Of all the roads that have been walked on in this old world, this one has been the one less traveled on. Hidden well behind the hills it runs right into the heart of the abandoned rebel land, where evil had not touched the dirt. His footsteps come to a halt just before the entrance to the underground labyrinths. The man stands tall and fearless covered in a dark cloak, waiting for what is to come.


“Well what do you have for me kid?” The older woman is clad in tight leather pants, and a black top. She too is covered in a dark cloak, and is known to all as Dania one of the last Pscionics.

“I’m not a kid haven’t been one in a long time.” his voice is deep showing no emotion whatsoever and vaguely familiar.

“What did you see.” she pulls her hood down, her round face is surrounded by brown hair, streaked with white.

“The changes have already begun to take place.” he replied.

“And?”

“They're not enough.”

“Than we must send her back.” she replies almost with regret.


“No!” he steps forwards in protest his hood falls back revealing a crop of dark hair. His silver eyes sparked up.


“I don’t like this anymore than you do but it must be done, if we are to salvage this….” indicates the place around them. “This world or what‘s left of it.”

“I won’t do it.”

“Are you so willing to let thousands of us die for the price of one life?” she retorts angrily.

“I can’t.”

“You must.”

“She will die.”

“Than so be it!” Dania is furious at his apparent love for the girl. “Don’t be so insolate Bren. This must be done or we all die.” Her voice softened up a bit. “Your parents will live, and so will MutantX. Bren…” she places a hand on his shoulder, he pulls away as if her hand had burned him. “I am sorry about her, I love her as well.”


“You‘re so full of shit Dania.”

“I know you’re hurt at this solution, but you know as well as I do that this must be done. I made sure she and the others had no memory of the first trip. She’ll be fine so long as it is just her.”

“No, she can’t go alone, not this time.”

“There is no way you can go with her, I mean even with your power of Time Traveling, Bren it’s too dangerous someone will recognize you. No, forget you even thought about it.”


“Dania I am not gonna send my sister to her death, because you think it’ll fix things.”

“I don’t think, I know. This has to be done and it has to be soon.”

“I won’t do it.”

“Than we’re all doomed, because Bren Mulwray says it to be. Your father would be so proud.” voice filled with sarcasm and disappointment.

“You don‘t know anything about my father.”

“Don‘t I?”

“You know if this is you’re negotiating skills, you suck.”

“Negotiate this, if you don’t send them back, I’ll find another who will.”


Bren’s laughter only made her angrier. “Good luck finding one who can.”


“And what is that suppose to mean?”

“Ever wonder why you came to me in the first place?” he looked at her waiting for any answer, and smirked when she didn‘t respond. “It’s because I’m the only one who can do this.”
