My Love; My Life: Slipping Through My Fingers

2026: Shocking Dr. Sheldon Cooper

Setting: where we last left Hyla & Agent F...

"Hyla?" F starts

"Yes?" She replies

"Where in the hell are we?" He asks her

"My uncle's apartment building," she replies after looking around

"Where and when?" He asks her

"February fifteenth two thousand twenty six," she says checking the gauntlet, "Pasadena California."

"What the hell?!" He snaps in a low voice

"I put in the wrong location ok?" She snaps back before he hand goes to her forehead and she starts looking dizzy

"Damn," he curses, catching her as she starts to fall, "which one is yer uncle's?" He asks as he sweeps her into his arms, "we can't go back with you like this and I bet the time gauntlet needs ta charge."

"4B," she tells him, too out of it to argue, "elevators broken," she tells him, "it was for a while, then got fixed," she tells him, "then it broke again the first time I came ta visit."

"How?" Asks as he starts up the stairs

"I broke it," is the only answer she gives him

"How?" He repeats as he climbs the stairs

"Why'd y'all kiss me?" She asks changing subjects

"Oh look," he says quickly, "we're here."

Knock knock knock

"Uncle Sheldon!"

Knock knock knock

"Uncle Sheldon!"

Knock knock knock

"Uncle Sheldon!"

     The door opens to reveal a shocked Sheldon as he stares at the man holding what seems to be a grown version of his favorite niece and he eyes them suspiciously...

"Who are you?" He asks

"I'm yer niece," she mutters, "Hyla-this is...a friend," she tells him

"Can we come in sir?" Agent F asks, "she's sick."

"Get away from me!" Sheldon exclaims now panicked as he slams the door in their faces

"Nice goin," Hyla mutters to him, "UNCLE SHELDON PLEASE!" She shouts, "I can tell ya somethin that'll make it worth gettin sick!"

"Like what?" He asks peeking out at them through the slightly opened door

"The future," she tells him

"..." he eyes her with a suspicious look for a moment before letting them in, "fine," he agrees, "you can stay," he tells them, "Amy's in the hospital and Ace is at the Wolowitzs."

"The Twins will come tomorrow," Bay tells him

"Not exactly futuristic news," he declares, "anyone could predict that."

"We're from the year two thousand forty eight," she tells him flat out, "I built this," she tells him as she holds up the time  gauntlet, "here's the blue prints-I need ya ta hide them and not build this," she adds in as she pulls them from her bra hands them to him, "or the future and is fucked-"

"!" Sheldon goes wide eyed and starts freaking out as he stares at the blue prints, "a time machine built in the form of an infinity gauntlet! How did you do this? Can I try it out? Please, please, please!"

"No," Hyla snaps, "it's not a toy," she tells him, "playing with time can be dangerous and alter the space time continuum if not careful."

"..." he pouts like a child
