Bread on Toast - A Future Man Fanfiction

Pandora's Mailbox

Warnings: strong language, Tiger throws up at one point...yeah, I think that's it

  The van was silent as they drove to an empty lot in Loma Linda. It was almost 1 in the morning by the time they pulled up to it. Josh parked the van and the four got out, but only three of them walked up to the site.

  "We're gonna jump in, find the lab, and don't kill James Cameron in the process." Josh explained.

  "I've never seen you this focused." Wolf said. "Did you get a charge in before we left?" Wolf looked at him, disgusted. "Little necro charge?"

  "What?!" Liv stopped walking. Josh did too.

  "That's a thing?" He grimaced. "No! No!"

  "That's fucked up." Wolf muttered, looking Josh up and down.

  "What the fuck is charging in?!" Liv asked, thinking she may have figured it out  but wasn't exactly sure.

  "Nothing!" Josh waved his hands in the air, wanting the conversation to end. "Listen! I'm just trying to get you and Tiger out of here before the Biotics show up and start causing harm or- or good...I can't be sure anymore." Josh looked around, realizing Tiger wasn't with them. "Where the hell is Tiger?!"

  Wolf and Liv shrugged and looked around with him. "Oh, there she is." Liv pointed to Tiger coming up over the hill.

  "Where were you?" Wolf asked.

  "Oh, I was just having a stranger put her rat hole around my penis when I was supposed to be running an interference op. Oh no, wait, that was you." She squinted at Wolf. Josh looked at Liv, confused.

  "It's called a blowjob, and I'm never apologizing for it." Wolf said smugly, firing up the TTD.

  Tiger looked at Liv and Josh. "You do realize that if this goes wrong we'll be stuck in 2023 with no coming back."

  "Honestly, after the way this night has gone, I kinda don't care. Let's just do this." Josh said in a defeated voice. He put a hand on Liv's shoulder. She looked over at him, feeling her cheeks get hot, but then realized he had a hand on Wolf's shoulder too. Tiger also put a hand on her.

  "First time time traveling, you excited?" Wolf asked Liv.

  Liv nervously shook her head. "No."

  "It'll be okay, Liv." Josh said, moving his arm around her protectively. Liv side eyed him and furrowed her brows.

  "Hey, what happened tonight?" Tiger asked.

  "Are you out of your fucking mind?" Josh lashed at her, surprising both Liv and Wolf. The feeling of time traveling was crazy, because it just felt like Liv was hit with a big blast of air. One second they were outside then the next they were inside of a house. A big house. The second they landed, Tiger took her hand off of Liv's shoulder and paced away, clearly annoyed by Josh's tone of voice.

  "I genuinely don't know what you mean, but you might wanna check that attitude of yours at the..." she looked up and realized where they were. "Very impressive door." The lights in the room turned on, sensing activity. Josh, Liv, Wolf, and Tiger all looked at each other.

  "Hello, and welcome!" An automated voice said kindly. "Please accept my apologies, I was unaware there were guests in the house. I will run a full diagnostic to determine the cause of this error to ensure it does not happen again." Wolf and Tiger immediately pulled out blasters.

  "Woah, woah, woah, woah. Stand down."  Josh said quietly. "Cameron must have, like, a smart house or something."

  "What the fuck is it then?" Wolf still had his blaster drawn and pointed at the ceiling.
