        When Add did get there, he found himself fourteen years in the future in the same spot. The place he was in was different and a door was where the little girl he had saved would have been standing. "Damn it. I got the coordinates wrong again...but she seems to have actually won the bet," Add muttered to himself as he looked at the less abandoned looking building that he was in. There were blankets in the room and signs that someone had somewhat been living here.

        The door in front of him abruptly flew open,  and a girl stood there with tears streaming down her face. Add just stared at the slightly familiar face of the girl for a moment until she shot forward and hugged him. Her crying got worse as she clung to him. "I knew you'd still come back," she spoke through her tears. It was then that Add realized who the girl was.

        "You're still here. I'm surprised," Add said since he really was genuinely shocked that she remained.

       "Go back. Take me away from here to your time. Just don't leave me in this one," the girl said through her tears.

        "What? Why? You won the bet and you somehow still remember me despite..." Add was saying, now wondering why he hadn't pushed the girl away from him. She was technically invading his personal space and he rarely even allowed anyone to even enter it.

      "They came back. They didn't kill me. They use me as a tool now. I hate it. They found out about my immunity to that disease and the reason I have my abiities," she explained as she hugged Add tighter, nuzzling against his shoulder.

        "Right, but can you let me go. You're starting to cut off my air supply," Add said. The girl immediately let him go and muttered an apology. "How many years did you show up here just to see if I'd show up?"

        "Every year since the day you traveled through time. I read your last thought before you left. You have time troubles," the girl explained as she dried her tears.

        "I can't go back and change the past anymore. Saving you already probably caused a time anomaly and I can't risk that. Besides, I don't know where else I could possibly take you. Coming to my timeline isn't an option," Add said.

        "You have to do something. I may not know you very well at all, but there has to be something you can do, please. I'm tired of being treated as a test subject," the girl pleaded.

        "I have other things to do that are more important to me...but I guess I can do one thing," Add mumbled.

        "What?" the girl inquired. She was eager to hear whatever option Add gave her.

        "I'll come back and visit you here in the same spot every now and then. When I finish my own goal, I'll come back and only then will I bring you with me. The visits are to make sure that you're still okay. I know I said I couldn't bring you to my time but..." Add trailed off. His own words surprised him since he was never interested in anyone else's wellbeing but his own and his mother's.

       "But what am I supposed to do about those people?"

        "I don't know. I can maybe teach you a little bit of self defense or help you plan for an escape, but other than that, there's nothing I can do," Add said. His stubbornness was returning, and he wasn't sure if it was a good or bad sign.

        "And you said you'd come back here every now and then. How will I know when?" the girl asked. Her demeanor was still sad but a little ray of hope was in her eyes.
