Run (Old Version)

Chapter XX +I

The elevator rises and the floors past by quickly as I reach the second to last floor of the tower. The music stops as the door separates apart and the view of the office is clear. No one is here, and there is blood and police tape saying, "DO NOT CROSS" and "POLICE LINE."  I walk in and do one of the tricks I learn during my training. The desks are reassembled and put back in place just like they were on Friday, May 5th of 1955  when I flashed away of the office, away from Mickey and Geoff. I left again on April 29th of 1995, the day Kurt and I flashed to the future were it was September 28th of 2015. When trying to return to my own time I only went back to 2005, were I met a kid named Blake. He was a cute kid, but there was something about his attitude and emotions, that made me have a connection with him. Looking in the book at the Library in New York of 2005, there was the page of a week after I originally left, this date was Friday, May 12th of 1955. 

Now, I stand here at Mickey's desk, reading a card he had stuck to his desktop. It was just random scratches. I don't know what it said and the card was a little bloody, but this is what I found:     

                あなたは5月6日に返すようにするために私が待っていました。                                                    どこで私の小さな炎を行きましたか? 

I sit down and spin in the chair, then repeat time, so I spin again. "Ugh, this is like those murder mysteries that go on and on until you really mess something up." I try to look up what the symbols could mean, but the only clues I could find spelled. 

You ---- -- come back on --- 6, - --- waiting. Where --- you -- my ------ flame？

I knew this was defiantly from Mickey, without a doubt, he had called me his flame once, but if he left this on the 6th, then it has been a whole week since I have actually disappeared from this timeline. A pen shoots toward my face as I think of what to do, I grab it from the mid-air and then make a sheet of paper eject from the printer and get a slight paper-cut as I swipe it onto the table. 

I have been to many different timelines and each one has something different in it. I have also changed a few things but not all of them are the greatest. I have noticed what I have done and this is a note so I can look at later if a new or old timeline is to appear. 

Timeline 1- The Original 1995

In this timeline I had a normal life, until something made my powers to react, like their was something preventing the sun from keeping them calm. This was on April 29, 1995. I then waited until Thursday, May 4th to run away from my old life and see what I could do. I went to Burger King, stealing a few hundred bucks, then spent $3.87 at McDonald's, and told Joe to keep the $1.23 of change as a tip. I then darted down Lake Shore Drive and bumped into a woman were I froze time to make sure her groceries didn't fall. After that, a Mustang was parked across the street, but I didn't see any model number as I hot-wired driving to a White Sox game. They won the game 6-1 but I got handed a card that told me to visit the Black Pillar on the 107th floor. I knew I had to somehow get to the Sears Tower undetected, so I followed a Camero down Lower Wacker to a secret garage which rose up into the tower and took us to a parking lot on the 106th floor. I then listened into a conversation and also the radio, it said the something unnatural was happening in the city, but it was still unknown. Keith and the other guy started to talk how they noticed a girl at the Prairie Meet had been disqualified for being by the trophies as soon as the timer started the clock. I then sneak up to the 107th floor where I hid inside Mickey's closet and he asks me questions about myself. I get registered into the database and become a member of A.E.R.Z. After Mickey took me out, we arrived at his place at 10:06 p.m. Something happened and it become 10:07 a.m. of May 5th, the next day. We pasted Navy Pier as I did so. We then went back to the Black Pillar and I met Mr. Geoff Lajeany. He told me how he did the same thing I did when he was learning to use his powers, but now it was time for my ignition, then my initiation. During my testing I learned how to bend psychics and mess with time itself. I blurred out from blood rushing to my head from hitting into the sign on the way into the testing. I wake up and Mickey is around the corner. He comes to me and invites me into the Flock, calling me Flame.

Timeline 2- The Repeat of 95

The same things mostly had happened, except I was coming from The Original and knew about what as now happened in my future. First I thought I wish in a dream, but then the deja vu got the best of me. I was at McDonald's with a few hundred of bills in my pockets. I recount the money and notice Joe come to write my order. I leave him a $5 bill and rush to were I met the old woman with the groceries. However I pause, look at the Mustang I stole, and watch as the biker and woman didn't collide. I then waited for Mickey to rush past me during the sixth inning to rush after him after receiving the card to join A.E.R.Z. However this means I never had to sit behind the the 1980's Camero where I used my invisibility when the radio talked of my unnatural abilities. However I snuck in and listened to the radio, they now talked about a second bolt of lightning, mine was blue, Mickey's was red.  I fell back into the wall as I started to vibrate, then I was upside-down with the entire office looking at me. (Even Alena the Russian girl who never liked me in the first timeline was looking at  me.) Now I knew something was up. Although I got Mickey to get to know who I was, it was one day later then when I actually was supposed to be back in. I left Friday, May 5th, 1995, however the timeline of events I made in this time frame where on the same day, not May 4th, like I should have flashed back to. I also remember seeing the night I was suppose to be recovering from my coma, the moon was a half moon, which isn't all that significant as the solar eclipse during the April 29th Saturday Prairie Meet. I remember the Ferris wheel going up and I could see the moon hide behind the cart at the top most point. Then I flashed, running so fast until my blue steam of electricity came to a stop and I had robbed the Burger King untouched. Mr. Lajeany walks into an awkward moment I was having with Mickey as he tried to recall the parallel timeline. I then got flashbacks of who I am and didn't know what to do. At my preschool I knew of a boy named Mick, he was smart like me, and I found him cute. I was then  placed outside I knew what I had to do to the past to change the future. I spun around Mick on the merry-go-round, I landed back at the Saturday Prairie Meet.

Timeline 3- Change to 1995

As I came back to the Saturday Meet, I knew who I was. I knew what needed to be changed at not happen. I also had landed to the time  right before I made the whole thing mess up. I rushed to the beginning of the race without standing by the trophies and take the lead of 5th place. By the end of the race I came in 2nd, where I then met a man in a fedora  saying the Alpha Code is changed, no more Error Zero. I fainted at the field and wake up in my bed like it was a normal day. Scotty came into my room in the morning, and then there was a jet black car that showed up at my house. It was Keith Gram, the man who I keep trying to identify but he is never registered in my mind. The Black Pillar was fading away and the only thing I thought to do was go into the future. 

From 2015 to 2005

Somehow I managed to go to far into the future when trying to fix the past. Yet I came to September 28th, 2015 and I was in Naperville.  At least there was a library but when I found a historical event that happened on May 12 of 1995, I only was able to travel back 10 years. A little boy named Blake woke me up and asked why I appeared out of nowhere. He also mentioned that now we were in New York, instead of Naperville, Illinois. I then vanished away from him, only touching 1995 and the word "may."

Timeline 4- Back to Original 1995 with a twist

So, this is where I am now, yet it is so messed up. I had woken up at Mickey's place but it was 11:59 of May 11th, the Thursday before the murder. There I was then laying in a field of grass, with a journal entitled PHiX, which I have seen in a far back memory. Inside was a note from Mickey saying that I could fix problems that had happened after I left. 

The date on the letter was May 6th, I finally notice as I place the journal next to the paper I was writing these timelines out on. Next to the date, it had a scribble that spelled out when decoded it was Flame. It was written: May 6, 1995 === 炎  I was in shock now, I couldn't believe I haven't seen it before. But the place Mickey wants me to go to is simply what I saw in the 3rd timeline. However, I should not mess with time anymore, too much harm has been done to Chicago and our futures.

It is time for the blue light to shine brighter. I must find the Flock, we must unite and become a shade of purple. A wheel should be turned backwards and I must learn how now a real mystery can be solved. I know who I am. Ignis Ersupreo will be a Phoenix. It is time I make my powers blaze out in a starburst, and remake how the timeline should have originally have been made.
