WE STEPPED THROUGH THE FOREST!
adam and i were still holding hands.
i couldn't let go of him.
it felt like he was the only thing holding me to this reality.
"jets not reading me because of my vitals. i'll need your dna to start her up. when we get to altitude, the bio stop will come down, and then i can take over. we have to move fast, or they'll be on us before we can jump to 2018." older adam instructed.
"wait, what? i'm not coming with you." adam said.
"yes, you are. let's go, we need to go."
"will you stop and listen to me? this is my fixed time. you already had my childhood. you had adventures, you flew planes, and i'm still the nerd with an inhaler who gets his ass kicked! i want the rest of it, and i'm not leaving cherry behind!"
"you want the rest of it?"
"yeah!"
older adam stood up.
"okay, here's the the rest of it. dads death screws you up more than you ever realize. you get depressed. you get angry. you wander around high school without making a social dent." older adam stared right her at his younger self.
"college is a high point, until after a year, you lose your scholarship for something that is so unbelievably stupid i cannot even say it out loud right now." he continues.
"you end up in the air force. turns out you could really fly. and then along comes time travel, and the whole world starts to fall apart, and then you leave the woman you love for another woman because you can't let her down and keep letting her fix you, and you regret it for years, and then your wife and the woman you love gets taken away from you! do you understand me? till you lose.. she just gets taken away." older adam finished, no longer able to speak.
"there's gotta be more than that. my life is different." adam insisted, holding up his hand which was clutching mine.
"there is, kid. and thanks to sorian, none of its good. we can fix it."
"by destroying time travel? and making me lose cherry?"
"that's right."
"how are we even gonna do that? what's your plan? i'm not losing cherry, especially if you don't know for sure if you can even stop this safely."
"i'm not gonna explain my plan to a twelve year old nerd with an inhaler-"
"you don't have a plan."
"because i do not have a plan."
"exactly."
"that is correct. but, i know somebody who might."
"dad?"
