Get ready for some OC's :)

May, 1990
The first thing Jack did when he woke up in this strange new New York was try to find the trainyards--whatever it looks like now.
Try to take the first train to Santa Fe.
Because there really is nothing for him here, is there?
Unfortunately, his head hurts, and he's a little dizzy.
Luckily, he's made it to this New York's trainyards, and is trying to find a ticket to Santa Fe.
Back in the summer, he kept Pulitzer's bribe money. Of course, he doesn't have all of it on him right now, but he figures he should have enough to be able to board the train.
Of course, he will just sneak on the train if he can't buy his way on.
No luck with money.
Sneak his way on it is.
What he doesn't realize is that the family he is following have tickets for a city that does start with an S, but is not Santa Fe.
His head is hurting too much for him to notice.
As soon as he boards the train, he finds a seat, and dozes off immediately.
He dreams of being back in 1899, of taking the train with David to Santa Fe. For some reason, in Santa Fe, there is no one who is after them for being two boys in love. No one is after him for being a boy who was not born a boy. He is allowed to be who he is, and no one is trying to make him think or act like anyone else.
It feels nice.
He feels free.
And David's fond smile makes him feel warm inside.
A smile creeps on his face in the real world.
Such a pleasant dream.
He is woken up by a voice calling: "we have arrived in Seattle, Washington. The local time is 12:34 pm. Thank you for riding, and enjoy the rest of your day."
Jack jumps up with a jolt. "SEATTLE?!"
His heart is racing.
No, there must be some mistake. I must have heard it wrong.
Everyone is staring at him. He bites his lip.
He looks outside.
Instead of a desert, he sees trees and rain.
Not Santa Fe.
He is somewhere else entirely.
Luckily his headache is gone, so at least he can think clearly now.
There's just something about this city that he can't put his finger on. It feels...
...it feels like he'll find what he was looking for here.
Maybe he can go to Santa Fe another day.
Whether by mistake or fate, he's here now, in Seattle, in 1990, so he might as well figure out why.
