[Owen Flashback POV]

I go over to my mother's grave and I talk to myself. The grave has my mother's last name, with the day she died, December 23rd 1991.

"What is pain? People don't really know what true pain is. The moment you were taken from me, I became hollow, hollow as a demon. They said that your death, was an accident. But I know the truth, they could have saved you, but they let you die, they let you take a bullet from them." I say.

I then kneel down on the ground, and I make my mother a promise.

"There will be no accidents, I promise you, I am going to take from them, what they have taken from you!"

I then kiss my mother's Tombstone and I leave off to find the people responsible for my family's killer.

[End Of Flashback]

[Owen POV]

I transport myself and an unconscious Kyle, to an undisclosed location. I then contact Eric and I inform him about my location. Suddenly, I hear Kyle groaning, beginning to wake up.

"Rise and shine, old friend, I have something to show you." I say. to him, slapping him in the face.

"Where did you bring me?" He asks me, while groaning.

"I wanted to show you the place where the Prime Shifter must go, the place where she has to make a choice..."

Kyle then struggles to get to his feet.

"And you want her to save your mother, but what if she refuses you again?" He asks.

"If she refuses, then I will go back in time  and I will reverse the effects of the Prime Shifter, exposing you to the government." I declare.

"You're so fixated on your mother, that you are willing to destroy anything that gets in your way?" Kyle asks me.

"Yes, I am willing to do just that. I would do anything for my mother! Even if that means setting my race up for certain doom." I say.

"I understand. You want to save the one you love, but you know we can't let you do that." Kyle says, trying to reason with me.

"You know, after all these years, you still try to lecture me on what is right and wrong, but you don't know the pain of losing a person you care for." I say to him.

"That maybe so, but I won't sacrifice the lives of many to save the life of one. I would let that person rest in peace." He explains to me.

"Tell me something, Olivia may not save my mother, but her parents... She may save them. In the end, me and Olivia are the same. We both lost our parents later in our lives and we were both dazed and confused about the reason why. She may save her parents, denying her destiny to save all of time." I say.

Kyle then walks up to me and he says, "It's her choice, weather she wants to save her parents, or save the fabric of Time, the decision will be up to her..."

Kyle then spits in my face, and I punch him in his jaw, knocking him down to the ground.

"You want to know why I killed so many Shifters? Why I killed my own kind? I didn't kill them just for answers, I killed them, because they remind me of what I lost. It's their aura, their energy, their blood, it all comes back to my mother, who was killed by the very people, that were like her." I explain.

I then grab Kyle by his trenchcoat, and I make sure he hears me.

"That day, made me hate your kind! It made me loathe these abilities that I had, I must erase that day from existence, it is a nightmare that I do not want to relive! It is like a poison in my veins!" I say.
