.

"But I still don't understand why we weren't there to stop you." Sara knew that as a teenager she was tricky, always making trouble for her dad, but she doubted her daughter would be that troublesome.

Laurel looked away. "Look I did come to you guys for help, just not the present you." She shrugged. "It took mama months to get mom to go on vacation and I'd be so grounded if I interrupted that. Besides, Uncle Nate was in charge of Camp X."

"Camp X?" Ava asked. "Like the world war two spy camp in Canada?"

Laurel nodded. "More or less. You adopted the name when you based the new Time Bureau in Canada, the American government didn't trust you after last time."

Ava nodded along but she looked like she was having trouble grasping everything, Sara was having a hard time herself. "Well, that explains you, who are all of you." She said making eye contact with the other kids.

The kids looked to Laurel, who nodded. "These are other Legends' kids." She said pointing. "Damien and Natalie Palmer, the twins of Ray and Nora." She pointed to the two black-haired kids. "And this is Koda, one of Mick Rory's kids."

Everyone looked at each other, no one in the room had kids in the new Legends team it seems, except Sara and Ava. "What about the other girl?" Astra asked, Sara, assumed since she had the closest skin tone to her.

Something passed over Laurel's face but she hid it. "Ari is from National City, one of the Orphans but a good one."

"A good one?" Sara asked.

"Way to go Laurel." Natalie shot at her.

Laurel glared in her direction. "Not important, that is Emse and Lizzie Danvers' problem."
